QIC: Boomerang

Date: 12/8/2020

PAX: Schneider, Burns (WB), Wobegon, Huckleberry, Pony Express, Ziggy, Organ Grinder, Starfish, Boomerang (QIC and WD)

It was a cold morning, one of those 5 core principles that F3 lives by-workout held rain, snow, cold, etc. With this date being the last day YHC would be 58 it presented the perfect time to see what could be done with a 5 and an 8. So after the statement of F3’s mission and the 5 core principles  and some comments of residual pain and the continued contesting of merkin number count from Burns’ VI workout the day before 9 PAX began the workout.

Warmarama:

5 Exercises, 8 reps IC

SSH, IST, Forward Arm Swirlies, OH Clap and Whirlies

As Parliament is a non running workout and to insure no one did run, the PAX made their way to the wall 5 lunges at a time, pausing after each 5 lunges to do 8 squats (crowd pleaser).

Announcements:

GreeNest and Up Off the Floor-opportunities to serve-Saturdays. XL Twin sheets needed for beds.

Huckleberry has Q on 12/12 and will be collecting XL twin sheets as will Starfish at Purgatory on Saturdays.

YHC took us out.

Things learned today at Parliament-

The wall is a long way from the parking lot, when you lunge walk.

YHC forgets things when he Q’s-thanks for the help Starfish.

Blockees and Burpees are related.

Blocks do get cold at night.

Thanks to the PAX who came out today and continue to encourage each other in our workouts and daily walk. Ziggy the keys are beside the one heated block that I was fortunate enough to have this morning, don’t tell Huckleberry.
