It was a glorious day to lead some HIM at the hottest AO this side of Crowders Mountain. Not nuclear type hot but warm enough to get a good sweat on. The regulars were waiting in the shade, breathing deep the aroma from the turdshack. My henchman Queso even tagged along for some afternoon rock pushing before he heads off to The East Carolina University. This is what happened…

Time was called. Introductions were given. Disclaimers were proclaimed.

Pledge of Allegiance

Warm was Merkins and Goofballs and almost Burpees. What more did we need?

Mosey down the way to the long open parking lot for some 11’s. Lunges on one side, Big Boys on the other. The king of the super long, in cadence, squat warmup Virus joined us not long after we started this routine. Welcome!

Head over to the small soccer field for a version of the ATM. We did the shoulder thing but the high point, IMO, is that YHC was able to successfully do Shoulder Taps for the first time in 10 months! Please hold your applause.

Mosey toward the ultimate frisbee arena for some itchy grass work. The Hurricane Hoedown! On you 6 and do 7 IC reps of Flutterkicks with 1) arms raised, 2) arms behind you, 3) reclined 4) normal 5) LBFCs. Next round, do 6 reps, next 5 and so on. Between each round YHC had the bright idea to ask each PAX something about each other that no one knows. The winner has to be that in 2nd grade at school Defib broke a glass windowpane over top of his head! OUCH!!!

Mosey back to the start for some Jack Webb via Route 66 doing squats. That’s right, just do a squat, 4 air presses and then lunge 5 steps. increase by 1 each round with x4 on the air presses. We did this until time was called.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead and for putting up with me men. It’s good to be back!!! AYE!
