Partners, Light poles and Blimps

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to the side of the school for exercises in cadence:
Windmills
Cherry pickers
Imperial walkers
Hillbilly walkers
Seal jacks
Side straddle hops

THE THANG: part 1 – partner up and either people’s chair or BTTW while partner 2 runs to the end of the lot and back. 3 rounds

Part 2 – Blimps at the light poles

At each pole pax added an exercise on the way up and dropped one on the way down. Burpees were never dropped – just because

5 – Burpees
10 – Lunges
15 – Incline Merkins
20 – Merkins (Modified to CDD’s on the downhill portion)
25 – Pulse squats AKA Monkey jumpers
30 – Squats

Two lessons from Seneca shared at the top of the hill

1 – we suffer more in our imagination than in reality

2 – he who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.

How often in our lives do we let our perception of events influence us poorly? Our response is all we control – the event doesn’t care how we feel about it.

After 11 light poles worth of “fun”……back to COT

MARY: Just enough time for protractors and rosalitas with just a few hello dolly’s. That took pax to 0715
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the call, Float Bridge. Honored to lead. :eye:

Thrillmas In July

Leave a comment

Twas the day after the 4th and all through the Yard not a creature was stirring except 7 pax who wanted to work out hard.

Drop Thrill was on Q and had a devious plan. There was too much shoulder work for Ruby to stand.

On Grogu on Ruby on Float Bridge on Harry, on Dojo on Rumbling Bald things are getting quite scary!

The Pax were quite quick and just in time, finished the twelfth day and complained about burpees and boy did they whine.

Thrill being a wise old elf, finally let the pax breathe in spite of himself.

As he rode out of sight, the Pax swore they could hear him shout : Happy Thrillmas in July and to all, a good night!
