As I exited my trusty steed with 45 seconds to spare, I calculated that this was a grizzled, veteran, high achieving PAX ready to mix it up and give it a big push. The question was whether I could rise to the occasion and deliver considering the hefty fees incurred to participate in such rarified air.Having recited the mission statement as only I can, time for….
WARMORAMA: SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Arm Swirly things since Cherry Pie was not present, Whirleys. We moseyed circuitously out of the slight breeze to the entrance of the medical school for the ….
STRETCHY STRETCHES: A series of high planks and back bendy things that progressed to one leg up opposite leg calf stretches, then L leg to L hand and then one arm up and twisty backs to both hands off the ground and we pointed our one hand at each other for a bit, then back down til we were back at high plank and slowly progressed through the same routine on the other side. Then, on to…
THE THANG: We moseyed down the hill to the rough gravel strewn parking lot where we ambled from one end to the other by bear crawling five steps, one burpee, five more steps, one burpee. Once to the end, we moseyed to the pretty, Christmas lighted tower next to the Tar Branch Trail for the circle jerk known as Ring O’ Fire for two rounds of base 11 merkins and 11 monkey humpers. Since we were next to the long wooden bridge and needed to cross, we ambled using the Wounded Bunny method. Turns out, this was not very practical and there was a lot of modification other than Post Hole, who wondered what the hub-bub was all about. We were not far from the low benches next to the trail behind the pretty building for 20 dips, 10 Perkins, 10 up Peter Parkers, 10 up Mike Tysons, 20 dips, 10 merkins, 10 Peter Parkers, 10 Mike Tysons, 20 dips, 10 down Peter Parkers, and 10 down Mike Tysons with no breaks between exercises. My cadence calls were strained toward the end. Next we moseyed North on the trail that spits out onto 7th Street. We stopped momentarily for a host of American Hammers, WW II sit-ups, Cheesesteak penguin crunches, and slow low plank hip touches. Once again, a round about mosey to the train tracks for 4 sets of 5 high quality pull ups and the newly named Miss Annie jumpy floor slaps, 20 of those. Time running out, we returned to the base for two short Marys.
COT: We are trusted and given talents for the express purpose of taking on troubles. Don’t avoid, but lean into them. Do not conform to the lukewarm mediocrity of this world, but humbly stand out as unique to be the light on the lamp stand that we were meant to be.
MNM: Cheesesteak spent the entire morning having to be pretell the location since he was super fast all day. Per usual, he rarely did the prescribed exercise, but modified to something more akin to what circus performers do. Red Baron and Lamb Chop discussed the nuances of home remodeling. The beatdown was not adequate for those two. Drip and Post Hole can be counted on for a “no complain” 45 minutes, just smiles and flowers shooting from their fannies. Speaking of things shooting out fannies, I have to apologize/brag for the display outburst during the ab portion. Cheesesteak, the keys are on the bridge railing. It is always a privilege to be with you all.
