Three veterans (and by veterans YHC means old-the average age was well into the 90s) F3ers crawled out of their fartsacks this morning, left their wives, 23 children, and 14 dogs at home to fend for themselves, and posted in the thunder and lightening at the Covington Trailhead. Where were the 30 somethings? Probably playing Pokeman GO in their fartsacks. At least that’s what the PAX concluded.
So the THANG got underway with a warmup consisting of exercises that the three PAX have been performing since basic training for the French and Indian War: SSH, IW, torso twists, squats, airplanes, seal jacks, mountain climbers, plank jacks and some other exercises that YHC cannot remember because of his short term memory challenges. All 20x IC.
Mosey to the Justice Center for some sprints and burpees to box jumps. Starting at the top of the steps, the PAX jogged down the steps, sprinted it out about 30 yards to the end of the entrance alley, and then on the way back to the steps hit 10 burpees to box jumps OYO. Rinse and repeat for 5 trips total, mixing up the burpees to box jumps with lateral jumps each side.
Mosey to the Veterans’ Memorial for the Northshore version of Ring of Fire around the Stars and Stripes. Einstein and Blackbird marveled at the 50 stars. They only remembered 48. Why is Hawaii a state anyway? At any rate, starting in a plank position, the PAX bear crawled to the right, hit 10 Merkins IC, bear crawled to the left, hit 10 Merkins IC, back to the right, right leg up then left leg up, to the left, right arm up then left arm up, then one final lateral bear crawl to 10 more Merkins IC.
Mosey back to the Trailhead for Mary. Bird dogs 10x each way IC; long flutters 20x IC; Hello Dollys 20x IC; side plank hip ups 10x IC; and Jane Fondas 20x IC.
Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama (Respect, Respect, Respect), and prayer. Blackbird’s Virgin Q is next Wednesday. Come out and post with the old guys.
Nice job Respect^3.
Yes, today was a no excuse, total wimp out and use-the-rain-as-an-excuse fartsack of a day. I did indeed however think and wonder who would be posting. You old farts are used to the elements… growing up with no AC and running water and what not. Us youngins are spoiled with wifi, the interwebs, AC, and all of the other comforts that separate you old farts from us youngins. As far as Pokeman Go, I have no clue what it is, but I have no doubt that North Korea will eventually use it as a way to plot our demise without us realizing it until it is too late.
Ei
Definitely need a NO SHOW tag on this one, Turbo!
You and the rest of the youth were missed, EiEi. Be warned that Blackbird is Geritol and liver pill loading in preparation for his Saturday Mandeville Lakefront debut.
HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
