Following the arrows…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy to the front of GHMS for imperial walkers, mountain climbers, and Moroccan night clubs.
THE THANG: After the warmup proceeded toward Dave Gibson blvd and stopped at the first working street light for the shortest round of sevens. (Daylight savings time limited the number of working street lights). Pax lined up on one side of the street for 1 Mike Tyson, then bear crawled across the road for 6 big boy sit-ups. We then bear crawled back to the start for a rinse and repeat count up/count down until we did 6 Tysons and 1 big boy sit-up.
We then ran down the road to the entrance of the elementary school. On the length of the street are three columns of arrows to direct school traffic to the elementary and middle schools. We ran down the turn lane until the arrows ended and then started our journey back. At each arrow in the column the Pax did five burpees (45 total) before returning to the starting point.
Moving on to the center column of arrows, we ran down and headed back with 10 LBCs (120 total) at each. Rinse and repeat down the final column where we did Merkins (80) on the way back to start. Round two consisted of Dips (90), Squats (120), overhead claps (80).
MARY: Short on time we ran back to COT for < 1 minute of full body destroyers. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming CSAUPSand volunteer opportunities. COT: Health: Family, friends, Pax, coworkers. Mental health and those around us who are impacted.

Your MILGA is showing

Leave a comment

What a wonderful day in the MILGAhood. This being my first visit and q to Colosseum, I aimed to disappoint. The workout was this

– poles on the back of the school. increase rep count by 1 at each pole then return to start. Burpee Merkin Squat is taking the fort by storm
– found the only set of accessible steps on the entire west side. The count was however many leaps it took to get to the top by each pax. Average was 3 leaps. Some folks (Bandcamp) were jackasses and took 9. First excersice was burpees, then after everyone went we did dips
– then went to the court for broadjumps as our rep count. average was 4. step ups was the excersice until all pax had jumped
– lunge walk and bear crawl back to cot for 5 minutes of mary

Yes, i made pretty much all of this up as we went. I like to live dangerously like that.

Work from the Bird:
We all need prayers. Its not selfish to ask someone to pray for you. Don’t think you always need to pray for someone else. That’s a great thing, but you need to be right also. Work on that vertical relationship. Gotta get you right so you can help others. I’m asking for prayers for me. Send me all the love you got right now and ask Gods help too. I challenge you all to be bold and pick someone in COT to pray for. Even if they don’t ask for it. I GUARANTEE it will make their entire day having that power.
