(no-show) Hawg inspired me to take the Q at The Uptowner for the very first time. 4 PAX joined me for an unseasonably warm and humid morning at the VSF. Thanks, Tool, for joining me a few minutes early for some pre-Thang ISI work.
The Thang: Burpees. But first: SSH x25 just to get the blood flowing. Then Burpees.
- 10 minutes of Every-Minute-On-The-Minute rounds of 10 burpees. Fortunately, PAX had JV to help us all keep count. 1. <Darth Vader Breath> 2. <More Darth Vader Breath>. 3.
- Gee that was fun. Go grab a Rock
- 10 minutes of EMOM AMRAP of a squat-curl-press-and-back-down routine with your rock (Start standing, squat down to pick up the rock. Curl up. Press up. Go back down to squat to place the rock. Stand up again.) YHC had to explain at least twice to Heisenburg that one does not throw the rock down, but gently places the rock at the bottom of the squat.
- 6 minutes of EMOM Burpees. Because the world needs more Burpees.
- 10 minutes of EMOM with our Rocks again.
- 1 minute left – Burpees!
I’m sorry to disappoint you, Fracsac. I know you came for the full 45 minutes o’ Burpees that you were promised. Maybe next time. I appreciate your courage in showing up for it (unlike others who apparently chose to fartsack instead)
Close with intentions, remembering those suffering through violence, sickness, natural disasters. Ask for wisdom and patience to see and execute God’s vision for each of us. In particular, YHC asks for blessings on his son and all high school seniors as they continue the process college applications and decision making. May God shine a light on the path for each of them.
Thank you all for chance to lead. Next time at The Uptowner, we may graduate from 17 minutes of burpees to 20 minutes…
I wouldn’t have missed it, but must admit I was relieved that it didn’t happen. Great Q as always!
