PAX: Drama Queen (WD), Van Gogh (WB), Sour Mash, Schneider, Torque (parked in the wrong lot), Zima (parked in the wrong lot)

YHC loves posting near my childhood home over at TheDistillery. The football fields and onlooking staff from inside the school just make things so exciting! While reminiscing on previous posts, YHC realized that for some reason we always seem to march up and down the field. Why not side to side?! Yes, that seems fun… and why not go over some fun non-running ways of getting from sideline to sideline? That aught to prolong the pain. The plan was coming together, and it went something like this:

Warmup

• Jumping Jacks x 15 IC
• The Windmill x 10 IC
• Marching Imperial Storm Trooper x 25 OYO
• Mosey to Right Sideline on the Football Field
• Arm Swirly Things x 10 F/R IC
• Seal claps x 10 IC
• Overhead claps x 10 IC

• Lunge Walk – R to L on the 10 yard line
• Crab Walk – L to R on the 20 yard line

CoT

• The PAX were exhausted, no prayer requests other than safety over the weekend for YHC and his coworkers running the Tough Mudder in Charlotte.
• Annoucements: the MEGA is coming on 10/28!
• YHC took us out giving thanks, asking for strength and forgiveness, and to give guidance throughout our day.

NMM

• After the beatdown was over, YHC found many texts and a missed call around 0530 from @Torque and @Zima, who parked themselves at the old launch point. Evidently, both thought that YHC had overslept and that no one came because everyone hates my Q’s. So they ran off and did their own thing (5k?) and never found us. I’m glad they had each other though!
• YHC was on the fence about using the football field as originally planned or deferring to the B-ball courts, but an “F it” may have been proclaimed and we suffered a little extra.
• That grass was wet, and Gloves did not help at all against the cold that set in. First numb fingers of the year!
• A football field is 53 1/3 yards (160 ft) wide, we crossed it 11 times, for 1760 feet worth of fun!
• YHC awoke at 3:30 to a crying son, and got him to bed at 5:05… the extra tiredness is what led to Broadjump Burpees being replaced the Frankenstein Walk at midfield. The PAX were thankful to my son.
• It seems no one is a fan of crab walking? Rumor has it that @Prospector straight up refuses to do them…
• @DQ stated the harder reverse motions should be done first so the PAX can do them… however, all present stated every mode was difficult!
• #TClaps to @SourMash who still posts despite having to leave at ~0600 in order to get his kids to school… whereas some might use that an excuse not to post, “30 minutes is better than nothing” as he said is a much better way to look at it!
• @Schneider won the award for posting my favorite Jonah Hill GIF on Twitter yesterday, his prize was PAIN! Which he seemed to easily navigate this morning BTW…
• Merry Mary makes it second consecutive appearance and was even more fun today than yesterday! 150 Merkins, 240 ab reps (w/1-minute plank) in under 9 minutes! Quite contrary indeed…
• When @Fingers approached me a few days ago about being double booked, YHC initially thought he wanted me to sub in on the bass at one of his Gigs… thank goodness he was referring to F3.
• Thanks for the keys, and the Knob Creek(!?) @SourMash! Always a pleasure…
