Lack of Oxygen Edition

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The morning started out rough as my cadence count was a bit off for around the 15th SSH. Then again with Windmills and Imperial Walkers. Made it through the Hillbilly Walkers okay though. I must be really out of practice.
THE THANG: We did a modified Dora where one partner started did squats while the other partner ran the parking lot triangle and at the 2nd corner did 20 merkins. We did that x 4 rounds. The next round was calf raises and the running partner did 20 Bobby Hurleys for 2 rounds. Then we went to do 4 corners with 25 burpees (a requirement b/c @slaptshot is the Site Q, then bear crawl the to next corner and did 25 squats, then at the 3rd corner did 25 merkins and ended at the 4th corner with 25 big boys. We did LBC’s until the 6 finished.
MARY: We got into plank and did 20 shoulder taps, held low plank for about 1 minute, rotated to high plank and did left and right arm high for about another minute and then time was called just before we went back down for low plank again.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Packet pickup is tomorrow at the Print Shop for D2D Bar 10k.
COT: Prayers for mental and physical healing of those all around us. Happy 10th Birthday to Eggo tomorrow.

Next, mosey to the wall in the back parking lot. Dora (merkins, squats, LBCs) , partner 1 performed exercises while partner 2 ran to wall and performed 2 muscle ups. Quick break to discuss Word of the Year.
Next, moseyed to the front of the school. Using the parking spaces, we lunged walked the length of the lot, stopping at every other line for 10 squats. Repeat but replaced exercises with crawl bear and Carolina Dry Docks.
Finished up with a mosey back to COT stopping at every other light pole for a exercise.
Prayers for the schools, job opportunities, and travel.

WARMUP: Suggested stretching and warmup prior to start. No warmup, was feeling spicy.

THE THANG: The objective, soak up an hour with mileage and quality mumble-chatter.

– Run WEP track, 5 burpees at each swing set, plank at atrium.

– Run to parking lot wall in front of Pharmacy. Omaha, decided on a Webb that consisted of muscle ups, followed by alternating heels up to wall ledge, then a merkin. Went up to 5 and 20, plenty.

– Ran to Loom parking lot; 5/10/15 merkin,irkin,derkin followed by broad jumps, rinse and repeat.

– Ran to intersection of of academy and withers. 4 corners: up to Baptist church parking lot, forest st, up the hill, back to loom. 5/10/15 shoulder tap, squats, mtn climber w 3 burpees at intersection.

– Right on schedule, ran to WEP playground for 7s, pull-ups w/ jump squats. Pointed to stranger as our jump squat location, more or less at 4th tree, debate ensued and we were off. Couple rounds in, @darkhelmet and @toto shared words of affection.

With time surprisingly left, decided to go with a quarter pounder.

– 5 trees more or less 25 years apart. Suicides reps of 25/50/75/100. Thinking quickly called shoulder taps, mtn climbers, Freddie mercuries, and calf raises.

– back to COT for Mary

COT: Shared praise on patience, you’re either going in, in the middle, or coming out of something , trust in God during every season, it won’t last forever.

Cardio & A Little Failure

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Run to the bottom of the first hill on Hubert Graham.
Wind Mills, Low Slow Squats, More Wind Mills
10 Burpees
THE THANG:
NUR 1/2 way back up the hill
Fixed Leg Lunges x 10ea leg
Run back down for 100 Calf Raises
NUR 1/2 way back up
Dips on the guardrail until failure. BTW, Senator took charity on the rest of us and stopped once we failed but he had some left. So, as a group, we did more.
Run around the back of the school to the parking lot on the far right side.
Bear crawl from island to island with 10 Diamond Merkins every other parking space line.
Mike Tysons on the curb until failure.
Crawl bear back to the starting point with 10 Mountain Climbers every other line.
Sprint to the entrance of the playground, 5 Burpees, sprint back. As I mentioned to the PAX, this is where I almost splashed, at my own Q.
LBC’s to failure.
This is where I had a moment of transparency with the PAX. You see, if I were here by myself, I would have absolutely quit on myself and not done what I had written down. I told the PAX what was written and with that spoken, we did it and it wasn’t that bad. We sprinted (or ran) back to the playground entrance.
Sucking wind, we did a long set of heels to Heaven but the legs never came down.
Run to the front lot for a set of suicides with a few Burpees at the end for good measure.

MARY: Performed throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2DB…quit delaying and sign up. Tell your friends, too.
COT: It happened.
