Great time leading you guys this morning! Trout, go out and watch a movie — you will enjoy it! Peace y’all!

A beautiful fall morning brought out 4 Davillians ready to kick start their day. Here’s what went down. Mosey to blacktop with a lap around to COP.

COP: SSH, LBC’s, DQ, Zombie Russian soldiers (Q mistake/invention named by Mr. Holland), mosey to middle of school for Workout Deck fun. Exercises were as follows: 3 sets, 20 reps, of merkins, flutter kicks and monkey humpers; 4 sets, 10 reps, of squats, SSH, and high knees; 3 sets, 10 reps, of American Hammers, plank jacks, and merkins, with a backwards run to other side of courtyard and back in between sets; 5 sets, 5 reps, of low, slow squats, shoulder taps, freddie mercurys, and 10 second plank; and last, 3 sets, 10 reps, derkins, calf raises and hand clap merkins.

Mosey to flag, 10 merkins, numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

YHC’s work and home life has been a lot busier of late, so didn’t have time to compose a workout–no problem, I have the wonderful Workout Deck! The cards can be great, but a Q should still have more of a plan than YHC had (none) and gloves, cold weather and slick cards make choosing and figuring out things a lot more time consuming. Tclaps to Mr. Holland for consistently choosing Aces, YHC does not want to play poker with him; to Opus for knowing all the random songs we talked about, along with the right time for a good polka; and Mudface for NOT listening when YHC called out the exercises, leading to multiple repetions of what is next. To be fair to Mudface, the total lack of a plan was confusing at times. Even with that, a good time was had by all, with mumblechatter about whether a Sharpie can mark a ballot (consensus was yes), 80’s bands (Eurythmics, anyone), and other stuff YHC can’t remember 24 hours later. For the Merkins challenge, total count was 160. Thanks for letting me lead.

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing..

The warmup run was a gift to Mudface from YHC. Your welcome, haha

YHC has been looking for a reason to use his WOD Timer since downloading it for the IPC. After seeking there was a Tabata time on the app. A plan was set and do except to see this again!

NMS — YHC loves a good themed workout. Watching Yardsale prance around was priceless. Always a good time at the creek with meaningful deep conversations 😉

Peace

3 men showed up to ‘run’ around and workout on a rainy Friday morning.

The Thang

Slowsey to blacktop for COP, SSH, helicopters, DQ, LBC’s, Imperial walkers. Slowsey to parking lot for 4 corners. YHC stole this version from Gypsy. Start in middle of parking lot, 10 SSH, run to first corner of lot, 40 calf raises, return to middle for another 10 SSH, second corner – 40 sumo squats, third corner – 40 toe taps, fourth corner-40 flutter kicks.

Mosey to middle of school, partner up, nobody wanted to be Mudface’s partner so he went solo. Switch off between teams, first team lunges while second team completes exercise then runs to catch first team, switch off until both teams complete all exercises. These were 20 each of American hammers, LBC’s, merkins, boxcutters, and Superman.

Slowsey to flag, do an exercise then run to and from where buses were parked, next exercise. These were 20 each of Alabama prom dates, shoulder taps, split jacks and Bobbie Hurleys.

Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

Much of the Daville PAX is competing in the Colonial 70 run tomorrow, so many of The Creeks usual suspects were resting up, and those in attendance enjoyed the slower paced workout. Mudface introduced a different, harder version of flutter kicks and named them, but YHC is hesitant to put that name on a backblast. Just ask Mudface. Was great to catch up with these two, and all stuck around for 20 minutes discussing our wish that people on different sides of the political spectrum would more often engage in civil discussion of issues, instead of insulting each other. That being said, Yardsale’s version of Alabama prom dates is still pretty disturbing, but YHC said this to him in a civil manner! Kidding aside, was great to have exactly that kind of discussion, would be interesting to do at a 2nd F gathering.

Thanks for letting me lead, as usual I have No Idea what I’m doing…

While waiting for everyone to gather for the morning beatdown Yardsale came flying in on two wheels and proceeded to BACK into a parking space which put Opus’s blood pressure through the roof. He’s got some strong feelings about back in parking and was so fired up he started the hot patato with the COP which I dont remember any of the exercises. He then went into a triple check of donkey kicks, lunges, and something else but cant remember, maybe heals to heaven? He then passed it to mr. Holland who had use job over to the parking lot and do suicides on the parking lot stripes, 1st station we did merkins (10), 2nd we did american hammers (20), and the 3rd burpes (25), did this 3 times and increased reps.. then it was passed to Yardsale, who tolds us to partner up and did a combination of balls to the wall and touch 6 trees, however, the most disturbing part of his explanation was this ass backing shaking movement that would probably be banned on Netflix which should tell you how disturbing it was to witness. Then mudface ran the fastest I have ever seen this man run back to the play ground, again triple checked with fat boy pull ups, regular boy pull ups and run and touch the school was the 3rd. Did that 2 times and time ran out. Ran back to the parking lot, numbered around, announcements, and Opus let us out… great time this morning fellas..learned a lot…Trout
