Help Me Ronda

QIC: Drama Queen

Date: 02/01/2018

PAX: Cherry Pie, Huckleberry, Touch Me Not, Zima, Root Canal, Thistle, DQ

On a beautiful but not blue or blood moonlit morning, the pax gathered in the Calvary parking lot for a little WIB action.  The first time at this location a few weeks ago, Zima as Q during Zima week set an unofficial WIB record of pax.  YHC could not match the Zima week hype but a strong crew of 7 came to get some work in.

We took a short mosey to the one of the little shuttle stop shelters (when you’re as big a church as Calvary you shuttle in folks from the parking lot).  YHC explained we would perform exercises at the three shelters and make a couple of other stops on our lap.

In honor of Ronda Rousey’s announcement this week she would begin a career in WWE, the exercises were somewhat related to fighting.  Since she lost her last two MMA fights perhaps moving to “entertainment” might work better.  YHC was hopeful the pax would be entertained.

Also with the newly announced Balco challenge being Pickle Pounders we decided to add those to each stop.  Pax were cautioned this had nothing to do with Ronda but perhaps some were unable to block out the image.

And so we began…

Stop 1 – 10 merkins /10 PPs

Stop 2- 20 Arm bar drills (10 each side) – kinda like heels to heaven with a twist / 10 PPs

Stop 3 – 30 Jab/cross (15 each side) / 10 PPs

Stop 4 – 40 side kicks (20 each side) / 10 PPs

Stop 5 – bunny hop up steps and 50 heavy bag punches at top / 10 PPs

We got in over 2 miles and had enough time to run a couple of Gone With the Wind Sprints in honor of Clark Gable’s birthday.

Finished up with low flutters and dynamic Supermans.

We forgot PPs after merkins in lap 1 so we added them in later laps.  All got at least 100 – most overachieved.  Not quite sure what that says about pax.  Fortunately we were not banned for Calvary parking lot.

Huckleberry was Larry Bird for the day – although it may have had something to do with some of Zima’s comments near the scout hut – sorry but you’ll have to ask them.  This is a family backblast.

Zima got an EC run in

Thanks to Thistle for hanging back with the slow Q. Good conversation.

Most pax recognized several of the exercises were from P90X. #morefunoutside

Strong work by all.  In case names don’t show at top here they are – Cherry Pie, Huckleberry, Touch Me Not, Zima, Root Canal, Thistle, DQ
