Finally – a BB for #Purgatory

Finally – a BB for #Purgatory

PAX: Drama Queen, Green Acres, Boomerang, Singing Cowboy, Sourmash, Undertow, Hazer, Tweety Bird, Root Canal, Deductible, Balco, THE Pony Express, Airbud, Butter (aka TD), Starfish (also aka TD), Hoptoberfest, Zuckerberg, Katniss, Touch Me Not, Toto, Total Recall, BAM, Lysol, Spamalot, Burlap, Bluto, Cobra (Q)

We’ve all heard the saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I beg to differ, however, as I subscribe to the saying, “You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. But the old dog needs to be willing to learn.” And so with some proverbial stirring of the pot (t-claps @Lysol), and an old dog finally willing to learn, here is your official backblast from Saturday’s fun at #Purgatory:

We warmed up with the obligatory, but much needed SSHs, IWs, Mountain Climbers, Copperhead Merkins, Squats, and OH Claps.

The THANG then happened as such:

Pool deck for R & L leg step ups, Irkins, Box Jumps (x 2 rounds)

Mosey to parking lot/hill for Mike Tysons/LBCs (x 3 rounds of 10 each); Squats/Low Flutter kicks (x3 rounds of 10 each); Merkins/Plank Jacks (x3 rounds of 10 each).

Mosey to front of school for Rocky Balboa’s x 20 in cadence

Mosey to rock pile behind school for Curls, OH Presses, Bent Over Rows (x 2 rounds of 15 and 5 reps, respectively)

Take your rock to the soccer field for rock throwing 15 yds and back; bear crawl 15 yds and back; rock throwing 15 yds and back; run length of field and back (it was a long ways).

Take rocks back to rock pile, then mosey back to parking lot for…

MARY – Heals to Heaven, Mutton Crunch, Low Flutter Kicks.

Announcements/Prayer requests: Prayers for Airbud’s M’s uncle, and his sister-in-law, as well as for the family of a neighbor who recently committed suicide. Prayers for the government employees who are currently furloughed either sitting at home with no paycheck, or those still reporting to work and also not getting paid. Get with BAM and/or Zuck per volunteering at overflow shelters for the homeless during the winter months.

NMM:

• Lots and lots and lots and lots….of good old fashioned #mumblechatter. The Q almost forgot how to handle it; thus, making death threats at the likes of the #MCKing himself, @BAM. But good news: @BAM is still alive as this BB is being typed.
• @Butter and @Starfish were in rare form, as well. They mentioned an “old friend” of mine (who will remain nameless in this BB) and how similar the two of us were. The sting of those comments is still there…
• @Toto decided not to heed the Q’s request to pick a rock of good size; therefore, was left to bowl his hand-sized rock vs. the two-handed heaving. In all honesty, it was fun to witness.
• It was a lot of fun seeing some “Old Heads” out there. Conversely, t-claps to @Tweetybird for making his second post to F3WinstonSalem. Keep posting- the jokes and overall #MC will make more sense as you do.
• T-claps to @TR. The dude has been hitting me up for about 5 months to get out there and Q #Purgatory. Squeaky wheel gets the oil, right?

Enjoyed it, fellas. This thing is so much more than a workout (for me, anyway).
