Not in the pax list above: Peach Pit from Raleighwood, Steamy (fka Naimesh Patel) Jon Spitzenger (1st Post)
5 REAL MEN met the standard and ran about 3 miles before the festivities began (Tweetsie, Nordberg, Wingman, YHC, Snake Eyes)…then Tantrum and Jon met us for the last 3/4mi.
I got the call to Q late yesterday, so I got right to designing the best workout I could muster…because I care about your fitness. Here's what went down:
THANG:
Warmorama on Homecourt (no advantage at all)
SSH x20ic
IST x20ic
Arm Circles OYO
Toy Soldier x10ic
Cotton Pickers x10ic
Plank Walk right x10ic
Squats x20ic
Plank walk left x10ic
Split Leg Squat x5ic (each leg)
Warmorama, is, now, over…
MEOW MIX (9 repetitions in cadence of 9 exercises in plank position)
Merkin, CDD, Mountain Climbers, Man Maker Merkins, Rock Hoppers, Hip Slappers, Shoulder Touch Merkins, Peter Parker, Stump Jumpers
Mosey to the Playground…ya know.
10 pull ups, 20 WW2 Situps and 20 step ups OYO
That was so much fun…repeato
Low Flutter until all the pax were done
Mosey to Queens Corner
Freddie Mercury…a tradition here x25ic (sped up at the end for vehicular traffic)
Burpee-Merkin Tree Ladder Suicide Thingy
Start at the first tree at the bottom of the hill, run to the 2nd tree, do 1 burpee, run back, run to the 3rd tree, do 2 burpees, etc, etc.
AUDIBLE: pressed for time, switch to merkins.
AUDIBLE: pressed for time, finish the set you're on and meet at the bottom of the hill.
Tantrum led the fast pax (cheaters) in something Maryish?
Balboas on the curb…another tradition at the corner x25ic
Back to Homecourt for MARY
Aquaman x20ic
Jane Fonda x12 each leg
100s
Moleskin
-Great group out there today! Everyone was pushing to their limits despite the soupy air and lack of any wind.
-There was a lot of mumble chatter, but YHC has learned, after much practice, to disregard such attempts at incognating.
-Peach Pit. It was great meeting you today! We were glad to have you and you can even Q next time. I just hope Raleighwood will welcome you back in spite of any isotope rubbing off on you.
-Welcome to Jon. You were in beast mode today. Post a 2nd time to get a nickname.
-Welcome to Steamy (named for the state of his birthplace, London and the state of the atmosphere at his 2nd post). You have a great attitude toward this. It is true, we all started this crazy stuff in some sorted state, but we are all better because we stick with it.
-I'm thinking that Tantrum may get the EH award for the week this week. AND, he even posted on a Thursday.
-Gnarly Goat was leading the pax today as usual (in things productive and not so productive). He mentioned that doing WW2 situps on a sandy concrete sidewalk was only good for exfoliating those cheeks. I'm thinking it must be a Navy thing?
-Happy belated to Tagless. Because you blessed us with your presence, it IS NOT just another day!
-Thanks to everyone for pushing each other today. As I always say: "None of us would be out there without each one of us posting!" I know, it doesn't make much sense, but read it a few more times and it will sink in. Thanks to Spare for giving up your Q. It's been a couple weeks, so I needed it. I hope you feel better soon.
