12 gathered on the smooth asphalt of Greenbrier Farms on the chilly morning of March 8. After the traditional breakfast of side straddle hops, arm twirly things, michael phelps (and a few stretches for weary muscles) the PAX moseyed to road for the first exercise:

The Triple Nickel.

Run 200 yards. Complete 5 WWIIs…run back to the start, complete 5 more WWIIs. We were supposed to repeat this 5x. However, YHC grew bored/tiresome after 3 sets. So we abbreviated to 3 sets…this seemed more appropriate for the title anyway.

We moseyed our way back to the parking lot and began the next exercise: The Sleep Walker.

1 squat, 2 Toe Touches, 3 Lunges
2 squat, 4 Toe Touches, 6 lunges

Everybody was on their own. We stopped when most had reached around 6 squats, 12 toe touches, 18 lunges.

Next exercise: The Cooper

• Run 1 lap around parking lot, 10 skull crushers, 10 curls, 10 bent over rows
• Run 1 lap, 9 of each exercise
• Once @Burns reached 4 reps of each we stopped…it seemed appropriate and we had more adventures ahead

Next exercise: When Animals Attack (on the tennis courts)

• All PAX gathered on one side of a single tennis court…no PAX were allowed to go out of bounds
• 3 PAX are designated as the bear (Balco, Bluto, Bam)
• The rest are designated as rabbits
• Bear can only move in a bear crawl
• Rabbits can only move in hops
• When a rabbit is tagged they must do 5 burpees…then become a bear

This was MUCH harder than expected. However, there are few things better than watch grown men hop around a tennis courts. Some of the bear’s became quite aggressive. Knees were skinned in the process of diving after each other. At least YHC sustained a minor abrasion. Also YHC mistakenly tagged another bear in the process of a newly invented bear barrel roll…and mistakenly tagged @Balco who was completing his last burpee. This was a disappointing realization. YHC was back to all 4s instead of a careless hopper. Some rabbits thought they could just stand still. YHC quickly bopped them on the head and reminded they must continue hopping and stay in bounds.

The only thing better than grown men hopping around a tennis court is watching grown men chase each other in a lunge walk around the childhood classic game of Duck Duck Goose. 

PAX assembled into somewhat shape of a circle. When the Goose was tagged they had to pursue the tagger in a lunge walk. The remaining PAX completed a Mary like round of crunches, mutton crunches, seated overhead press and more. YHC think tears of joy were shed by all. If you were tagged…and most were you moved to the center of the circle, completed 3 merkins, and then joined the rest of the PAX.

We continued our shenanigan until 6:10 and then completed a non-aviary version of MARY until the end of our workout.

YHC is thankful that the PAX were willing to try my stupid ideas. Your laughter made my day.
