7 plus 7 equals 14. Our theme for the day. It went like this:

Warm O Rama with the usual.

Long way mosey to stage

Repeat-O!

Mosey to benches up there

• 7 left leg ups
• 14 alternate legs  step ups

Repeat-O!

Mosey to the parking deck

7-7-14 Cardio

• 7 burpees
• Run length 
• 7 burpees

Repeat-O!

Down to the Coal Pit:

Repat-O!

Now, repeat the whole circuit with just one set per stop.

When we got back to the parking deck (already a crowd pleaser for more burpees), two young bucks were doing…something with their Honda Fit down at the end. As I heard Toot say, “Whatever, we’ll go around them”.  As we got to the end, we realized they were trying to get a skateboard out from under the front tire. First thought they were dealing with a tire–no, not a tire. We didn’t think to ask; Rubber Ducky just piped up with, “You guys want us to just lift the car for you?”. I think they thought we were kidding. We were not. Short work of it, skateboard removed. With a quick “You guys should come to F3!” we ran off to do the 14 squats and head on our way.

I’m a pretty creative guy, Guilford College was good enough to give me As in the two creative writing classes I took, but I really have no idea what could have led to this scenario. Theories welcomed. 

Back to start for some extended Mary. Honestly, I loved that my shouting of the exercises could barely be heard over the conversations going on. That is really what it’s all about.

And done.

No prayers lifted, other than to note that 7/7 is Bloodsports birthday, and today he turns 14, hence our theme. House Wobegon enjoyed some post-workout doughnuts, and he is already back asleep.

Not to get all sappy, but bringing the 2.0 out occasionally and letting him get to know you guys has been nothing short of transformational. He is better off having other examples of men’s personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and examples to see. Thanks for being who you are.

Posthole, the keys are under the front tire of a Mini Cooper outside F45; you guys will have to get them next week.
