Body by Badlands

After a week of living the beach life for spring break, I was a bit unsure how my body would react to resuming physical activity.

WARMUP: a few Pax did a pre-run of about 2.25 miles from Earthfare down to Richard’s Crossing and back.

Fishstix grabbed his Ruck so that Flounder would not be solo.

THE THANG:
Head towards gold hill middle school via Dave Gibson – stopped 3 times:

1) Plank – up/down dog – merkins IC – MtnClimbers IC

(this is point where Bandcamp began questioning in his head if I actually had a plan or was just winging it)

2) Al Gore – seated MNCs IC – Squats IC

(this is point where Bandcamp verbalized his previous thoughts)

3) LBCs IC

(this is point where I started winging it just a little bit)

Moseyed to bottom of Athletic Fields entrance to Gold Hill Middle (hill with lightposts)

run to light pole 1 and do 5x merkins, LBCs, Squats. return to beginning light pole.

run to light pole 2 and do 10x merkins, LBCs, Squats. return to beginning light pole.

increase reps by 5 through the 5th light pole where 25 reps were completed.

(this is point where I kinda winged it)

Original plan was to make it to 6th pole for 30 reps but YHC could barely make it through the 25 reps without breaking so modification necessary- starting at bottom do 5x reps of same exercises at all lightpoles in run up the hill (7 lightpoles)

(this is point where I totally winged it)

Mosey back to middle school with a stop at the basketball court for some Bobby Hurleys.

Head back toward CoT with 3 stops:
1) Wide arm Merkins
2) Sumo Squats
3) Freddy Mercuries IC

Arrived back at CoT with just less than 3 minutes to spare

MARY:
Wide arm Merkins IC, Sumo Squats IC, Freddie Mercuries IC, Plank

Rainmaker, but no Raun

five men showed up at Varsity for a rainless workout.
We started with a short mosey down to the elementary school for warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills). Next, some dynamic stretching: Knees to chest, lunge walker, jog, butt kickers, reverse lunges.
Next, merkin clock. Plank position, Q called out a time, moved to the hour and performed merkins.
Mosey back to the High School. 7s at the bus line, squats at the bottom, CCDs at the top, and run between stops.
three rounds of dips and derkins, 10 count reps
Back to the shovel flag, run to each light post, perform an exercise. First round – Squats, Second round – LBCs, and Third round – Burpees, all 10 count.
Back to COT.
