After 100 burpees and running up and down Wolfpack Mountain multiple times yesterday, I decided stay away from burpees. 9 strong Pax showed up on a beautiful Saturday morning.
First stop, we ran to middle of Tulane campus and did the following warm-ups:
self love, forward & backward arm circles, windmills, grassgrabbers, and SSHs.
Second stop, we moseyed to Tulane library and did Dora 1, 2, 3. While one pax ran that loop around the parking lot, the other Pax was doing the following exercises: 100 rows, 200 step ups, and 300 American Hammers cumulatively.
Third stop, we ran to the steps in front of Tulane’s UC. We did inclined merkins at the steps. First step with 2 merkins, 2nd step with 4 merkins, 3rd step with 6 merkins, 4th step with 8 merkins, 5th step with 10 merkins, 6th step with 8 merkins, 7th step with 6 merkins, 8th step with 4 merkins, 9th step with 2 merkins. Total of 50 merkins.
Fourth stop, we moseyed to the base of the small mountain. We ran backward up the ramps and forward on the flats to the very top. We stopped on the first level and did 15 hello dollies in cadence, second level to do 20 flutterkicks in cadence, and 3rd level with protractors.
We then moseyed back to the flag with COT. We prayed for Tenderloin with his recovery and Big Willie’s friend’s daughter who is battling leukemia. We are always thankful and grateful to have our physical and mental strength so that we can push ourselves everyday…. but today, we did ZERO burpees. SYITG.
