Day before D2D relay so decided to take it easy on legs. Quick disclaimer than slow jog around lot, back to start point for a few basic warm-ups. Then partner up for lazy dora: P1 does 10 merkins will P2 holds plank, switch back and forth until 100 total. 200 V-ups. P1 does 20 V-ups will P2 does 90 degree leg hold. Flapjack up to 200. 100 2 ct shoulder taps. P1 does 10 while P2 does 6 inch plank hold. Flapjack upto 100. 200 LBCs. P1 does 20 LBCs while P2 does 6 inch (10 degree) leg hold. Flapjack up to 200. Slow jog to behind Lowe’s. Using guardrail, 10 dips, 10 derkins, and 10 incline merkins. Jog to other end and repeat. Jog to side of lowes. 8 hand release merkins, 8 mtn climbers, 7,7,6,6…1,1 then jump back to 8 & 8 to finish. Lots of bitching on this one so I was happy. Jog over to Indian restaurant, 8 Flutters, 8 Hello Dollies, 7,7,6,6…1,1 then back to 8,8 to finish (legs never touch). Another crowd pleaser. Just a few mins left so back to COT for a few stretches.

Balls (as in Coors Light party balls) Room

I warned a select group that we would be “running”, in fact, I called it speed(ish) training. As we arrived and the wind was whipping through, I realized “sprints” on the football field were not in the cards for this young crowd.

On to plan B

Mosey around the school and down towards the gym, too cold, back up the hill, we tucked ourselves in against the building and did our token warm ups, I’m sure they were spectacular.

Mosey on down to the other school (less windy).

We did some exercises and ran a bunch, some bear crawl, lots of squats, a few merkins. Ran some more. Calf raises. Ran some more.

Then came the Burpees, both of them, a total of 12 for the group, a few were questionable, Re: form. Claps were completed on 50% of them.

When you Q and it is cold out, keep the PAX warm, running would be the preference, as opposed to constant hugging, but you do you.

we logged 2.67 miles, officially, that is 3-ish or “3” depending on your math skills.

Chatter was had, primarily topics were Black Label, Stroh’s, Coors Light Party Balls, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, Meister Brau, PBR (was it always a craft beer?), Red, White & Blue, etc, etc.

Short Sale was a SC, but showed
Twister did not, some BS about “getting miles”
Consul did not even pretend he was on the invited text group
DOJO ran with Bass
Bass led the pack
Anchorman did the work after realizing this was not SlowBurn
Boogie Down is a stellar site Q

I heard it, and can’t unhear it … my Q was referred to as “a black diamond for old guys”

I appreciate the fill-in opportunity … or maybe … thanks for asking, if I came to mind in the top 10, I’m doing good.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow
