Pre Thang: YHC arrived at 05:20 and planted our new and nowhere near as fancy #ShovelfFlag in the beautiful dry 41 degree gloom and watched as the PAX trickled in. We hit the road with eight and picked up Bad Moon and Tito on the mosey to warmup to make it ten. Early #mumblechatter — Where is Reluctant Yankee??
The Thang: Mosey out and around to LU front lawn for warmup.
SSH x 30 in cadence followed by Burpee Broad Jump out to TD Jesus and back. Plank and wait for the six.
Mosey through campus to Wolfpack Hill. Run all the way up w/ back wards run on the inclines. At the top more #mumblechatter — where is Amnesty? He was with us and now he’s gone. Hawgcycle took off to retrace our steps and check in with Splash who peeled off for a moop. and, we continued…
YHC scrawled out the list of exercises on a column w/ sidewalk chalk. Pair up 1’s and 2’s. 1’s run down the stairs and back while 2’s perform as many of the designated exercise as possible. They were: Plank Jacks, LBCs, Imp. Walkers, LBCs, Burpees, LBCs. Splash and Hawg both returned for the set, but no Amnesty.
Mosey to Wolfpack Mountain for a Merkin Ladder up the first incline. Run to the top and do 1 Merkin, run down and touch the line. Rinse and repeat up to 7. YHC warned of #suddenchange in the event we encountered a vehicle on the ramp but, not today…
Mosey back to front of the park for a Plank Off. All PAX assume the regular plank position. For roughly 4 minutes, hold the plank. If you fall out, begin LBCs until time.
Over to the flag for COT w/ shoutout and some food for thought by Rev
Moleskin: It was great to see 10 men out here on a Friday morning getting better and pushing themselves and each other. It was disappointing that we lost Amnesty, but I just heard from him and all is well. Hamstring acted up and he hung out and waited for Splash for a minute and bailed. From now on let’s make sure we have a better handle on the six and make sure to notify the front of the group if we need to plank up and wait or address an issue. I take full responsibility for this. Cobains to the PAX.
It felt like more, but we only ran 1.7 miles today. Lots of stairs and hills though. That should feel good by tomorrow.
Thanks to Rev for sharing some insight with us about listening to others. It’s important for us all to take the time to really hear what people are telling us whether it’s verbally or through body language, so that we are able to tune in and help each other when necessary.
TClaps to Rev, Sweeper, Splash and Blue dog for flying through the stairway exercise session and Chaka for pushing it.
TClaps to Tito, Rev and Blue Dog for hanging tough during the Plank Off.
TClaps to the PAX for a great turnout. We all got better today. #ironsharpensiron

Tclaps to Roots for winning the plank-off. There were definitely some sixes in the air, but I can’t say that about Roots – #LeadACompetitionYouHaveSecretlyBeenPreparingForMonthsFor.
Thanks Hawg. Nice work today! HA! You know what they say, #planksarefun!
