Devo: YHC took a minute a spoke on the passing of my grandmother on New Years Day.  Never miss an opportunity to say Goodbye to someone you love and let them know how much you love them.  Tomorrow is not guaranteed.  She celebrated her 88th birthday on Monday and by Wednesday evening she was gone.  Don’t take tomorrow for granted.

Moleskin:   This was a fun one.  That PAX quickly figured out how to apply the brakes on that slide.  That thing would launch a little kid in the air.  Might be fun to watch at the anniversary party.  I would nominate my kid but I can’t swing the doctor bills after he is sent into orbit.  Shortcake joined us again and was like he never missed a beat.  Great work fellas.  Thanks for letting me lead.

Pledge and COT

Announcements: YHC had to split and could not stick around for annoucements and devo.  Major Dad handled this responsibility.  Thank you sir!

Moleskin:   YHC had the EH on Cheech heavy over the last several weeks.  Cheech made a deal with me.  If I picked up 2 consecutive Q’s he would be at both of them.  He held up his end of the deal this morning.  His thought process was if its going to suck for him its going to suck for me also.  Bob the Builder has a weird infatuation with Captain D’s.  Said “its the best seafood in Charleston and is only slightly inferior to Long John Silver’s.”  I am not sure what he drank Sunday night but it is clearly impacting his Monday conversations.  Heads up to anyone Qing out at Tectonic.  That is a dark neighborhood.  Please have reflective gear if you are leaving the AO.  YHC had a head lamp and Nox Gear vest and several cars passed us and didn’t even hit the brakes.  Thank you for allowing me to lead gentleman.

NOTE: YHC began treatment for cancer this week with a schedule of 30 rounds of radiation +3 rounds of chemo; thus the theme for the workout…
It was decided that an extra shot of Q Juice into the chemical mix might be an extra boost… it was!!

The weather was mild and dry with temperatures in the mid 60s

3 warmups – BAC x30, DQ x30, SSH x30

THANG: 3 exercises inside 30 – Began 30 squat-thrusts; paused on the 10th one to do 20 merkins; then continued with another pause at 20 to do 30 mountain climbers; finished to 30 squat-thrusts.
Woody led the PAX around the farmhouse while YHC regained composure.
Performed 3 rounds of Ussein Bolt with a twist: whatever exercise was called by the runner, the remaining PAX had to do 30 reps with runner joining in as he returned. (Note of thanks to Cold Cut who took over the last round with a reverse Bolt when YHC had a surprise chemo merlot)

MARY – 30 Xs & Os, 30 mosquito crunches

Moleskin: A special thank you to Woody and Cold Cut for picking up the Q when YHC fell out due to illness… Everyone worked extra hard and were very supportive during the struggles

Devo – YHC related a story where Picasso’s health situation directly led to a physical that found Peaches’ cancer early. The message is to get your physical and stay healthy before problems develop.
