Well gents,

It’s been a great summer and we have had a lot of fun at these workouts.  Today was filled with a lot of fun moments and finished us up right.  The first was when Sargento and Edison showed up without the 2.0s and joined us.  Edison got back in the car, I heard to go get his kids, but we never saw him again.  The Yank was also visited by a guy new to the area named RaRa, who appeared to have a great time and was always smiling.

It looked like rain was on the horizon, but we had a good turnout despite it.  Time started and Doodles move us to the concrete pad for the warmup.  After a few exercises to get loose, he donned the half pipe. Dads would count off as ones and twos and ones would go up the grass hill while the twos would do and exercise.  When ones would return, the twos would go to the stairs.  Dads would switch and hit the stairs and grass every other turn.  It didn’t take long for mumble chatter out of the 2.0s.  Then Doodles moved us up to the top of the track and split us up and half the group ran one direction and the others ran opposite.  That took us to Norwood.

Norwood had set up some baseballs. The first thing was dads would tag the 2.0s (they were supposed to stay within the baseballs – that didn’t happen).  Once tagged, kids did an exercise.  After all kids were tagged, switch and the kids tag the dads.  We did a handful of rounds.  Then it was relay time.  A dad bear crawls to the bats (25 yards away) with a kid on their back and runs back after getting to the bat.  Next relay was the dizzy bat race where you ran to the bats and spun five times and ran back.  I AM GLAD THERE IS NO FOOTAGE OF THIS. YHC got laid out around spin three.  Four and five were tough and I couldn’t make a straight line back to the group.  The same could be said for Sister Act and Roscoe.

Sister Act had something in mind to show the 2.0s what we really do.  He decided to run a triple nickel with burpees up top and then bear crawl around the fountain (quickly omahad to Bobby Hurleys at the back of the fountain.  Funny thing heard was when his 2.0s said their hands hurt during the bear crawl, SA promptly replied “well I have gloves on”.

That wrapped it up and we named an FNG and closed it out and had some Gatorade and fig bars.

I want to thank all of the dads for coming out this summer to support and especially the dads who took the leads.
