I’m glad I was Q today because I would have almost certainly fartsacked this morning and would have been none better for it. In a age ignoring move I packed a parent’s group kickball tourney (lost in the finals) and a Jason Isbell concert all into my Sunday which had me both mentally and physically beat. 86 joined me at the concert and was committed to posting so even extra incentive for being there and ready to lead- or at least be the guy that dictates and does the counting. After a disclaimer along these same lines YHC and 13 other brave souls were off.
The Thang:
Mosey onto the golf course for a little warm up under the stars. It is really straight up nighttime at 530 in the morning these days and the open space of the golf course, fog over the ponds, and starry night made for picturesque gloom.
- SSH x 25
- Smurf Jack x 25
- Plank Jack x 25
- Arm circles x 20 forward and then x 20 backward
Mosey back to the track for our first bit of running, Indian style, to the pull up bars. A noted weakness of YHC I wanted to start off with pull ups. We paired off and set a goal of 10 pull ups with assistance if needed. Nice job to my partner Bartman for doing your 10 unassisted and then gamely assisting all 10 of mine! The rest of the pax did sets of squats while not on the pull up bars.
Indian run for a quarter mile to some soft grass for some Mary. On the way Seaman pointed out an owl hooting in the trees above and Bartman and others saw a shooting star just to keep the nocturnal theme in mind.
- Russian twists x 20
- Wife pleasers x 20
- Super Man x 4 sets of 15s
- LBC x 25
POW run (arms over your heads) to the benches. I think we may have looked spooky to the oncoming joggers or maybe just really ridiculous but either way it’s painful way to run. At the benches:
- Right leg step ups x 20
- Decline merkins x 20
- Left leg step ups x 20
Indian Run once again for a quarter mile to a clearing. Time was running thin so we stepped up the pace.
- Progressive circle of merkins holding plank in between sets. Completed 7 sets.
Indian run until we lost a six and did a bit of plank. Once regrouped we did a jog/sprint at alternating intervals at your own pace back to the flag.
Count off, nameorama, and announcements. Jazz 1/2 marathon is this weekend which includes time on our well known running path used today. Best of luck to all those who do the race on Saturday. Ball of Man for some prayer in which YHC thanked the Lord for our fellowship and accountability as well as prayed for guidance in helping us to be leaders yet servants (at least that is what I was trying to say!) Have a great week.
