12 total at Old School on Saturday morning as I make my attempt to climb out of the valley. This was my 2nd post after having pulled a calf muscle 3 weeks ago. Man I’m sore. It’s crazy how quickly you start to lose it. I want to say I do appreciate all the men for checking in on me and wishing me well. It makes a huge difference when you hit a low and someone is there to reach out a hand. Some valleys are steeper than others and require more help so make sure you are not just reaching out to your brothers, but maybe grabbing and pulling them if needed.

Warmup:

I probably did a little more than usual here with a new found respect for warming up those muscles.

Tha Thang:

Mosey down to Kotter corner for a triple nickel on Kotter hill. WWI’s and hand release merkins. The amount of clover growing in Kotter yard was noted.

Mosey over to the Courthouse square for 4 corners

5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 CDD’s, 20 Rosalita’s, stack’em

After this we moved over to the next block for the same

5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 Starburst, 20 imperial walker squats

Over to the next block for more 4 corners

5 burpees, 10 hillbillies ic, 15 dying cockroaches count 1 side, 20 shoulder taps count 1 side

Mosey over to the Methodist Church’s new wall for 5 rounds of 10 dips ic and 10 step ups. Then in the same spot on the worlds lowest curb we did tiger squats. Starting with 1, run to the potherside of the street and do 2. Rinse and repeat up to 5. Even Slaw had to sit down on this curb.

Next we made our way back to the start. I set a cone about 20 yds out. 1 pax would hold a sandbag over head while everyone else would bearcrawl to the cone and run back. Last one in holds the sandbag the next round unless they had previously done it. Some people don’t seem to care if you are struggling holding the bag. When I say some people I mean the majority of this crowd was not in a hurry at all. We did this for 5-6-7 minutes and called time.
