The Workout

Mosey toward the park and see Whoopee getting out of an unfamiliar car.  Seems he was late because his truck was parked in and had to scramble to get his daughters car out of the driveway.  He’ll make it up to us later in the workout.

Mosey to the park entrance.  Perform 5 Merkins and 10 squats at each light along the entrance road to the park.  Do this all the way to the turd shack.

Five Burpees for the train whistle I hear in the distance.  These won’t be the last Burpees either.

Triple Nickle between the Turn Shack and the Picnic Shelter.  5 Praying Mantis’ at the Turd Shack and 5 Step Up’s (each leg) at the Picnic shelter.

Slow Mosey to the parking lot.  Again, 5 burpees for the train whistle I heard.  I was going to skip these but a few PAX already started doing them, so we all join in.  These won’t be our last Burpees of the day.

I asked Whoopee what he wanted to do at one end of the parking lot for 11’s and to nobody’s surprise he choose Burpees.  This is where Whoopee made up for being late.  After all, we are there to get some work in aren’t we?  I’ll know better than to ask Whoopee next time!  El Camino suggested Lunges at the other end.  We started with 10 Burpees and 1 Lunge.  These won’t be the last burpees of the day either.

Mosey to the bleachers for Calf Raises.  I didn’t work them too hard.  I think we only did 60 double count.  Nobody should have sore calves on Christmas Day.

Mosey to the front of the parking lot for Ring of Abs.

Two minutes left.  Just enough time to Mosey back to the start and get 2 more Burpees in before 0615.  Finally, these are the last Burpees of the day.

JJ Rolled in just in time for COT.  He was expecting to get a total of 6 miles this morning.  He’s trying to finish out 1,000 miles running for the year, so give him some encouragement when you see him.
