Burden in my hand

The BackBlast:

Being asked to be substi-Q the night before might seem to be a burden, but I was happy to oblige.  Nevertheless, I slept terribly the night before.  I always sleep terribly the night before I Q a workout; terrified that I’ll pull an Egypt and fartsack my own workout, or not hear the alarm, or set it for PM instead of AM.  So if I was a bit draggy, I apologize.

We ran up to the Selwyn carpool lot and did a few loops before hitting the COP; SSHs, IWs, Sharon Towers, Merkins, LBC’s, Mtn climbers, etc. Mosey up to the AG temple and count off 1s and 2s.  2s run the building loop stopping at rails for 10 outboard and 10 inboard pullups.  1s do exercise (RDub calls the squat).  Switch off.  Round 2 exercise is monkey humpers followed by hand release merkins (called by Tryon).  Mosey down toward Colony with some lunge walking, Karaoke right, Karaoke left.  Run up Spacklers w/10 merkins at each speed bump and driveway.  Over the hill and far away to the MPHS arch.  Several rounds of dips and derkins (30 down to 20 and then 10).  Run up to MPHS office and hook left toward the gym.  Grab a curb and proceed w/more dips and derkins (10 up to 20 and then 30).  Mosey past tennis courts to Colony.  2s run down hill to Selwyn entrance while 1s do 100 SSHs (or close to it).  2s do 100 SSHs at bottom while waiting for 1s.  On your 6 for some Freddie Mercurys.  Mosey up carpool lane to the yellow gate on the left. Plank exercises (right arm high/right leg high, left arm high/left leg high).  Up hill to the top and grab a set of pavers.  20 curls, 20 shoulder presses, 20 butterflys.  Mosey around AG lot and AYG back to COT.

Thanks to Booth and also Scrubs for the keys to Gamucci – the Granddaddy AO of F3 Metro.  So old most regulars there have forgotten that F3 has a website.  I was warned that backblasts are not allowed at Gamucci, AG, etc but those guys can’t find the website anyway, so I think I’m okay.  Good to see some of the Mustang pax (RDub & Smokey) showing up and showing off.  RDub out front all morning (b/c Brownie is out in CA)!

Many prayers out to the MPHS families in mourning over the recent car accident.  Prayers to Robo and his family over the recent loss of his brother, and prayers to M Scrubs and her continued healing.  Smokey with the heartfelt prayer to take us out.
