Introduction

🔥🛠🔥 PREBLAST – THE OUTPOST – 5/12/21 5:15 🔥🛠🔥

@channel This has been one crazy week thus far.  I don’t know about you, but my legs have already taken a pounding so it is time to balance it out with an upper body / core focused beatdown.  There will be some crazy involved, but there will be no running and very little, if any, focus on the lower half.  If this sounds like something you need, join in the fun.  Come get stronger, get better…Come Get Some!  Coupons Required. 

Well, last Thursday, I was lucky to have seen the announcement of the Q sheet being opened for Lincoln Games and when I did I jumped into the Q sheet and grabbed the first one that was open, as the sheet was on fire – with names bouncing all over the cells as all tried to gobble up a Q spot to put 5 on the board for their team.  I hit it pretty hard Monday and Tuesday and knew, by the time my Q hit on Wednesday, that my legs would need a break.  So I planned the workout for today to include little to no legs and no running, with a focus on the upper body/core only.  With the routine set, I was planning on doing an early EC, but I did not get to bed until after 11 so my super early alarm was shut off to gain an additional 45 minutes of sleep.

I headed over the The Outpost and saw many PAX already getting after it with some early morning running, to pad their Lincoln Games stats.  I headed over to the field to setup, as I knew we were expecting a big crowd, and I needed some room.  Cones were positioned and I headed back to kick off the festivities.

After a quick round the horn of morning greetings, it was 5:15 and ready to rock.

Quick Closing Comment and Prayer – as I knew many PAX were still on the clock and had another EC activity they wanted to squeeze in before the workday started.  Gotta get those points!

I feel the PAX were itching for a leg relief day and I think I was right as we had our own mini-convergence this morning totaling 43 PAX. It was a cold day for May, with temps barely above freezing.  The grass was painted with dew – but that would not last for long.

We had a handful of PAX, complain about not properly warning them that we would be on grass – I will give you one guess who was one of them and I am pretty sure you would guess him.  As we broke from WoR, I threatened a bait and switch was at play and that we were going to be revisiting one of Small Cakes run clubs today with the coupon in tow.  However, I was a nice guy and stuck to my script.

It was a great morning and it was awesome to see so many PAX out and getting after it.

Everyone crushed it today.  Nice work men.  Until next time.
