North Audubon Mosey

Thankful for a break in the rain and wanting the PAX to remember my VQ I figured we would mix up the standard Wolfpack routine with some more time in the park.  What seemed like a great idea in the waning light the night before became a little dicey as we tripped through the dark fields of  the park in the gloom.  Thankfully all ankles survived.

The Thang:  After the disclaimer we were off with the last of the 17 PAX joining in as we took off for a Mosey down St. Charles and then back in to the park. Wound up near where we started.

• Warm up:
  • SSH x 25
  • Seal Jack x 25
  • Smurf Jack x 25
• Burpee Run OYO:  Convenient row of 7 oak tress allowed for increasing sets of burpees from 1-7 with a run/sprint to the next tree
• Mosey back to the track to the filed of lush grass for COP
  • Merkin ring of fire with each PAX sounding off as we did Merkins.  The goal was one Merkin per sound off which was in fact much harder than the typical plank and wave of Merkins.  Not what the QIC intended but we perserved and knocked out 5 sets of 17 reps.  Whoops.
  • On the 6 for
    • Hello Dolly x 20
    • Real Freddy Mercury x 25.
• Mosey over to Walnut Street and to St. Charles for BLIMS, high visibilty WTF BLIMS for the passerbys.
  • OYO run down the neutral ground to the cross overs with an exercise at each cross over
    • Burpee x 5
    • Lunges x 10
    • Imperial Walker x 15
    • Merkins x 20
    • Squats x 25
• Slow Mosey to the Loyola lawn where PAX divided in half
  • One group holding an Al Gore while the other did a Jameis Winston to the feet of the Jesus statue.  Once there they hold an Al Gore and while the other group takes off towards Jesus.  Regroup and repeat the other direction with a Bear Crawl/Al Gore combo.
  • Douille points out I ‘have 11 minutes’ which in my haze didn’t know if that meant 11 in or 11 to go. Thank goodness it was the latter.
• Mosey to benches in the Loyola quad
  • R leg step ups x 20
  • L leg step ups x20
• Mosey into the Wolfpack mountain
  • Indian run to the top.  I was thankful I was first in line meaning I only had to sprint once- solid work to the PAX that got to knock out two.  Stairs back to the bottom and Mosey back to the flag.

Nameorama and COT:  The QIC offered his own intention for a handicapped patient of his who died not from her chronic medical issues but from injuries sustained in a house fire.  God bless her and help us remember that God chooses our time and place and we should live each day to its fullest.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead an awesome group of guys.
