Burpeethon Training

7 #HIM enjoyed the Burpeethon training.  YHc was planning to go with BlockBuster and had nothing planned and Mayor made the call for no BlockBuster, sooo.

Warm Up; All x 15 IC

SSH, Mericans, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s

The Thang;

Mosey 1 mile cicle up at the weight room in the parking lot.  YHC thought with the BurpeeThon coming up we could use some training.  The parking lot is approx 100 yds with three islands. Island 1 perform 5 mericans, run to 2nd island perform 5 squats, run to 3rd island perform 5 burpees, sprint back and plank for the six.  Once all pax are in run a lap around the school, .25 mile.  Meet back at the start 30 flutterkicks IC and repeat exercises with 10 reps each island, plank for six, run lap around school.  30 FreddieMercury IC.  Repeat exercises for 15 reps at each island.  Plank for the six.  Stroll to the weight room wall and perform 10 Hip Slappers IC, run 200 yds.  Repeato.  Mosey to the flag for the pledge.

Moleskin; We covered 3 miles with plenty of burpee training.  Not much chatter at all this morning.  YHC will keep this one in the memory bank as well.  Nice work by all this morning.  Nice to see the push given by all this am, and the will to keep going.  #ISI #DFQ.  It was an honor men.

Thanks for taking us out Mayor. Continue reading

Persistence at Midoriyama

YHC received a text from scheduled Q Floppy Disk telling of an injury from a recent Mountain Bike ride. It was widely believed that Freight was involved in this accident but so far no evidence of that. YHC not being particularly creative and preferring to dwell on his weinke over several days, this was a challenge to think of something quick.

I had planned a few curls and presses at the soccer field but was running out of time.
Split into 2 teams for some Frisbee Rules Football. There was illegal use of hands, holding maybe even a personal foul but none were enforced and all had fun.
I read a quote from Calvin Coolidge about persistence which part of it is “The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” I discussed one of my M’s friends who is a doctor who made a statement a while back that she was not even close to the smartest person in school but that she was disciplined and that helped her make it through med school as much as anything. Everyone who is trying to lead needs to be persistent and disciplined to be better each day.

Moleskin
YHC probably had a little too much running for such a warm day and with a couple of the Pax not at 100%. #QFail
Nice work from Wojo and Assssh Pond pushing hard even though they were not at their best.
Slaw, Defib, Tool Time, Blart and Freight are the beasts of Midoriyama and just kept pushing even though the Q was kind of dragging.
Swimmer is a famous Mountain Bike rider and got in some EC before the workout. I think he rode alone because no one can keep up with him.
My boy Huckleberry repeated his disgust with all the running today but kept pushing that rock.
Newcomer Wrong Turn is so young and makes it all look so easy and that is kind of annoying for an old guy like me. Just kidding youngster.
Lil Sweet was not wearing his usual cargo work pants but had on shorts and it turns out he is a sneaky well-skilled frisbee football player.
Oompa Loompa stopped by on his way home from work to tell us he was having to rest his knees for a while. Get well soon Oomp.

My little girl started her senior year of college and we had several guys busy with their 2.0’s schools this week so best wishes to all of the kids and teachers starting back to school.

Thanks guys for the push today. I really needed it.
