10 Pax came to Iron Horse this morning to practice counting. Temperature was in the low 60s. With a nearly-full moon settling toward the horizon on one side, and a sunrise starting to happen over the mountains on the other side, the field seemed like a good place to lie down and stare at the morning sky. We decided to exercise instead.

YHC noticed around 5pm Friday that the calendar was open. A shout out to the AOQ was met with him being in DC- some sort of walk in the park or something. A post on the channel to see if anyone wanted it received a heaping helping of crickets. So, I dug from my vast Q history (of 4) and found one to quickly recycle. A quick change of exercises, and we were ready to go. Pax numbered off into 2 groups to spread the love across the stations. Each group was sent to a separate station on the field for some Elevens work. The stations were:
- Legs – Squats and Skater hops/side lunges: Begin with 1 Squat at 1st Run to 2nd cone and do 10 skater hops or side lunges (R,L=1). Return to 1st cone and do 2 squats. Run to 2nd cone and do 9 skater hops/lunges
- Continue this by adding 1, squat each time and subtracting 1 2-count skater hop each time until you get to 10 squats and 1 skater/lunge
- Abs – Dead bugs & American Hammers– Begin with 1 Dead bug (4ct=1) at 1st cone; Run to 2nd cone and do 10 American Hammers (4ct=1); Return to 1st cone and do 2 Dead bugs; Run to 2nd cone and do 9 American Hammers
- Continue this by adding 1, 4-ct Dead bug each time and subtracting 1, 4-ct American Hammer each time until you get to 10 Bugs and 1 Hammer
- Upper Body – Merkins and Hand-release Merkins (borrowed from the Mucho Chesto workout I did in MB on vacation)– Begin with 1 Merkin at 1st cone; Run to 2nd cone and do 10HR Merkins; Return to 1st cone and do 2 Merkins; Run to 2nd cone and do 9 HR Merkins.
- Continue this by adding 1 Merkin each time and subtracting 1 HR Merkin each time until you get to 10 Merkins and 1 HR Merkin
Once a station was completed, Pax rotated to the next one. When all 3 stations in the field were completed, Pax moseyed to bottom of Tombstone for a “Bonus Round”. Since this was so fun last time, I decided to leave it unchanged
- Mountain climbers and Burpees- Begin with 1 Mountain climber (4-ct) at bottom; Run to top and do 10 Burpees; Return to bottom and do 2 Mountain ClimberS; Run to top and do 9 Burpees.
- Continue this by adding 1 Mountain Climber and subtracting 1 Burpee each time until you get to 10 Mountain Climbers and 1 Burpee
If this was finished before time was called, Pax return to field and go back to one of the 1st 3 stations for another round- as with the last time, Pax got choice of where to start the new round.
Mary: No Mary today- we have done enough.

Moleskin: Because telling people to exercise is my day job, I don’t jump on the Q calendar as often. Also, because my weekdays usually require me to leave early, I usually have to sign up for a Saturday. To be honest, if I am not doing a solo workout, I am much more interested in seeing what other people put together for group workout. However, sometimes circumstances require something a little different. When the calendar was open, I figured I’d jump in and take the lead instead of sitting back. If you have been here for a while and still haven’t been on the Q, jump in!! Ask for help if you need to. If you haven’t been on the Q in a while, jump back in!! Partly because it would be cool to get more people on the calendar and see what everyone can bring to the table. Partly because it would mean I could go back to putting more time between my Qs. HAHAHA!!!
