Arrived early and saw Hushpuppy coming across the finish line and already had in a mile.  We got in another 1/2 mile pre-post so I could get warmed up.  I was hoping I would be prepped enough to lead the Pax of HIM’s for a not so much beatdown but just a great workout.  Mumblechatter abound, Watts Up quickly reminded me it was 07:00.

Disclaimer/Pledge:

No warm up, who needs them.  Turns out I do, but such is.

Mosey to FPC church down back of parking lot.  Watch for the hidden ice spots.  Intent was to run some and exercise some.

The Thang:

No name:

25 Merkins/25 more Merkins – Up Pad steps, offer water to anyone thirsty from leftover trash in parking lot, back down hill watching for ice to where we started.

25 Crab Crunch (or something like that) / 25 more Crab Crunch / Up steps at The Pad, 25 more CC and hold in crab plank position for a hot minute.  Down hill and around to start.

50 squats / up steps to The Pad and 25 more.  Linus had a close bout with passing out.  I made it though, primarily cause I found out the Pax would drag me home instead of carry me.  I think they would actually finish the workout as well so I had motivation to stay puke and pass out free.  Down hill back to start.

50 calf raises (JJ gave up counting so he could mumblechat) / 25 merkins / 25 of those crab crunchie things / 25 squats.  Up steps, down steps…….back to start, done.

Modified 11’s:

Merkins / Dips, keep going in same circle.

Partner runs and holds:

Partner 1 runs a certain distance (I think it was a couple of miles) while partner 2 holds the following:

Plank / Al Gore / Crab Plank / 6″

Triple Nickel:

5 Flying Squirrels at each designated spot, keep running in circle pattern.  I called out modify to Pax as this was too much for me to handle.  Shout out to the Pax for keeping the same initial request.

Dora 1:

We have about 5 minutes.  Partner up, run a distance (about 3 miles), each Pax does 25 merkins.  Watts Up was actually looking for more.

Mosey home.  All questions answered, no referral to the FAQ section needed.
