Day: February 25, 2020

Good morning Gents,

Lets weeks Bulldog beat down at the hands of Voodoo the Chiropractor led to some chatter about the significance of stretching.  That conversation in turn led to yoga and how great of a workout it is.  Don’t knock til you try it.  When done correctly yoga can not only be a great workout but leave you feeling stretched out, agile,  mobile, fluid, and energized.  In light of that conversation I yhc suggested that we should have a yoga workout.  The guys agreed.  It was mentioned that today was open.  Here is the backblast.

Timeframe

It is another cold Thursday morning at Gastonia’s Premiere Running AO.

It’s 5:30am time to run. First lets say the Pledge.

The Thang:

We ran!

The route was to Martha Rivers and back, pretty straight forward, nothing exciting other than we ran. Some ran 5 miles, some 4.5, and some 3 miles. One person had to make a pit stop at McDonald’s on the way back. I want say their name, but their initials are SLAW!

This gloom it was pretty cold in the downtown Belmont area. There were 5 HIM counting YHC which would work out just fine for what was in store.

After running from home to the AO, YHC slowly gathered himself so as to give the PAX a moment to prepare themselves for the onslaught. Actually, I had to get my surprise out of my vehicle, the boombox! Everybody loves it when YHC brings the tunes.

Pledge

Mosey to the Pit where we hit the play button on music. No complaints!?! Amazing…now to the main event.

The Deck of Death! The following were included in the first round. Two jokers meant 10 burpees and a lap around the Pit. Aces were a lap as well. Unfortunately YHC’s music box failed after about 3 songs, didn’t even make it to the Tool. Bummer…

• Merkins
• Squats
• Side Straddle Hops
• Dying Cockroaches

We made it through the whole with plenty of time to spare so lets run it back. This time we did

• CDDs
• Bobby Hurleys
• Monkey Humpers
• LBCs

We made it about 2/3 of the way through this one but did get in all the Aces and Jokers again. Lots of running with this DoD.

Thanks for showing today men. You’re old, it was cold but we were all better for it. Aye!

Prayer requests: Lynn Hamm, Don Chapman, Breaker Breaker’s uncle Johnny, Becky Fritz, Tesla’s father in law
