Introduction
I signed for this Q about a month ago, not a lot of non run-club Q slots at the Outpost where available. Then I realized that March 19 is the feast day for my birth town, so the choice and theme was obvious.
For the workout, I came up with 5 different thangs, with the main one being a take on Handy Manny’s recent spelling out of the theme: so “St. Joes” work out would be it. I also like finding good, funny named exercises in the Exicon:)

About St. Joseph. Today is his feast day, and like I mentioned he is the patron saint of my birth hometown San Jose de la Boca, which along with a church celebration is a big cultural event for the town and it was my father’s favorite time to visit.
My message for you today is about the inspiration I receive from St. Joseph through my father. It is the model to be a good father, husband, protector, and provider. See my dad was not a super religious man, but he was very devoted to St. Joseph. To him St. Joseph was the symbol of the man in a family. And he lived that. He was always there for us and led us and to a large extent my extended family to the US and inspired us to achieve the excel. He was successful in work, in business and in family. He has been gone for 10 years this month and I really miss him; his name was Margarito. May St. Joseph inspire us also to be best men we can be.
Prayers – ET had an interview scheduled for that afternoon, Waterfall is moving, also for several F3 Pax who have parents or in-laws with serious illnesses.

I arrived at 4:30, weather was awesome, dry with a good temperature to work out in.
Twin Peaks arrived first with his 15 year old son Daniel – soon to be known as El Capitan.
The rest of the PAX arrived in good order and we started the Q promptly at 5:15.
Forgot how to count cadence on the first warm-up but restarted and did better from then on:)
Had to change up the play list on the fly – I did not even notice but was told later*
PAX pushed each other pretty well, I was running on adrenaline:)
“Rhinestone is getting all BD on us”
Ken Doll did a nice job of site Qing!
We only got through 2 of the 5 Thangs, I guess I am ready for the next one.
Thank you to the men who joined the workout and giving it your all: Waterfall, Crop Duster, Rhinestone, Crab Legs, ET, Sweet Gerkins, Twin Peaks, Motown our FNG El Capitan, and especially our site Q Ken Doll for his excellent work. It was a pleasure to lead you.
