If the local weather men and women were correct we were in for a whole lot of rain Friday night and right through the day on Saturday.  But they weren’t as usual so I changed up my game plan the night before for nothing.  Either way 16 men spent the morning with me at the Fighting Yank doing a little more running than they wanted to.  Here is how it went…

Mosey to Two Chicks parking lot for some warm up.

SSH x 15, Grass Pickers x 15, IST x 15, Moroccan Night Club x 15, Stretch – to your toes, to your left foot and then to your right foot.  Then 5 burpees just because.

Line up & Indian run around the block to end up behind Sammy’s

Break up into three lines of sprinters.  Time for some sprints.  100 yard dash & Mosey back to start.  All three lines down and back for 1 minute of Mtn. Climbers.  Line up & Repeato 9X substituting Mtn Climbers for Jump Squats, Merkins, Flutter Kicks, Freddie Mercury, CDDs, LBCs and more.  In round two we lost our brother Pilgrim’s Progress to his nagging hamstring injury.  He was in sprint mode when his leg said that was enough.  Sorry again about the sprints brother.  With the 100s behind us I checked my watch and called an audible to forget about running the 50s.  Lets not have any more injuries.

Next on the weinke , a mosey to the park bathrooms to grab some wall and catch our breath.  People’s chair with some air presses, right leg up, left leg up.  Recover and we are off to the new park pavilion.  Because it was supposed to be raining…remember.

In observance of Shark Week we partnered up for a Sharknado around the fountain.  Partner one starts the run to the fountain, takes three laps around and returns to pavilion while partner two begins 100 merkins, 200 LBC and 300 squats.  Switch until all 600 are complete.

Circle up back under the pavilion for some Jack Webbs x (audible) 8, followed by flutter kicks, LBC, and 5 burpees called by Boudin.

Final mosey to The Fighting Yank statue for the Pledge, Name o rama and prayer lead by TopHat.

Today we prayed for safe travels for Tesla’s son headed to DC. ALL of the school teachers, administrators, students of all ages, and parents too.  Our brothers newly injured and those on IR.  First Responders and the health of our great nation.

Until next time!  BOS
