Yhc and Grover arrived at the Milestone Marsh 10 minutes early this gloom to a clear night, quarter moon, and 48 degrees. As Grover slept in the car waiting for go time, QIC walked around the AO stretching from the prior week of pain. As the clock got closer to 5:15, there was still no one in site. Most of us have been close to or experienced a no show, and the thoughts were swimming through at this time. But as the AO was perused, there were messages inscribed on the court in chalk: Work hard, work harder, strive, grind. Then Grover emerged from his nap and we got to work, a father/son beatdown that went like this:
Construction:
Mosey down to the lakefront stopping at each street.
Karaoke 30 Werkins
Butt Kick 25 Merkins
Skips 20 T Merkins
High Knees 15 Cobra Merkins
Mosey 10 T Merkins
Mosey 5 Diamond Merkins
Deconstruction
Mosey back to the Marsh stopping at each block for deconstructed burpees – starting at 7 and descending to 1
Squats, merkins, groiners, squat jumps
Mary: IC x 10 LBC’s, leg raises, E2k left, E2k right
YHC prayed us out.
Till next Gloom – Akbar
Moleskin
YHC remembered the Q on the way to Grandmas in Hattiesburg Sunday and had to pivot quickly to get something in place. Just so happens this beatdown was the next one on my list. Modification was in store after a week of block beatdowns, intense shoulder work, and pruning 8 trees on Friday – but after a big Easter meal the modification would not happen. So more chest and shoulders it was.
