Special Days @ Conspiracy 3.3.2021

QIC: Burns

Date: 3.3.2021

PAX: cheesesteak, root canal, $5 footlong, basher, lamb chop, spicoli, van gogh, palin, mutton, burns

YHC enjoyed an easy-paced RIRO with Palin from the Cloverdale shopping center, that turned out to be vital to warming up the blood on a chilly morning. When we arrived, $5 was already present and we talked about the general failures of meteorology and how we wish we could be wrong that often at our jobs. It was forecasted to be 38-40 degrees this morning and was much closer to 30 than YHC was hoping for.  While we chatted, seven more pax entered the parking lot to post to this morning’s edition of #conspiracy.

We got warm: SSH x15IC, Abe Vs x6 IC*, Whirlys x15IC, Arm swirlies forward x10IC, Jack Reachers x10IC, Arm swirlies backward x10IC, Michael Phelps x10IC.

*YHC suggested a backwards lean/hip thrust-esque movement in between Abe V stretches and the conversation went downhill pretty quickly.

We moseyed to the track to the far shelter to begin celebrating my boys’ birthday, which was on Monday. Many clever pax determined that we should be only doing 1 rep of each exercise to commemorate their first birthday, but I put those fears to rest by announcing that since they were born in 2020 we’d be doing 20 reps to the tune of:

• N olan Ryans (each side)
• O verhead Claps
• A merican Hammers
• H and release Merkins

Run a lap, reconvene for:

• B urpees
• R eversre Lunges
• O , the big one
• O pposite Knee Touches
• K ing Tuts*
• S quats

Run a lap, then repeato the whole thing since they’re twins. It was predictable.

*There aren’t many exercises in the Exicon that begin with K. After scrolling through some recent backblasts, I noticed this one in Drip’s UA from Friday. It’s like a box cutter, except you outline a pyramid.

Mosey to the base of the Intimidator to celebrate yet another big day – YHC’s third wedding anniversary is today! The idea was to run through 3 sets of 3 exercises, but we only had time for 2. The pax were generous in recognizing that we celebrated the two full years of marriage already completed instead of pretending that it was some bad omen that we weren’t able to get to the third set. The exercises corresponded with our initials, and we did sets of 18:

• L unges
• T uck Jumps
• M erkins

After the second set, we moseyed back to the launch spot and gathered in high plank, all did 6 merkins, then left arm in the air, then right arm in the air, and then 5 merkins to round it out.

YHC was thankful for the push by these HIMs this morning. I feel like a broken record but every time PAX post to a Q of mine I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness for the support and the camaraderie that F3 provides. Really I feel that way each morning, but it’s magnified on mornings I’m scheduled to lead. This group is truly a special part of my life and it was nice to celebrate some big milestones in my world with yall today.

Announcements:

Van Gogh and Wobegon are collaborating on getting an order form together for Alcatraz and SuperMax shirts. One will be “jumpsuit orange.”

Lamb Chop is filling in the Q calendar for the next three months – be on the lookout for an email from him. If you haven’t Qd at Conspiracy in a while and want to get on that list, send him a message

Spicoli mentioned that the county DHS is still looking for volunteers to help with vaccine rollout, and that usually includes a vaccine for you as a “thank you” for helping.

Prayer requests: Basher looking for guidance. Spicoli has two friends in hospice. YHC took us out.

Thanks for the keys, Lamb Chop!
