Nineteen dudes did some window shopping along Richardson Square at Seismic on Tuesday, April 20. Turns out there’s a lot of ways you can get into carious kinds of trouble along our picturesque Little Main. What’s your poison? Caffeine? Pills? Alcohol? Axes? You can have it all. Here’s how it all went down.

Conditions: Clear, pleasant. Dry.

COP

SSH x2

Through the Tunnel x10

Imperial Walker x10

LBAC x 10

Partner up and step off for a string of pearls to the square to keep the group together. Once there, at the first street light by Cuppa Manna, Partner 1 ran to the second street light and held plank while partner 2 executed 25 squats. Partner 2 then runs to the third street light and holds plank, alerting Partner 1 along the way that it’s his turn to do squats. Continue until you reach Guerin’s Pharmacy for a total of 13 street lights. Return to Cuppa Manna the way we got there, subbing in American Hammers for the squats. String of pearls back to the AO for 2.5 minutes of Mary.

Every month the men of Seismic gather to run the Hero, the AO’s monthly endurance test, in honor of a hero to one of the PAX. This month, we choose to honor Kyle Carpenter. On November 21, 2010, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter was posted atop a building in violent Helmand Province, Afghanistan, when an enemy grenade skittered toward Kyle and a fellow Marine. Without hesitation, Kyle jumped on the grenade and somehow lived, while severely injured, to tell about it. On June 19, 2014, Kyle was awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his “singular act of courage” on that rooftop in Afghanistan. Kyle became the youngest living recipient of the award.

Rinse and Repeat

Mary:  WW2 Sit-Ups, Pickle Pounders, Dying Cockroach, Terrible Ts

Announcements, Pledge, COT

Devo:  Always Forward. Never Backward.  YHC shared briefly about a Japanese Samurai and the character Christian from Pilgrim’s Progress. Both had armor on the front only.

For the Samurai, he would face his enemies going forward and never retreat. He would fight his way through the crowd, moving steadily forward, or die trying. He did not need to protect his backside because he would never retreat.

For Christian, when he faces Satan’s attack, he would not turn his back but rather trusted in the defense given to him by God. We can’t turn our back on the Enemy. Don’t let your guard down and fall prey to temptation.

Moleskin: The Pax was unusually quiet today, but the men were hustling trying to hit 10 total circuits. YHC failed to do Namearama. Q fail. I remember who was there, but the standard is to say all names. I’ll get it right next time.

Pledge and COT

Announcements: February Q sheet is up.  Convergence at the Ditch on Saturday.

Devo: Try to keep learning.  Learn new skills and new things.  Learn more about the things you think you know well.

Moleskin: I rarely Q outside of Bedrock, but Microwave asked for some help at Seismic, so I was happy to help out.  I hadn’t worked out at Doty in a while, so I decided to keep it simple and do a cardio/leg beatdown in one small location.  Running around town is a good workout, but you can also do cardio in a small space with the right exercises.  I tried to keep everyone moving and keep the heartrates high.  The mumble chatter got lighter as we went along, so I think I succeeded.  It was great to finally lead the #tipofthespear.

Block Party… sort of
