Announcements:
• BBBC launches at 0530 from Hope Moravian Church. There are at least 13 possible routes posted on Twitter.
• YHC has Q at Charlie Foxtrot on Saturday.
• New Outhouse format kicks off February 3rd, with a Monday Murph with $5 Footlong on Q. Location remains Leinbach Park, time remains 0530. First week of each month will be a Murph (using swings for pull-ups); third week will be an Iron Pax-like workout that repeats for three consecutive months. Weeks 2 and 4 are Q’s choice with a heavy encouragement to include kettlebells.
Prayer Requests:
• Schneider and Sour Mash’s great-uncle is in his last days. Pray for him and the family to be comforted by the Lord.
• $5 Footlong’s father has been released from Forsyth but will have additional consultation in early February.
YHC took us out with a prayer to the Lord.
NMM:
-A solid group this morning was not deterred by YHC’s lack of creativity.
-The H.O.G. and YHC joined 60 Minutes on a 2-mile EC run ahead of time in the vicinity of Stadium Drive. 60 Minutes knows the area well but doesn’t know why it’s called “Stadium Drive.”
-Sour Mash cleared the deck with his fog horn. Others contributed as well, silently but violently.
-Many of the pax customized the called exercises with their coupons. Fender and the H.O.G. were the initiators of most of the customizations.
-Fender searched the deck for burpees…and found them.
– Consternation emitted from Schneider when the pax pulled cards from the top of the deck with explicit accusations that YHC had stacked the deck. No such thing had occurred. Nevertheless, pax began mixing up their selection patterns: choosing from the top, the bottom, in between, more than one at a time and selecting their preferred exercise. YHC thinks the efforts were in vain, however, as the selected cards consistently generated expressions of incredulity. Perhaps they should have phoned a friend named Balco for pattern recognition services.
-Good to see Gucci for the second time in a week. Renowned for his warmramas in his own right, he complimented YHC’s newfangled approach, e.g. starting with Abe Vigoda. Or maybe YHC imagined that happened.
-Closing out Mary with ~30 IC mountain climbers was a #crowdpleaser.
-Apparently YHC picked “the real Iron Pax coupon.” That was quickly observed and commented on by the surrounding pax. YHC felt the legitimacy of the block after ~23 seconds of upright rows.
-Thanks for the warm welcome from WeFoCo and also for the H.O.G. making the trip out west with YHC. Schneider, YHC dropped the keys near the place where Sour Mash’s fog horn went off while performing an evacuative barrel roll. You might want to wait a few days before retrieving.
