The Cocktail Napkin

QIC: Adobe

Date: 5-9-24

PAX: Offsides, Skyline, Cruiser, 60 Minutes, Schneider, Bruin, Van Gogh, Adobe

Okay, before we get started on this little ditty I need to clarify a couple of things.

  1. I believe it was on the way back from Parliament on Tuesday, Cruiser stated \ asked… “ So, you’ve got Distillery on Thursday. ( ? ) I’m in.” And that certainly came as news to me…lol. I had to verify. YUP, sure enough, I did. #Let’sRoll
  2. The title of this Backblast is not accurate. I didn’t write it down on a cocktail napkin. However, the impromptu nature of the things that were about to unfold would lead one to believe that the beatdown could have originated on a cocktail napkin. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same napkin….errrr… you get it.

 

Warm-O-RAMA:

Everyone must have been excited about the PreBlast! With overnight rain and potentially more coming, along with the threat by the Q to take a mosey \ run through the neighborhood, I was surprised to see so many cars in the parking lot.

Mission Statement….stated.

5 Core Principles……recited.

 

SSH, Windmills ( Lots of groans and evil looks for this one. Only one way to properly follow it up ), Abe Vagoda!, OH Clap, Seal Clap, Moroccan Night Club, and last but not least, Goof Balls.

 

The THANG:

 

As promised, Let the stroll begin.

Started off moseying West down Clemmons Rd.  1st Q Fail happened here. “ I think there’s a sidewalk in front of the church.” NOPE! Let’s just run through the wet grass then.

 

Made it to the corner of Clemmons and Stadium.

  • 20 Merkins OYO

Off again, to the corner of Clemmons and James St.

  • 40 Merkins OYO  ( I think I heard a “ super creative workout here Adobe !” )

Continuing on, North on James St to the first entrance of Clemmons Elementary.

  • 20 Monkey Humpers OYO  ( “ in front of a school Adobe !?” )

Keep running up James St., turn East on Bingham Ave. and halfway down, stop

  • 40 Monkey Humpers OYO

All the way to the end of Bingham Ave.

  • 20 WWII’s

Finally, run back to the Stadium entrance of Distillery.

  • 40 WWII’s

Then run back to the main parking lot…… NEXT!

 

PAX were instructed to get into 2 Teams. ( By teams, I was really going for a 3 man grinder kind of a setup, but what ended up happening worked out just fine. )

  1. Two PAX would run suicides ( increase 2 spaces for each cycle ) and once they reached the line, do 10 Squats.
  2. PAX who stayed behind at the starting line would do Merkins until they were relieved.

We ended up making it all the way to the other end of the parking lot and the Q decided instead of coming all the way back ( subtracting two spaces for each run ), we would pull an Omaha. Off to the shelter so we could stay dry and do some bench work. 😉

 

Last stop included the following:

20 Derkins, 20 Dips, 20 Irkins, 20 Dips, 20 Box Jumps ( or step ups ), 20 Dips.

 

MARY:

 

Decided to stay under the shelter for Mary instead of using the grass. Probably would have been a mutiny otherwise.

Mutton Crunch R & L, Penguin Crunch, Cobra Crunch ( OUCH ), Freddy Mercs, Plank for the final 30 seconds.

TIME.

 

 

COT:

 

Announcements:

  • ROCC 5 K coming up this weekend. Van Gogh is again very graciously offering up the Triple Down challenge. Post at Supermax, Alcatraz and run the 5K, and he will donate $30 to Pivot Ministry for each PAX who completes. Check Slack. Still sign up spots available for the 5K.
  • Mayhem is looking for Q’s.

Prayers:

  • Aging Parents.
  • Prayers for Ziggy and his family.
  • Prayers for anyone who couldn’t post this morning; prayers for injuries.

YHC took us out.

 

NMM:

 

Lot’s of great mumblechatter this morning. Gonna be honest, it was a struggle to remember all the exercises we did so I might not be able to recall all the high points of conversation. ( Again, I didn’t write anything down on a cocktail napkin ).

 

-“The sidewalks in Clemmons are FANTASTIC!”

– “We didn’t do enough WWIIs last month, let’s do more today!”

– “We still haven’t done enough Merkins…”

– Something about Van Goghs homemade waist band light?

– This is a little “WIB-ish”.

 

Always a great time at Distillery.
Thank you gents for the opportunity to lead.

Madoff, I left the keys in the place where I put the accordion, after the Christmas parade  that one time.
