As we prepared to turn to the Lord in prayer at the conclusion of today’s festivities, the Very Rev. Prancing Horse thought it would be a good time to sing a few bars of the latter-day hymn “Baby Got Back,” specifically the line: “Cosmo says you’re fat, but I ain’t down with that.” Like the good knight of the realm Sir Mix-A-Lot, I am, indeed, NOT down with that. You won’t hear any fat shaming from this guy!

At the conclusion of the prayer asking God for serenity, another PAX wasted no time proclaiming “Serenity Now!” a la Frank Costanza.

This backblast started with COT to observe that you couldn’t have asked for a better capper for YHC than a sincere prayer bookended by irreverent pop culture references. My two love languages!

Grateful for this strong and lively group to energize YHC after a long night of disappointing hockey 🙁

4 for EC manmakers, 18 for ME

Standard warm-up, moseyed to blocks, partnered up. Got in two Dora-style rounds to the strains of a funky playlist.

PAX advised that early finishers were to do burpees until everyone got done; the idea is to incentivize not rushing through the reps. It’s form month, you know. A few actually took me up on this…

Dora # 1 – mode of travel was running length of parking lot and back
50 blockees (modify to burpee as needed)
100 derkins on blocks (modify to regular push up or irkin)
200 single-arm rows (switch every 10 or so)

Dora # 2 murder bunny width of parking lot, rifle carry back down
50 pull throughs
100 overhead press
200 curls

Made it home with a little time for MARY

33 LBC in tempo

5 burpees

COT

No announcements, see above for the rest

This group has had and continues to have such a positive influence in my life. Y’all make me want to be better and do better. Grateful. Aye!
