It was a balmy January morning for the year’s first Parliament. YHC didn’t sleep well and decided for a Mash Mile prerun and upon return saw the makings of good attendance. Others rolled in and with the help of Workbench’s watch we started on time. YHC mumbled through some sort of intro, mission and core principles, flubbed the 20/23 count for the first two warmarama exercises but after that cadence and directions were flawless.
We covered the basics in warmarama and then moved dynamically to the wall. Some thought this was running. YHC convinced the pax they could butt kick or carioca as slowly as they wished.
Upon arriving at the wall, we began with wall sit and each pax counted off Jack Reachers in order until we went down the line. Next to the curb for fast feet. Back to the wall for rebound drills. Round two of fast feet. Back to the wall for BTTW and recite the pledge of allegiance before recovery. Round three of fast feet. On the curb for Wheel O Merkins. 8 IC each direction. Maybe there was one more round of fast feet then we dynamically moved to benches with Apollo Creeds and swivel hips.
4 layer dip (allowing time for other stuff but probably could have got to 7) at the benches. We worked in step ups each leg and lunges each leg.
Mosey to blocks for curls, OH press, Bent Over Rows, on 6 for bench presses, gas pumps with blocks up, bench again, low flutter with blocks up. Back on our feet for big finish with bus drivers and wonderbras.
Since YHC had forgotten zig zag bunny hops at the well lit curb we worked those in on the uneven and poorly lit curb heading back to launch.
Time check from Workbench gives us enough time for Sumo Drill. #crowdpleaser
Mary with pax contributions.
Workbench says we’re done before all could call something.

Good to see Rubber Ducky out after his multiple attempts to HC the night before #noburpeepenalty
Boomerang and Sour Mash carried on their own conversation about Wake basketball – no one else listened
Turnover left quickly after the run with Huck. Huck had to stay for his carpooling partner Workbench. He reluctantly joined for Sumo Drill but got his revenge with 10 count merkins on his Mary turn.
Sour Mash is still undefeated in Sumo Drill tho YHC may have earned a draw in our second round.
Hansel, always an overachiever, called two exercises for Mary

Look for announcements re Gas Groups and Greenest to get more out of F3 than a workout in the gloom
COT
No special prayer requests but YHC brought up the Bills player from MNF and how life can change in an instant. Good reminder for all pax to get emergency contacts updated. YHC took us out and finished with a phrase and response I learned posting once in Greenville, SC. There will come a day when I am not able to be out here … pax response … but today is not that day.
