5 plus the Q for a Murph-ish type workout……..with two additional who modified!
Since the Q was trying to avoid all the construction in and around the Birkdale area he was left with limited options. This was time when you had to dig deep and lean on being creative. Then, came the perfect moment. The Master Q (Gnarly Goat) broke his silence and mentioned how shocked he was at the lower than expected attendance since today was the Murph. That was it…….the plan came together as the little “creative” lightbulb went off in the Q’s head (sound the Vincent Price laughter).
Without saying a word we ran down to the movie theater and proceeded to warm-up. As expected, Blackbeard was in normal form and the banter started after just one warmup exercise.
Once the warm-up was completed we ran to the other end of Birkdale near Victoria Secrets where we did Merkins x 10ic / LBC’s x 20ic / Squats x 15ic. From there we ran back to the theater area and did the same three exercises. At this point MacBeth had a look on his face and he was starting to sense something fishy was going on. Could it be ????? But, the lack of pull-ups had the boy baffled. After several more rounds of running back & forth doing Merkins, squats with changing out the AB exercise……..all the boys came to their senses. But Chilly Willy just hunkered down, remained quiet and accepted the unexpected beatdown.
Ironically 10 sets and running back & forth ended up right at the 2 mile mark while hitting 200 merkins, 300 squats and 400 AB exercises for a Murph-ish workout.
But wait…….there is more. As we were in mid workout…….out of the dark gloom we had a Soprano/Bel-Air sighting. Soprano with ruck in tow and his arm in a sling…….was getting his work done (extremely impressed to see this). Bel-Air who was nursing a very sore ankle still showed up and kept pace with Soprano for an equally impressive effort.
As always boys…..you inspire me every day. For that……I say thank you.
Thanks to the Gnarly one for allowing me to Q.
Keep Shake and his family in your prayers as his mother in law was laid to rest today.
