The Thang

Mosey up from the park on 4th, left on Main, down to 1st Street.  Find some curb for bear crawl to median + 5 merkins + crawl bear back to curb.  Do it 3 times.

Mosey down Chestnut to Forsyth Government Building (the one with the sunken courtyard); partner up.  Partner A runs to stop light at Church St. & 2nd St.; partner B performs high-step burpee box jumps (four high-knees, burpee, jump up # of steps of your choosing).  Flip-flap and repeato until each partner has run 3 times.

Stay in courtyard for Hammer Time:

  • Every time Hammer says, “Can’t Touch This” = Burpee (25 in total, but they came in groups)
  • “Break It Down” = American Hammers
  • “Stop, Hammer Time” = Back on your feet
  • Carioca back & forth for the remainder of the song.

Mosey to the parking deck beside the coal pit for 11s.  1 Pullup + run to the top + 10 divebombers.  Increase pull-ups by 1 / decrease divebombers by 1 each round.

Mosey to coal pit for all you got sprint + 10 merkins.

Return to launch for 2 minutes of Mary.

That’s it.

Announcements:

  • YHC on Q tomorrow at IS.
  • Other Saturday workouts were announced for our guests (SuperMaxx, Alcatraz, Purgatory).
  • VG has Conspiracy next Wednesday; it’s his 40th birthday Q!
  • Samaritan Ministries service opportunities are open for June – December.

Prayer Requests:

  • $5 Footlong’s and Spicoli’s fathers both going through health challenges.

NMM:

  • YHC hasn’t been to UA in minute, which was quickly noted by Post Hole, godfather of the AO.
  • Schlitz, Post Hole, Frostbite, and YHC got our run on. The EC run route, dubbed the “flattest 5k in downtown”, has 135 feet of elevation gain.  Just noting that.
  • As we returned to Bailey Park, several unfamiliar faces were walking down from the Bailey Park stage area. Scam, Updike, and Sweet Roll were in town for the opening of their local office.  Those boys can run.
    • And they needed to be able to run. We covered ~2.6 miles in the workout proper.
  • Good to see Spicoli back after a week or so hiatus, and great to meet Wilbur for the first time. Dude was dressed for “Dirty Jobs” and took care of business.
  • Van Gogh was a great partner and even gave positive verbal affirmation to YHC!
  • YHC didn’t see Woodpecker or Transcript until on one of the runs to Church & 2nd. Honored to have them both here.  Same with Peach, who YHC had not crossed paths with before, and Superfly.
  • YHC was accused of “forgetting” $5 Footlong during namarama. Who can forget the guy who inspires so many of us to keep going?  Okay, guilty, but it was corrected.
  • The Duck was in normal mode, talking about…ducks…and his baseball team….while crushing the workout.
  • Frank ‘n Beans was complimentary of the workout and playlist. How can you go wrong with divebombers, pullups, running and a hodgepodge that includes David Lee Murphy, Bon Jovi, Brothers Osborne, and Will Smith?
  • Drip and Schlitz apparently had a bet going that YHC would incorporate divebombers, Romanian Deadlifts, and pull-ups into the workout. 2 of 3 ain’t bad; RDLs were omitted because it’s not wise (nor fun) to do RDLs on two consecutive days.  Blame Frosty.

Schlitz, I don’t know where the keys went.  Might need to make another visit to that account…wait, don’t.
