Seven Minutes of “Fun”

Date: 4/4/2022

PAX: Green Acres, Ziggy Stardust, Crash, Rust Bucket, Cherry Pie, Van Gogh, Lace, Greenspan

Enroute to Kentucky last fall for the Bourbon Chase, Huckleberry played the following clip about relay races being “fun” for van #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL1hLU_LBvs&t=24s

YHC tried to recreate the sense of fun this morning for the seven pax who joined me at the Iron Throne.

Warmrama:

SSHs, Abe Vigodas, not Whirlies, standing hammies, up/down dawg combo

The Thang:

Mosey around the front of the school to the back of the school to the new cinder blocks (thanks, Crash!).  Hoist a block and carry it to the playground.  Instructions were then given:

Timer would be set for 7 minutes.  Two exercises per round with required reps beginning at 2 for exercise A, 4 for exercise B, 6 for exercise A, 8 for exercise B, and so on up to 24 reps of exercise B, time permitting.  If you complete the 24-rep cycle, run a lap and plank for the 6.  If time expires, run a lap and await instructions for the next round.  Exercises were:

Exercise A Exercise B
Round 1 Pull-Ups Windshield Wipers (DC)
Round 2 Dive Bombers Lunges (DC)
Round 3 Merkins Scissor Kicks (DC)
Round 4 Curls Penguin Crunch (DC)
Round 5 WW1s Monkey Humpers

Mosey home for Mary:

WW1s, Gas Pumps, Cheesesteak Penguin Crunches

Time.

Announcements:

The Shmed 5k, August 28th.  All proceeds to benefit Crisis Control.

NMM:

  • The Q was prepared to go easy this morning; then Cherry Pie arrived and opened his mouth. We didn’t hear much from him after the workout commenced.  Hopefully he had as much fun as the rest of us.
  • Van Gogh questioned what the blocks were for mid-workout after we had used them for windshield wipers and as a heavy thing to carry; clearly not satisfied, he was seen post-workout fulfilling the round of curls.
  • Lace and Green Acres blazed through and were seen planking together multiple times.   Green Acres was representing the Carolina family this morning.
  • Ziggy and YHC worked together to avoid rolling ankles in the divots on the track. Next community service action will be to bring a load of gravel to the AO and fill in the holes.
  • Good to see Rust Bucket who was driving a vehicle that was decidedly not rusty. He’s about to make his warm-weather migration to the northern climes.  Say hey before he leaves.

Thanks for the keys, Crash.  They are with my cinder block.  Good job restocking the AO.

Prayer Requests: 

  • Ukraine
  • Giles’s family.

YHC took us out.
