01\/12\/2019. Impossible Situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pax: 5DollarFootLong, Mutton, CherryPie, LambChop (WB), FNG Rosemary (WD), Goofy (Q)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
0600 YHC woke up feeling rested, checked Twitter for workout updates and ran across @Hoptoberfest\u2019s Twitter call for a substitute Q for IS. Thought about passing once, then twice, then took the plunge. (Take care of #TheGuyNextToYou). Hoping all is well with he and his family. Plus, the SiteQ is on a tropical island in the Pacific with his M…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got up, dressed, cut the top off of an Amazon box and wrote out the Magnificent7 workout on it. Found my Spotify cowboy playlist from my last #M7 beatdown. Impossible Situation now had a Q, a workout, and tunes. It was 0630<\/p>\n\n\n\n
0647 arrived at the beloved Mothership workout. Hid the cardboard and speaker behind a bush at the track so as not to scare the pax away when they arrived. Ran back to greet the Pax, who were surprised to see @Goofy Q and no frisbee and no home made brew. Early arrivals included @LambChop and his FNG father-in-law, Phil. No sign of @Lysol who at #LunchBunch had encouraged me to post to #IS with him. Oh, well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
0700 run to the Track. Showed our FNG where the hospital was, but from the looks of him, it was clear that he was fit and a trip to the ER was not in his immediate future. Given it was @LambChop\u2019s F-I-L, we had him sign the official waiver anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
0702. Typical warm-o-Rama, complete with advice to our FNG to not do SSH the way that the Q was getting ready to do them. (Wise counsel)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
0707 Pulled out the hidden cardboard. @CherryPie immediately started complaining. @5$FL said, \u201chey do you keep that back here all the time\u201d. @CP replied, \u201cNo, he has a lot of cardboard with him at all times.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a brief explanation, we were off. M7 is simple. Do the below exercises (OYO), then run around the track. Repeat 7 times. Usually the run is the 7th exercise, but since we had a full hour, YHC decided to the pax would like the additional ab work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7 pull-ups<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14 burpees<\/p>\n\n\n\n
21 merkins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28 LBC<\/p>\n\n\n\n
35 Squats<\/p>\n\n\n\n
42 Air claps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
49 low flutter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run around the track<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pax kept @CP in our sights for the first few rounds, then we lost him, and then around 6, he lapped us. This strong group of men finished 7 loops. Everyone did one more run together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
0754 @Mutton having done the math in his head, realized that with 2 more burpees, we would have completed 100. So we did 2 more burpees. Everyone felt more aligned with the universe having reached that even number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
0755Time for some Mary called by @Goofy, @5$FL, @CP, and @Mutton<\/p>\n\n\n\n
0800 COT Time to name our FNG. Phil grew up in upstate NY, lives in Carpex, tech wiz and super fit. This is either all true or @LC did a fine job sucking up to his FIL. Based on the way he went through the workout, I am betting its all true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After some debate, it was decided that we must keep the family nickname theme that threads through this tribe. Names include @Mutton, @LambChop, @SheepDip…you get it. Glaze was a strong suggestion, but we have a Glazer. @CP said @Rosemary, it got some laughs and stuck. Welcome! Our FNG was reminded that there are some great F3 workouts in the @Carpex area and that we had heard they were nice guys too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
0807 went through Announcement\/Prayer Concerns. Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones, including @Burlap who lost his father last week. @LambChop\u2019s wife has a \u201csmall procedure\u201d next week and prayers that it goes well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
0812 Donzo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, great AO, great group of guys. Everyone just got after it with no complaints, except @CP and I think he complains just to make us feel better as he smiles and laps us all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
@Hoptoberfest, let us know if you need anything else.
