Moleskin:
I am glad to see that the majority of us are still carving out some time for fitness. I wonder how many of us are still getting up at our regularly scheduled times and virtually posting at 5:30. I know I am not and that it will be hard to get back to the normal routine, but I am looking forward to it.

Fellowship has been hard, but virtual coffeeteria offers a chance for us to connect. I hope more of you will join the next time we have one.

I hope everyone’s mental health is well. I also hope that your faith remains strong during this time. Let’s continue to pray for everyone’s health and safety and thank you to all of the essential PAX.

Let’s make the most of another week of social distancing.

See you in the virtual gloom,
HHH

Well done, boys! For those that completed the WOD, I’m glad you stuck it out. For those that reported the time, I think Scarecrow came in with the time to beat. Even though we can’t workout together, I’m looking forward to the challenges the Qs come up with next week. If you’ve been thrown off by the change of your schedule and haven’t hit a WOD yet, shake off the rust and get after it! See ya’ll on Band or perhaps the trail.

3/19/20 – Virtual Reality Day 2 @F3NWInd

Pax:
Al Gore, Antman, Atticus, Class Act, Coors, Editor, Fonzie, Groening, HHH, Lights Out, Mufasa, Oilermaker, Optimus, PacRat, Scarecrow (QIC), Tank, Thunder.

So yesterday was a mashup of everyone’s different workouts of various sorts. Beginning today we’re back to utilizing our Q schedule and continuing to prepare Qs for guys to workout on their own. Coors had the solid suggestion of continuing with this practice to help each other from getting stale with our individual ideas. That doesn’t mean we won’t count individual efforts to stay active and continue to put in work in what ever way your able. So, with that in mind today is the first day with the preblast containing the full suggested workout. Solid PAX turnout again with 17. Here’s what was the challenge WOD; plus a few modifying and adjusting to taste:

Warm up:
SSH x 25
Windmills x 15
Perfect squats x 25
Perfect merkins x 20
Mountain climbers x 20 (4ct)
WW2s x 20

The Thang:
Lt. Dan 1-10
Dora 1-2-3 (up the totals if you’re feeling ambitious)
100-Leg raises
200-LBCs
300-Squats
Jack Webb 1-10

Mary:
Fire hydrants x 15 each leg
Bird dog x15
Donkey kicks x15
Donkey whips x15
Bay city scissors x15
Windshield wipers x15
Side crunch x15

Moleskin:
No surprise in this statement, but it definitely wasn’t the same w/o other PAX around for extra motivation. Keep up the solid efforts. Not only will this help the physical body but also provide benefits for our mental sanity as well. Hopefully this will be a short-term solution and we’ll see each other back in the gloom soon!

Until next time,
Scarecrow
