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.

21s have short term memories

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH
Windmill
Low slow squats
Lil baby arm circles

THE THANG:
21s merkins and squats
Started at bottom of hill by light poles. Ran up hill to next light pole between sets. At 11 we turned around

For those who don’t know 21s, you start with 1 merkin and 1 squat. Work your way up to 21 each.

Pax were to fast so I had to make some stuff up on the fly to fill last 10 minutes.

Each pax grabbed a rock of medium size. Some pax don’t listen very well and they had to change.

Start on your back with rock at your waist. Arms extended. Raise rock over your head and touch it to the ground – 10

Toe touches – 10

Repeat those exercises with rep count of 8

Move up toward school to do some abs and 10 more merkins and squats.

Total of 240 merkins and squats for the day.

So Funhouse can stop crying…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Very little
THE THANG:
– To the pull up bars where we performed an idiot sequence of pullups one by one and some other exercises. Note for later, that didn’t really work.
– To the hill we all use entirely too much, but it’s a great hill, so why stop?
– Partner carries, wheelbarrows, running, bear crawling, all kinds of dumb stuff while we also ran around the back end through the neighborhood streets.
– One fake 10-count was involved
– Back to the parking lot for a fake Dora and then it was over…

MARY: No chicks.
