OCT

QIC: Mayhem

PAX: Crabgrass, MARLBORO (I didn’t forget you JK), Catfish, Spud, Hops, Total Package, Tombstone, Neverland

9 men came out on a krisp Sat am for some of Mayhem’s shenanigans. We had an opportunity to call an audible, as Tomby barked, “Waffle House” like he was Peyton Manning calling “Omaha”. QIC waved it off however, opting to grab jump ropes and get busy with:

Warm-A-Rama:

Long jog down Spring to back of Forest Hills for:

SSH

IST

Abe Vigodas

Bobby Hurleys

**Plank up to allow Tomby to finish his joke

Arm Circles

The Thang:

Native American Run down Union to top of old deck. Caboose does two rotations with jump rope before becoming the engine.

Old Deck

plank for recovery as TP had us on a sprinters pace. He also became our resident astronomer, pointing out different celestial planets, of course a heavy emphasis on Uranus. We also learned that Neverland refers to the butthole as, “the entrance”….(it was a joke!)

Back to the Thang,  2 rounds of the following:

50 Jump Ropes

15 Apollo Onos

15 Mountain Climber

15 Squats

15 Lunges each leg

50 Jump Ropes

Down the stairwell, making sure to announce our triumphant entry to any vagrants occupying the warmth. The nerve (Not so much a joke).

 

Continuous trotting to top of new

deck for one quick round of:

50 Jump Ropes

15 LBC

15 RBC

15 Dying Cockroach’s

15 Superman’s

50 Jump Ropes

Back to down the deck to OCT to finish up with a Welsh Dragon:

Circle up. One PAX grabs block and runs around circle, while others do:

4 bear crawls, merkin, shoulder tap, plank jack, until next PAX grabs the block and everyone gets a rotation

Mary

Triangle pose

Wood Shitter Squat (Apparently Frosty is the expert…ITs A JOKE!)

Pot Stirrers

Down Dog

Cobra

Runners Stretch each leg

Upward stretch

Pulling elbow each side

Prayers & Announcements:

Krispy Tiger’s family after the passing of his father

Help wanted at Oak Grove cemetery planting flags for Veterans Day

 

Moleskin:

Right at 3 miles. Lots of chatter about QIC’s decisions. Everyone thought we were pulling up at Boys & Bathe…errr Girls Club (AGAIN, JOKE!), but no, on to Forest Hills we went. QIC needed to stretch the legs as he opted for fartsacking on Friday fun run. Speaking of farts, apparently it’s no joke to Catfish. He’s not impressed with the gravitational pull of Uranus. He got over it. We all do…if we continue to show up…and showing up is what it’s all about. I sure miss it when I opt out or can’t. Always miss something, but even when I do, Slack lets me know about it. I’ve been the brunt of a lot of the jokes, mostly self inflicted, but I can take it and give it where needed. Sort of what makes this group so special. What really is special is when a guy like Krispy Tiger, whom I’ve never met, but his legend continues to grow through the years, and is always connected to something funny, is mentioned in the Circle of Trust for a prayer need. It’s during those times that all jokes are shelved and we lift our brothers up, no matter how much time has passed since their last post. That’s special. That’s what the COT is all about. There’s not a better group than the COT at the OCT, all jokes aside.

Have a great weekend and see you next week.

In His Service,

Mayhem
