First poor life decision was showing up this morning.\u00a0 Yes Palin, you can still make it to Redline. In fact, please go to Redline and take H.O.G. with you while you\u2019re at it.\u00a0 Before he would start the workout, Burns demanded a HC from the Q for his WIB. I\u2019m not quite sure what would have happened though if he didn\u2019t get that HC.\u00a0 Just another of life\u2019s mysteries that will go unsolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beatdown.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location 1 – FIRST PRESBYTERIAN PARKING LOT<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because sometimes making a poor decision only once can lead to lifelong consequences, we did <\/span>1 IC Whirly with a Clap<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, the PAX poorly chose to let someone else control what they did.\u00a0 The Q said to do <\/span>20 Burpees <\/b>(mumble chatter began), so they did (mumble chatter ended).\u00a0 The Q said to <\/span>run to the end of the parking lot and back<\/b>, then perform <\/span>Mountain Climbers<\/b> for the six.\u00a0 That\u2019s what the PAX did.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s a really bad idea?\u00a0 Doing that again. <\/span>Burpees<\/b>, <\/span>Run<\/b>, <\/span>Mountain Climbers<\/b>.\u00a0 Why would you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some people spend their lives experiencing all the world has to offer, sailing the seven seas, trekking to far off lands, and immersing themselves in exotic cultures.\u00a0 Others may stay in one spot their entire life, planting deep roots by digging into a homestead, and making a lasting impact on a local community. And sometimes there are the ones who are stuck in between with no ambition, risk averse, fear of the unknown, just going through the motions, and therefore only making slight life improvements – in one\u2019s career for example.\u00a0 We demonstrated these tiny incremental upward adjustments through a series of planks with no rest in between – <\/span>1 minute Elbow Plank<\/b> (supposedly), <\/span>1 minute Low\/6\u201d Plank<\/b> (sort of), and <\/span>1 minute Regular\/High Plank<\/b> (the Q obviously wasn\u2019t clear that laying on the ground was not an option).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location 2 – WINSTON SQUARE PARK<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The PAX seemed as though they wanted to vacate the friendly confines of the First Pres parking lot, so we headed to the always enjoyable Winston Square Park amphitheatre.\u00a0 Once there, we were greeted by a couple of friendly police officers, who, oddly enough, chose to remain at a safe distance. OK, maybe not greeted per se, but definitely stared at hard.\u00a0 They even ignored all of the vulgar language coming from the foul mouths of the PAX who were chasing one, poor, innocent, outnumbered, helpless, meek man. For the next life lesson, we demonstrated the poor decision of having a <\/span>Monkey on Your Back<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 That can really slow your down; figuratively, metaphorically, and quite literally.\u00a0 As we partnered up, the Q was ironically left without a partner (yes, everyone cry for me).\u00a0 The PAX got up on stage (as entertainment for the officers, of course) to \u201cperform\u201d <\/span>25 Monkey Humpers<\/b>.\u00a0 Then P1 <\/span>Carried<\/b> P2 around the bottom ring of the amphitheatre.\u00a0 How that could possibly be confusing, I don\u2019t know, but it was too much to ascertain for some of the mensa candidates.\u00a0 Back to the stage for <\/span>25<\/b> more <\/span>Monkey Humpers<\/b>.\u00a0 P2 <\/span>Carried<\/b> P1.\u00a0 Finish with <\/span>25 Monkey Humpers<\/b>.\u00a0 <\/span>Mountain Climbers<\/b> for the Q\/six.\u00a0 It was fun to see Burns partner with his grandfather, Root Canal, while Palin and $5 Footlong decided to leave damn near 300 lbs of adipose tissue in their wake.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location 3 – HOLLY AVENUE\/SPRUCE STREET PARKING LOT<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fleeing the cops, the PAX escaped out the back entrance and ended up in the parking lot across from the HanesBrands Theater.\u00a0 To really solidify the guys\u2019 poor decision to show up this morning, the Q called for <\/span>5 WMD Burpees<\/b>.\u00a0 Sounds easy, right?\u00a0 Unless your name is Huckleberry or Snooki (both not present), then the answer is a resounding NO.\u00a0 <\/span>Mountain Climbers for the six<\/b>.\u00a0 In possibly the worst \u201clife\u201d decision ever \u2026 ever, the PAX committed to a <\/span>Suicide<\/b>.\u00a0 <\/span>Mountain Climbers for the six<\/b>.\u00a0 Because the Q could no longer breathe on his own at this point, he used sign language to communicate a repeato of the <\/span>Suicide<\/b>.\u00a0 The Q\u2019s goal was to hurt the bystanders of this action and not so much the person doing the action, hoping to escape the pain.\u00a0 Mission completely failed and definitely backfired. Clearly a poor life decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location 4 – TOWN RUN LANE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To waste some time, we slowly meandered through downtown Winston and ended up on Town Run Lane.\u00a0 Because being a burden is never a good thing, we \u201cchose\u201d to work all of those negative tendencies out of our system with the <\/span>Beast of Burden<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 6 exercises, 6 reps each, 6 times through.<\/span><\/p>\n
