The Grinch

YHC showed up at the Stadium at 0515 to see what appears like 5 homeless men who were attacked by neon jelly fish – one of those men looked back longingly at me, but all 5 took off for the Coop Mile. At 0530, 7 studs showed up at First Aid for a little taste of the Grinch. Here’s how it went down.

Warmup – Burpees IC; Merkins IC; Jump Squats IC; Toy Soldiers IC; Butt Kickers IC; High Knees IC

The Thang –  The Grinch – 10 reps of each exercise at three points:

• Gorilla Humpers
• Ranger Merkins
• Incline Merkins
• Nad Checker Squats (split squat, and you have to act like you are checking for seed ticks)
• C-Squats (this was a single leg release squat – hands and one leg extended to make a C – OK, YHC was desperate)
• High Knee Step-ups

A Court of Presents – The Grinch stole all The Who’s presents so today we gave something back. We made a mosey around the courts as a whole group to start. Then proceeded to do the following exercises. Two guys did 10 burpees to time for the other exercise the others did. The present was the burpees… 1) Jump Lunges 2) Jump Squats 3) Single Leg Squats 4) 10 Burpees OYO

We took a winding tour up and down the hill by the tennis courts looking for Mt Crumpit, but could not find it.

COT/BOM – Prayers for the ECU student who was in a traffic accident and hit another driver. Prayers for those who know both of those ladies. Prayers for happiness for finding a home and a family to live with. Prayers for injured pax, and those with job transitions. Prayers for men being brave enough to take care of themselves medically and get checked out.

Announcements – The Coop Mile will be an informal AO tied to First Aid. The men who want to run will post on Twitter and Slack and meet at 0515. The pax will be recorded in the First Aid backblast.

Moleskin – Today was a fun day. There were times to talk, times to check in, times to sweat, times to connect with other HIM. Today was fun.
