Preamble:

Early birthday Q for YHC. A 48th trip around the sun ends on Memorial Day while I'm at the beach so let's celebrate early with a post-rain sweat fest!

Warm-O-Rama:

Warm ups while the slower drivers file in...
  • Willie Mays Hayes
  • Hillbillies
  • Weed pickers
  • Copperhead Squats
  • Windmills

The Thang:

This travelling circus of a birthday beatdown would feature the number 48 in sets of (mostly) 12 along the way. I realized in preparation there was no way I'd remember all of this so I arrived prepared with a Weinke in my pocket and wasn't afraid to use it! We'd start with a mosey to the bakery for leg warmers:
  • 12 Monkey Humpers
  • 12 Squats
  • 12 Squats Jumps
  • 12 Smurf Jacks
Next we moseyed to Homer's Donut for ab work...
  • 12 LBCs (alpha)
  • 12 Flutter Kicks (alpha)
  • 12 Freddy Mercurys
  • 12 Big Boy Situps
Heading around the church parking lot to the playground, YHC dubbed this part the Burpee Quarter-Mile as we stopped 4 times along the way to perform 12 Burpees for a total of 48. Continuing on we made it to the playground for the next round of 48, making sure to get a few pull-ups in to prep for the Memorial Day Murph:
  • 12 Pull-ups
  • 12 Hand Release Release Mercans
  • 12 Makhtar Ndjayes
  • 12 Pull-ups
Onward we moseyed to Chapel Hill, starting at the bottom:
  • 24 Monkey Humpers
  • Bernie up Hill
  • 24 Shoulder Taps (alpha)
Last stop was the Amphitheatre/Fire Pit where nobody was sacrificed but we all left some sweat:
  • 12 Dips (4-count)
  • 12 Dercans
  • 12 Box Jumps
  • 12 Dips (4-count)
Time running short we began the considerable mosey back to the flag, stopping for exercises along the way to account for the Six. Returning with a couple of minutes remaining, a few rounds of Mary were done.

COT:

Lifted up the family and friends of Goldberg, prayers for Ross C who is in the hospital after a sudden illness, and continued prayers for Humperdinck's bro-in-law Calendar:
  • Monday - Memorial Day Murph at the Bridge
  • June 7th - Brew Ruck in Roswell
  • June 28th - Pool Volleyball and Dinner at BallBoy's crib

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Into my 7th year of this sweaty manly chaos and still addicted to the cameraderie and the physical and mental strength that it inherently offers. I appreciate all of you!
