I’m from the government and I’m here to

set up tables for the Farmer’s Market.

Under the watchful eyes of the Gipper and a suspicious yet curious government worker, the PAX got down to business on time and in an exceedingly efficient manner.

The Thang began with a thorough warmup:  SSH 20x IC; IW 20x IC; Merkins 10x IC; Mountain Climbers 20x IC; Squat Thrusts 20x IC; Seal Jacks 20x IC; and Hillbillies 20x IC.

Mosey over to the Justice Center parking deck for a 10 minute AMRAP.  5x burpees ground level, climb the stairs, 5x burpees top level, run across the parking deck, 5x ice skater hops, down the stairs, 5x ice skater hops, and run back to the starting point.  The PAX got 4 reps.  OK, almost got 4.  Let’s call it 3 3/4.  Gimmie a break; burpees are hard.

Mosey to the Justice Center itself and then take a short 10 count break before hitting 5x 45 degree standing lunges, caricoa to the JC steps, caricoa up the steps, then 5x regular standing lunges on the landing, caricoa down the steps and then back to our starting point.  Rinse and repeat for 3 total sets.  End up at the Veterans Memorial for a Sudden Change.  Burpees really are hard.  They are.  Hard.

Back to the Trailhead for some TRX strength work.  YHC set up TRXs as the PAX arrived and that probably is exactly what made our friendly governmental employee wary.  He was dying to see what we were going to do with the TRXs and ready to pull the plug at the first sign of any property damage or funny business.  But once EiEi dug into the first horizontal TRX pull in a manly manner with a nice hold at the top, all suspicion of unwholesome activity evaporated.  10x horizontal TRX pulls; 20x TRX Merkins; 20x TRX mountain climbers; and 20x TRX leg curls demonstrated that the PAX were there only to improve themselves.

So another Wednesday morning in Covington is a wrap.  Come join us next Wednesday.

One last thing:  YHC is running the 17th Annual Four on the 4th on Monday.  It’s at Hubie Gallager Park in Covington.  Come run with me.  Bring your families. Visit the 15th Street Flyers website for all the details.  4 mile run starts at 7:30 AM; 1/2 mile kids race after the 4 miler.  Rumors are that there is a Budweiser Bikini Beer Mile after the kids race.
