Day: February 12, 2021

Spooky

Today at the Tequila Sunrise, 9 HIMs knew the rock needed pushing and that’s what we did. Three of us did some EC and unfortunately I thought there was more time left for stretching when it was time to start.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional…

Warmup

Don Quixote, Goofballs

Mosey for a while until YHC called 5 burpees for the train. Keep moseying to the cemetery. Yes, the cemetery.,,I’m afraid.

Zombie Walk for a while down the unusually steep and slanted drive. Mosey

Frankenstein walk from here to there. Good. Mosey

Triple Decker-

The PAX would do an increasing 10 reps at the first round monument, run to the next and 20 at the next, run again and 30 reps at the last round area. Run back to the start and plank for the 6.

The exercises were:

  • Merkins
  • American Hammers
  • Prayer Squats

Mosey back the way we came doing Frankensteins and Zombie Walks like before but in the opposite direction. Mosey to the AO making sure everyone is accounted for along the way.

Great day with no rain at the newest Gastonia region AO!

YHC borrowed this format from a training plan Buidan and I are doing called Heavy Drop Training, look it up. It’s our first week but so far it’s been a good one. I’m sore everywhere that work has been applied and I ran my fastest 5 miler and 5k inside of that.

Moleskin:

To be a nasty day it ended up being a great workout. Other than the burpees there was very little cardio burn but it doesn’t have to be to be a good workout. I wore out the muscle groups we focused on. For some reason this workout was full of that’s what she said comments.

 

Voracious Unbreakable Devoted Outdoor Outlaws

For motivation, here’s the storyline to the award-winning 1976 movie, Rocky.

Rocky Balboa is a struggling boxer trying to make the big time, working as a debt collector for a pittance. When heavyweight champion Apollo Creed visits Philadelphia, his managers want to set up an exhibition match between Creed and a struggling boxer, touting the fight as a chance for a “nobody” to become a “somebody”. The match is supposed to be easily won by Creed, but someone forgot to tell Rocky, who sees this as his only shot at the big time.

3rd Wheel

YHC was informed on Wed. Couger would make a rare morning appearance.  Additionally Cougar would be bringing a FNG, who was going to be getting married at the courthouse later today.  (Cougar is the best man)  To pay homage to this event, YHC prepared today’s weinke with a marriage theme.

Alas, no FNG and no Cougar..

Disappointed? Yes

Change the Plan?  No

11 PAX where gathered around YHC by 0530.

Its go time…

We knock out The Pledge of Allegiance.

Warmup:

The couples were:

Folgers / Round Up
Broke / Dirt
JJ

As you can see, JJ was the 3rd wheel.  He made the best of it by making threesomes with all the couples as the time progressed.

Level 1

One thing about marriage is you do lots of activities together with your partner…

Let’s do 11’s  with Hand Release Merkins on Level 1 and Squats on Level 2.  Take the stairs to get to Level 2, but run the ramp back to Level 1.  Partner 1 and Partner 2 do this together at the same time, at the same pace.

Meander to Level 2.

Sometimes a partner doesn’t feel well, is hurt, etc. and the other partner has to do all the work…

Let’s do 11’s again.  This time with Burpees on Level 2 and Burpees on Level 3.  Again, take the stairs up and the ramp down.  This time one partner works while the other planks…

  • P1 – 10/1 Burpees, P2 High Plank
  • P2 – 9/2 Burpees, P1 High Plank
  • P1 – 8/3 Burpees, P2 Low Plank
  • P2 – 7/4 Burpees, P1 Low Plank
  • P1 – 6/5 Burpees, P2 High Plank
  • P2 – 5/6 Burpees, P1 High Plank
  • P1 – 4/7 Burpees, P2 Low Plank
  • P2 – 3/8 Burpees, P1 Low Plank
  • P1 – 2/9 Burpees, P2 High Plank
  • P2 – 1/10 Burpees, P1 High Plank

Meander to Level 3

In a marriage, you work together to accomplish goals…

Time for some Dora 1,2,3  P1 does the work, P2 runs to Level 4 via stairs and back via ramp.  Then flapjack.

  • 100 CDDs
  • 200 Calf Raises
  • 300 Dying Cockroaches

Mosey back to the flag, with enough time left to get 5 more burpees in for the train…

Time!

Prayer Requests were noted and lifted as YHC took us out.

 

Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Ecclesiastes 9:9
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
