Just another case of the Mondays. 13 of us showed up to get better, including another FNG from Bones named Adam. We walked him through the disclaimer and then set out to do our warm-up.
Warm-up – quick mosey over to the parking lot in front of office depot and did some quick drills on the parking lines:
- Run up the lines, side shuffle right, back pedal down line, side shuffle right – repeat all the way down the parking row. Once you finish, you run around the island and then did #2
- Turn 90 degrees and do the same thing, so this time you’re doing a side shuffle right for the longer line, back pedaling to the next line behind you, and side shuffling left. Again, full length, run around the island and then we turned to go hit the real work.
Simple = Hard: that was the motto, so we did exactly that, we ran about a 1/4 mile down 49 to the corner of 49 and 160 and did our first set –
- 30 side straddle hops (in cadence – so call it 60) / 15 merkins (in cadence – so 30) / 8 burpees OYO
Started running again, about another 1/4 mile and pulled over on the grass for the second set –
- 45 side straddle hops (in cadence – 90 kind of sucks) / 23 merkins (in cadence) / 12 burpees OYO
Started running again, about another 1/4 mile, maybe a little more, got in front of Michael’s / Pier One, etc and did the third set:
- 60 side straddle hops (in cadence – yeah, 120 left me not being able to count as I had no air left) / 30 merkins (in cadence – we stopped half way through to shake it out then finished strong) / 16 burpees OYO
Started running again to the end of the building we were at (in front of Kohl’s), peeled off and did the next set:
- 15 jump lunges (15 per side) / 15 jump squats / 15 mountain climbers
Kept running, pulled over by the Suntrust bank and did the next:
- 30 jump lunges (30 per side) / 30 jump squats / 30 mountain climbers
Ran to Buffalo Wild Wings and partnered up for….
- Partner pushes – partner 2 has his arms on partner 1’s shoulders, is resisting and backing up as slow as they can while partner 1 pushes them. Each partner did one set the full length of the parking lot
- Wheel barrows – same, each partner did one rotation the full length of the parking lot
Run to the parking lot in front of Pet Smart and do the last set:
- No more walking – sprint the length of the parking lot from island to island, jog the width, sprint the next parking lot length, jog, sprint, jog, finish w/ a sprint right in front of best buy and then head to COT.
Final count was 2.3 miles, 270 side straddle hops, 136 merkins, 36 burpees, 45 jump lunges, 45 jump squats, 45 mountain climbers and some partner pushes / wheel barrows. Nice little day at the office for the 13 who showed up to get better. Appreciate you guys being there to encourage each other. Welcome FNG Shake N Bake (Adam)! DaVinci had his first respectable name-o-rama which I’m proud to say was at my Q! It was the loudest “RESPECT” I’ve heard to date.
