LLLL-B-LJ

No FNGs. Solid crowd with the exception of 1…..

Started with disclaimer, Pledge, then some warmup stuff. We moseyed across the street for some sort-of-extended mobile warmup across the Terminix parking lot: karaoke, nur, high knees, butt kickers (everybody brought there butt, why wouldn’t we????), bear crawl, long jump, then some lunge, lunge, lunge, lunge burpee or if you wanted, you could lunge, lunge, lunge, lunge, lunge,  lunge burpee-I left this up to the pax discretion. Unfortunately I was next to Bullwinkle who preferred the shorter version with more burpees and I had to try to keep his pace as best as I could.  He is more than 10 years younger and (more than I care to admit) pounds lighter than I am so there is that. At some point, an un-named pax whose name rhymes with Hoganhoff went to empty his bladder bringing back memories of the Mortimer…..jokes were made in his absence, limericks and songs were shouted to the stars while he was relieving himself then things returned back to normal when he got back. I think we did a second round of those exercises.

Next we moseyed to the bank across the street for a quick lap. At this point Hoganhoff was MIA, presumably for a second round of 10-100 (better than a 10-200!!!). We got to the starting point and exercises were ‘splained quickly: 25 SSH for a buy in then 10 reps each of the following exercises focusing on FORM instead of speed-merkin, squat, LBC, SSH then take a lap. Again, 10-100 round 3 for Hoganhoff-man, this guy’s prostate must be the size of a basketball and his bladder itty bitty. Oh well, hang in there Hoganhoff.

We moseyed to the Grace Animal Hospital and thankfully there was a portojohn there for Hoganhoff for round 4-it was a quick one and I am not sure anyone else realized he was gone. Again, exercises were ‘splained:  buy in with 25 SSH then 10 reps each focusing on FORM over speed: mtn climber, imperial walker, big boy, seal jacks. On the first round Hoganhoff did plank jacks instead of seal jacks so he could make sure to empty his bladder while no one was paying attention. He gave me a thankful and appreciative look for not pointing it out (“our little secret, right???” he said with a wink and a nod)…..

We did a second round of above exercises then moseyed back to the bank for a repeat of the previous exercises then moseyed to the wall for some step ups.  We finished with the parking lot mobile warmup stuff with LLLL-Burpee-Long jumps to finish things off followed by Mary in the Pelican’s lot.

As far as I could tell, Hoganhoff didn’t need to empty his bladder anymore after we left the Grace Animal Hospital parking lot, however he was quite interested in moving the COT along at a rapid pace.  We finished with COT then everyone got outta there, some faster than others.

good work men, at least most of you.

whoopee

 

On The Hunt In The Park

Today, I will call it, The Inaugural Folsom Scavenger Hunt! This one will be making a return with a few tweaks to make it better.

The gist was simple, after a short warm up we divided into 2 teams and competed in a scavenger hunt.

Q announced the item to be found and the 2 teams took off looking for said items. First team back won. We played in “rounds” for each item.

The winning team had some “work” with the loosing team having either more reps or a harder exercise, for example the winning team may have to do 20 LBC’s while the loosing team had to do 20 Big Boy’s. There were other exercises, but you get the gist.

We had a 10 item list but only made it through 5, I won’t list the items because they likely will make a return, although not in the same places.

We all had fun and most of us got over 3 miles in while on the hunt!

Hope to see you there next time!
