Wally World Run

Nine men joined our brothers from Colosseum for a little Walmart shopping spree. Conditions were…unpleasant. Here’s what we did:

Warm Up
– 10 SSHs (IC)
– 10 Seal Claps (IC)
– 10 Imperial Walkers (IC)
– 10 Low Slow Squats (IC)

The Thang
– Run 1.25 miles to Walmart
– Partner up for Dora (100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBCs)
– Run 1.25 miles back
– 3.5 ish miles total

Before we left the parking lot, we put the rogue carts back into the corrals. It wasn’t our job and it wasn’t required, but if we didn’t do it, then I wonder who would have. Sometimes things have to get done even if it’s not our responsibility. Do them anyway. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?

Next, we each picked a stone and performed the following exercises in cadence: Curls, shoulder press, and bend over rows. Short lap around the parking lot.
Next, Dora with stone, 100 shoulder press, 200 squats, 300 chest presses.

Honing our Hockey Skills

WARMUP: Quick run around the parking lot, to where Golden Corral meets, circle up for the following:
– 20 SSH
– 10 Windmills
– 15 Imperial walkers
– 10 Moroccan night clubs
– 10 Strawberry pickers
Then run to the parking lot at Grace Presbyterian Church for the main event!

THE THANG:
As mentioned in 38 Special’s AAR writeup from Minnow Pond the day before, done in the theme of Happy Gilmore, I do indeed suck at hockey. BUT – what I lacked in skill I made up for in intensity. So in light of Happy Gilmore as well as the ongoing NHL Playoffs for the Stanley Cup, I put together something fun yet challenging to improve our hockey #3S2T.

An NHL hockey rink is 200ft long x 85ft wide. The large parking lot in front of the church is a little larger – approx 240′ x 100′. Go big and train to compete, right? There were 8 cones set up around our rink, each with exercises and a mode of transportation to the next cone. Start at cone 1, do the exercise, move to the next. Happy Gilmore may not have been the best skater or shooter, but damn he was intense. No rest in between as Happy would want it
Note: DC = double count
Cones:
1. ICING CALL on the opponent! Puck dropped but they won it. SKATE to go on defense! >> Eric Heiden’s to #2. (aka lateral lunge runs).
2. On defense in the corner. Happy falls on the ice and can’t get up! >> 30 dying cockroaches (DC) and 20 hammers (DC) >> Bear crawl to #3 (approx 25 yds)
3. GET UP OFF THE ICE HAPPY!! In front of the net, blocking shots. >> 10 burpees. >> Strides to #4 (think of a run while skipping, knees up high).
4. Happy was a pugilist. In the opposite defensive corner of the rink. Work on your enforcer abilities! >> 20 planks w alternating punches (DC), 20 Cobra Kai’s (DC) (while holding a deep squat, alternate punching) >> GO ON OFFENSE!! >> Strides to #5 (opposite end corner of the parking lot)
5. We are wide open!! Pass me the puck!! Signal your teammates >> 40 SSH (DC) >> You got the puck, move to the net! >> Strides to # 6 (center rink, offensive side)
6. TAKE THE SHOT!! Practice your SLAPSHOT!! >> 30 Apolo Ohno’s w arm swings. >> Bear crawl to #7 (opposite corner, offensive side, approx 30 yds)
7. YOU SCORED!! Now taunt the LOSERS!! >> 30 monkey humpers, 20 dirty dogs (10 each leg). >> Mary Katherine Lunge to #8 (a lunge walk, while you are lunging, you are extending both arms overhead, like a touchdown signal).
8. CELEBRATE!! Raise Lord Stanley’s Cup!!! At center rink. With a cinderblock, 20 curls then 20 overhead presses. Did you know: The Stanley Cup weighs 35 lbs, and a cindy weighs 38 lbs.
Back to #1, and repeat.

Everyone got in 2 full rounds. Mumblechatter was epic! A lot of 90s pop culture references, specifically Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and how they both tied in together on several movies. We even incorporated the Globo Gym Purple Cobras team entrance moves between 6 and 7 on round 2. Google it if you want to know what that was. We were tired but still had a blast.

Then…..we channeled a little bit of Metro’s Shore Card and carried all the coupons back to COT. There were 6 of us, but there were 8 cindies, a 30 lbs plate, and a 40 lbs sandbag. It all got back.

MARY: A little less than 2 minutes worth.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter! Get involved!

COT: Had a LOT of P&P lifted up. Some good long discussions too. THIS is what it is all about.

Thanks Slapshot for the opportunity to lead.
Blessings and SYITG,
