NMS: So just as our COT was ending who should we see but the F3 Celebrity Rosie getting in some miles and swinging by to say hello. Though the Governor has not lifted the COVID restrictions yet I am encouraged to start seeing more PAX getting out to the AO’s.

Numbers / Names YHC took us out

NMS:

Its getting to be the usual suspects that show up at certain AO’s and we had what I would call a large group at No Toll today of 5. The PAX really seemed to like the parking lot merkins this morning at least thats what YHC was hearing. THC has been modifying the man killers to include burpees in between each set and today showed some real promise but YHC limited it to 5 because he wasn’t sure how bad it would get with increasing the burpee count after each set. YHC sees no reason the PAX can’t get to 10 in one adventure “note to self”.

5 bleary-eyed detectives picked up the Easter Bunny’s trail somewhere south of Robious. Trying to summon the little hopper with some kind of ridiculous rain dance including Don Quixotes, helicopters, imperial walkers, Russian soldiers and some other flailing nonsense disguised as a warmup. After a short plank we recovered to find that our exertions had in fact summoned a force even greater than the white rabbit: Bone Thug, dropped out of the sky like a teleporting legend quietly stealing the candy from baskets all over the south side.

The hophazard search for the golden egg continued across all 4 corners of the field, escalating from 20-30-40-50 mirkins, WW2s, flutterkicks and LBCs. With no Benjamin Bunny in sight, they went another round and quite by accident completed a mile.

Back in Mr. McGregor’s garden, a double check curb crawl / dips were paired with bear crawls / lunges. There were still some weeds in the radish patch so the group went one more round.

Driven to madness by the still-missing mythical creature, the detectives chose a darker rabbit hole: suicide-straddle hops across the entire parking lot, which continued until 6:15, at which point the collective hallucination ended and the men were able to get back to their daily quarantine, still half-believing that they had been visited by the hollowed-out shell of last year’s chocolate mold. Until next year…

5 socially distant warriors took to the lush fields to embark on a classic No Toll beatdown. YHC saw the Q was open and decided to step up and lead for the 1st time of his F3 journey. The moon was bright, temperature a cool 70 degrees and the fields laid with a dewy hue. Here is what is rumored to have occurred:

Mosey to parking lot for COP SSH, DQ’s, Helicopters, Arm Circles, Reversos, Cherry Pickers were served up warm. All looked good so lets move.

THE THANG

Exercise 1 – Mile warm up cause why not In honor of mile a day month, warmed up with 2 laps around the fields of Robious park at your own pace. Doozy was on pace to lap YHC twice if it was extended. Al Gore for the 6. Bone Thug joins in the fun so onto the pavilion

Exercise 2 – X Games YHC had been giving this exercise some thought and decided to try it out. Start at the soccer pavilion PAX runs to different corner to enjoy 4 helpings of 25 American Hammers (2x), Mountain Climbers (2x), WWII’s, Jump Squats. Between each exercise PAX returns to the pavilion for 25 dips on the benches. Doozy led the Plank for the 6.

Exercise 3 – Triple Check PAX pounded the X so YHC had to start thinking of the next step. Back to the parking lot for a triple check. Timer – runs the parking lot, Curb Crawl and Pole Smokers were the exercises of choice.

Exercise 4 – Ring of Mankillers Back out to the dewy field for a ring of fire. YHC threw a quick audible and decided on some Mankillers. Doozy led a 5 count. Followed by Merkin Ring of Fire. BTTF to complete the work out with LBC’s and Freddie Mercuries.

Great job by the PAX. Went a lot faster than YHC thought. Excited to get back on the Q sheet shortly.

Thoughts and prayers to Doozy and his mother in law along with Bone Thugs and his family as they are battling health concerns.

Was a great effort by all today. Everyday you don’t challenge yourself is an experience missed. Keep grinding and good things will come.

7 equally distanced warriors posted for a no Q, No Toll beat down. Once gathered at a somewhat equal distance to talk about how this was going to work hot potato style, Tobit threw YHC under the bus as the first come first serve representative Q. YHC had actually thought about signing up the night before anyway so the Q gauntlet was accepted without a fight.

Mosey to the COP parking lot

DQ’s, Helicopters, Jasersizes, Cherry Pickers, Merkins, Sugar Sticks and American Hammers

Mosey to the first corner for an easy four corner starter

Corner 1 – (10) WWIIs, Corner 2 – (20) Jump Squats, Corner 3 – (30) SSHs, Corner 4 – (40) Monkey Humpers

Mosey to the gate bar, Bear Crawl under the gate all the way to the first light, Lung to the next light

Mosey to the basketball court, Burpeesides or Burpee Suicides. Start with 2 at first line increase by 2 at each line once you get to the end line at 8 start decreasing number at each line by 2 do not repeat the 8 at the end line.

