Q : Retweet
I arrived at 5:10 am (after waking up several times in the night full of anticipation) to survey the scene and enjoy the morning. One of the best things about Qing is the early arrival. It was chilly and beautiful. The first person I encountered was Connor Jugler- an FNG who was Eh’d by Unicycle.
At 5:30 am, I welcomed the PAX with the mission statement, 5 core principles, asked about FNGs (3 total) and reminded them that I am a semi-professional. I made a special effort to welcome Mufasa as it would appear that he has had little bit of a rough week.
We proceeded to take a quick jog up the road for Warm- A – Rama
• 15 SSH
• 15 Tappy taps
• 15 Sun Gods F/B
• Hamstring/hip flexor stretching
In Gator fashion -the question was then posed if anyone knew how many Cy Young award Nolan Ryan won in his career? Several Pax correctly answered zero.
• Nolan Ryan on the right/left x15
• Plank x 30 seconds x 3
At this point we learned that Mufasa is afraid of Amando.
Thang:
We proceeded to the bottom of the hill and divided into groups of 4. The Pax were instructed to bust it up the hill stopping hal- way to do 10 Merkins and then repeating 10 Merkins at the top before running back down. The pace was intense with a ton of encouragement to all.
Omaha was called at 6:01 and we returned to the parking lot to stretch and cool down. We ended with 33 American Hammers.

COT:
We all have times where we feel down or are the Sad Clown. The best ways I have found to beat this is to come to a workout. Even better – Q a workout! The anticipation and planning always leaves me full of energy both before and after leading. If you are in that place – get to a workout and get on the Q schedule!
6:15 – Prayer lead by T-Swift
What a great day!
Aye! Retweet
