This morning at The Gipper felt like just another training day back in the high school basketball, soccer or (fill in the blank) days. After a preliminary warmup of Imperial Walkers, Toe Touches, and Windmills, all 20x IC, the PAX departed the trailhead and continued our warmup on the way to the front of the Justice Center. We ran, skipped, shuffled, backpedaled and even threw in some Lt Dan’s on the way.
YHC threw down some cones upon arrival, and it was time for agility drills. Three times through for each drill. Sprints/shuffles, sprint/carioca, backpedal shuffle, crossover runs, diagonal sprints, accelerate/sprint/decelerate/sprint, and then accelerate/sprint/decelerate to dead stop drills were the order of the day. Then YHC threw in his favorite for the agility finale, the box drill. Grundy promptly stole YHC’s thunder, expropriating a great misdirection joke for his own comedic benefit. Then Einstein jumped in to generate more laughs. YHC would do well to remember Grundy’s basketball credentials and Einstein’s uncanny ability to make a good joke even better when planning a surprise for future agility beatdowns.
Soccer run back to the trailhead with headers and 3 step accelerations sprinkled generously into the mosey.
3 minutes of Mary back at the trailhead to close things out with T Merkins (20x IC), hip ups (10x IC each side) and straight legged jackknives (10x IC each side).
Countorama, nameorama and then Coconuts prayed us out.
Thanks for indulging my old school nostalgia, guys, and thanks for letting me lead. Hope you all got your money’s worth this morning in the Gloom.
