The down hill bear crawls were nearly impossible today at Cletus as the hill was muddy and as slick as owl sh#t. I’m not sure why owl sh#t is so slick that it gave birth to an idiom but I suspect its because they hack up the bones and hair and leave nothing but the slick stuff to get turned into even slicker stuff, but I digress. 15 men posted today on another cold morning in South Wake. Welcome FNG Geppetto
The Thang:
Wam up with jog up to upper parking lot. 30 Side Straddle Hops, 20 Imperial Walkers, 20 Sir Fazio Arm Circles, 20 Standard Merkins, 20 Mountain Climbers
1 Round of Guantanamo with two men working around the circle in opposite directions at the same time
Grab and rock and run across the parking lot, 5 burpees, rock overhead and arms fully extended on a brisk walk back to other side of lot, 5 merkins, repeat 5 times
Jog over to hill behind baseball fields (where all of the water from the fields drains in hindsight). Jacobs Ladder, Run to top with 6 J-Lo Fence Squats (thanks Yosef for coining that one) at the top, bear crawl down, 1 merkin at the bottom and so on until 6 rounds are complete
Jog over to picnic shelter for clown parade. Every man lines up in front of a picnic bench. All going in the same direction, step up on the bench, up to the table top, down to the opposite bench, and down to the ground, up to the next bench, top, bench, ground, etc…. for a couple of minutes picking up the pace steadily as we go until we get to just shy of a run pace
Jog over to tennis courts, partner up and bullfrog across the courts, switch and other partner bull frogs back. Short Mary with 20 Ukrainian Hammers and 20 Freddie Mercury’s.
Announcements: Some men are going to tame the Bull in Durham this next weekend. Godspeed Men!
Prayers: Continued prayers for Yosef’s soon to be born baby
Welcome again FNG Geppetto and welcome back for the 2nd Cletus in a row to Super Freak and Shut In