Lets see if we can get lost Mosey into the dark of the park on the trail to find the parks workout equipment. Found the monkey bars, modified partner up / triple check with 7 people. 4 partners doing dips the timer is 3 people doing 5 pull ups switch (X3). This could work with small groups but needs to be modified.

Mosey out of the woods back to the basketball court

Tobit thought we where going to get through a Doozy Q without Man Killers but it isn’t going to happen.

Mosey out to the parking lot for 6 parking lot merkins. Bear crawl to each line and increase the merkins by 1 at each line for a total of 6 at the end. Crab walk and LBC’s in the opposite direction.

Mosey back to the basketball court for jump squat suicides

Mosey to the flag for a Merkin Mary, each person doing 5 of their favorite Merkins

Numbers/Names YHC took us out at a socially acceptable distance

NMS: It was agreed that none of us had seen the Q sheet for No Toll left blank before. YHC almost signed up for it the night before so when Tobit said “first one to the AO has to take the Q” YHC gladly accepted the challenge. YHC has been thinking about how to use the workout equipment all along the path for a while so why not give it an unplanned try. Probably will work better during the days to come with full light at this time of the morning.

Prayers for all those in the Medical Community, Law Enforcement, Emergency response and all related fields. Lots of small businesses hurting right now which hurts lots more individuals. Prayers for all that are and will be affected by these times.

16 Irish looking hooligans broke through the dark of No Toll with Olivander coming in hot as he usually does. They where looking for a treasure that was said to be hidden somewhere in the four leaf clover filled fields at this amazing AO. Here is basically how things went.

COP

Mosey to the basketball court for DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, LBC’s and Sugar Sticks

Mosey to the first field on the left and get to know the Irish prostitute

First corner 10 WWII, second corner 20 American Hammers, third corner 30 jump squats and forth corner 40 squats

Pick up the 6 and mosey to the pavilion

Let the hunt begin

YHC broke the PAX into three groups and had made arrangements with Gumbo and Rosie to lead two of the groups. Rosie texted YHC this morning that he had been up all night and not feeling well so Bullseye stepped up to take a team. YHC gave each leader a map and instructed the PAX teams to head to a corner for their instructions. Three teams four corners leaves one corner with a built in penalty. If your team had to ask for the team leader to look at the map it would cost the team 10 burpees. YHC’s team chose the wrong corner to start and had 5 penalty burpees after that they had to go to the open corner to get the right instructions. Each card had instructions to the next corner and a list of 3 sets of 10 each different exercises. third set of instructions lead to the treasure which was hidden in the little library box by the playground. Bullseyes team was the overall winner and found Doozy’s most valuable treasure, his Bible. Once the entire PAX met up Marmaduke attempted to read Matthew 13:44 but was confused by YHC’s study Bible and read the notes for 13:14. YHC helped out by reading it to the PAX “The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again , and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

NMS:

YHC wanted to have fun on St Patty’s day but also felt lead by the Spirit to hide his most valuable possession rather than a fake pot of gold or what we had originally thought of asking POG to dress in all green and have him pop out of a box and take off running. YHC can’t fully tell you about his past in this BB but from what he was to who he is, is as far as the East is from the West and its all because of what he found in the pages of his Bible. I beg you if you don’t believe just read it with an open mind, if I am wrong about what I believe it’s of little significance but if I am right as I know I am, its the single most important decision you could ever make. I love everyone of you guys and I pray for nothing but the best for you and your families.

17 PAX (almost 18) posted for a Tuesday morning helping of Gumbo, it was served up with constant motion like this:

First at 0517, Mr. Roper’s 4Runner pulls in next to the SS Gumbo and the window rolls down. Roper has a wry smile on his face and says “I forgot my shoes…well, see ya later Roper.” The morning shoe routine finally bit Roper in the arse. It would have been great to see Roper workout in his crocks, but instead, off he went. Hope the day turns around for you, Mr. Roper!

0524 and only 4 cars in the lot, then the calvary came rolling in, including Ollivander coming in DK-hot and nearly ending Bone Thugs’ day before it got started…disaster averted, all is ok, let’s mosey.

NMS:

Great work today men. No real plan (as you could probably tell). Just wanted to keep things moving the entire time. For future reference – need a longer run to really get some of those Proper Dora sets done. But it worked out. Great partnering with POG on those.

Gorgeous morning for a workout. Way to show up and get better guys. Great to see Bone Thugs posting and pushing it. Can’t wait to see him kill that 5K. Also, great seeing guys becoming new regulars like Snuff and Rosetta. EH and bring guys out as the weather gets better and before the heat shows up.

Thanks for letting me lead. Hope that had enough spice for you Boberry!

Sorry guys, I thought I would have more time this morning to get the BB out. I’ve been wanting to Q No Toll for some time now and when my opportunity finally comes up all the ideas I had seem to go out the window. I am always happy to bring the man killers and my new favorite parking lot Merkins.
