It was a cold, wet and windy morning at The Skinny. I broke my own rule of long-sleeve shirt when the temp is below 57. At 56 with some strong wind and light drizzle, I immediately regretted my short sleeves. Being the wuss that I am, we started under the pavilion with a warm-up and nine rounds of tabata. Russian twists, squat jumps and Peter Parkers got our blood flowing and let the drizzle die down. We may have annoyed a couple of ladies on yoga mats, but nobody farted, so it was a win overall. We then headed to the track for six sprint/jog running man intervals before stopping at the pull-up bars. We did a round of pull-ups, high knees, burpees and squat jumps before another six sprint/jog running man intervals. We then hit another round of tabata before doing an Indian run back to the start. One more tabata there before heading back to the pavilion for some alternating step/power-ups and dips. We finished right on time at 6:15.

Glorious Monday in April Beatdown
Great group of 20 PAX showed up in the gloom this morning. By the look of the group, I knew they could handle some running. We bolted for a quick warmup and circle time before doing 11s between light posts on the Audubon Park track. The 11s included burpees and squat jumps. After that piece, FNG (Suzanne Sommers) told Yankee, “Wow, that was a great workout!”. Yankee told him that was just our warmup.
We proceeded to the fountain via Indian Run. On the benches, we did right/left leg step ups, dips and incline ‘mercans. After those we did some defensive slides over to the golf course green. By that point, we’d eaten up most of our time, so did a quick round of LBCs and leg lifts. We proceeded to Indian Run back to the flag, clocking our finish at 6:17.

Record Breaking Workout
A record 26 PAX showed up Wednesday morning to the heavy, humid smell of duck shit. We ran quickly from that spot in order to introduce the PAX to some special hip-loosening yoga stretches. Seaman got a little too excited about these and had to be publicly asked to stop the #mumblechatter. Yankee rolled in hot, as usual, and caught up in time for some downward dog action. From there we took with some run/sprints, burpees, then some BrownBag special – defensive basketball slides. We stopped at the fountain for some power-ups, etc., then continued the run around the park to our soft, special, wet golf course green. BrownBag whipped out another special with some Climate Change – PAX in the Al Gore, tree-hugging position. We finished off with some more run/sprints before being welcomed back to base with the comforting smell of duck shit once again.
