With temps in the low-20’s today, YHC didn’t know what sort of crowd to expect. I figured I’d bring along some coupons (redeemable for extra Good Livin’) and see how it went. A mighty crowd of 15 gathered, with Ollie appearing out of the gloom fresh from some EC rucking. Aye!
COP
Off we trotted to the usual warm-up spot in front of the Community Center, with the usual complement of SSH, GM (nice and slow!), mountain climbers, little-man jumping jacks #signaturemove.
As we started in on the LMJJs, MaBell and Goose ran up and joined in. YHC had to squint to make sure they weren’t FNGs – MaBell in particular didn’t look quite his normal self, what with the sleeves and all. I heard a whispered “uh, we went to A-Team”. It took a good bit of discipline not to halt the whole workout for a full treatment of the issue, but we stayed the course. TClaps to MaBell for owning it enough to write a backblast. Hah!
22 degrees – 22 burpees OYO. Not penalty burpees, but you can think of them that way if it helps. 10 each plus a couple to grow on?
THANG
Count-o-rama and then count 1’s/2’s. Callahan pointed out a better algorithm exists. I guess they teach that kind of stuff at Q school. #someday The more-than-adequately-divided groups head over to where YHC has stashed a couple of ~35lb sandbags, each group in Indian Run formation. Indian Run, passing the coupons back, run to the front with it when it gets to you.
We ran a ways.. enough for everyone to get their turn sprinting with the sandbag. Ended up near the T intersection on the two main park roads.
11’s from the intersection to just past the crosswalk, 10 burpees / 1 merkin / etc. I think everyone got warm. Burt had feelings for me. Not that kind.
Coupon-enabled Indian Run to the big shelter for some bench work: 20x L/R step-up, 20x dip, 20x irkin, 10x dirkin. Hand-release dirkin if you want! #notakers
Indian run back to the start point via the boathouse lot; don’t forget them coupons. #worththeirweightinsand
Mary: Freddy Mercury x30, Flutter kick x30, American Hammer x30, Boat/Canoe x some.
COT
A few folks signed up for The Bull, should be a good time.
Prayers for Coney’s Father (in-law?), 3Dub’s veteran buddy’s wife, Saban’s colleague’s husband, all with health concerns. YHC took us out. As always, a pleasure to lead and learn.
