WARMUP: Mosey to coffee shop on Dave Lyle for some broga and merkins and mountain climbers in cadence. Then mosey down towards Middle school.
THE THANG:
11s with imperial squat walkers and diamond merkins
every time you pass the gold hill school sign do 2 burpees
Summary:
4 miles – 55 ISW, 55 diamonds, 40 burpees, 20 merkins, 40 mtn climbers
strong work by all
4 men showed up for a chilly morning at FMHS. Quick mosey to the band field (no signs of Band Camp). Warm ups (SSH, Imperial Walker, Windmill, Squats). Next, we used the field markers to do a burpee ladder. 1 burpee at each 10 yard marker adding 1 every 10 yards running back to the end zone.
Next, we moseyed to the freshman drop off area. Three rounds of dips x20. Continued our journey around the school to the pull-up bars. Three rounds of pull-ups x5 and squats x10.
Mosey to the front of the school. Two rounds of 1 minute toe taps. Back to COT for Mary (LBCs, Flutters, Hello Dolly, Freddie’s).
WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats
COT: prayers for Shower Curtain continued healing, balance – even better harmony.
WARMUP: windmills, low slow squats, IW
THE THANG: mossy to Anchorage Ln. Each PAX was being held accountable as the instruction was do 50 merkins and run to white mailbox at bottom of hill. You vs you as you can break up the 50 and run the hill as many times as you want. This is not a Dora partner WO. Most ran the hill 2xs, some 3. Next: 75 leg raises and you vs you. Finally 100 LBcs and you vs you. Mossy to parking lot so Fish “half” Stick could go home and crawl back into bed crying of running hills. Mossy to swings for 3 rounds of planks and 15 gas pumps using the swing. Mossy to trail near trash can. Pendulum series. One end 15 merkins, middle 10 leg raises, other end 15 squats. 4 rounds. Mossy to COT for Broga.
MARY: Broga lead by CO
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Skeet shooting, need 9 more to make it happen! Sign Up!!!
COT: FMHS football player and two other football players from PKMS and FMHS JV who got concussions this week in games. PAX to find balance in home/work. Helping PAX get out of ruts.
WARMUP: Not much in the way of warm up. 15 burpees to get the blood flowing, a short jog for a few Abe Vigodas, Cherry Grabber Tappers (or whatever the heck we call these), and some SSH.
THE THANG: As I have now learned that I make moderate workouts and am only around for the yapping, instead of telling you all that we did, just imagine a nap. It was probably about like that.
