Pasqually’s Record is Skipping…

YHC arrived at the AO with about 10 min. until the HS. Luckily, I won’t be alone for my VQ. Blart and Monkey Wrench were already there. Blart put out a flag in the pouring rain! Shortly thereafter, the rest of the group arrived. Gave a 4 min warning, 3 min, and 1 min. (Missed the 2 minute warning, but the PAX didn’t let me forget). Pasqually was the last to arrive (Surprise 😂), so I knew I couldn’t mess up the mission statement – or anything else for that matter. The mission statement was near flawless and really didn’t have any mumble chatter, so I was feeling good… That wouldn’t last. Gave the disclaimer and moseyed across the parking lot. The original plan was to run the trail in honor of my first post under Monkey Wrench’s Q back in October on Columbus Day. With the pouring rain and standing water everywhere, that was Omaha-ed.

The Thang
Moseyed to the covered part of the building. There was just enough wall space for some Balls to the Wall!
10 Count from each PAX, one at a time – BTTW
10 Count from each PAX, one at a time – People’s Chair (or wall squats, as I have always called them. Thanks, Griswald for the correction.)

Mosey Around the Parking Lot. In case we weren’t wet enough, Pasqually made sure to stomp through the middle of puddles for us…

Return to the Wall
5 Count of Merkins one at a time while in BTTW – which is a thing, but I don’t know the real name for them
5 Count from each PAX in People’s Chair with Air Presses

Mosey around the parking lot again

Wall again
10 count each, BTTW (Omaha-ed the merkins after so much mumble chatter)
10 count each, People’s Chair with Air Presses

Mosey around the parking lot again – TWICE (What was I thinking?)

Now to a different Picnic Shelter for 3 sets of…
Each of these had somewhere between 14 and 17 reps – Since it was my VQ, the PAX made sure to do all they could to totally mess up my count and rhythm. Pasqually sounded like a skipping record every time we got to 13… For a band director, they made it very difficult to keep a steady tempo. And yes, as was implied, my middle schoolers do behave better than the PAX this morning…

14-17 Urkins
14-17 Step Ups – each right & left foot
14-17 Durkins
14-17 Squats
3 or 4 sets – I forget… One set had Box Jumps instead of Step Ups

MARY:
Mosey back to the flags for a couple of Ab exercises – PAX Choice.  I didn’t think the group was wet enough, so I made sure we were on our 6s for the final 5 minutes.
Pasqually did 25 of something, but I can’t remember for the life of me…
Monkey Wrench did 25 American Hammers
Blart did 25 Giant Cockroaches
Gertrude did Xs & Os
Ronny B did Protractors up to the HS

6:15 HS

I enjoyed the extra Mumble Chatter. I could feel the love this morning! Thanks for letting me Q. SYITG!
