The Soggy Bottom Boys at Impossible Situation
QIC: Spicoli
Date: 3/9/24
PAX: Lambchop (WB), Palin, Drip, Root Canal (WD), Boo Boo, Cherry Pie, Spicoli (QiC)
YHC was voluntold on Thursday that I had Q duties for the MuthaShip. When Mutton reaches out, you answer the call. #Respect
So with that in mind and seeing that rain was unavoidable, YHC planned a workout that would keep the track and playground areas dry using our clothing. Good times.
As PAX assembled under a light rain, we were approached by possible newcomers only to find out that Fleet Feet folks were about to join our circle. We politely repositioned our circle as those folks commenced with running around the park a few times for fun.
The Thang
Warmarama: SSH, IW, Squats, Merkins, Peter Parkers, Michael Phelps (Cherry Pie arrived as we were doing these), What’sUpDog and other stretches
Mosey to the track:
1 lap warm up around
After the lap, YHC started to explain the next thing when Cherry Pie nagged the Q about when was the workout going to start? And why are these kids always on his lawn?
To help focus the group, we held plank. I then gave the option to the PAX of going the whole time or ending early to head over to Purgatory in time for COT. The PAX chose the latter.
Get the hard thing out of the way: Burpee Mile.
The Burpee mile: start with 5 burpees, then do 5 burpees after 100m/200m/300m/400m/300m/200m/100m. Fun
Warm down lap around track
That got us over 1.5 miles.
Mosey to the playground for a Mini-Murph:
Lat pulls on swings, Squats, Merkins. 10 each then run around the playground. We did 5 sets
Mosey to the base of the Intimidator: run up to Carolina, do 1 set of BLIMPS. 5/10/15/20/25/30
Burpees
Lunges, alternating (single count)
Imperial Walkers (Double count)
Merkins
Plank Jacks
Squats
Finished with 15 minutes left to go.
Mosey back to start. Palin, Lambchop, and Boo Boo needed to go. The rest of us headed over to Purgatory to be with the Dixon family for COT.
7 for Impossible Situation
Moleskin
- During our warmup lap, the rain started to pickup, at which point Palin suggested that the forecast said it was supposed to let up by now, but it was determined that was 7pm not 7am and we just all got more rain in the face.
- Lambchop did not ask once about us trying to stay dry. YHC was pleasantly surprised. Dude just got at it and was outside his jovial self.
- Cherry Pie complained about not getting enough rest from the work week and that he was behind physically but it was hard to hear him since he was out front that whole time.
- Drip mentioned that he must love me a lot to be out in that weather for my Q and groaned at the thought of the burpee mile, but he got at it and stayed at it.
- Dr. Rootin’ Tootin’ is impressive as always having knocked out the Murph at 6am and making the trip to IS for a double down. He’s a machine. #RespectRespect
- Boo Boo had a tiring week with work so modified as necessary. Great to have him out just the same.
- Water is wet. We were all soaked, kinda immediately, especially once the burpee mile started. The only way to find a dry spot out there was to make it with your clothes…
Thank you as always for the opportunity to lead!
