At 5:26 Cool Hand Luke, Doubtfire, and myself were standing by the F3 flag wondering where everyone was……..And and worrying that today’s post could quickly turn into a “Quimby” if it was just us 3. (Thanks to Juicy for finding the alternative definition)
But they came. On bikes, in minivans, and by foot. There was some mumble chatter…….and just before we were about to mosey around the school….we saw an image coming toward us from the far parking lot. Was it Zartan? No, he went collecting more bourbon at the O and stayed for the pedicure…..was it Country Boy? No, he “pulled a Scratch” and hit the PM button on that tricky iphone…..was it Juicy? No, looks like he’s bailed after 2 posts……then who was it??? As the glowing image got closer and closer….we quickly saw that the HIM gliding towards us under the star lit gloom was Screee-effing-eeech!!!!! Boom! it’s officially ON!

Quick Prelude-
I visited the poshlands on Wednesday with Quimby, Zartan, and Old Bay. We quickly learned 2 things:
1. It’s just easier out there.
2. 100 SSH is a thang.
COP
100 SSH – Closest thing we had to the century club for this pre party. Mutt PAX were. groaning while Old Bay and Quimby Just nodded and winked. Screech could’ve done 200.
Some ab work with Homer, Marge, and Mr. Buuuuuuuuurns
10 Slow Abe Vigodas to stretch
Plank, downward dog, and stretch – we’re gonna need it
Thang 1
Break up into 4 groups of 5 PAX. This took 15 minutes.
Run as a group down Leland stopping at each of the 5 light posts for 4 burpees. Reorganize into the 4 groups and Indian run down St. Matthews avenue and Up Brookfield with your group until we get back to the flag. Lot’s of encouragement, lots of helping one another, and lots of awesomeness. OB never leaves a man behind.
Thang 2
Screech has seen Bayside High School and Screech has hung at The Max… but he said he had never been to Snake Hill… So we took him.
Grab a partner. PAX1 does 5 incline merkins on the hill and then proceeds to bear crawl down the hill for 5 more merkins at the bottom and does a Bernie Sanders up the hill while PAX2’s teeth are chattering in fear while doing LBC’s. Swap out. Next time down you get to do the 5 incline merkins, then mosey down the hill for 5 more merkins, and then a sprint up the hill while your buddy is resting up top doing squats. Rinde and repeto 2 times each. Time for some Mary.
Mary
Get back into your groups of 5. High knees fire drill, followed by a face to face until you melt forearm plank challenge with your buddy, followed by 10 boo-ya! Merkins to congratulate your fellow HIM on a job well done.
COT
Screech said a few words thanking the PAX for their efforts to raise money for #samstrong, and was greatful for the support. Digiorno reminded everyone to come to Mellow Mushroom at 4:20 for some free Sweetwater 420 for 4 minutes and 20 seconds (not infinity) to get the night off to a good start. He asked the PAX to help out bussing tables, and reminded us of the face painting for the kids…and please turn your table over quickly if you can…… and be sure to mention #samstrong! Quimby updated us on the awesome bourbon raffle and encouraged more raffle sales. Reminded the PAX of the Convergence and St. John drive Saturday. We prayed for some folks, and thanked the good Lord for bringing us all together – to be better, get better, and cherish every moment.
See you in the Glow of Mellow Mushroom!
