60 minutes of Suck at Purgatory

60 minutes of Suck at Purgatory

QIC: Hoptoberfest

Date: 03/23/19

PAX: Hoptoberfest, Offsides, Spam-a-lot, Undertow, Rust Bucket, Proehl (WB), Benjamin Button, Green Acres (showed up just to do Mary, HIM)(WD), Light Brigade, Bulldog, Plunger

11 showed up for a D-Day Q, but were still more than happy to see that it was a Hoptoberfest substi-Q.  Much joy was shared throughout the workout and very little complaining occurred.  In the end, stronger and more uplifted, the PAX rejoiced at the glorious, and not at all disjointed beat down that they endured.  Ok, now that we have begun to set the stage for the cheerful morning of the first 2 F’s, let us move forward into the happenings of the morning.

Then we tried to do Mario Jumps (like the video game).  I probably don’t need to tell anyone that that was epically bad on all accounts.  I vow to never try that again.

After that debacle, we mosey’d to the track for some nonsense.

The Thang

So I had a weinke.  I left it at home.  Memory is the first thing to go, and all that.  I had a pretty easy to remember plan, yet I still couldn’t remember.  It went a bit like this:

1st lap, start at one corner, 5 burpees, run to next corner, 10 merkins, run to the corner after the bend around the tennis courts, 15 squat jumps, run to the next corner, 20 lbc’s, run to the last corner, 25 plank jacks.  Easy right, sure, then we did another lap and doubled all the above exercises, and then one more time where we did original number x 3.  I don’t think the PAX was paying too much attention to my admittedly poor instructions, because quite a few apparently cheated, or did too many, I don’t remember.  Age, amiright?

After that fun, we headed to our favorite rock pile and PAX were instructed to pick a rock that they would be comfortable with, but one that wouldn’t make them feel like they were cheating themselves.  Not all PAX took that advice, mostly taking too much.  Anyway, Proehl didn’t bring gloves, so I think this part particularly sucked for him.

MC:I didn’t hear much MC this morning other than mocking me for my terrible attempt at a new exercise, and inability to remember 5 exercises.

COT: Schmedfest is a long way away, so prepare now.  My recording software failed me this morning, so I apologize that I don’t remember who the prayer requests came from, but Prayers for Rob, who lost his mother, I believe a friend of Undertow, and Plunger’s sister? Brooke who is dealing with “post-pregnancy s$%t”.  A call for prayers for people everywhere struggling with addiction and the families of those people as well.  YHC took us out.

Personal Note:  I haven’t been present much recently.  YHC’s been struggling with much in my life right now, new job, buying and selling a house, and just general difficulty that’s really been impacting my motivation.  I appreciate the support I have gotten from the PAX while I work myself through these things.  It’s comforting to know that I can step in and be welcomed, despite the prolonged absence.

Thanks for the keys, Spam
