July 27th, 2020 By Powerball

@Snape, @Poutine, and QIC chose to open the final week of July 2020 with the Murph, which is named in the memory of Navy Seal Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005.

In addition, these two PAX were able to join in QIC’s birthday celebration.

The sun arose just as we hit 0630 and a mild-to-none disclaimer was given.

A brief WARMARAMA to get the blood flowing: Side-straddle hops, Imperial Storm Troopers, Penny-Pickers, Windmill, and Mountain Climbers.

MURPH:

• Run one mile, returning to the HCGC parking lot
• 10 of Exercise with Coupon (overhead press, bent over rows were most popular) to replace Pull-ups
• 20 Merkins
• 30 Air Squats
• Repeat x ten
• Run one mile, returning to the HCGC parking lot

MARY: Low-flutters with Coupon extended, Low-dolley’s with Coupon extended

COT and PRAYER

Prayers included, but not limited to:

• @Charmin and his family with the recent passing of his mom.
• @Poutine’s neighbor Jim H., who lost his battle with cancer.  He was only 53 years old and had been mentioned many times previously.
• When faced this week with what we “have” to do, let’s be thankful for what we “get” to do.

MOLESKIN

• According to the data, the mile was actually 1.13 miles.  So we did a little extra today.
• I took @PonyBoy’s advice from last month and alternated between overhead press & bent-over row to assist in the set count.  Granted, that ended up not really being necessary, due to @Poutine’s commentary/encouragement.
• Tomorrow: @DutchBoy makes his triumphant return to Boot Camp by Q’ing the 0530.
• On that note, still plenty of open spaces on the SUG.
• A truly awesome way to start my 38th birthday. Two more years of “hate” from y’all!  And if you haven’t heard…y’all get to see my face regularly for some extended weeks, at least mid-September.  Most likely at the 0530.
