Friendless Dora

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ran around parking lot with a few exercises thrown in: butt kickers, high knees, shuffles. Circled up for: SSH, merkins, hillbilly walkers, squats, and some hamstring and back stretches.
THE THANG: Ran over by Indian restaurant (which has been a number of different local establishments but it sounds like this restaurant is PAX approved), we began the fun. Dora concept but no partner. 25x merkins, 25x squats, 25x (count right leg only) flutters. Run to other end of parking lot and rinse/repeat…back and forth for a total of 100x.

Stop 2 was over at the church parking lot – same idea, different exercises. 25x CDD, 25x single count lunges, 25x Freddy (right knee only)…total 100x.

Last stop was in the back parking lot, where the dumpster fumes were at a low. 15x variety merkins (5 diamond, 5 wide arm, 5 ranger), 30x variety claves (10 out, 10 reg, 10 in), 25x LBC. Run and rinse/repeat 4 total times.
MARY: left time for 2 exercises back at COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter and cannoli run
COT: prayers for health and families

The Accumulator hit by inflation is painful for everyone

Leave a comment

We had 12 Pax, make it 13, Splinter drove through the Circle of Pain while we were doing out Side Straddle Hops. While I did prove a disclaimer, I forgot to mention incoming vehicles as a potential hazard.
Back to warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank Stretches, Peter Parker, Parker Peters)
Next, we moseyed to the entrance of the Middle School. The workout for the remainder of time was The Accumulator:

Do the exercise and take a lap around the buffet. Rinse and Repeat, accumulating each exercise.

10 Merkins – 20 Flutter Kicks – 20 Squats – 30 Plank Punches – 20 LBC’s – 20 Carolina Dry Docks – 10 Burpees

Unfortunately, the above reps were impacted by inflation, here are the revised reps:

15 Merkins – 25 Flutter Kicks – 25 Squats – 36 Plank Punches – 28 LBC’s – 25 Carolina Dry Docks – 15 Burpees

**lesson: inflation has a random impact on prices (in this case reps)

Most pax got through the full list, some of the crazies (fast pax) started from the top again. Back to COT.

Early Morning Wal Mart Run

Leave a comment

Nine men covered more than three miles with an early morning trip to Wally World. Here’s what we did:

The Thang

21s – In unison PAX does cadence count Side Straddle Hops, counting aloud 1-5. Reps 6-21 are all mental and everyone must stop together at 21. Five Penalty Burpees for missing the cut off.

Run 1 Mile to Wal Mart

7 of Diamonds – Four corners with exercise reps increasing by seven at each corner (7, 14, 21, 28)
70 Merkins
70 Flutters
70 Squats
70 Bombjacks
70 American Hammers

Mosey back to AO – stopping periodically for 21 Carolina Drydocks and 21 Knee Tar Jais.

NMM
There’s an old Italian saying, “after the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.” When our days are done, it doesn’t matter how much money we made or how fine our possessions were. We should use our time to get right, live right, and lead right so we can leave right. Stay humble, be kind, and love always. That’s the legacy that lasts beyond when we close the box on the game.

Aye!
