Magnificient 7

I was more than happy to take BJ up on his off offer to Q The Clydesdales. I had two rules in play while working on my Weinke, 1) KISS method Keep It Simple Stupid, I think Stupid won and 2) limited running. Before we actually got started met BJ, Lynard Skynard, Steamy, his neighbor Megan and myself for a little EC.

Warm up: short and sweet

25 – SSH – IC

15 – Good Mornings – IC

The Thang:

• Gate 6:
  • Wall – the peoples’ Balls to Walls 10 count
  • semi-circle – 11’s with step-ups and tricep dips
• Grassy knoll in front of the basketball practice center
  • 10 merkins – lunge or bear crawl to the other side, 2 burpees and then backward lunge or bear crawl back to starting position.
  • Rinse and Repeat 5 times, we ended up R&R’ing 3 times.
• Moved down to the long hill across from the steam plant for 7’s
  • WW1’s at the bottom and LBC’s at the top.
• Went to the back side of Minges pool where the chlorine being released was unpleasant at best.
  • The People’s Chair, 10 count.
• The final spot was the ‘normal’ big hill which feeds into lower Minges for more 7’s.
  • Squats at the top and jump squats at the bottom.

Unfortunately, we ran out of time during our final 7’s and at 6:12 headed back to the flag.

Prayer requests:

• Dr. Randy Parker battling cancer
• Lynard Skynard’s M travels to Trinidad and Tobago for family weddings. Prayers for her travel and safety while there.

Praises:

• WE BEAT THE FARTSACK!!

Moleskin:

Beating the Fartsack was the universal praise for this morning. The fartsack is why I will accept an offer to Q since I know the Fartsack cannot win. It was part of the motivation to be a Site Q for #BlastOff. Before taking over as Site Q, I had never posted on a Friday. It is a battle for me even when I feel that I am doing everything right i.e., going to bed by 10/11, limiting or no alcohol, setting my alarm so that I have to get out of bed to turn it off, etc. I am probably not alone in this battle, I even set up a Slack channel for Fartsackers which has zero conversations. If you are like me and battle with the Fartsack, hit me up, let’s take this on and WIN! #BeatTheFartSack
