Gilchrist 3/7/19
6 men met in the cold, crisp air (until IH polluted it) to make the man next to them stronger, and to enjoy a 2nd attempt at my 52nd birthday Q.
Q: Cathy
Pax: Rico Suave, Mensa, Iron Horse, Fish, and The Count
The Lord’s Prayer
The theme was 52, so everything was done as 13×4, 26×2, 52, or 104
Warm-up:
26 4ct SSH, 26 4ct Imperial Walkers
To the Playground:
13 pull-ups, 13 Derkins, 13 LCR Squats, 13 Up and Outs (52 total reps)
52 second wall sit
The Thang:
Deck of cards (because…52 cards, duh). Everyone had a ruck plate or a sandbag weighing 30-60lbs and we rotated each exercise, so everyone could enjoy all the different weights.
Diamonds = Kettlebell swings, Clubs = Flutters with weight overhead, Hearts = Curl to overhead press, and Spades = Standing row
Finished with 104 reps of each exercise (because this was my 2nd attempt at 52. See what I did there?)
We had three minutes left, so we tried to squeeze 52 burpees in, but went two minutes long. I now owe everyone there two minutes.
COT: Pax is reporting well. Prayers for those affected by the recent tornadoes, and especially some relatives of our F3 brothers. Rico Suave is planning a tornado clean-up trip for Saturday, and has emailed everyone and posted on FB. Mensa’s wife received a Character Award from her fellow realtors. IH is enjoying his mom’s visit, and his wife’s cooking (he is also reading Joshua). Fish is continuing to teach his kids, and they are actually paying attention. Prayers for Count’s family as they work through possible medications for their 2.0. Prayers for safe travels for my family, as the youngest leaves for New York Saturday, and Kris and I go on a week long cruise (I’ll try to find an F3 group in Belize or Roatan).
Rico led us out in prayer.

YHC,
