With the little ones heading back to school tomorrow, it seems summer is coming to a close. In reality, of course, it’s been a mild August thus far, so we’re probably in for a pavement-melting October. Regardless, YHC was happy to have the (ever-so-slight) dip in humidity this morning, though it did little to deter the PAX from sharing multiple stories of splashing merlot (along with specific locations) to our FNG before we even got rolling. (spoiler: he did fine)
Alright, let’s get this thing going…
Warm-Up: Seal Jacks, Windmills, Mummy Kicks, High Knees, Butt Kicks (All 20x IC)
The Thang: Mosey to the justice center garage for Burpees (15), Lunges (20 IC), Imperial Walkers (25IC), Merkins (30), Plank Jacks (35IC), and Squats (40). That’s right, BLIMPS, with some backpedaling and sprints in between as we made it up the garage ramps to the top.
Up top we tried a new one – Dominoes. All PAX line up in a left arm high plank along the curb, and the left-most man kicks things off by dropping into standard plank and doing 5 merkins. Next man, and so on, until all have completed and are now in standard plank position. Then swaparoo, with right arm high. Two rounds of this had YHC recalling Grundy’s Plank Challenge from yesterday, and I called it.
Down to the Justice Center for some quick leg business: Step Ups (each leg, 10x), 1 minute of Rocky B’s, up and around the stairs 2x, Bulgarian Split Squats (each leg, 15x), 1 minute of wider stance Rocky B’s, up and around the stairs 2x.
Over to a patch of grass for Jack Webbs – up to 10 merks and 40 air presses. YHC wanted to go one more, if only to mentally mess with Grundy, but alas, time called us back to the flag for an abbreviated Mary: Jane Fondas (15x IC) and leg pulses (15x IC), each leg.
Countdown, naming and welcoming of FNG Dr. Buckeye (welcome brother!), announcements (get ready for the 10k sando and, if you’re interested, a street-fighting class courtesy of Turbo’s posse) and finally, Moby prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead guys, always a pleasure!
