Q Switcheroo at TIT

QIC: Green Acres

PAX: Frostbite (WB), Ziggy Stardust, Van Gogh, Huckleberry, Crash, Lace, Dr Toot, Turnover, Green Acres (smismo, substi-Q, WD)

Had a beautiful starry morning for TIT this week. Enjoyed my mosey to the AO and VG, Huck, and TO got in some actual running for EC beforehand. I am sure Wobegon was working out somewhere, but apparently missed that he was our Q for this one. 😄. VG suggested Crash as site Q or YHC as WD should be substi-Q, and I think we both said Yes. Then Judge VG said the WD should have “right of first refusal “ (must be a core principle I missed 🤷‍♂️) and away we went!  Warmed up with the usual: SSH, Imp Walkers, Whirlies, AV, Y-flies, Michael Phelps. Then to the asphalt BB court where Huck was sad he left gloves at home. First was Merkin Madness: 10 merkins at end line, bear crawl to midcourt, 9 merkins, bear crawl back, 8 merkins, etc down to 1. Similar work for legs with Lunge Lunacy:  10 squat jumps at midcourt, lunge walk to other end line, 9 squat jumps, lunge back to midcourt, 8 jumps, etc, down to 1.
Then to playground for continuous rounds of 10 pull-ups or chin-ups, 20 merkins, 30 LBC’s. Some Pax had radical idea of running a lap after each round. YHC did not pursue that line of reasoning. We all got in 5-6 rounds and headed to school wall for 1 minute of BTTW (crowdpleaser!) and 1 minute wall sit, then back to start for 8 minutes of Mary, round-robin. Frostbite led lo-flutter, Van Gogh did American Hammer, Ziggy did WWIII sit-ups, Huck gave us 3 slow-tempo merkins, Lace “warmed us up” 😅 with more Michael Phelps before assigning 20 Parker Merkins OYO (crowd-pleaser!), Turnover led hand to opposing knee crunches, Crash did box cutters, and Dr Toot gave us lo-Dollies. All done and on time!  (BB to best of my recollection).
Dr Toot took us out with a beautiful prayer for healing and being more aware of others’ situations and to help us lead by example in all the roles we find ourselves in.
There were a couple of times someone yelled “Wobegon, where are you?!” but mostly there was iron being sharpened and work being done (and lots of huffing and puffing, esp by YHC 😅). Ziggy did remind me that we agreed to never do Merkin Madness again after my previous Q…getting old, memory’s going. If there were any complaints or MC I missed it.
Was a pleasure to lead this impressive group of HIM’s on a beautiful morning.

My F3 friends mean so much to me, and give me more in friendship, laughter, and support than I could ever repay, but I will keep trying. The beautiful thing is that seems to be how we all feel, and that’s amazing and precious. Until next time, gentlemen (and you too, Palin!) 😄

Crash, not sure where the keys ended up in all the commotion…maybe check under Wobegon’s pillow. 🤷‍♂️🤣
