No one joined Maverick and Icebox for MRM, the picture below is a reenactment of our ruck. We had a good talk where I tried to boost his self esteem since no one came to his birthday party. The plus side was that he got as many cerveza salutes as he wanted!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out
MOLESKIN:
Some mumblechatter about how YHC mixed up this disclaimer, but it was also pointed out that all the essentials were covered. Some mild complaints about heading to the tennis court with it being wet, but YHC decided it would help with the mental toughness a little bit. Sex Panther and Sweet Baby teamed up which led to discussions of names and how Sex Baby wouldn’t be ideal but Sweet Panther is a good name. Special Sauce joined the group, so naturally that trifecta is now called “Special Sex Baby” Not much in the way of Star Wars quotes (though Alright Alright mentioned at one point the music sounded Harry Potterish), but Strangler mentioned after YHC prayed us out that “It’s a trap!” should have been mentioned. Something YHC will consider for next year’s May 4th workout (or maybe this December for Episode IX).

MOLESKIN:
IThe PAX was still grumbling about Saturday’s workout, so YHC obliged the request of Oatmeal to have some upper body to start the workout. Not much mumblechatter during the TIGER portion except for some questioning of the number of Ear Merkins which was Omaha’d. Quite a bit of political commentary for the Obama across the bball court, including “Is that 4 steps forward and 8 steps backward?” “Is this an exercise where we just stand around talking and not doing anything?” YHC may have to start coming up with other presidential themed exercises/workouts for more political commentary from the PAX. Stay tuned.

#mrmbackblast
Coach K and Princess Turtlehead joined Maverick and YHC for this week’s mutt ruck.
Conversation drifted from puppies and high school wrestling to wondering what the construction is all about around the park.
Maverick was full of energy but started to putz around the last 1/2 mile which required some motivation from Coach K to regain focus and finish the ruck
PSA: let’s get some lights to wear while we run and ruck, there’s been an increase of traffic lately, let’s be more visible than we have been.

MOLESKIN:
Not a lot of mumblechatter. Great to have Noodler join us (great job EHing Sally). Not sure if any of the PAX noticed our tribute to Icecube being born with the Ice Cube playlist created by our resident DJ, Icebox. The PAX was curious if YHC cut his boxes toward himself, which YHC does not. Overall another great day in the gloom with our fellow F3 Brethren.

Trickle, Teasip, Alright Alright, Sex Panther, Sally, Special Sauce, Oatmeal, Ma Bell (Carpex) Rump Roast, Willie Loman from Louisiana joined Chairman Mao and YHC for a Creed 2 beat down
Warmup: SSH, IST’s
2 rounds of jump rope waterfall, one of these days we should see if Sauce and Sally could go 45 min straight
1st Creed/Drago fight, total carnage
Bear crawl the width of the football field and back, 30 burpees, 40 jump squats, 30 burpees, then bear crawl down and back again
Recovery/montage
Creed needed to strengthen his core for the 2nd fight so we did a bunch of Mary, first led by YHC then by Chairman
2nd Creed/Drago fight, the comeback
Mini solo Dora
Run width of football field and back, 25 merkins, run down and back 25 LBC’s, run down and back 25 squats
Finished with some lil baby arm circles wearing out the shoulders from all those fights
Not a lot of mumblechatter that I could hear, it was a pretty grueling beatdown for a large part of the workout
Chairman and I look forward to more movie themed co-Q’s in 2019!

MOLESKIN:
Not much mumblechatter this morning, as there was almost constant movement. Some complaints about some of the songs that popped up and how they weren’t really conducive to running, but YHC had to include them since “Run” was somewhere in the title. Great having Sex Panther out. He will be a constant presence since he lives next to Alright Alright.

Rucked around University Park
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC did a quick prayer since we rucked a little longer than planned.
MOLESKIN:
Took it easy as we wanted to be in peak condition for the TID 18K. Normal mumblechatter, mainly centered around the TID 18K that was the next morning.

PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Mile High, Pepper, Rocket Man, RockyTop (from F3 Houston), Rump Roast, Sally, Special Sauce

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 25 (for the 25 Opening Day Roster spots)
IST x 13 (for the 13ish position players most teams carry)
Daisy pickers x 12 (for all the Little Leaguers who would rather be picking grass than playing OF)

THA THANG:
Mosey to the football field for partner CUBS (one partner does exercise while the other runs to the other goal post and back, then flapjack until you finish the reps).
Carolina Dry Docks x 108
Upright Row x 200
Boxcutter x 300 (“Pitching” change to 275)
Seal Jacks x 400 (“Pitching” change to 275)
The Co-Q’s then attempted to introduce the classic spring training game of pepper/hotbox to the PAX. Due to the low lighting and lack of baseball knowledge/lack of Little League experience of the PAX, this was quite the failure, much like the Rangers seasons recently. This did allow YHC to do his partner STROS (same format as CUBS, but cut the running in half)
Squats – 50
T Merkins – 75
Reverse Crunch – 100
OH Claps – 125
Side Straddle Hops – 150
This brought us to 6:15 when YHC prayed us out.
MOLESKIN:
The weather did not feel very Spring Training-y, with a solid mid to high 30’s throughout the workout. Thanks to pressure from YHC’s co-Q, YHC braved the elements to support his Astros with his very thin short sleeve shirt. Not much mumblechatter about the upcoming baseball season, though YHC did correctly call Machado to the Padres when Sally asked. YHC must assume this is because most of the PAX are Rangers fans who will be in for a long season getting demolished by the Blastros. Or the PAX isn’t much for baseball, as that was apparent at the rather terrible attempt at playing Pepper. There may need to be a special training session for this classic game before it is brought back out for a Saturday beatdown. A welcome back to Pepper and there was some discussion amongst the PAX about he showed up for this workout when Alright Alright was not present. Any idea on how often that has happened?

AlrightAlright, Sally, Special Sauce, Gambler, Thunderlips, Ina, Mile High, & Hannigan joined YHC for Katy Trail Thursday
Oatmeal, Rump Roast, & Coach K showed up at 5:15 for their vision quest and saw them at the end of the workout
For the Katy Trailers the theme of the workout was pick up your 6, ran in 1/4 and 1/2 mile increments and whenever you finished you had to run back to the PAX bringing up the 6 and finish the segment with them. jon immediately asked after I explained the concept if he had to run back if he finished 3rd, clearly handicapping the field well as he was right on AlrightAlright and Mile High’s tail all AM.
PSA for future Thursday Q’s – don’t Native American run when you’re crossing Knox, that’s my bad Thunderlips and hope you forgive me
Awesome to see Hannigan again as he came back for a Thursday workout for the first time in a while, great job!
We sprinkled in a few squats and merkins but it was really about the run and stretching the legs out and getting some miles in.
