Fourteen (14) PAX gathered on a brisk March morning in the parking lot of Mount Tabor United Methodist Church for what YHC hoped would be a beatdown sufficient to entertain the usual #WIB crowd, which can be tough when you are dealing with the likes of Zima, Thistle, Offsides & Burns.   Whirly graced us with his presence as well, and he had even taken care of the #1 S in the Morning Triple Ss.  T-Claps, Whirly!!

WARMARAMA:   A mix of SSHs, ISTs, Seal Claps, and Overhead Claps.   Feeling that it would not be right unless Whirly called them out himself, the Whirly’s With a Clap were led by the man himself.   Finishing up with some standing hamstring stretches, we moved onto the Thang.

THE THANG:  YHC set up a course running along the perimeter of the parking lots around Mount Tabor UMC (approximately 0.40 miles in distance), consisting of the following pain stations:

• Upright Rows  (an assortment of kettlebells and dumbbells weighing between 20 lbs to 35 lbs were available for use)
• Beat Your Boots Squats (hit the outside soles of your shoes when you squat down)
• Mike Tysons
• Dips
• Wall Sits with Wonder Bras (using bricks)
• Monkey Humpers
• Outside Knee Touches

After an inaugural loop to explain and demonstrate the various exercises, in which we performed 12 reps of each exercise at each station, we got after it.  During each successive lap, 1 additional rep was performed at each station,  such that 12 reps advanced to 13 reps, etc. etc.

The PAX all completed at least 5 laps by the time that 0615 arrived (with many completing 6 and some even 7), resulting in a coverage of a minimum of 2 miles in distance and 87 reps of each exercise.

COT: 

• Prayers for a quick and full recovery by Offsides’ teenage daughter, Carly, who suffered a serious ankle injury earlier this week
• Prayers for the tornado victims in Alabama
• Prayers for peace and harmony in the world
• Thistle took us out with a encouraging prayer, encouraging all of us to be lights in our world and spread His love to all people

Thanks for the keys, Thistle!   I didn’t crash the car.
