Six of us made it to Bingo Beer for the February social, two for the brief workout in the rain beforehand, but all of us for a beverage.

Hmm, its getting colder than we realized as the sun went down. Over to the front of the school for COP. Don Quixotes, Potato Pickers, Helicopters, Ssh, Russian Soldiers.

First Up: Triple Check – Partner 1 runs the perimeter of the front field, partner 2 flutter kicks, and partner 3 performs an elbow plank.

Mosey over to the bus loop for a customized 11s. Exercises were merkins (10 different variety that the Pax cycled through), followed by some fork of locomotion across the loop, 4 count American Hammers, and same form of locomotion back.

Five posted for last week’s Punisher. Met in the usual parking lot at the southeast corner of LHES property facing a stiff, cold breeze from the west. We may need to get a Solo Stove for the AO. Mosey to the side yard for COP with some of the usual warm up items but with Imaginary Jump Ropes after every called set.

Move to the nearby outdoor classroom. Pick a side of a picnic table and complete 10 Incline Merkins followed by 10 Step Ups per leg. Continue, dropping a rep, from nine down to one, pausing in Al Gore between rounds.

Jog to the concrete pad adjacent to the school just east of the outdoor classroom for a Lindsay (always 40 reps) involving Two Count Flutter Kicks and Reverse Crunches.

Mosey to the wet grass at the edge of the playground blacktop for Jack Webb variant, starting with one Pickle Pounder, four Air Presses, four Curls, and eight Arm Circles. Add another Pickle Pounder and maintain the same ratio of the other exercises. Finish with 11:44:44:88.

Jog to the nearby bus loop and complete five Squats with five Side Lunges each way, followed by Invisible Jump Ropes while waiting. Continue, dropping a rep, down to 1.

A few minutes of stretching followed adjacent to the school building – blocking the wind – and finish with a COT.

Eight posted for the second Punisher of 2022 – relocated, by design, to Bingo Beer in Scott’s Addition. A few of us met early to do a few exercises to Yahtzee dice behind the brewery and we caught up for a social thereafter. We discussed doing the same sometime in February. Will let you know.

Three posted for the first Punisher of 2022. Brief mosey across the parking lot and through a couple of inches of snow to the circle in front of Linwood Holton Elementary for our warmup. Relocate to the covered patio nearby for 22 reps of 10 exercises, repeated once – 2022. Next, a few rounds of a medley with a Burpee, a few Donkey Kicks, etc. Finish with a few LBC rounds. COT and YHC took us out.

Three rallied to celebrate the last Punisher of the year. With temperatures steady at 70 and sunny, the PAX eagerly awaited one more guy to make it an even 4. According to Johnsonville, who offered as recently as mid-morning to Q, here’s what happened:

Warm up:
SSHs
IWs
Hillbillies
Swirly’s Dead Man Hang (no cadence, ’cause why would ya?) (YHC also thanks to Hutton for humming cadence)
Stretch to the Sky (YHC feels like Bodo’s should get some credit for this, but could also just ignore the need to name a simple stretch)
LBC’s
HRM’s
Hello Dolly’s
Rosalita’s

Numbers, names, YHC made an announcement to pray for his mother in law which became a prayer. If you know YHC, this is just how it goes.

YHC thanks all of you for your prayers for my mother-in-law and family over the past 2.5 years. We prayed for her this evening at Punisher, and she went home to God shortly after we wrapped up. Great lady. Exceptional mother and grandmother.

YHC thanks Corned Beef for his help with finding home care.

7 Brothers collected this nice cool evening for a Monday workout. Knowing a 42 minute workout was on tap we quickly mosey to side yard circle up for:

COP

We start with 25 SSH, 10 DQ and 20 merkins, ready for the Tabata workout

THANG

YHC had modified the Tabata routine to be 10 reps of 20 seconds work out with 10 second rest (1 rep), continue until 10 reps were completed (or 5 total minutes of the routine).

YHC started the routine selection with merkins where we performed 10 merkins then planked for the remaining time of the 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds then repeat this 9 more times for a total of 5 minutes.

Next was Freddie Mercury, Air squats, SSH, Carolina Dry Docks, flutter kicks, air press, American Hammers, LBC’s and reverse lunges. This took us to 45 minutes Numberama and Namerama. Dial up took us out in prayer.

Moleskin

Announcements – YHC with working with Project Homes to establish some dates for ramp builds. This will be in January and February…details soon!

Lab Rat was the earlybird as he posted at 5:30PM for a 6PM start, glad he was able to secure the Punisher AO!

Have a great rest of the week as it was an honor to lead this workout! Cheers….CB!

We relocated Punisher to Bingo Beer for a brief run – primarily to spot holiday light installations on Monument Avenue – and followed with a little social time. Turns out just a few households (really just one) in the nearby few blocks of Monument went big with lights. Not much to see in the 1K mosey. Point was to have some social time, anyway. Back patio at Bingo is nice with propane-fired fire pits. May head here again. There was a motion to possibly relocate Punisher once a month in the winter season for similar social time. Did I miss anyone in the PAX list? Thanks!
