Introduction
No official Pre-blast…but we all started rolling in to the AO around 5:05. CK was there early, as usual, scouting the area like the great siteQ that he is! Temps were great. 5:13 … I don’t think the Q is coming. CK and I arm wrestled over who got to be siteQ and who had to Q. He won… so I will Q today!
Gave the disclaimer. Recited the 5 core principals. Let’s warm up!

The Thang
Thang 1 – Modified Pearls / 4 Corners / Whatever you want to call it.
As requested by One Eye Willy (kinda) we all participated in calling out this Thang.
Corner 1 – One Eye Willy called for Shoulder Taps. Did 15 IC on his call. Mosey to Corner 2.
Corner 2 – Sonny Bono called for Burpees. (Mistake) We did these IC x 10. Then OEW led Shoulder Taps IC x 10. Mosey to Corner 3.
Corner 3 – Rx called for Bonnie Blairs. We did 10 of these, the hard way. On Rx’s down. Then Sonny led us in 10 Burpees IC and OEW Shoulder Taps IC x 10. Mosey to Corner 4.
Corner 4 – CK called for Flutter Kicks IC x 10. Bonnie Blairs IC x 10 (Rx). Burpees IC x 10 (Sonny). Shoulder Taps IC x 10 (OEW). This is where things got weird. I decided to take a detour instead of finishing the rectangle. So, we moseyed over by the baseball field for Corner 5?
Corner 5 – Columbus called for Hand Release Merkins IC x 10. Flutter Kicks IC x 10 (CK). Bonnie Blairs IC x 10 (Rx). Burpees IC x 10 (Sonny). Shoulder Taps IC x 10 (OEW). Moseyed back to the parking lot. Stopping around the first island.
51 Air Squats on my down. GOOD FORM. (I loved seeing everyone’s face when I called ‘down’ after the 50th rep…little mind F action there!)
Mosey back to coupons.
Thang 2 – Vicious Circle
Set up coupons in between two islands. Get into Indian Run formation. PAX in back would run into the middle to perform 30 Coupon Chest Press. (Big Boy Coupon encouraged) Then run to the front of the line. Cycle through until everyone had a chance to do the Chest Press.
Intermission – Run to the stairs, up the stairs, find a spot on a bench.
- 10 Dips on my down
- 10 Derkins on my down
- 10 Step-Ups on my Up
Run back to coupons.
Get into Indian Run formation. PAX in back runs to the middle to perform 15 Bent Over Rows (Big Boy Coupon encouraged). When done, run to the front of the line. Cycle through until everyone had a chance to do the Bent Over Rows.
Circle Up. We did 30 Coupon Curls taking turns calling “UP”. Each PAX called out 5 reps. We didn’t screw this up too badly…

CoT
I told the PAX a quick story. A story about how many of us find ourselves lost or unsure during anniversary, birthday’s, etc. when it comes to our M’s. This time I decided to be straight forward with my M and I asked her straight up what she would like as a gift. She told me that “Nothing would make me happier than a diamond necklace.” So, I got her nothing. 😊
In all seriousness though, sometimes getting something for our M’s or anyone else for that matter, can be tough. There is a lot of pressure associated with anniversary dates or birthdays or other special occasions. I sometimes don’t like the feeling of it being ‘expected’ either. Instead, I prefer to do random surprises or drop ins for my M. For example, at some point today, she will have flowers delivered to her. I know that she will be surprised. There isn’t really a reason or a significant event that caused this, but rather a certain spontaneity that I think she will appreciate. My suggestion to the PAX this morning, do the little things. Be spontaneous. Whether it by flowers for your M…taking your kids to the park unexpectedly, or any other little fun thing…just do it. They will appreciate it and the feeling that you have seeing their joy will make it worth it for you too.

This was a fun Q. I am glad One Eye Willy suggested we all get involved. This is ‘adult recess’ after all…why not have some fun with it? I had a few different ideas going through my head as we were going through thang 1. The possibilities are endless here at Two Wolves. I appreciate the PAX giving it their best and having some patience as we figured out exactly what it was we were going to do!
Prayers for CVS and his M. Hope all is well.
