Love Hurts at the Oak

Event Date

Feb 14, 2024

PAX


YHC loves themed Qs.  YHC is also the MQ of The Mighty Oak.  YHC noticed that Valentine’s Day fell on a Wednesday this year, and excitedly signed up to Q months ago.  YHC also forgot that this was the week of Olive’s annual Daytona 500.  At the urging of another MQ who assured me that other Pax like alternative options, I kept #TMO open and decided not to converge.  Thankfully, Elmers met me in the gloom and helped me avoid a sad V-day clown.  Here’s what went down:

WARM-O-RAMA:

Cue the perfectly curated 45 minute, 25 second ”love” themed playlist:

  • SST x 30 IC
  • Imperial Storm Trooper x 15 IC
  • Toy Soldier x 15 IC
  • Slippery Dip Can x 15 IC
  • Slow Windmill x 10 IC

THE THANG:

How convenient!  YHC had two brand new cinder blocks in the bed of my truck.  Time to roll out for the Pain Walk.  A mile loop through MacAulay carrying the blocks along the way, with various stops for exercises:

  • Slow Deep Squat x 15
  • The Curl x 15 IC
  • Overhead Press x 15 IC
  • Skull Crushers x 15 IC

Aww, look at that, we made a heart!  Back to launch where I gave Elmers the option – jog the mile loop again without the blocks, or a long hard Mary.  He chose Mary.

MARY:

  • LBC x 30 IC
  • Pretzel Crunch Right x 15 IC
  • Pretzel Crunch Left x 15 IC
  • Touch Dem Heels x 30 IC
  • Push Throughs x 30 IC
  • Suzanne Somers Right x 15 IC
  • Suzanne Somers Left x 15 IC
  • Pillow Talk Right x 15 IC
  • Pillow Talk Left x 15 IC
  • Freddie Mercury x 30 IC
  • Isometric Crunch x 20 Seconds

Recover, recover.

Thanks to Elmers for the company and great conversation this morning!
