It had been many weeks since YHC had been to Rock City. I felt lost, wandering around the briar patch (i mean grass field). Would I remember where the rocks were? Would I remember how to count cadences? Would Bogey show up to mock me with his singing? Slowly the usual gang of suspects began to make their appearance (though still no Marlin, perhaps the chill in the air is still too much for him). Lo and behold – even a Flag! Disclaimer, and off to the track.
COP #1: Mosey towards the rocks, to the usual flatlands next to the track.
- SSH x25
- Windmills x15
- IW x25
- Plank up for: Peter Parker, Mountain Climber, Parker Peter each x25
- 1:00 elbow plank
Go find a friend in the rock pile
COP #2: Mosey 50 feet to another flatlands, which apparently the mosquitos have chosen to turn into their summer home.
- Shoulder Press x10
- Curl x10
- Row x10
- On your back, doesn’t that cool dew feel good? Bench press x15
Repeat 2 more times.
COP #3: YHC was momentarily at a loss. The plans to follow Oak Alley from the running track towards the parking lot were thwarted by the baseball field that YHC did not recall being there before. What to do, what to do… YHC was stuck and befuddled. Fortunately, KimChi came to the rescue – “Uh, we could just go the other way”. THANK YOU KIMCHI!
Line up at the first tree for BLIMPS with your rocks. After each exercise, head on to the next tree for the next exercise. Use your rocks!
COP #4: Well well, we ended the BLIMPS run next to the picnic tables. So lets head over there next
- Channing Tatum x20, Dips x15, Tatum Channing x20
- Peoples Chair over at the shed with a few curls and shoulder presses tossed in.
- Channing Tatum x20, Dips x15, Tatum Channing x20
COP #5: Need to get the rocks home – following the path that brought us here, BLIMPS again along the trees back to home.
Drop the rocks off, sprint back to the flag and hold an elbow plank for the final 1:30.
Count-off, Name-o-Rama, Announcements (something about a ruck, I guess) and Prayers.
YHC’s father turns 77 today. I ask God for a portion of the wisdom of my father, and the ability to be an inspiration and a guide for my children as he has been for me.
