Pyramid on a string

Leave a comment

3 started out “bad idea” Saturday with a pre-run at 530. Rolloff shot for the stars (collusseum) and landed on the moon (IR). Fishstix decided a pre- ruck would be in his best interest (expected the Q to bring a moderate).

Rain started picking up right at 630

WARMUP: disclaimer and yog up near pullup bars. Settle in under the cedar tree like a bunch of wild animals trying to stay out of the rain. IC exercises including 16 reps of SSH, WM, IW, MNC, Shoulder taps, Mtn Climbers

THE THANG: Run to windjammer park and back with stops every 1/4 mile for squats and merkins – pyramid style. Al Gore until 6 gets in then begin exercises reps- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5

Added 10 burpees at windjammer park for good measure

MARY: more burpees, MNC, IWs etc

ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter

COT: yup

Lots of 6-7 references this morning – fishstix is wondering what the kids are gonna do when they learn about 6-9. It was that kind of morning…

Leave a comment

We did a little warmup with the usual exercises. I proceeded to introduce the topic for thought. What costume are you wearing? Are you being an imposter?

Mosey over to the first stop for some 4 corners. 3 exercises then a lap around the parking lot. Kinda went like this merkins, mtn climbers, shoulder taps 10,15,20. Take a lap. Squats, monkey humpers, calve raises 10,15,20. Take a lap. LBCs, American hammers, flutters 10,15,20. Take a lap. Side straddle hops, over head claps,Moroccan night clubs 10,15,20. Take a lap. Mosey to the next spot behind Lowe’s. Rail work with dips, irkens, derkins with a bear crawl across lot. Headed to the wall for some sitting and merkins. Back to COT for the finale. Wrapped it up with we should be putting on the full armor of God and not covering ourselves up with costumes. Eph. 6:12-24
