Touchdown!

Thanks Slapshot for letting me Q the morning after Penn State season opener that didn’t end till after midnight…at least we WON! So seeing that football season is here, incorporated some of my son’s HS football training into the weinke.

COP: SSH (Bonasi was shocked this was the first exercise), windmills, IW, LSS. Counts were in touchdown points.

Still in COP, crowd favorite: Up / Downs

Mossy to HT side wall, wall sits while PAX sprint to O’Reilys building and complete 1 burpee.

Mossy to back of Express Oli for 10 steps up per leg

Mossy to bottom of road to Evolve Apartments. Run the hill to Tega Cay Drive 6 times (points for a touchdown), and for extra point, ran the grass hill.

Round of Flutters and leg raises

Another round of Up / Downs

Score was tied with 2 minutes left, ran the hill 3xs.

Round of Merkins

Mossy to back of O’Reilys for 10 more step ups, 14 irkins, 7 derkins

Mossy to wall for repeat wall sit/burpees

Mossy to COT for last round of Up / Downs and abs lead by Bonsai and Skipper (I think)

Thanks for oportunity!

Running … into trees

It was hot and humid, first day all year as such.
We ran.
Some ran 3.4 miles.
At least one ran 5.5 miles.
At least one ran into a tree (it’s not a laughing matter)
At least one hung out by the bank and smoked Marlboro Reds (rumor has it)

Get off my lawn!

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

Longest 11 ever

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Downdog
THE THANG:
Mosey to the school for a round of 11’s.
Breakdance merkins(double count) on one side.
Crunchy frogs(in cadence) on the other side.
Distance between points was approximately 0.2mi.
No one got through all 11. Maybe it was too far?

Thanks for the opportunity to come run with the high performance HIM’s of the Fort. I’m always impressed by the showing and the effort laid down.
