QIC: Gut Check

INTRO:
In full recovery mode from a gluttonous Saturday of College Football, it was time to rest from our labors with a holiday-themed Q. Mumble chatter of Dawgs and Vols and the vast between them got the morning started right. So this Q was doomed to feel like a two-a-day.

WARM-O-RAMA:

Started promptly with a mosey up the glowing stairway to Mars Station for a lite warm up for our vocal chords.

10x SSH
10x Windmills
10x LBCs
10x Merkins

Took the Major Tom route back down to the Clinic station.

THE THANG:

In honor of all those who labor to keep our country moving, we started L.A.B.O.R. D.A.Y. right.

L. 20 lunges in cadence. Then break into a sprint to the sidewalk. There and back.

A. Air squared, weightroom style. 20 Air presses in cadence while resting in an air chair. The could smell the burn, so we sprinted to the other side of the yard.

B. 30 BBS while your partner planked on your feet. Swap. We all grew a little closer and wished our partner at least mouthwashed before posting.

O. 30 Big O’s (now O Faces) on the stage. Hang your feet off the edge, draw the letter O 30 times, legs together, in cadence. Run back to Mars station thru the portal (or lit stairwell–what’s the difference in the Gloom)!

R. 15 Rosalitas. No commentary required.

D. Dipsy Derkins. Alternating 10 Dips and 10 Derkins on the Memorial Benches. 4 Rounds of grape churning misery.

A. Afterburners (catch me if you can). 1 PAX sprints backwards across the yard. PAX 2 does 5 squats and then chases him down. 10 Merkins if you get caught.

Y. “Yes, PAX, you may have another.

(Round 2, 1/2 the reps)

Finish with enough time for Merlot-inducing Mary. Spaceballs, Misty, Beater, and YHC dreamed up some serious misery. Included, something I can’t pronounce that planked a Merkin, J-Lo’s, Cockroaches (here it comes), Flutter kicks (oh no…).

2 PAX lost to the restrooms behind the stage. I thought the .38 Special concert was next weekend.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Prayers for a boy named Brayden (Sequoyah HS) who was hit by a car near Blankets Creek yesterday. Significant injuries.

Prayers for Beater’s family who is fending off the stomach bug.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

First Q in the books. Way more nervous than I should have been. Mumble chatter included losing count of Rosalitas as Spaceballs recognized how 70’s workout video we all looked. Fonda jokes quickly became Dips and Derkins to “Baby Got Back!” After today, we all got a little motor in the back of our Hondas.

Gut Check out.
