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

It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

Duct-Tape-to-Nuts

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Mosey to fire station, then:
10 Windmills IC – the mumblechatter began.
10 HIllBilly Walkers IC – the PAX thought this might bother me.
10 LSS IC – Block Party is way worse.
10 MNC IC
10 Shoulder Taps IC
10 Merkins IC
Broga – mumblechatter significant here.

THE THANG:
Moseyed to the pullup bars. All planked while we two waterfalls of 5 pull ups each. The weather had been nice, but all of the hot air spilling out of the PAX had changed the local conditions. Shirts became optional.

Moseyed around the ball fields and down Tara Tea Drive. Partnered up and did a DORA, with NUR up the hill for the first half and then running the second half. Exercises were:
100 Merkins
200 Overhead Claps
300 LBCs
One last run up the hill. Toy Soldiers and slow Lunges down Windward Drive. Mosey to ball fields.
Halftime
A series of Webbs, starting with Core.
Captain Thor, 1 big boy sit-up – 4 American hammers, progress up to 10 BBSU and 40 Am Hams.
Total: 55 BBSU and 220 AH

Legs
1 squat – 4 calf raises, progress up to 10 squats – 40 calf raises.
Total: 55 squats – 220 calf raises

Upper Body
1 merkin – 4 shoulder taps; progress up to 10 merkins – 40 shoulder taps.
Total: 62 merkins – 248 shoulder taps

The mumblechatter was off the charts through the 2nd Half. I can’t recall all of it, but the laughter hurt as much as the 220 American Hammers…. and the ant bites.

MARY:
Flutters, Hello Dollys, Box Cutters, Xs & Os… just for Decibel!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Highway Clean Up, Convergence, Sweetwaters Coffee on 7/30

COT: Stays in CoT.
