That Skunk Was Ready For Us

THE SCENE: Kinda humid
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 45. You can’t get anything past Catgut; he knew what was up.

15 Baby Arm Circles + 15 Overhead Claps + 15 Reverse Arm Circles

Windmills

A lap and a half

THA-THANG:
CMUs felt abandoned after Tuesday’s CMU-free workout, so we gave them some love.

45 reps of anything Q could think of, followed by a little run, 2 burpees, and a Bernie back. Lots of sweating.

Mini-mosey to The Cloud, where we did 3 rounds of Box Baby Boxes, 15 reps each. Once again, Catgut knew what it all added up to.

Our unwelcome guest Jack Webb showed up again today.

3 rounds of 45 second wall sits. 15 PAX, 3 rounds…it all just kind of fell into place today. Must’ve been destiny.

We were headed to Cardiac when Eagle Eye Hands spotted our little striped friend waiting to ruin our week. Skunks do not keep us from Cardiac. We took a more scenic route. Up Cardiac just one time, and back to the AO.

MARY:
Who has time for Mary when Jack Webb visits?

As created creatures of the LORD, we are dependent. Dependent on life, breath, food, abilities, and talents. Let us know be deceived into thinking that the very things we are dependent on the Lord for creating independence in us.

Snitch Has Gas

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER We’re all adults here
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Windmills, Squats, BACs, OHCs, Thumbs Down, more OHCs, take a lap.
THA-THANG:
Box Baby Docks on the Cloud, on repeat. Table Row/Squat Elevens followed by a short mosey down to Atomic Speedway. Maybe the pay-to-play people stole our CMUs? Maybe they grew legs and were making an escape? Either way, we had to pick them up.

Curls, Hands Shrugs (™), bernie, swings, presses, sprints, the tricep thing, more curls. Q just wants to be shredded like Rainbow. A guy can dream, right?

We followed our hearts, which led us to Cardiac, where we figured it was time for hand-releases, squats, dips, flutters…and a repeat. Q is so afraid of boat/canoe that he would rather repeat cardiac one more time.

MARY:
See above. Q is scared and not ashamed to say it.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Rainbow, Hands, Snitch, Finger Paint, and yours truly. Crab Legs is lost in London, so we had the “My Fair Lady” soundtrack on repeat the whole time.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Is it?…is it?” I whispered to my guide.
“Not at all,” said he. “It’s someone ye’ll never have heard of. Her name on earth was Sarah Smith and she lived at Golders Green.”
“She seems to be…well, a person of particular importance?”
“Aye. She is one of the great ones. Ye have heard that fame in this country and fame on Earth are two quite different things.”
MOLESKIN:
Q is grateful to be up early, running around with these men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Snitch calls a guy about a gas line, guy tells Snitch what happened after he died. Spoiler alert; it’s all true.
