There’s the plan and there’s what happened.  The plan was to spend the hour in the tennis courts. Unfortunately the courts were locked so we changed it up a bit.

Started as always when Pantene showed up, known to others as 7am.  Made an extraordinarily lousy disclaimer and off we went to warm up.  Before we started YHC asked everyone to think of their favorite exercise as well as their favorite wrestlers.  After we did some SSHs, Penny Pickers, imperial storm troopers. While finishing up with arm circles YHC started asking for favorite exercises. We started with Othello asking for his favorite exercise…. his response “let me think”,..,not sure what he was doing during the warm up but it wasn’t following directions. He did make amends naming several of the great wrestlers.  Blue Crush named the most wrestler so we all got to do his favorite exercise, the Burpee. We started with 20 of those then moseyed to the track.

The Thang:

We started with 4 corners. 10 Burpees, 15 WWIIs, 20 LBCs and 25 squats and repeated 4 times.  We then moseyed to the now open tennis courts and started with bear crawls halfway and lunges the second half then repeat back to the start.  Next came everyone’s favorite. We  partnered up one Pax ran 2 courts and back while the other did balls to the wall.  This lasted about 8 rounds.

Next was the Ab loop.  Consisted of 6 stations around the courts.  We did 2 minutes in each station doing in order Flutters, Freddie Mercury’s, LBC, WWIIs, American Hammer. YHC thought it would be nice to show some double respect and have The Body pick the last exercise and of course he delivered a healthy dose of 6”.

We had time for one last exercise so we did suicides across the courts.  Blue Crush and Third Day had a nice father son race. Not sure who won but great work.

Announcements:

March 27th 9am meeting at Pinto family residence for deck cleaning and helping around the yard.

This Thursday after broga the fine folks at ABC are cooking for us, seems like that should be reversed but certainly a great gesture.

Prayers:

GinG’s mom Eileen is in the hospital, Blue Crush’s friend Eddie is continuing to battle. Toughskins relative John is battling kidney failure.

Hot Corner had to bring his wife to the hospital last night because of what she thought was an intestinal problem, turns out she’s only Pregnant!!! Hah Congratulations. He literally came home from the hospital dropped off his, I assume, very understanding wife and came out to post.

Great work by all.  Honor to lead!
