Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
We spent most of our time challenges that @Mainframe “could have accomplished 20 years ago.”
Notes: @Peta needs a side career doing voice overs
@Joe Lyons (F3 Long Duck) is actually from GA, which makes the bulldog thing understandable
@Slapshot and @fishstix stayed towards the 6 to make YHC feel like the workout was challenging
@SouptoNuts brought a co-worker (Joe Blow) along to commiserate. He name dropped @Royale_F3
@photobomb and @Badlands were psychic on the lack of running and got more in on their own. For an extra fee, they’ll do tarot card readings
@Sprocket is considering building a company based around puzzles of Mark Rothko paintings
@Shady & @Esso seemed enamored with how many picnic benches you can fit under an awning
Kept it light on running as recovering from giving blood apparently takes me a long while. Spent a lot of time on mobility and leg exercises. And hey, you can learn a lot on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuLyss7FkFc
The pistol squats after a ton of lunge walking pissed guys off. 🙂
WARMUP: Plank-updog-downdog-merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-shoulder taps; Plank-updog-downdog-peter parker; Plank-updog-downdog-plank jacks; Plank-updog-downdog-diamond merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-other variety of dynamic plank work and so on and so on
THE THANG: Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x10 — a little extra Mary mixed in.
Mosey to the apartments- complete dynamic warmup including hamstring sweeps, walking RDLs, deep lunge walks, toy soldiers, high knees, butt kicks; BACKWARDS sprints up the hill towards the fire station x4; Last sprint was a challenge- each pax had to surpass their previous stopping point before tagged by YHC, otherwise the group was subject to an unknown penalty (probably burpees)… no one will ever know because the threat of penalty motivated everyone to sprint backwards that much faster!
We discussed THE IMPORTANCE OF RUNNING BACKWARDS at COT. If you’re getting some miles in with your fellow pax and they’re dogging it for whatever reason, it’s important to be able to run backwards faster than they’re progressing forwards, look them in the eyes, and say whatever motivating (or demeaning) statement to give them a kind gut check! SkateOrDie knows this too well from YHC.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres tonight!
COT: Beaker’s son turns 4 today. Prayers for physical and mental illness among the pax. Prayers/praise for Halfshell’s boys heading to camp.

All veterans so quick disclaimer, run to back for 7 HR merkins, 17 morracan night clubs, and 23 SSHs. I decided last night to just keep it simple and use the date. Run to gravel lot, 7 squats, 17 overhead claps, and 23 seal jacks. Run to Toastery, 7 HR merkins, 17 MNCs, and 23 SSHs. Run to bank lot in front of Walmart.
I wanted to keep everyone somewhat together before turning loose the speedsters (Tesla, Fishy). Keeping with the date, did 7 bombjacks in bank lot, run down to traffic circle, 7 merkins, back up to bank lot. Repeat with 17, 20, and 23 reps. Pick up the 6 since time was almost up. Make our way back to COT with the same stops on the way back.
Pretty hot out in the gloom right now but I appreciate all the guys coming out and pushing it this morning. Thanks Badlands for the opportunity!
