Everyone knows that Friday the 13th can be an unlucky day. Whether you’re have a rough day at work or you’re running from a machete wielding psychopath, it can get pretty bad. Luckily for the 7 HIM who posted today, we weren’t in a life or death situation and we hadn’t even gotten to work yet. But this is what happened…

Warm Up

Goofballs, Don Quixotes, the Patented Right over Left

Mosey down the way to West Main Avenue. YHC explained the first session of pain, Route 66. Do a merkin at each light pole, adding one each time until we got to 11. Lot’s of fun!

By this point we’d made it to the new CaroMont Health Park and it was time for part 2 of The Thang, The JASON. 

J – 5 Jump Squats

A – 10 Alternating Shoulder Taps each arm

S – 15 Scorpion Dry Docks

O – 20 One Arm Pickle Pounders

N – 25 Newton’s Cradle each arm

After each exercise the PAX would run to the other end of the sidewalk. We liked this routine so much that we repeated it all over again.

Mosey east on Franklin Blvd., stopping at each traffic light for Monkey Humpers so the 6 could catch up. We kept going until we arrived at the parking deck where we began the final section of The Thang, 13’s. On one side of the parking lot, we did WW1 situps and on the other end, we did Bobby Hurleys. Add up the reps to 13, switching until they flip flop. In the middle of this routine we had to mosey back to get away from the garbage truck stank that filled the bottom of the parking deck. We finished just in the nick of time. Aye!
