What a GREAT AO! So many options&#8230;.so many terrible things you could do with a workout at this place. Second, you dudes are awesome. Venturing out this morning in a Piedmont &#8221; snow storm &#8220;, risking life and limb, all for the promise of a little comic relief&#8230;and maybe a little WeFoCo style beatdown. Brings a tear to the eye.<\/p>\n<p>And finally&#8230;.Let&#8217;s discuss the title. Okay, so you guys know me. I have said it before and I will say it again, I&#8217;ve got one of those, what they call &#8221; art brains &#8220;. I can&#8217;t remember a routine if my life depended on it. So I always, well most days, show up with weinke in hand. ( It&#8217;s 8.5&#8243; x 11.0&#8221; and laminated. Geesh, tough crowd this morning. Think it&#8217;s time to visit the optometrist boys ). So anyway, I was looking for some cool images to add to the old cheat sheet. What did I find??? The man, the myth, the legend&#8230; Ed O&#8217;Neil, sitting on the throne. That was it. It didn&#8217;t make any sense at all, was totally unrelated to the workout itself; who cares. I give you&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;drum roll&#8221;&#8230;..

Mission Statemnet\u2713 , 5 Core Principles\u2713, Let&#8217;s roll.<\/p>\n<p>SSH, Whirly w. Clap, Abe V., <em>( Just before the Abe Vagodas, CherryPie runs in. Palin makes sure I know and maybe suggests something along the lines of arm swirlies. ) <\/em>I opted for the change-up. Tie Fighters. <em>Pax were confused, so I had to demonstrate. <\/em>We did these, front leaning both left and right leg. Cherrie Pie wasn&#8217;t amused and did the usual Cherry Pie thing. BEAST.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The THANG:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pax were instructed to go grab some blocks. Again, Palin being the gentleman he is, offered to lead us over to the blocks. ( He knew I hadn&#8217;t posted at the Throne&#8230;.well, once. ) He decided to lead the Q and the PAX on a more scenic route to said block pile. We finally got there.<\/p>\n<p>Combination&#8230;got it. Thank you site Q.<\/p>\n<p>I felt the instructions were pretty simple. Come on, it was Monday morning. Can&#8217;t get too crazy.<\/p>\n<p>10 Exercises. Complete 15 reps of each. Once complete, take a lap around the track.<\/p>\n<p>When you get back, add 5 reps to all. Rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n<p>The Q brought his WeFoCo ghetto blaster with an awesome set of woofers and disco lights. Crowd favorite.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Curls, Merkins, Skull Crushers, Diamond Merkins, Overhead Press, Wide Merkins, Chest Press, Ranger Merkins, Lawnmowers, Dive Bombers. RUN.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I believe most everyone got through 3 rounds, minus the last lap. Crushed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No time. We got the blocks back to the pile with less than a minute left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was a little miscommunication here. Since we were completely out of time, I opted to do the COT by the dumpsters. 2 PAX went AWOL. When the arrived back to the new COT spot, there was some protesting. I told them to take it up with the Site Q, but reminded them that I would be back in a month!<\/p>\n<p>Announcements:<\/p>\n<p>Beverly&#8230;Run For HOPE this weekend. Check Slack. Run, Walk, RUCK, donate. Do what you can.<\/p>\n<p>GreeNest this Saturday. 60 Minutes has the Q. Reach out.<\/p>\n<p>Prayers:<\/p>\n<p>Prayers for FrankandBeans kid. Medical diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Prayers for Lamb Chops fraternity brother. Passed away. Prayers for family, wife and 2 kids.<\/p>\n<p>YHC took us out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NMM:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230;.what else can I say. You men. Awesome. Awesome work. Thank you for coming out this morning. You guys breezed through this. STUDS!<\/p>\n<p>It was an honor to come out and lead. Thank you for the opportunity. I do apologize for my poor choice of FONT HEIGHT. I just wanted everyone to stay real close and stay warm this morning. I also wanted to offer ample opportunity for PAX to get in their Merkin count this morning. I think I heard a few &#8220;ouch&#8221; comments throughout. Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>Great mumblechatter. It&#8217;s always great to catch up with some PAX I may not see that often. It&#8217;s also great to meet new PAX.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to SYITG very soon.
