Having fart-sacked many Saturdays this year, I woke up yesterday at 6:40 & was ready to Q and be the bacon. Having checked to see if anyone had signed up, I hit the ground running. Arrived at The Bear at 6:56 finding only 3 Cousin Eddies waiting to see if anyone from the home team would show. Lo & behold, 4 more pax arrived. No announcement needed, so we got started. Having no Weinke to follow, I led the pax around the AO, and the following is a loose remembrance of our workout.

CURB SIDE PICK UP

A even dozen pax posted this moist beginning of May. Restaurants and bars will be open again soon, but just to remind everyone of what is open for curb side pick up, we did a little tour. No FNGs, so we jumped right into.

Warm-o-Rama

  • SSH 4CICx20
  • Imperial Walkers 4CICx20
  • Sun Gods 4CICx10, reverso
  • Downward Dog OYO
  • Burpees OYOx5

The Thang

We moseyed the streets of the big city and stopped at the following locations and did a few exercises.

  • Black Beard’s – Reverse Plank Marches 4CICx20
  • Cypress Hall – Mountain Climbers 4CICx20
  • MJ’s – Iron Mikes SC OOx20
  • Baker’s Kitchen – American Hammers 4CICx20
  • NOTE: The previous 3 exercises were rinsed & repeated in a rotating fashion
  • Bella’s Cafe – Single Leg Bridges 4CICx10, switch legs, bridge hold, repeat
  • Beer Army – Army (Diamond) Merkins OMDx20, rinse & repeat
  • Thai Angel – Sweat Angels 4CICx20
  • Prohibition – 100’s (Black Dog answered the trivia question of when did Prohibition start ? 100 years ago – for being the first to answer, he got to lead the count)
  • Galley Store – Dirkins OMDx20; Irkins OMDx20
  • Persimmons – Crabby Patties 4CICx20
  • Sadly, Bay Leaf was closed as I was not aware it was partially open. An Indian Run could have been implemented, but that would have led down a rabbit hole of Christopher Columbus’ misadventures. (Hope my 4th grade history memory is correct here)

We then were to mosey to the rails at the river walk, but a sighting of Purdy Mouth doing his Virtual Workout and looking very lonesome, an audible was called and we lined up for a glorious Monkey Humper salute to the tune of 4CICx20.

At the river walk handrails, we performed 20 Pull-Ups OYO and 20 Toddler Squats OMD. Moseyed back to the flagpole.

LBCs OMUx20

Counted, named, no announcements requested – sorry about that – getting rushed by Goose. Closed in Lord’s Prayer.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.

Aye!

  • The Pax: Blackdog, Double Dipper, BitCoin, II Fingers, Oz, Faulkner, Goose, BubbleGuts


Wednesdays are usually packed. But I guess the rain/threat of rain kept the pax locked down in the fartsack. However, a hearty pax of 9 braved the possibilities to post on what turned out to be a great morning. The rain stopped and we got started with an impromptu Q by YHC.

Warm-o-rama

  • SSH 4CICx15
  • Sun Gods 4CICx15, reverso
  • Baseball Stretches OYO
  • Carrot Pickers 4CICx15

The Thang

Started off with a Blue Hawaiian, returned to the parking lot. Due to the lack of a planned routine, YHC chose to do 11s with the exercises being chosen by the pax. II Fingers chose Burpees. Don’t ask II Fingers.

11s across middle parking spaces – Monkey Humpers & Merkins.

Indian Run to Bushwood entrance for Mountain Man Poopers 4CICx15.

Prisoner mosey back to parking lot.

11s across middle parking spaces – Burpees & single count Plank Jacks.

Scout run to Bushwood entrance with scout performing Copperhead Squats. At entrance Star Jumps OMUx15.

Snake speed walk back to parking lot (was really hard to stop the runners from running).

11s across middle parking spaces – American Hammers (4C OYO) & Box Cutters.

Mary

None

Closed with name-o-rama, announcements and prayers for all the caregivers in our families and community.

Aye!
