Tight Fitting’ Jeans

TimeFrame got us going with the disclaimer, pledge, and warmup then the 6 boot campers were off-we moseyed and nurred our way to FPC. The side of the church a nice wall for step ups so that was going to be our base for the 300 workout today. Luckily, we found some rucks there. I have no idea how they got there but thankfully we made good use of them.

I ‘splained how the workout was going to go. Each pax picks an exercise that we do together X 10 reps. We get thru the 6 different exercises (6 pax) then we run a lap around the church for total of 5 sets (6 exercises X 10 reps X 5 laps =  300). On the lap, start with either 30 lunges or 30 bunny hops  then mosey the rest of the lap. Each lap you alternate between bunny hops or lunges. The exercises were as follows: Step Ups (with or without a ruck), Monkey Humpers, Squats, Diamond Merkins, Flutter Kicks, Shoulder Taps.

Stroganoff was around doing some OYO work on the stairs so we joined him briefly. I suspect he had the runny bunnies and didn’t want anyone to know that he had to keep running off to the woods. We made it back to start with a little wall sitting along the way then finished with some Mary.

Rudolph and Mayor were the form police and I think both played bad cop. I wouldn’t say it was so much mumble chatter as it was like being with your Aunt Dot and Uncle Bob and listening to them argue about what temperature to set the thermostat. Slick enjoyed leading those monkey humpers a little more than I expected….there might be a beast in there somewhere just waiting to jump out and Q sometime soon. JJ and Watts Up were solid as usual-knocking out the reps and laps like it was no…..big……deal.

At the end, we enjoyed some Conway Twitty being sung WORD FOR WORD by Mayor and JJ. I did some backup for them but really only knew a few of the words. That made my day.

As usual I got more out of this workout than I expected. It’s interesting what happens during a workout sometimes. The ability to come out here and exercise with others and be part of the pack is often taken for granted by me. Not just the exercise but the things that people say and the “constructive criticism” you get that you are still thinking about a few days later is often more important than the degree of muscle soreness that also lingers. It’s that candor that rears its ugly but important head to sharpen the iron that really changes who we are. If you don’t post, you won’t know what I am talking about. Like Tiger says, prepare every day. If you are not posting, are you really preparing?

Great work guys-Whoopee
