Boondocks 4/2/19

The morning started with seven men that gathered early enough for some second F, and couch potato suggesting that we hide behind the building from the cold north wind. With a minute or two to spare, in rolls a hot Cooter. Somehow a mission statement was mustered up through an early morning brain fog. Some half-assed disclaimer was stated as well (shameful knowing there was an attorney present). At 05:30 we moseyed to the back lot for some warmaRama laps. This included: monster walk, air press, side shuffle, chinooks, backpedal, butt kickers, inchworm Merkins, and windmills. We then moseyed to the back corner for a set of Texas Merkins. Each set built from 1 to 5, with a mosey in between, and ending after the fourth set. At this point, the Q remembered his pre-blast promise of low mileage 🤦‍♂️.  Looking back for the six, the Q remembered that the infamous tony Romo manned up and came to work out despite his knee injury. Omaha!  We would stay put and zigzag the parking lot lines with two squats at the top of each space. After circling the parking lot we headed back to the long curb in front of the church. We lined up and performed an uneven bear crawl to the end of the sidewalk, then mosey back to the start for an uneven crawl-bear. Next was an urkin side plankwalk halfway down the sidewalk, then switch to a Durkin side plankwalk to the end. Purple rain made his best attempt at mumblechatter here, but he got a little quiet and stood up before the end of the Durkin walk. Good try purple rain, maybe next time!  We then moseyed to the back lot for “Mary in the middle”. After some crude comments by our most respected brothers, we started a series of ab exercises to include: heels to heaven 25, hello dolly 25, ab circles 10 each, slow Peter Parker‘s 10, and reverse snow angels 25. Next, we lined up for a squat jump suicides with a backpedal on the return (Five jumps on each line). With time running short, we headed to the curb at the back of the parking lot for one of my original boondock Q thangs: 20 uneven squats each direction, 20 uneven Merkens each direction and 30 seconds AMRAP curb toe-taps. Palate cleanser lap. Back at the curb: 20 curb jumps, 20 urkins, 20 reverse step-ups, 20 Durkin’s, and 30 seconds AMRAP curb toe-taps. We ran another palate cleanser lap to the overhang,  as a light sprinkle started. With three minutes to spare we cranked out a Jack Webb including donkey kicks and hand release Merkins. We climbed the repetition ladder from 4 to 8 to 12, then were saved by the bell with a hard stop. NameaRama, announcements and prayer requests, to include medical concerns and a praise for navy’s daughter’s upcoming wedding celebration (Although, we should probably of just prayed for navy’s checkbook).  

Between a palmetto hangover, and battling the evil pollen/sinus funk, YHC was not very motivated to Q this morning. But as usual, after getting around my F3 brothers and into the groove with the warm-up, those thoughts were left behind. The motivation and accountability never seizes to amaze me with F3. Thank you pax for coming out today. Skidmark has come a long way in a short time. Backup continues to impress with 05:30 workouts at his age.     I appreciate the opportunity, sparkles… Today was a rare opportunity for a Griswold Q that never even left the parking lot! You would’ve loved it Snooki.  We miss you out there bro! (I haven’t been flicked off in a while ☹️)
