Wanted to have a little fun this morning at WestSide as it was my first Q in awhile. Growing up, some of you might remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books where you got to choose what page and/or chapter you go to next and based on that decision, the plot changed. YHC enjoyed those so wanted to create a similar “adventure.” 5:30 was here, 7 PAX circled up at the shovel flag and we began

WARM UP
SSH X 11IC
Good Mornings x 11 IC
Imperial Walkers x 11 IC

After the warm-up, YHC told the PAX that today they would be choosing their own adventure, or how YHC described it, their own beatdown. Rules were simple; 7 locations/chapters to choose from; building, back parking lot, side parking lot, the play”pain”ground, neighborhood, soccer field and baseball field. YHC would call on a PAX and they chose the first adventure and we went from there. The chapters took a bit longer than expected so YHC still has three more chapters to share with the PAX on a future Q!

YHC called on Hot Pursuit first as he is the WestSide site Q. He chose the neighborhood…
Head out for a nice mosey. Head out of church, made the first right and go all the way to the dead end. At each mailbox going, PAX performed one burpee. No burpees coming back, just head back to flag and plank for the six. A lot more houses on that street than YHC remembered… thinking we were close to 20 burpees

Hot Pursuit then called on Spinal Tap for chapter 2. That decision was followed by many groans. Tap chose the baseball field…
“Catch Me If You Can.” Starting at home plate, one partner would begin to backpeddle around the perimeter of the field while the other partner performed 10 merkins. After the merkins, they had to run down their partner and then the partners switched. Performed two laps around the field. Plank for the six.

Spinal Tap then called on Cheesehead. Cheesehead did his best ABC impersonation and chose the Play”Pain”Ground…
7/11 time!
11’s – Step-ups & Hanging Knee Raises
7’s – Pull-ups & Erkins

Running short on time, YHC knew we only had time for one more chapter. Cheesehead called on Fruity Pebbles who chose the side parking lot…
Partner-up and head to ditch bank. 2 rounds of fun here and each partner would flapjack each exercise before moving to next round. For each round, one partner will perform step-ups on the ditch bank while the other partner performs the following;
1st Round- Crab Walk to side of building and Bear Crawl Back
2nd Round- Lt. Dan to side building and Bear Crawl Back

6:15am so we moseyed back to the shovel flag…

Moleskin
YHC has been out of the gloom due to a hurt back. It was so good to get back out there with the PAX. Going through the injury really made me think about those injured PAX and those trying to get on the mend. Once you catch the F3 bug and it’s taken from you, its tough. There were two of us out at WestSide today that made it back so definite prayers going out to those trying to make it back.

Until next time…
Stabler Out!
