As this was a last minute pick-up-the-Q, and since I’m coming off of an age related back injury I can’t do burpees or really any jumping, I decided to string together a series of things I’ve wanted to do downtown but never gotten to actually do.
Warm:
SSH, Imperial Walker, Hillbillies, IC squats with holds and pulses, IC merkins, shin box hip opener.
Tin man, walking lunges, fellowship mosey with butt kickers and high knees across the field to the steps completed Warmarama.
Thang:
12 merkins OYO at bottom of steps, mosey up through parking lot and then 8 merkins OYO.
Mosey around the hood, stop 12 then short mosey stop 8 merkins, 2x.
Get to the Atlas, the ugliest of the new buildings downtown. Do 12 merkins, proclaim how terrible it is and what a scourge to the aesthetics of our growing downtown, do a set IC monkeyhumpers with our business ends facing the lobby. Complete the 8 merkins.
Mosey around the corner, do a set of tie fighters, which sorta looks like Atlas carrying the world, toward the skate park. Mosey to bottom of circle for 12 merkins, back up to top for the 8.
Mosey to Pauli Murray’s mural and hill parking lot, partner up. One PAX holds peoples chair, the other does backward run up the hill, 20 merkins at top, mosey down and switch positions with partner. Round 2 is crawl bear up the hill and 20 merkins at top while PAX holds people’s chair. I love a good crawl bear, think it’s a fantastic shoulder and flute workout plus insane cardio, but confess I overshot on this one and had to modify. I will conquer it someday!
After switching with partner mosey to Carolina Theater and grab some wall. Round 1: 10 derkins, 20 knee up v ups on top of bench, 10 Irkins. Round 2: 10 merkins, ROF boat 5 count, 10 derkins. There were some shenanigans as PAX tried to tip each other backward into the fountain. Unfortunately all PAX had good core strength and balance and no one got wet.
Mosey to Startex for dealers choice ROF plank 10 count.
Announcements/ requests: quarterly report coming up, Q learning opportunity focused on 2.0’s coming up and Knope will post details, prayers and looking for opportunities for Funyun’s friend’s job search in sales.
COT: we hear this a lot but bears repeating that F3 is an important service in our lives. We get together to do something healthy, lift each other up and help each other through something difficult which can set the tone for our day. Rinse and repeat every day and the result is a process by which we help others, turn away from worthless things and do things that are worthy. Such a privilege to be with you all, and coffeeteria was great, too.
