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.

Pax lined up at the end of the back parking lot. PAX one runs to the other end and back while the next PAX leads us in an exercise of his choice.  Continue down the line in this manner until all PAX leads an exercise. Sorry Blart. I didn’t circle back to you as you were the first to run. We finished just in time to mosey back to the flag one minute late.

Let’s all reach out to each other and build strong shield locks with one another.

Thanks for allowing me to lead you on this Thanksgiving Day!

Mosey back to the flag.

10-6-21 TRB

Ten PAX showed up at the Ricky Bobby to sweep up gravel in the back parking lot of New Hope Elementary School on Oct 6th.   One PAX would run to the area to clean and take 5 strokes with the push broome.  The next PAX in line would lead the group in an exercise of their choice until the first PAX returned.  It took longer than expected but we got the job done.  Thanks to all who helped.

Pleadge – Thanks for reminding me Tesla.

Select a different partner for 200 flutter Kicks.  Partner one does 20 Flutter Kicks while partner two holds feet at 6”, then flap jack until each partner does 100 Flutter Kicks.

Mosey to the train bridge for stage 3 of Lazy Dora being careful not to trip over the ridge in the road at the intersection of South Main and Standpipe Hill.  It’s dark at this corner and the ridge blends into the pavement making it difficult to see.  YHC tripped on it and took a spill.  Anyway, a sore wrist and a skinned knee builds character, right?

New partners at the train bridge for 300 squats and wall sits.  By now, you know the drill.

Mosey to the parking lot above the stairs for Circle of ABS.  Each pax calls out an AB exercise of 10 reps, then mosey around the buildings stopping on the stairs for 20 calf raises.  Rinse and repeat.

Mentioned the following quote and developing deep relationships with our children.

Elder M. Russell Ballard has taught us the importance of the Savior’s admonition to “behold your little ones” when he said: “Notice that He didn’t say ‘glance at them’ or ‘casually observe them’ or ‘occasionally take a look in their general direction.’ He said to behold them. To me that means that we should embrace them with our eyes and with our hearts; we should see and appreciate them for who they really are: spirit children of our Heavenly Father, with divine attributes”

Mosey back to the flag.

Hill Billy Walker IC X 20

Goof Balls IC X 20

Drill Instructor – On the Q’s command, rapidly transition through any combination of standing (“On your feet!”), holding 6″ (“On your six!”), high plank (“On your face!”), and Merkins (“Down/Up”). Speed, order, and duration are completely at the Q’s discretion, with the goal being to test the pax’s reaction time and/or keep them in an uncomfortable position (esp. 6 inches or down part of Merkin). Inspired by a certain Marine at the Spring 2016 F3 Mud Run and best executed with a gruff, barking orders style. Example: “On your face! On your six! On your face! On your six! On your feet! On your face! Down! Up! Down! Up! Down! [painful delay] Up!”

 

Mosey to the steps beside the school.

Calf Raises x20 – Inch worm merkins x 10 – Hurpees x 5.  Rinse and repeat x 4.

 

Mosey to the back parking lot.

Howling Monkeys – In a circle, everyone grabs their ankles in Monkey Humper fashion (or Gorilla Humper, for the fearless) . The first person does ten monkey humpers followed by the next person and so on as in other “ring of fire” exercises. Don’t let go of the ankles! Depending on the number of PAX, two rounds seems to result in Howling Monkeys. This will definitely not be a crowd pleaser, and it might be better to not be seen by light of day in a public space.  Rinse and repeat count of 10, count of 5 and count of 10.

 

Circle of ABS

 

Mosey to the track

 

20 Merkins – mosey across the field and back.  Rinse and repeat with the exercises below.
