A Recount in Parliament
QIC: Goofy
Date: 11/3/2020
PAX: DQ, Boomerang, Ziggy, Sourmash, Schneider, Goofy
A magnificent pax of 6 posted for 7 exercises performed in multiples of 7 and did them 7 times. It went like this.
After a brief and predictable warm-o-Rama, we grabbed some blocks and did the following:
7 Burpees
14 Merkins
21 Curls
28 OH Press
35 Squats
42 LBC’s
Run or travel mode of choice to a point about 30 yards and back.
Repeat this 7 times.
We had a few minutes left over and YHC did a failed version of Lt Dan with a combo of squats and lunges.
Next was a round robin version of Mary for a few minutes.
BOM: YHC took us out with the prayers that were mentioned above and to be the men that we are called to be, particularly in this time of division in our country
Prayer Concerns/Announcements
- Vote today! (If not already done so)
- @DQ has BBBC this week
- Prayers for @Schneider and @SourMash’s mother who is undergoing treatment for cancer on the 16th.
- Prayers for @5$Footlong who has been having some health issues
- @DQ mentioned a 3rdF effort he would like for us to consider called “Watchmen of the Streets”. It is a group that hands out blankets and other items to homeless. There is more info out on #Slack and let him know if interested.
NMM
- There is not a little bit of irony in that YHC initially posted to twitter that there were pax of 7 that posted this AM to an AO that was an election site on Election Day and later had to correct the number to 6! Fortunately the recount was done quickly I and without controversy.
- We had to dodge some poll workers and later on some voters that started to show up early. A good sign of a healthy democratic republic is participation. One poll worker even stopped to ask us a few questions about our workout, when we met, etc. We provided him our website address and encouraged him to check us out. He is a runner and hopefully will be come out.
- When YHC finally got out of my car this morning, @Boomerang had his car stereo turned up to some Aretha Franklin. Always a good choice
- In the spirit of low/no running the the running was shorter distance and optional.
- @DQ was revealed as an early adopter and advocate for Slack.
- This workout, which was modified to fit the AO is sometimes called #TheKirk or #Magnificent7 and is a favorite of mine. It was chosen in part to keep the Pax moving constantly on this cold morning.
