QIC: Hops

PAX: Private Ryan, Fire Chicken, Marlboro, Tombstone, Homeland, Total Package, Neverland, Java

10 pax gathered for a nice Tuesday beat down.  No question whether the Q was showing as I was the first one into the parking lot!

Warm-up:  Zig-zag in and out of the parking lot with some but-kickers, high knees and some karaoke.  End up down in lower parking lot.
– SSH x 20

– Loose change x 8 (just felt right)

– Arm circles

– Mountain climbers x 20

 

Thang: working around the AO

4 stations – reps at 10, no increase or decrease

– station 2 (rock pile): curl-squats, press & tricep

– station 3 (back lot with hoop): WW2, KGB IC

– station 4 (pull-up bar): 5-10 pull-ups based on ability

Repeato until called for Mary at 6:10

Moleskin: the morning started early with Marlboro trying to get to the parking lot early and TikTok into the day but I snagged him for a pre-run instead.  When Pax began to arrive, a conspiracy theory surfaced that any time I Q, someone would say…“x day is typically light”.  Also, realizing that Spud avoids my Q’s regardless of day.  Early in the workout, Java made the comment that it seemed I was trying to jam 2 Qs into 1 and maybe that was a subconscious thought and a good observation.  Overall, the workout was good, decent mileage and tried to hit a full body workout.  This Q was overdue as I fell prey to the infamous oversleep in my last attempt.  I have been through the ringer over the past 6 months with work as some of you know and the late night/early mornings juggling I had been doing simply caught up to me.  For my sanity and well-being, I made a strategic move to a new company and really hoping this to be a positive change going forward.  Thanks to all for hanging with me and most importantly keeping me honest throughout.  Would have been a lot harder to get through that last 6-9 months without y’all.

Aye,
