Time to live the HighLife!\u00a0 First thought was to do the weightlifting, but giving it some thought I wanted to again bring something new to the premier afternoon Dash-Strong AO.\u00a0 I doubt that any other group of men have performed a circle of yoga at Miller Park before, so we’ll get to that after we torture ourselves for a bit.\u00a0 I had 3 (!) dropouts with just a few hours to go before my Q, you sorry dogs (well, one did so because he performed Iron Pax that morning, so certainly excused).\u00a0 The others, I’m guessing, were rain-sissies.\u00a0 At least that’s my story.<\/p>\n
I get there with 5 minutes to go and no one is there.\u00a0 Will Rudolph just run around a field for 45?\u00a0 What a nightmare that would be.\u00a0 Luckily, Blue Steel pulls in.\u00a0 At the same time a sweaty Snow Globe introduces himself, he had run over from home and was hunting F3 (LESSON THERE – I had my F3 shirt on, this was his second time visiting an F3 exercise, there’s no way he would have known unless I had the shirt on…shirts and SHOVEL FLAGS need more representation!).\u00a0 Anyways, UGA comes pulling in and we have another foursome like last week.\u00a0 Since I knew rain was likely I planned on two parts, but we should warm-up:<\/p>\n
SSH, Arm Circles, Chain breakers, Swimmers, Whirly with a clap, Quickmills, Lunge with a twist.\u00a0 Let’s walk up to the picnic shelter while I explain.\u00a0 I played the theme to the Olympics as we walked up the hill and said welcome to the TABLE OLYMPICS!\u00a0 I designed this to work in case it was raining, but luckily it was just a muddy mess so far.\u00a0 We had to progress through the 3 podiums:\u00a0 Bronze, Silver, then Gold.\u00a0 We performed each exercise directly after the next, with 10 seconds rest between the podiums.\u00a0 Each podium got a bit harder, this was deceptively sucky:<\/p>\n
BRONZE:<\/p>\n
SILVER:<\/p>\n
GOLD:<\/p>\n
Congrats, you accomplished an amazing feat and now it’s time to cool down.\u00a0 After a slight bit of meandering I decided to take us back to the parking lot to do the yoga.\u00a0 Earlier in the week I posted a picture of Dhalsim in the preblast, the truth is my wife introduced me to yoga a long time ago and I love it, especially as a cool down.\u00a0 I took us through a basic 10 minute routine, good to stretch and chill.\u00a0 The rain started just as soon as we got going, and I thought to be cute by putting the old Street Fighter II Dhalsim music on, but it quickly rolled to a pretty hard core gangsta rap track that I had to Omaha off of.\u00a0 We did one set of LBC’s, TIME.<\/p>\n
Great work, not much chatter during the Silver and Gold phases \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
ANNOUNCEMENTS – see the general page for info on a great event from Subfloor, which is a community event to support the 26th Annual Buddy Walk on 10.12.24, helps to support the Downs Syndrome Association of Greater W-S.<\/p>\n
PRAYERS – Influencer, Blue Steel, UGA family, all Pax, safe travel for Rudolph (see you jacklegs in two weeks)<\/p>\n
MOLESKIN – you ever have those mixed feelings when you are the Q, you arrive and no one is there?\u00a0 It’s equal parts exciting and sad.\u00a0 Exciting in that you can either test your weinke or do something else stress free, but also depressing because you can’t workout with other guys and get #### done.\u00a0 Lucky for me I had 3 others that toed the line.<\/p>\n
Blue Steel – great work, thanks for supporting by calling out every exercise and DOING every exercise.\u00a0 Helped UGA and Snow Globe I’m sure.<\/p>\n
Snow Globe – good to meet you!\u00a0 Thanks for having the uber-balls of jogging over and enjoying.\u00a0 Never call me sir, sir.\u00a0 Top flight effort.<\/p>\n
UGA – I think he gets it now, fitness is just a by-product of fellowship.\u00a0 Great push!<\/p>\n
It ain’t about how much of a billybadass you are, it’s whether or not you commit to make the effort.\u00a0 Always a pleasure, live the HIGHLIFE!<\/p>\n
