Initially, 4 men gathered in the Bailey Road Park ready to kick off their Saturday with a challenge — Macbeth, Landline, Metallica, and Waffle. Moses rolled in at 7:02 with hound in tow, and Mr. Holland caught up to us about 7 minutes later. Here’s approximately what we did:
Circle up in the brp parking lot for:
SSH, IST, Cotton Picker, Windmills, Mericans
Mosey to track and cross the new turf – stop at midfield for LBC’s (Metallica mentioned something about needing more toned abs)
Mosey up the steps to Bailey Middle and to the corner at BMS and Bailey Rd. Mr. Holland joined us for an exercise. Maybe squats – I don’t recall.
Mosey to Bailey Glen and down the hill, then into the Hough sports complex; plank and gather, and we probably did another exercise. My memory is great today 🙂
Mosey to Hough practice field, where they have installed a parallel set of bars, monkey bars, pull-up bars, and tires. We did dips, pull-ups, partner curls (2 versions), and a run through the mini-course — monkey bars, parallel bars, tires, and pull-ups.
Mosey to Hough stadium bleachers for single and double stair runs, 2 footed hops (one and two stairs) bleacher bear crawls, and crab walks.
Mosey back to launch, stopping for CDD, WW2’s, people’s chair, and then a 100m acceleration on the Bailey track.
Mary: Low flutter, LBC, pretzel crunch, W, elbow plank.
Moleskine:
– Fun time with these guys, with plenty of chatter during the long moseys
– Metallica is a rule follower. We’re not supposed to have dogs on the track, sit on school walls, etc. I think he has been doing too much running lately and can’t bring himself to do anything else!
– On that note, a lot of commentary around the mud run exercises and how we they weren’t in boot camp shape anymore. There is one way to fix that!
– Thanks Metallica for taking us out, and for Moses suggesting some exercises. I clearly didn’t have a plan and love the input.
– Mr. Holland has his VQ next week. Thanks for stepping up. Let’s show our support!
