still sore……

No FNG’s, quick disclaimer and pledge…..

Warm Up:

SSH:  My favorite I suppose, about 20 IC

LBC’s:  Another favorite, about 10 IC

That’s enough, Double Stuf is foaming to beat these Pax into early submission.

The Thang:

I borrowed a page from Roscoe’s playbook from his Perfect Form Q.  Disclaimer, if you do not want to get hurt then do not take a page from Roscoe’s playbook.  Well, too late for that as I type here in continued misery, I’m still sore.  I make the Scarecrow in Dorothy’s Wizard of Oz look like he walks straight.  We moseyed up to the back of First Presbyterian.  Here in his original Q Roscoe taught us how to perform a proper lunge.  So, in practicing this endeavor we lunge walked the entire distance, best we could lowering each knee to the pavement.  Some mumblechatter ensued during and after as we moseyed to the Pad (building at the top of the hill).  Continuing in Roscoe’s perfect form Q we…………..

Merkins:  15 merkins (hands shoulder width and straight, elbows straight back towards feet), mosey down the hill and back, I chased ’em all.

Big Boy Sit Ups:  20, Full down, Full up, use core to lift not momentum, mosey 1/2 way down hill and back, I chased ’em all.

Squats:  25, Full down, thighs parallel to ground, use back of heels to lift, we may or may not have run again, do not recall.

Mumblechatter was in full and rare form.  I almost hated to call this next exercise.  I learned it from Def Leppard and what I now recall I learned was how awful it really was.  I think this is also dubbed a lazy Dora.

Partner Up:  Merkins/Squats/LBC’s (100/150/200).  Partner 1 does 10 merkins while partner 2 holds plank, rinse and repeat to 100.  Squats, 15 each while partner 2 holds an Al Gore.  LBC’s, 20 each while partner 2 holds feet at 6″.  Pax looked great while I downed a bottle of pedialyte.  Next chapter.

We are actually starting to burn some time here (and Linus) and it was already around 7:35.  I told the Pax a story about my oldest daughter.  She recently graduated from App State.  Due to many life conditions we had been behind in getting the next chapter in our lives started.  Without knowing what steps would unfold next, we ended up moving her out of her apartment in Boone, NC in the last week of July as her lease was up.  As things turn out, and this is for the best; we finalized her admission into grad school back at App State.  To make things better (as opposed to living alone) a room became available in her old apartment as one student elected to stay at home due to Covid.  Long story short, we moved her stuff less than three weeks later back into the same apartment.  I thought it would only be special that I share that wonderful experience with the Pax.

First, drive to Boone, run back up the hill at The Pad.  Grab 3 coupons of anything you find.  Place them at the top.  We’ll do 3 burpees and run each coupon down the steps (as she was on the 2nd floor) and run back up the steps and rinse and repeat.  Once the three coupons are in the car we run back up the hill and (well, down the stairs, it’s not perfect you know).  Take each coupon, 10 CDD’s and run them back up into the apartment, one at a time.  All said, the move was a bit more hectic but we got the idea.  Mumblechatter was great at this point.

Slow mosey back to the top of FPC and we followed Watts Up back to the Schiele.  Finished with a short round of 7 for 7 ab exercises as Rudolph gut pummeled me on flutters.
