INTRO:

Gotta show up early for the VQ. Rolled in a little after 5 to make sure the field was open because I needed time to come up with a backup plan if it was locked. PAX started rolling in and we started right at 5:30

WARM-O-RAMA:

Quick mosey around the parking lot where Homeboy tried to get in YHC’s head about not watching the videos leading up to my VQ or practicing in front of the mirror, then circled up at the bottom of the hill for the warm-up. 

The warm-up consisted of:

15x SSH

10x Windmills

10x Weedpickers

Some more mumble chatter about Homeboy’s attempt at sabotage and Garfield checking out the calves on YHC.

THE THANG:

Quarter Pounder

PAX headed down to the field for a good old fashioned quarter pounder. PAX ran from the goal line to the 25, did 25 Merkins, and then back to the goal line.  This continued, going to the 50 and doing 50 squats, then the 75 (other 25 yard line) and doing 75 mountain climbers, and finally the other goal line and doing 100 LBCs.

Stairway to Seven

PAX then headed to the stadium stairs and lined up for Stairway to Seven. Start with 1 burpee at the bottom, followed by 1 inclined merkin on the first step, run up to the top of the stairs and do 1 squat. This was repeated, adding 1 rep to each exercise until the PAX reached 7, while trying not to fall up or down the weirdest steps in Cherokee County.

Add Cheese to the Quarter Pounder

PAX were crushing it at this point, leaving us plenty of time for another round of quarter pounders. Only difference was substituting flutter kicks for the mountain climbers. The groans fueled YHC to keep pushing.

Bollywood Runs

As far as YHC can tell, there is no name for this, but next up was an Indian Run with a twist. PAX at the back had to do 5 burpees before sprinting to the front. After all 13 had their chance to shine, we headed back to the flag for some quick Mary and a lesson in LBC cadence.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Name-O-Rama, followed by some reminders of upcoming events and prayers for fellow PAX. 

Naked-Man Moleskin:

It was a humbling experience leading the PAX today for my VQ. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and for that I am grateful. The Paragon was where I had my FNG post, so it was only fitting that I had my VQ there. Thanks for pushing me and allowing me to push you this morning.

Live Long and Prosper
