Friday the 20th at the Stockade – clever title absent

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short “mozyroo” from the AO to the front of Harris Teeter.  YHC has been nursing a bum calf so no SSH were to be had.  We proceeded with  Carolina Dry Docks, Low Slow Squats, American Hammers, Mountain Climbers and Moroccan Night Clubs.
THE THANG:  Another short mozy to the side of HT.  At HT we did a group wall sit with the first Pax giving us a 10 count.  We then crossed the alley and did 5 merkins as a group.  When back to the HT wall we swapped out wall sits for planks.  Rinse and repeat with ongoing 10 counts and merkins (regular, hand release, Diamond, wide arm) alternating wall sits and planks.  After finishing these we did a lap around the oil change place with a brief stop for dips using the wall.  
 Back to HT for the same series but we swapped out merkins for 3 burpees.  Burpees included regular, Superman, Kraken and 8 count.  Repeat the lap (with dips) and back to HT.  Last series we swapped out burpees for 5 big boy sit-ups.
 Mozy to the fountain at the bottom of the hill by the fire dept.  There we did a plank clock with Carolina Dry Docks.  We started at 1:00 and did one CDD.  Plank walk to 2:00 for two CDDs.  Kept going until we did a full fountain lap and 78 total CDDs.
 Briefest mozy ever to the start of the row of arborvitae trees at the entrance to the apartment complex.  Starting with the first arborvitae we did two burpees and lunge walked the row, where at alternating trees, we did two burpees.  48 burpees later we were done.  Running a bit short on time we jogged our way back down the row and did two burpees at every third one.
  Mozy back to COT with one minute to spare.  One minute of full body destroyers ensued and we were all happy.
MARY:  she stayed home
ANNOUNCEMENTS:  D2D fund raisers

WARMUP: I forgot to write backblast so this is not the whole truth….
THE THANG: run to bank and do SSH until 6, run to bottom of hill and do IW till 6, run to basketball nets and do something (forget) till 6. This I know is true: Mossy to first light pole. 15 LBCs then run up the hill to the 9th light pole and do 15 LBCs and come back. Then run to 8th pole and 15 LBCs and come back. Continue this by reducing a light pole. The cheetahs got to about 4 light poles the turtles I think 6. All in all about 4 miles total. It SUCKED

Importance of Running Backwards

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Plank-updog-downdog-merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-shoulder taps; Plank-updog-downdog-peter parker; Plank-updog-downdog-plank jacks; Plank-updog-downdog-diamond merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-other variety of dynamic plank work and so on and so on
THE THANG: Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x10 — a little extra Mary mixed in.
Mosey to the apartments- complete dynamic warmup including hamstring sweeps, walking RDLs, deep lunge walks, toy soldiers, high knees, butt kicks; BACKWARDS sprints up the hill towards the fire station x4; Last sprint was a challenge- each pax had to surpass their previous stopping point before tagged by YHC, otherwise the group was subject to an unknown penalty (probably burpees)… no one will ever know because the threat of penalty motivated everyone to sprint backwards that much faster!
We discussed THE IMPORTANCE OF RUNNING BACKWARDS at COT. If you’re getting some miles in with your fellow pax and they’re dogging it for whatever reason, it’s important to be able to run backwards faster than they’re progressing forwards, look them in the eyes, and say whatever motivating (or demeaning) statement to give them a kind gut check! SkateOrDie knows this too well from YHC.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres tonight!
COT: Beaker’s son turns 4 today. Prayers for physical and mental illness among the pax. Prayers/praise for Halfshell’s boys heading to camp.
