5Alive on a rainy day

Preamble:

The day before I glanced at the weather and initial glance showed clear skies, but upon further review/correction from Janeway, it was found it was going to be a rainy wet morning ITG.  So the plan was to meet at the Dawsonville Farmers Market, when the morning came I was able to sneak into the park, but somehow the gate closed after me, so I then had to mosey to the farmers market grabbing the Java and speaker to prep for the BD, that ended up starting a minute or 2 late, but the PAX were there ready to go, finally it was time to start the festivities

Warm-O-Rama:

No mosey required, except for me since I now had my car stuck in the park. Dohhh!
Disclaimer given
Warn up time was begun
SSH
Weed pickers
Hillbillies
Copperhead squats
Windmills
Moroccan Night clubs

We were under the farmers market pavilion, so no mosey needed, on to the Thang

The Thang:

Thang1
It was time to introduce a new thang that I created, I named to 5 alive, or it could be called 5 by 5, here is the jest of it
Do 5 reps of 5 types of merkins
5 regular merkins, 5 wide merkins, 5 diamond merkins, 5 ranger merkins, 5 hand released merkins
Mosey to the end of the pavilion, then Bernie Sanders back to the start
Do 5 reps of 5 types of leg exercise
5 squats, 5 jump squats, 5 lunges, 5 reverse lunges, 5 bonnie blairs
Mosey to the end of the pavilion, then Bernie Sanders back to the start
Do 5 reps of 5 types of ab exercises
5 LBCs, 5BBSU, 5 WW2 situps, 5 leg raises,I forgot the original 5^th exercises so, for this round we substituted 5 JLos
Mosey to the end of the pavilion, then Bernie Sanders back to the start

Mosey to the end of the pavilion, then Bernie Sanders back to the start
Do 5 reps of 5 types of ab exercises
5 LBCs, 5BBSU, 5 WW2 situps, 5 leg raises,I remembered this time, 5 V-Ups/Y-Ups
Mosey to the end of the pavilion, then Bernie Sanders back to the start

Once I got the exercise correct we did 2 rounds so 3 rounds total

With that done, I had one more thing to help the PAX feel more “alive”
Hold low plank for 1minute
Hold Horse stance squat for 1 minute
Hold leg raise at about 45 degrees for 1 minute
I may add more time but that got the 5 Alive experience to a satisfying completion,
I like the concept of 5 alive and will use again, possibly changing some of the exercises, but it is always fun to create workouts to help push us all to get better/stronger.

Round of Mary
Suarez called 5 controlled merkins (5 PAX, 5 alive, 5 controlled merkins, could there be a pattern here)
Who? called windshield wipers
Janeway called Rosalitas
SirMixalot called Carolina Dry Docks
We finished off with 25 American Hammers
Well done to the PAX that made it out in the rain, and got it done

COT:

Acceleration Point
This past weekend my oldest 2.0 had to be taken to the ER due to a burn she got from a grease fire, and while we were there the doctor gave her some ointment to help heal the burn but in the process of putting the ointment on her pain level went to 9, and that made me think about how sometimes when healing begins, the pain/grief level can/will be high but once the pain, that only last for a short time, subsides healing will occur, her pain level is 2 or 3 now.  So think that at time pain my occur but on the other side of that pain, as we work on healing the relationship, or anything else, it will get better and we will be stronger and wiser.

Ended with a prayer and time for the pic and the coffee

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Who had to head out but we were able to get a picture before he had to go.
Beeline strolled in and joined us for coffeeteria, let us know that he is almost ready to return to F3, after his ACL surgery, and I am looking forward to having him back but him coming out to join us for coffee is always great.

Another great morning ITG, and looking forward to the next BD/chance to hang out with these HIM
