Do you remember your first Q? YHC does. At first, YHC (ok, I got to stop writing YHC for this post) declined Toto\u2019s \u00a0and others request to do it, out of fear of not being prepared or knowing what to do. But then I ran out of excuses and stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n
@F3WinstonSalem has changed a lot since I first started. When backblast ARE posted (more on that later), I read about what you think is \u201cmumble chatter\u201d. Man you have no idea what kind of mumble chatter we use to have. And yes, @Mongoose was the king of it.<\/p>\n
So when I Q\u2019ed for the first time, my single goal was to isolate @mongoose and his #MummbleChatter.\u00a0I started the PAX off in a mosey and didn\u2019t stop moseying. I was just waiting for anyone to complain, I mean anyone. Guess who piped up first (within .25 miles)? Bingo – Mongoose. \u00a0\u201cUh, this is not suppose to be a running workout. \u00a0OGs was yesterday.\u201d Bonus points for being cute and clever, Mongoose.<\/p>\n
I immediately had the PAX drop into a plank. We were in the middle of the track at Hanes. I told the PAX to hold the plank while Mongoose ran a lap. If he made it back in 1 min 30 sec, \u00a0we would continue our regularly scheduled routine. If he didn\u2019t, we would hold the plank until he could. Guess what? He made it back with 5 sec to spare. Guess what else? He didn\u2019t pipe up again the rest of the workout and rarely ever directly at me on my Qs going forward.<\/p>\n
The point is, I remember the time and thought I put into my first Q. I read as many #BBs as I could (and still do) to get ideas on what to do during my Q. What seemed to work and what didn\u2019t. I was so excited I could barely sleep the night before.<\/p>\n
My Q at #DawgPound this week was no different. I was a little nervous and jittery because I hadn\u2019t Q\u2019ed in a long time.\u00a0I went to read the previous #bbs at #Dawgpound to see what was fresh and new. However, there were only 4-5 #BB\u2019s for like the last 3 months. When I checked other AOs it was similar in some and a little better in others.<\/p>\n
Men, come on. If you are going to go through all the effort to Q – FINISH THE JOB! \u00a0Post the #BB. Everyone that posted at your Q wants to read what an amazing job you did putting it together. Maybe a little part of them even wants recognition for posting (not me – I have just heard that from others).<\/p>\n
#DashStrong PAX looking to Q at the AO you just Q\u2019ed want to know what awesome things they can do to get Mongoose to shut his trap. \u00a0Be like Nike – Just do it. \u00a0You brought something different to your Q just by showing up and leading. \u00a0Give others the courage and creative license to do the same by spending 10\u201315 mins to write it up in a #BB (ok, I may have gone over that myself in this #BB).<\/p>\n
To bring it back, last night I was just as excited as my first Q. \u00a0I woke-up every hour thinking I had overslept. It truly felt like the first time!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Thang:<\/p>\n
Mosey from parking lot through #TotalRecall\u2019s neighborhood. Take a left on the horse trail and follow it all the way to stables ~1 mi. \u00a0And absolutely no one said anything (we would have stopped sooner if anyone had spoken up, but alas true #Mc is a lost art form) .<\/p>\n
Plank for six<\/p>\n
10 burpees when six arrives<\/p>\n
20 SSH<\/p>\n
10 merkins<\/p>\n
20 IST<\/p>\n
Mosey to exit road of bed and breakfast<\/p>\n
Jacob\u2019s Ladder to fountain – 7 rounds with Diamond merkins at the bottom and Wide-arm derkins at the top at fountain.<\/p>\n
Mosey to trail behind B&B to large Oak tree at the top of an open meadow.<\/p>\n
Jacob\u2019s Ladder to bottom of meadow -5 rounds with jump-Squat-lunges (Mary Katherine\u2019s?) at the top, 4-count copperhead jump squats at the bottom.<\/p>\n
Mosey to dam and then \u201cup\u201d to road and back home.<\/p>\n
Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy<\/p>\n
4.9 miles with a warm-o-Rama, and two simple pain stations.<\/p>\n
All PAX \u00a0completed all reps (to Qs knowledge) and made it back to launch within 2 min post wrap up time. Great work by all!<\/p>\n
It was a pleasure to be with you. It definitely made YHC proud to be #DashStrong<\/p>\n
Announcements:<\/p>\n
#DramaQueen stated #Schmedfest has been postponed until #Plunger posts again.<\/p>\n
COT:<\/p>\n
YHC took us out<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
#MummbleChatter:<\/p>\n
Saddly none until we returned to parking lot.<\/p>\n
