  • Kicking the day off right

    11 strong PAX decided to brave the rain and snow for the POG VQ. Full of Q energy 5:30am hit and we were off…

    Mosey to COP in parking lot: SSH, DQs, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Bolt 45s

    Mosey to wall around school for Donkey kick line of fire: PAX holds balls to wall while man on end starts set number of donkey kicks, move down the line one at a time until finished. First round 5, second round 10.

    Next up Burpee Catch me if you can Indian Run…A combination of Catch Me If You Can and a traditional Indian Run. The last person drops and does 5 Burpees, while the rest of the Pax mosey in a line. After completing the Burpees, the last guy runs to catch the group, tapping the (new) last Pax on the shoulder, who then stops to begin his 5 Burpees, while the (former) last guy continues on to the front of the line.

    Next up 50’s (not sure if that’s the correct name but seems fitting). PAX does exercise until first person gets to 50, PAX calls out 50 and sprints halfway around track. Start next exercise and sprint halfway around track, rinse and repeat. Exercises were

    1. SSH
    2. Squats
    3. Ball Dippers
    4. Monkey Humpers
    5. American Hammers
    6. WWIIs
    7. Plankjacks
    8. Merkins
    9. Donkey Kicks
    10. 20 burpees (took it easy because it was my first Q)

    Next up BEARmuda Triangle. PAX start at 3 corners in the shape of a triangle. Bear Crawl from one corner to another, first corner 1 burpee, second 2 burpees, third corner 3 burpees.

    With a few minutes to spare we went back to the wall for another round of Donkey Kick Line of Fire. This time starting at both ends and ending in the middle for the sake of time (and the Q’s fear of mutiny).

    Back to the flag for 1 minute of planks. Numberama, Namerama

    Announcements: HDHH 5:30pm tonight at O’Tooles

    I truly appreciate the support and being able to come out and lead this group of guys. Some of you know this but I actually never planned on coming to a F3 workout. I had been running in our neighborhood with Honeymoon for several months and I texted him if he wanted to run the next day. His response was “I’m running Murph with F3 tomorrow, want to go?” I read it as “I’m running with Murph from F3 tomorrow, want to go?”

    I said yes, thinking I was actually running with a guy named Murph from F3. 6 months later now I’m Qing and going almost everyday. I never would have thought that one misinterpretation of a text could cause that much positive change in my life.
