19 men + Hurley the Dog got after it on a damp Friday morning.  Temps were in the high 50's and there was no rain during the workout – so given what we've had recently, this wasn't bad weather.  Night Light made it out for his third workout – and FNG – Joaquin was here for his 2nd post (more on that later).

Jersey Boy was alone for a while and thought maybe he was at the wrong place – but just like always, the headlights started pouring into the park as launch time approached. 

At 5:30 we gathered for the pledge – and we were off.

Mosey around the parking lot with some carioca sprinkled in before we circled up.

Warm-o-rama – all your favorites: SSH, Windmills, IST, Mountain Climbers, Toy Soldiers

THE THANG:

Short mosey to the top of the parking lot – spread out

Hill/Mericans – run to the bottom of the parking lot 20 mericans, run to the top 16 mericans, repeat with 12, 8 and 4 – Plank

Hill/Squats – similar to Hill Mericans (see above)

Find a partner:  Parter 1 performs 25 bent leg sit-ups, Partner 2 planks while holding Partner 1's feet (don't make eye contact)  Flip/Flop

Mosey to the Wall – Peoples Chair with Air Press

20 Curb Dips, Lunge Walk across lot to a Parking Stall, 15 Jump Squats – a lot of mumblechatter – mainly from Hat Trick about the term stall vs. space.  WHATEVS  Lunge walk back to Wall

Repeato – Peoples Chair with Air Press, Dips, Lunge, Jump Squats

Form two lines – Indian Run back to the flag

Reunite with your partner – Repeato 25 sit-ups, Flip/Flop

Bear crawl to base of entrance/exit road

Partner 1 Runs up and around the park sign and back – Partner 2 does AMRAP exercise

Elbow Plank Jacks (each partner does twice)

Squats (each partner does twice)

LBCs (running out of time – each partner did once)

Back to the flag for MARY:

Almost out of time – did one exercise – the one armed Plank Jack.  It takes a little bit of coordination – basically while doing a plank jack extend one arm – alternate arms in cadence.

Recover/Recover

Dreary Day Moleskine:

– The General is a great AO – so many options.  Was planning to run to Robbins Park because it seems like forever since I posted at The General and a Q took us there.  With all the rain – decided to stay on the pavement.

– Welcome Johnny Cash (Joaquin) – Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash, Joaquin is a CFO = Cash

– Night Light posted at The General Last week – and then went to The Murph for post #2.  Was surprised not AO's have coffee post-workout.  The General has its benefits.

– Good group of guys this morning.  Many stayed for coffee.

– Always an honor and a pleasure to be among you fine men.  You make me want to be better – you are helping me get there.

Peace,

Holiday
