This made looking for a TRQ theme easy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Thang:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bam, Wobegon, and I met early in the gloom for the famed TRQ Run Club. We saw Green Acres on the way out, who is a faithful member of the TRQRC week after week. More PAX than expected were already back at Speas when we returned, so I quickly grabbed my speaker and Jaws-shaped cardboard (design credits to my 9-year old daughter, who also helped design the preblast) and away we go!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WOR: SSH, AV, IW, MP<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mosey to the flagpole for: dips, L leg step ups, dips, R leg step ups, dips, irkins\/merkins OYO<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mosey to the rockpile. On the way, anytime anyone yelled \u201cShark!\u201d, everyone dropped for 20 mountain climbers. We eventually found a rock and circled up by the lightpole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was a teacher for 15 years. I know how to work a crowd. I know how to give directions to a group of people who are only half (and that\u2019s generous for high school students in a math class) paying attention. I felt like I clearly explained the rules of our game: Instead of \u201cDuck Duck Goose\u201d, we played \u201cShark, Shark, Bruce\u201d (Bruce was the name of the mechanical shark in Jaws). We started strong, but after about the second round, we were doing lunge walks at the wrong time, forgetting to call exercises, and grabbing someone else\u2019s rock. It was comically chaotic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What rhymes with Jaws? Balls (to the wall)! Then we stopped at the playground for 75 (in honor of 1975, the year Jaws came out) merkin\/pullups combination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mosey to the start for Mary and in between each called exercise, we did LBCs. We finished with a Superman\/Banana, then time was called.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Announcements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check Slack for a possible convergence on Monday<\/li>\n<li>Western NC Workday is now the 2nd Saturday<\/li>\n<li>GreenNest is the 1st\/3rd Saturday<\/li>\n<li>Next Thursday is Happy Hour and a Half<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prayers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aging parents and family members<\/li>\n<li>Sourmash and Schneider&#8217;s dad, who had a mild stroke and is recovering in the hospital<\/li>\n<li>Boomerang&#8217;s nephew<\/li>\n<li>WSFCS staff\/students\/administration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Naked Man Moleskin<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don\u2019t post with Lamb Chop much, so I was excited to see him at the circle when we started. However, before I really had a chance to even talk to him, he was gone, as he and Bam both had to leave early. Hope to catch up with you next time!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bam and Wobegon are my TRQRC accountability partners and I\u2019m thankful for their push. Speaking of push, Wobegon kicked it into racing gear at the end and left me and Bam in the dust &#8211; strong work!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DDay took the \u201cShark!\u201d mosey literally. Meaning, at one point 4 people yelled \u201cShark!\u201d at the same time, so DDay did 40 mountain climbers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ziggy &amp; Argyle had lots of comments during the final banana called exercise which are NSFW and cannot be repeated here<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pony Express made the grievous error of selecting Green Acres during Shark, Shark, Bruce, which meant he then had to use GA\u2019s rock. This is why no one else chose GA!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spamalot was visiting from Florida but just found a house near his old one and will be a permanent resident (again) of Winston very soon!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Superfly, Tarzan, and Roundup quietly crushed all parts of the beatdown<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Green Acres, I told my 9-year old that you still have her \u201cencouragement\u201d picture on your fridge when I got home, and she BEAMED with pride<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope last night\u2019 offensive explosion at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium was worth missing Jaws, Boomerang.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for the keys, Green Acres!
