10 Pax posted for a cardboard workout YHC calls #Plan9FromOuterSpace – a movie so horrible, its actually good.  Sorta like this workout.  Watch the move trailer here:  https://youtu.be/zw81urzR_9Q

After a brief warm-o-Rama in typical Goofy fashion, we did the following.  Do the below exercises, then repeat, but drop off the exercise on the back each time.  So first round do all, second round drop Jack Reachers, third round drop LBCs, and so on. The run was from one of the parking lot to the other.  The concept is that you are always dropping off the less challenging exercises so it gets harder as you go. 

• 9 Burpees
• 18 SSH
• 27 Merkins
• 36 Low Flutter
• 45 Plank Jacks
• 54 Squats
• 63 LBC
• 72 Jack reachers
• Run to point and back

Mary – round robin of the usual kind

COT:  YHC took us out lifting up prayer concerns below and thankful for the friendships around the circle that help me be a better man.  

NMM

• Tclaps to @Lysol who earned his #RespectCard on Monday by surviving another year on the planet!   Thanks for letting us celebrate with you this morning!  @VanPelt welcomed him to the land of Colonoscopies and Geratol! 
• Also respect for @VanPelt for completing the Chicago marathon this weekend. Impressive that he posted this morning as well!  
• This workout originated last October when I was looking for something Halloween themed workout.  YHC liked it so much, this was its third appearance.  
• When YHC arrived, i pulled out the cardboard for all to see.  No surprises today.  There was some groans about abandoning this workout for #Redline, but fortunately everyone stayed
• In previous two attempts at this, there was always a group of Pax who didn’t complete all 9 rounds. This hardy group did it with some having time to start again (albeit there was some refusnick over including Burpees in the extra credit rounds!)
• The loudest MC was that YHC had forgotten his speaker and there was an  odd silence in a @Goofy cardboard workout as we completed the first round.  YHC finally hooked up the Bluetooth to the car and got it going.  @Palin complained that I was napping in my car (not quite, but YHC does owe you one run that I missed)

Announcements 

• Obstacle course opportunities abound.  Watch twitter and/or ask Palin and Zima, among others
• Q is needed for IS this Saturday 
• @Lysol has the Q at Purgatory
• Prayers for many friends and family that are suffering from illness, including cancer and those about to start treatments.  
• Also calls from many pax who have friends, co-workers and family who are struggling with addiction.
