Intro:

Got another text from Grylls last night reminding me I had Q today. (Not that I forgot or anything). Whipped up a last minute routine that, although short, was very satisfying.

Warm-o-Rama:

10 Mountain Man Poopers
15 Goofballs
12 Windmills

The Thang:

After warm-o-rama, we short moseyed over to Landfill Hill where YHC decided to combine 2 routines… the Johnny Cash, and the Hey, Watch iss.
It went something like this…
PAX circled up and did squats, while one PAX left the group, ran up the landfill, and yelled down to the circle in their best redneck accent, "Hey Y'all, Watch iss, I bet you cain't do… <n REPS, name of excercise>. For example, we started with "Hey Y'all, I bet you cain't do 25 merkins". The Pax would stop their squats and perform the excercise with the leader, then return to their squats while the leader ran back down to the circle. Next PAX runs up the hill, repeat.
The exercises included:
Merkins
SSH
Burpees
Air Presses
Star Jumps
Mountain Man Poopers
American Hammers
Imperial Walkers
Monkey Humpers
and a few more I don't recall.

Mosey down to the field where we did the Red Barchetta.
Sprint 100 yds > 100 SSH > sprint back
Sprint 75 yds > 75 Mountain Climbers > sprint back
Sprint 50 yds > 50 LBCs > sprint back
Sprint 25 yds > 25 Merkins > sprint back
Sprint 10 yds > 10 Burpees > sprint back
Go back and pick up the six.

End of plan, time to go spontaneous…
Indian Run one lap
Mosey to end zone, Bear Crawls to the 40 yard line, 30 merkins, bear crawl back. Repeat once more.
Line up, flutter kicks until time.

COT:

Lot of prayers today. Jeff who has stage four bone cancer, Almost's M Sarah diagnosed with endometriosis. BeerProof's sister-in-law (?)'s suicide. Yokel's daughter's surgery.
Praise for answered prayers. Grylls' cumulative stresses that have been resolved.

Naked Man Moleskin:

I thought the BD went very well, kept the pace moving, everyone seemed to be working hard. I went home thinking I had done a good job. Then later in the afternoon I got another text from Grylls saying I'm being roasted on slack. I'm not going to say who was stirring up this trouble because I don't want people to think Grylls is a troublemaker. You see, I take the high road. If someone does wrong by me, I forgive them and move on. I don't publish Grylls' or anyone else's name in the backblast and call them out. I'm just not like that. Grylls' is like that. I'm just not. So in order to keep peace among the PAX, I will keep this person's name to myself. No one will EVER know that it was Grylls. EVER! Other than that, it was a pretty good workout.
