Turning 46 today! So I took the Q. 20 Pax joined me on this beautiful, cool morning. We appreciate this weather because we know the heat and humidity will arrive soon.
Moseyed to the lawn in front of Tulane Gibson Hall for warm-ups: Stretches, self love, arm circles to SSHs.
Then moseyed towards Tulane campus and stopped by this multi million $ new building. We purposely stained their clean steps with our sweat with inclined merkins, squats, and alternate step-ups.
When we realized that we cannot afford Tulane’s tuition, we decided to transfer to Loyola. We stumbled upon this parking garage. I figure we can get a better view of the campus once we get to the top. Before each ramp on every level, we did 8 burpees. 8 burpees x 5 floors = 40 burpees. Tulane’s education paid off, but I still think we need to explore Loyola. On every ramp between our burpees, we did the following: backward run, bear crawl, duck walk, bunny hops, backward bear crawl. I heard a few mumblechattering…. Once we reached the top, we all sat against the wall and did seal claps, overhead claps, and overhead presses. Still kind of dark… nothing to see up here…. we decided to Indian Run back down and met up with studious Mary at the Palms Court. We did some flutter-kicks, hello Darlene, leg raises, and 6 more burpees…. 3 of them were painfully slow.
Mary showed us the importance of stretching after a good beatdown. Unfortunately, it’s time to say goodbye to Mary as we all graduated from college with a F3 degree.
At graduation, I passed out diplomas to NipTuck (Valedictorian), Bad Moon, Schmeat Pump, Willie, Reluctant Yankee, Reluctant Tiger, BlowOut, 8 Ball, Douille, Jingle Vader, Chowda, Sandbar, Walk in the Park, Angie’s List, MeatBall, Dry Socket, Sogo, Chiquita, Manchovy, and Windbreaker.
I am always grateful to have a F3 degree. I truly believe this will carry us far in life, and I wish to have many more Birthday Qs. I hope to reach quadruple respect status at the very least.
