Ninja Rolls – I meant to do that

Date:1/31/2015
QIC:Reluctant Yankee
PAX:Hawgcycle, Roots, and Zombie and RY

Pre-Thang:  Beautiful weather (Clear and 50 degrees) and a small PAX.  4 Men trying to #getbetter.

Thang:  Started at 7 and went for a 1/2 mile mosey to start things off

On the way through the breeze way – YHC tripped on a sprinker and did a face plant with an added Ninja Roll.  Smarta@$ Hawg requested clarification to see if they all needed to do the shoulder roll.  What a punk.

First COP by Tad Gormley.  SSH x 20, Mountain Climbers x 25, Low Slow Squats x 25, Merkins x 20.

Then we moseyed to the Christian Bros football field for some Burpee Suicides.

Run to the 50 5 burpees, Back to Goaline 5 burpees, 40 for 5 burpees, etc.  for a total of 50 burpees.  Chardonnay’s visit to the site where he earned his F3 name on Wednesday made me think of the first time I wanted to splash some merlot.  That was OBT’s exercise that almost got me.

Tclaps to Hawgcycle who is quickly becoming a burpee champion.  The rest of the PAX tried but Hawg easily lapped us

After burpees a quick mosey to the bleachers for rowing pulls x 10.

Then another 1/2 mile mosey towards the Red Hot Chili Pepper.  We stopped for a COP mid-way.

Peter Parkers x 25, LBC x 25, Donkey Kick planks x 25 ic, Penguins x 25

*some ragged counting by YHC

Mosey to the RHCP / Under the Bridge #nolasmostromanticspot

Chong Li and Gandalf brought this to us back during the training Saturdays in October.  It hurts.

I should have done more but we were short on time and I messed up the counting enough that I just wanted to get out of #nolasmostromanticspot

X20 Step ups left leg, dips, inclined merks, step ups right leg

x 10 Step up left, dips, inclined merks, step ups right

Run back to track at Roosevelt Mall

At the track a quick COP, Hawg ditched us at this point.  LIFO.

Parkers Peters x 20, LBC Twist x 20, Arm Raise Planks x 25 (these hurt way more than I thought), finished this COP with Dying Cockroach x 20.   Roots noticed these hurt more than usual today.

More ragged counting — I was out of it the AM.  However I can feel the burn now so it worked.

Finally – we went for the 1000m from Hades – a gift/ripple from Mr Awesome.

Run full speed x 400m, walk 200m, Run full speed 200m , walk 100 m, Run full speed 100 m.

Tclaps to Zombie for killing it in the 400 and 200 sprints.

Tclaps to Roots for killing it in the 100 – and would have won if not for a helpful Jesuit track team.

Mosey 1/2 mile back to Flag.  Total mosey was just over 3 miles.

SHOUT OUT – Reluctant Yankee.  Reminded us to be grateful and appreciate our blessing.

Always a pleasure to Q.  As I write at 441PM my core is tender from the workout – so thats a good thing.

Please sign up to run the 5K for the Fallen, via Tulane’s ROTC- we will run on Feb 21st as a group for a CSAUP.  It’s a great cause and we should be involved with this!

Also Roots and I plan to run the Shamrock Run. – Its an 8K and just for fun.  Drinking is involved.

Mardi Gras is the perfect time for a NOLA EH.  EH the guy standing next to you during a parade gap.

If you haven’t been out to join us in awhile – make an effort this week.  Burn those Mardi Gras beer cals in a preemptive strike.
