5 at The Sandlot for a Cougar-less Monday beatdown.  Here’s what I remember:

I’d been in touch with Cougar to try to connect on a workout.  I had 2 plans, one if he was there and the other if he wasn’t.  No Cougar, so plan B was in order.

The Thang:

  • 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
  • 15 x Hillbilly Walkers (IC)
  • 20 x Mountain Climbers (IC)
  • 10 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
  • 15 x Freddie Mercuries (IC)
  • 20 x Toe Touches (IC)
  • 10 x Hello Dollies (IC)
  • 15 x Mike Tysons (IC)
  • 20 x Moroccan Night Clubs (IC)

Thoroughly warmed up, we took a shortcut and moseyed to Fidelity Bank, stopping to

  • Lunge walk between the two driveways

Cross the street to the funeral home, which wasn’t as well lit as I expected.  As long as I’ve been posting at The Sandlot/Labyrinth/Martha’s House, I’d never been there.  It’s a great place for 11s though, so we did something like that:

22s

  • 2 x Squats (OYO)
  • Run halfway down the driveway
  • 1 x Burpee (OYO)
  • Run the rest of the driveway
  • 20 x Merkins (OYO)

Add 2 to the Squats and 1 to the Burpees, and subtract 2 from the Merkins, til the last round you have 20 Squats, 10 Burpees, 2 Merkins

It was a grind, and we were either all fast or all slow, because we stayed together the whole time.  Stinky Bird and EZ Rider kept the mumblechatter going, as YHC was having a hard time finding his legs, much less talking at the same time.

Once that wrapped up, we moseyed back, stopping at Fidelity Bank to

  • Lunge walk between the two driveways

We then moseyed the rest of the way back

Circled up at the end, we finished the way we started, with:

  • 10 x Hello Dollies (IC)
  • 15 x Freddie Mercuries (IC)
  • 20 x Toe Touches (IC)
  • 10 x Hello Dollies (IC)
  • 15 x Freddie Mercuries (IC)

And that was that.

Announcements:

  • Sandlot and Mt. Hollywood to join forces at 0700 in McAdenville on Labor Day

Prayer Requests:

  • Stinky Bird’s family & business
  • Turtleman
  • EZ Rider’s family
  • Flintstone’s grandmother

Moleskin:

Rough. I’m dragging a bit this summer.  Still rocks out there that need to be pushed, so gotta keep grinding.  It’s days when I go when I’m just not feelin it that I know that I’m still accelerating.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
