Who or what are you taking for granted?

Date:1/18/2017
QIC:Reluctant Yankee
PAX:Hawgcycle, Roots, Bartman, Tinkles, 86, Jadaveon, Rev-It, Tito, Douille, Jingle Vader, RY(QIC), Seaman, Whoop!, and Mulligan

I signed up Reverend for this Q a few weeks back but I never checked in with him about it – so as punishment for my failed forced Q – I covered the Q.

Today as I walked up the flag was there -thanks whoever brought it. Douille was there in long sleeves – it is 75 degrees but he is still adjusting after his Disabled List run. I was surprised to see Hawg – I guess he was hoping for Reverend’s Q. Word on the street Reverend brings tons on non-traditional exercises – sorry Hawg.
Also Whoop! was in the house. Welcome back Kotter. 14 PAX in a humid, foggy gloom.

I brought James’s speaker for some Tabata but first things first. Disclaimer. Then a short mosey to Oak Alley for a COP warmup.
SSH x 20, Hillbillies in honor of Hawg x 25, Plank Jacks x 20, Peter Parkers x 20, and finished with Squat arm circles front x 12 back x 12

Then a short mosey to the over-hangy thing. or as Roots calls it a Shelter.

Here we did our first “real” timed event.
30 secs of Lateral Jump Burpees, 10 sec recover 30 sec of Lateral Bear Crawl. We did 4 rounds of this.

Then mosey for .33 miles.

Next we did traditional Tabata. Sumo Squat Jump 8 rounds 20 secs on 10 sec recovery. Then we did Staggered Merks 8 rounds 20 secs on 10 sec recovery. Seaman was excited about the Sumo Squats – he has been asking to round out his glutius maximus.

Then we ran a lap to the golf course side. . 25 miles.

Back for some more traditional TABATA. Here we did 8 rounds 20 Sec on 10 sec recover of Broad Jump Burpees and then we finished TABATA with Walking Plank.

Then we mosey’d to the FLAG. We arrived at 613 so we did 20 Russian Twists to get us to the 615 mark.

COT: A prayer for my mother who had a mini-stroke 2 weeks ago. I asked us to be aware of the people we take for granted and remind ourselves to appreciate them NOW. Watching my father care for my mother was eye opening and made me reflect on who we care for and how we care for them. Love your loved ones with real deliberateness this week. (and always but we always slide back into the routine don’t we…)

    According to LiveStrong there are more exercises for the sphincter…that being said I can barley lift my arms to place them on my keyboard. Great beat down Yankee!

      I can see how Uptown works:

      Uptowner 1: Is that an alien from another world pulling up?
      Uptowner 2: I don’t know, I’ve never seen that vehicle before.
      Uptowner 1: Hey Uptowner Q, looks like we need to prepare to initiate “Alien” Invasion Beatdown.
      Uptowner Q: Roger, let me confirm if that is an alien first.. JV, who is that??
      JV: Oh, that’s just Hawg guys.
      Uptowner Q: Pax, it’s confirmed by JV.. initiate “Alien” Invasion Beatdown to shun any future aliens from posting at Bird Cage.
