To the Labyrinth before the train gets here

Tclaps to TomTom for his 2nd post this week!

Beautiful morning 59 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.  A slight breeze.  I showed up at 5:22 on time so no complaints from Douille.  We even had a rare appearance by a flag today!

I gave the disclaimer although the men of the NOLA PAX were too busy chatting to acknowledge it – so I started the mosey.

We mosey’d over to the soccer goal.  Here we did a quick Circle of SSH x 25.

Then we divided into 2 groups.  We did PIMPS.  Pullups x 5, Imp Walks x 10, Merks x 15, Plank Jacks x 20, and Squats x 25.   One group started with pull ups and built their way up.  The other group started at Squats and worked their way down.

Then we did a short mosey over to the Birdwatcher.  Here we did Left leg step ups x 20, Dips x 20, Right leg step ups x 20, Left Sideways step up x 20, Slow Ct Inclined Merks x 20, Right side step ups x 20,  Left leg 1 leg squat x 20 , Hip slaps x 20, Right leg 1 leg squat x 20

Mosey’d to the FLY.  Here we did Peter Parker x 20, Iron Cross x 20, Mtn Climb x 20, and Hip Dips each side x 10.

After this mosey I had to skip a version of 11’s on the hill so that we could finish on time.  We discussed the new Carrollton proposal for a  soccer stadium at the park.   I’m in favor of it.  I hate to see public land go away but I’m out at the park all of the time for soccer and baseball and very FEW people ever use that island of land in the middle of the park.  It would be nice to have bathrooms that weren’t a public health hazard too.  Just my .02 cents.

From there we mosey’d to the end of the Fly by the Carrollton baseball fields.  We almost stopped for a circle by the tracks but after hearing the train whistle we decided to cross over.  Under the big Oak tree we did a quick circle…

Parker Peter x 20, Plank Jacks x 20, Mat Jumps x 20, and CDDs x 20

We ran a little further down the road and we pulled over on the Labyrinth.

Here we did Push throughs x 20 and Leg Lifts x 20  for a version of mini-Mary.

We had to put the pedal to the metal to get the Flag for 615AM.  We arrived at 616AM sorry about the lost minute.  Roots glad that moss monster didn’t grab you in the final stretch.

COT:  Mentioned the Bar-A-Thon May 13.  A Spartan Race in March in Houston.

Prayers for Aunt Julie.  My prayer focused on “Grant that I may NOT seek to be consoled as to console” from St Francis Assisi’s serenity prayer.    May we be better listeners to our families, friends and colleagues.

The loop around the FLY is do-able.  Requires more running then circles.  I had 5 COPS but if I did it again I would do just 4 and make them more intense.

Thanks for getting me out in the GLOOM!
