The PAX began to arrive, hoping to reach double-digits this Friday.  @Sparky announced as Q and disclaimer was given.

WARMARAMA:

• Side Straddle Hops
• Tempo Squat
• Cotton Picker
• Windmill
• Merkins
• Five Burpees OYO (and promised by Q to be the only ones)

THE THANG:

Sparky shared we would be targeting specific muscle groups throughout the AO, starting with chest, then legs, arms, back, and shoulders.

Began mosey down the hill, stopping for Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Wide-Merkins (aka Werkins) in cadence.  Arrived to the playground for some additional Decline Merkins.

Legs time.  One PAX finds a rock.  Partner #1 holds rock and squats, while Partner #2 lung walks the “Boise State” basketball court and jogs back. X 3

Move to the picnic shelter.  Partner #1 does 20 dips, while Partner #2 curls the rock.  x 3  Discussion about sleeves, sleeveless, and Soccer Arms ensues.

Time for back: Partner #1 does 10 pull-ups at playground, while Partner #2 does Bentover Rows. x 3

Let’s not forget the shoulders: Partner #1 overhead press with rock, Partner #2 completes 20 Carolina Dry-Docks. x 3.  At this point, most of us were cooked.

We moseyed back to origin for Mary, which included pain stations of LBC’s and WWII Sit-up’s, plus a Quadriphilia for @Dodger to smoke the field.

MARY:

• Low-Flutter
• Pretzel-stick + flapjack
• Freddy Mercury
• Box-cutter
• Homer-to-Marge

COT & BOM

THE MOLESKIN:

Today was the first installment of @Koolaid’s “50 for Friday” initiative. Every time 10 or more post on a Friday at Skywalker, @Koolaid has volunteered to donate $50 to Children’s Attention Home in Rock Hill (CAH is a Christian-based rescue facility housing children from broken homes due to drugs, neglect, parents in prison, etc., including children from infancy to 17 years old.  This incentive runs until the end of November to provide gifts during the holiday season.  @Genie has also volunteered to match the donation, although his absence today was widely recognized.  (Rumor has it there was a lawn-mowing related ailment??)

Pretty awesome initiative by @Koolaid.  I know of at least one PAX who was going to add to the contribution today.

I offered to compose the blackblast on @Sparky’s behalf.  Personally, not sure when I’ll get back to Skywalker, but I always enjoy venturing to the other side of Eastfield.

Iron Sharpens Iron.
