A quiet affair, but with two FNGs. In honor of Columbus Day, I wanted some kind of swimming, but with no water in sight it was difficult. We had to make due with the wet fog hugging the cool grass, which felt great.
The usual mosey to the rock pile: 20x side straddle hops; 20x imperial walkers; 20x merkins; 20x monkey humps; and 15x arm circles each direction. [I hope the gold retriever duo and their human are ok; we didn’t see them this morning.] Then pick up rocks and mosey on the grass in the fog for some Up and Down: 20x overhead lift; 10x merkins; 20x curls; 10x merkins; 20x squats; 10x merkins; 20x dead lift; 10x merkins. Then mosey to the hill (the closest I could find for an ocean) for some 11s: over the hill for burpees (10 to 1) and back for bench presses (1 to 10). I proposed 2 more sets, but time was ticking so off to the field for a Circle of Mary (the following order is a bit mixed up, hey, it was foggy out): 30 LBCs, 25 Hello Dolly, 25 Flutter Kicks, 25 Russian Twists, 10 Dr. Ws and a new routine from my 13 year-old nephew Jack; it needs a new name, but I’m calling it Cuban Sandwiches for now (as in you keep on pressing till it flat as all get out): on your 6s with your legs bent 90 degrees-ish in the air and with your head down, press hard on your thighs just above the knees for an 8 count, then lift up your head and press for another 8 count, then lift your butt off the ground and press for another 8 count, repeat cycle four (or, if you have more time, more) additional times (great for deep core). Deposit rocks and mosey back to the flag.
[Late addition: I owe an apology to Tool: he was there, Mav was not. Mav, sorry, no credit for that morning.]
