Twice as nice
All Concord BackblastsDecember 19th, 2023
2 Q’s were joined by 9 pax on 2023’s most frigid year…until tomorrow for a twice as nice b-day beatdown…one Q making it halfway to 100 and the other halfway to 90!!
Pax: Mayweather, Paw-paw, Spud, Tricky, Homie, Circuit, Popeye, Hoppie, & Marlboro
QIC’s: Neverland and Fire Chicken
Mosey to belk parking lot so we could get the most of the wind chill for the following led by the younger Q…aka Fire Chicken:
20 SSHs IC, 15 ISTs IC, 10 Slow Soap Drop IC, 15 Mt Climbers IC, and some arm circles…
At this point the older Q…aka Neverland took over and led us around the corner to JC Penny for:
50 SSH’s IC…and everyone’s calves melted off
Station 2 led by Fire Chicken near Mexican restaurant for the following:
35 Freddy merks (L/R=1) and the 10 burpees…and all were excited
Station 3 led by Neverland near old Sear’s garage for:
50 LBC’s…not in cadence and not quite single count…it was weird 🙂 Pretty sure Mayweather called this a “boomer” moment for Neverland
Station 4 led by Fire Chicken back down near belk for:
35 merkins and 10 star jumps
Rinse and repeat except Neverland audibled station 1 to 50 KGB’s (L/R=1) and Station 3 to 45 SSH’s IC and 5 burpees.
Bypassed station 4 the second time so pax could go back to ASEC and grab a frozen plate for 45 curls & skull crushers led by Fire Chicken
Mary led by Neverland for some nice Broga
Prayers/Praises/Announcements: Last call to get money in for Christmas families is tomorrow (Venmo Hip or drop funds off at El Ab office), F2 Function at 6:30ish @ Gibson Mill, Mt Afton Challenge to support mental health, pax that are injured/sick and those traveling for the holidays.
WE INTERUPT OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING TO BRING YOU THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM NEVERLAND:
“It finally happened, after countless mornings of everyone asking how long I would stay 49, I turned the BIG 5-0 last Friday.
A big thanks to Grover who kept nagging me to come out to F3 way back in 2017. For those that don’t know, I used to be kinda of a fat-ass (pushing 260). I didn’t feel great and had an extra fuckin’ chin. In 2016, I had a health scare while in NYC for work. Tests came back fine so I promised myself to run the NYC half marathon right then. Six months later I did it and haven’t looked back. Changing your lifestyle is fuckin’ hard. Waking up a 5am sucks. The heat sucks. The cold sucks. Injuries suck. But you know what doesn’t suck? Being in fuckin’ great shape, staying healthy for my family, and looking like a sexy fuckin’ beast while we do things most folks would label insane. Not to mention, a great group of jackasses to keep me motivated and have coffee outdoors in 28 degree temps.
Thank you to every single one of you MF’ers for helping me keep the old version of me tucked away in photo albums. And thanks to FC for letting me grab part of his bday Q.
To 50 More!!!”
NO BACK TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING…
Moleskin: Definitely chilly but moved a bunch so all stayed warm for sure. A number of pax confused by second mystery Q were concerned Grover was going to come out of the bushes to lead bunches of burpees..thankfully it wasn’t his birthday/birthday weekend. Thanks to all those who showed on this cold morning and pull yourselves out of bed tomorrow to do it again for Buzzkill’s VQ. Thanks for putting up with the 2 birthday Q’s.
Always and Honor,
Fire Chicken and Neverland
