Double Indian Runs

Pre-Thang

It’s December and the temperature at 5:30am is hovering around the low to mid 50’s.  It was time to break out a long sleeve shirt today.  Shorty showed up decked out in full sweats and explained how he doesn’t do cold very well.  Somehow he just doesn’t sweat…must be nice

Warm-Up

Slaughter Starter – do 15 burpees around the flag

Mosey over to the lamp posts for COP:

• IC: Seal Jacks x 20, Monkey Humps x 15, Plank Jacks x 20, Plank Walks x 15,

The Thang

Pair up for a synchronized double Indian run around the track to the monkey bars.

Circuit Training on count of first exercise:

• 15 Cross-Fit Merikans (1^st round), 15 Diamond Merikans (2^nd round)
• Pull-Ups
• Dips
• Smurf Jacks

Pair up for more synchronized moseying around the track.  YHC will call out exercises (side shuffle, butt kicks, high knees, Indian Run) until reaching hole #16 golf green for some Mary.

• IC: Pickle Pounders x 15, Russian Twists x 15, Hello Dolly x 20, LBC x 30

Synchronized double Indian run back to the monkey bars for another round of circuit training.

Hawg, RY, & Amnesty definitely brought the chatter doing Smurf Jacks, Monkey Humps, and Pickle Pounders – “People won’t join are cause if we just look like a bunch of men doing stupid exercises.”  Whatever, these are what YHC brings to the table because they burn.  Tool was pretty close to a swinging kick to YHC’s crotch on the monkey bar pull-ups.  That brought out a few chuckles during the pain session.

Synchronized double Indian run back to lamp posts with a sprint to the end as the PAX makes the turn off the track.  In honor of our Denver comrade, Revelry, the PAX got into a tight circle for Circle of Man Merikans.  5 reps on each arm.

Mosey over to the pavilion for IC Step-Ups Left x 15, Derikans x 15, Step-Ups Right x 15.  A couple of tomatoes/watermelons/whatever we call women were hanging out stretching in the Pavilion as YHC counted the cadence loudly.  YHC should have brought out the Monkey Humps here just to make a few  PAX members feel a little more awkward.

Mosey back to flag for a quick Plank-O-Rama to finish up the Fitness portion of today’s Backblast.

Name-O-Rama: 17 men showed up in the gloom this AM.  Roots dipped off a little early to get to work.  A few new faces from the previous couple weeks are returning on a regular basis now.  Nice to see we are still growing.

Shout Out: Prayers go out to RY’s Aunt battling illness.  We express gratitude for helping all of us get up this morning to become better men.  As we are in the midst of the holiday season, we reflect that this is a time for giving and not receiving.  Go out into the last half of this week and try to make a positive impact on someone else’s life.  Reminder to bring a toy to next Wednesday’s DJ style evening backblast for Toys-for-Tots.
