In Thanksgiving for Our M’s

Today is YHC’s 22nd anniversary: yep, on June 4, 1994, JV was made eternally happy. To help PAX remember that date (and also lest YHC ever forget), YHC drilled that date and anniversary into their heads (and arms and legs and cores).

So in honour of 6-4-1-9-9-4, a set of 33 burpees: first 6, then 4, then mosey to the Great Lawn for another 1, then 9 more, then 9 more, and then finally 4 more. Mosey to football field (that’s now a baseball field):

A round of Marriage, to emphasise 6-4-9-4 or 22 years:
Merkins 22 xIC
Austin Ass-Kickers 9+4 xIC
Ranger Merkins 6+4 xIC (note to self: great for upper back)
Russian Twists 22 xIC
Iron Hulk (merkins and air presses in ratio 1:4): 1 to 10 for merks (4 to 40 for APs)
Alternating Shoulder Taps 22 xIC
Groiners (merkin, then thrust feet to outside of arms): 6+4 xIC
E— Er… (couldn’t think) but Every Girl loves Diamond … Merkins: 6+4 xIC

Drilling 6-4-9-4 takes practice. So after a nice 22-count pause:
60 yards of Bear Crawls, then 9 LBCs, then 40 yards of Crab Walk, then 4 Dying Cockroaches.
60 yards of Duck Walks, then 9 LBCs, then 40 yards of Frog Hops, then 4 Dying Coackroaches.

To remind the PAX that every marriage has its ups and down and lots of time just running around, a celebration for YHC’s 22 years of marriage. After a mosey down Roosevelt Mall (where Hawg found us) to the beginning of the benches:
Mosey to first bench for 1 incline merkin, then mosey back for 1 derkin;
Mosey to second bench for 2 incline merks, then mosey back for 2 derkins;
Etc., Etc. to sixth bench and back
Then it was supposed to be one finally short mosey to the first bench and back for one final set of incline and decline merkins–for a total of 22 incline merkins and 22 derkins. But TClaps to Rudy and Radar who moseyed to the 7th bench for their last circle. After all, they weren’t celebrating their 22nd today.

After a mosey back to the Great Lawn, time for a short round of Mary to celebrate our marriages:
Wife Pleasers with shoulders off the ground: 6+4 xIC (TClaps to Side Effects who just wanted to keep on going and going and going)
Hello Dolly: 22 xIC
Rosalita: 22 xIC
Wife Pleasers with shoulders on ground: 9+4 xIC

Mosey back to the Flag for Namorama and prayer in thanksgiving for our wives. YHC, Jingle Vader
