This morning I saw a side of Steve that I had yet to encounter – walking zombie of exhaustion! (though still cheerfully smiling). Of course, I had no room to talk, given that in my semi-slumbering state I mistook him proudly planting the F3 flag for scooping poop from our usual warmorama locale.
Warmorama
Arm Circles (10 forward, 10 reversed)
Cherry Pickers (20x IC)
WAIT!!! Who should come flying around the corner and skidding into his parking spot like the dukes of hazard, but Burgundy! (excuse the artistic license, but suddenly he was there)
Back to Cherry Pickers (40x IC)
Seal Jacks (20x IC)
SSH (20x IC)
The Thang
For the Yang to yesterday’s Yin, we mosied along the trace to Lamarque and pulled up to the Marsh where, thanks to Steve’s sage advise for great implementation of “rinse and repeat”, we mascochistically did: (OYO)
25 merkins
15 pullups
10 box jumps
25 derkins
15 freak nasties
10 1-legged squats (5 each leg)
RINSE AND REPEAT
Did I mention that Steve was bright and alert at this point?
The 3 knights of the gloom took to the trace again to regain our positions at the trailhead. I had planned a team event consisting of cumulative calisthenics while alternating periods of cardiorespiratory exertion. As it was just this trio, it was every man for himself!
Each man individually takes a turn running from the start to the middle brick column and back. Meanwhile, those no t running are completing 50 squat, 100 merkins and 150 LBCs. After the last man ran to the middle column and back, the rotation of our retinue ran all the way to the stairs and back, followed by the final run all the way up the stairs and back. Needing more time to complete our counts, the running reversed course with to the stairs and back, to mid column and back, and then back up the ladder as it were.
COT
Burgundy took us out with some words of wisdom on which to ruminate, as well as a reminder that as the holiday season is upon us we should all be thankful for all we have in our lives both great and small. Well said, sir.
