A fine group showed up ready to take on the 29 degree chill and make it a better day in many ways. YHC has been working at Samaritan’s Purse – Operation Christmas Child and upon returning home at 11pm – saw that the Q was still available – and decided on a late night pick up… now to figure out what to do…?  When I rolled in to MCP and saw Major Pain and Chowder present , I immediately knew the mumble would ensue shortly and continue throughout… they did not disappoint.

We’re off-  Disclaimer

Warmorama – Little circular mosey from lower parking lot to upper level – we ended up about 100 yds from where we started – confusing some … if not all pax.- and maybe even the Q??

SSH, IST, WM, MC’s, Merks – all IC x12 – then as a reminder of Burpee 3000 month – do 5 Burpees – whereby a debate began about whether the 3000 burpfest includes Burpees done in an actual workout… OR if it is in ADDITION to the Workout – rendering the workout Burpees null and void of qualification for the challenge. Chowder called this the Varsity version… if he said it… it must be gospel truth! As major and Chowder sucked up all the oxygen in the room regarding that… YHC attempted to instruct the remainder of the Pax on our next activity

The Thang –

improvising as I go….The1.5 seconds of down time between exercises was just enough time for Major and Chowder to jump in w/ the mumble…. darn it… too slow for these witty wonders!

B.O.M.B – Line up at end of pkg lot for a 2-4-6-8-10 ladder BOMB= Burpees, O-Ring Squats, Hands Free….er release Merkins and another go at Burpees… still debating if they qualify or not we are off- Stopping at the assigned markers – all pax performed admirably with minimal mumble–maybe it was the dual burpees inserted? Pax did 60 Burpees in this go round… for whoever is counting.

Mosey to the picnic tables by the ball park and partner up-

P1 – peoples chair while P2 does 20 step ups – rinse and repeat until teams get 120 step ups done. Some mumble ensued regarding rocks and bicep curls and that the rock pile is in the opposite direction of YHC’s  intended route. Oh well – when Major Q’s next time – we know where the bulk of our workout will be done. #curlsgetthegirls!

Mosey – going the opposite direction of mumble kings – we head back to lower parking lot and smaller hill for a  1-5 ladder of CCD’s on the curb – run up the frost laden hill for WWII’s – on the frosty tundra – this is about where chowder and Major ran out of mumble steam… I think… or maybe YHC had turned down hearing aid by then…

One last mosey to the open field and bleachers for partner run/incline then Decline merkins – Chowder asked for a new partner this time and ONJ obliged by teaming up w/ YHC – leaving Chowder an opening for another unsuspecting pax – maybe it was major…

finally a sprint to the flag – where the top 3 finishers – Chowder, Glock and Avalance – get to lead the first 3 MARY cool downs – well done.

Pretzel Crunch, Partner throw downs – x 45, monkey humpers – respectively.

YHC finished off with Low Flutters

COT

BOM

Chilly Moleskin –

Always an adventure and challenge to lead the fine group at MCP on a Sat morn. Great turnout and great fun! enJOY your day and Sabbath rest brothers. Share the PEACE and HOPE that we only find in Christ – with someone who could use it… there are plenty of hurting and hope less people God puts in our path each day…Praying we all slow down and recognize the opportunities to receive the gift and give the gift of HOPE.
