EZ out!!
Beautiful morning for a nice meetup and run with some other fitness bros. We started with the pledge, followed by the description of the route. We did the reverse Roscoe, that was not actually the Roscoe route– it’s the route that is all downhill, yet it starts and ends at the same place. It was picked because along the way the Lord opened up the sky and showed us a beautiful sunrise just as we came down one of the hills. Some men along the way thought we were certainly going to be longer than 5 miles, but I assured them, they were all wrong. The final mileage total was 5.4, and in every mathematics class I’ve ever taken results in a rounded value of 5 miles. Just like I said… 5 miles!
Announcements: June1 PT test, the other announcements have already slipped by us before I put in this timely backblast.
Prayer Requests: Gavel’s family, Turtleman, Graduates, and a few others.
8 PAX posted on Tuesday at Midoriyama in temps that reminded us of what summer is like out there. We weren’t playing ultimate frisbee so a lot of people didn’t show up(meow).
Warmup:
Some stretches then a mosey to the far soccer field.
The Thang:
Today we are going to keep it super simple and see how far we can go. 5 exercises starting with 5 reps each then run a lap. Next round we will go up by 5 and rinse and repeat. The exercises were Merkins, WWIIs, Squats, CDDs, and Lunges. We made it to 30 or 6 rounds or 105 reps of each then took the long way back. Simple and effective. Blart couldn’t believe I actually wasted paper and wrote this done.

thanks for the opportunity to lead!
Sometimes in boot camp, the workout is truly just to run the dickens out of the recruits. Stretch them at paces that make them push, or break. On this day, Blueprint did just that: run the PAX, make each one lead their own pace, push their comforts, and sprinkle in some occasional work such as wall sits, dirty hookups, and finishing it off with around the clock big boys and triple bear (a Blueprint special). In all, the PAX ran approximately 2.75 miles and got in some extra work. A simple, yet very effective workout.
After a tornado-like storm swept through Gaston County in the wee hours of the morning, I wasn’t sure what kind of conditions to expect at The Yank. Though the clouds had moved on, I arrived at Stowe Park to find a storm of 5 – yes, 5 – FNG’s along with 13 pax ready to rock & roll. Come to find out that all 5 FNG’s were visiting Brutus and Big Lizard from Ann Arbor, Michigan. With just a slight tweak to the Weinke, I hoped to keep them engaged for the full 60 minutes. At 0700 we moseyed right over to the Bunker for disclaimer, warm-up (usual stuff), and recitation of the 5 Core Principles. Next moseyed up the hill next to the railroad tracks. The Thang was a “4 corners” routine. At each corner was 90 seconds of work (pair of exercises, AMRAP, switch as needed):
– Hand release merkins / American hammers (first round, all 4 corners)
– Bobby Hurleys / Superman pull-ups (second round, all 4 corners)
At some of the corners, I challenged the pax with some Memorial Day trivia – wrong answers incurred a penalty of 5 burpees. Even though Whoopee tried to lead the pax astray, Tesla and Watts Up (combination of extreme age and extreme knowledge of history – take a guess who’s who…) knew that Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day, first celebrated in 1865 to honor fallen soldiers of the Civil War. They did get tripped up, though, on the fact that “Decoration Day” was first celebrated on May 30, 1968, then officially became the “Memorial Day” federal holiday in 1971 when it also moved to the last Monday in May. 5 Burpees! Whoopee might have done extra, but who’s counting?
In between exercises and trivia questions and the usual Q-heckling from the usual suspects, we got to know our FNG’s. They’re all students or recent graduates on their way to various careers – none in our region, unfortunately.
For the third round of 4 Corners (Mike Tyson / Flutter kicks), I had to slow down our bat-flipping FNG’s, so instead of moseying to the next corner, I called Carioca for the first two legs and “nur” up the hill back to the start. Time was getting short, but we got halfway through the last round (Plank jacks / Penguins) before finishing out with 2 minutes of Mary. Welcome Bacon, Hose, Laimbeer, Moonshine and Aunt Esther!
Announcements: PT tests and F3 dads coming up in June, check Slack.
Prayers: Turtleman, Jackson Curtie, Gavel’s nephew in car wreck, Big Lizard.
We rucked and did 5 minutes of Mary.
3 showed to Old School this AM for a bully beatdown. I guess they didn’t get the memo that everyone was gonna be at Folsom kissing Freight’s anus today;) Well that’s OK cause misery loves company and what I’m doing today will be miserable but worth it.
Being Mike Tyson is scheduled to beat up a Vine Video kid next month I figured we might as well get in some good ol’ road work all over Dallas. Wile doing so we might s well stop every few minutes and get in some Mike Tysons. We did this until we came to the dreaded Brookgreen and North St. hill. Once here we got to work on Merkins, Big Boys and Squats on the bottom of the hill and Burpees at the top. We finished up with a good amount of time left on the clock so we got back to the road work this time stopping every few minutes for Bonnie Blairs. Once off those nasty hills and back on some nice smooth Kyrie style Flat Earth we had just enough time to go Southbound and Down on Route 66 with Seal Jacks IC. We moseyed back to Old School just in time to get the Pledge and call it a day.
Prayers: Turtleman and his family, Anchorman, PAX traveling, each other, Country
Praise God for everything everyday always
Football was played. Shit was talked. We got ran off by the Lady Bugs. My team won.
The End
This title is very deceiving. Being that there’s a basketball court at river park and there’s usually a large crowd at The Goat I figured we’d play some full court 4 on 4. Well the only Full Court Pressure that was going down on that morning was the pressure Team 1 had sweeping the other 3 teams asses off the court multiple times. Well the rest of us got in some pretty good rounds of triple nickels while waiting on our next butt whoopin on the courts at least. All in all it was a good time and a good workout as well.
