PAX: Mutton, Brown Bag, Lambchop, Booboo

Showing up at IS these days can cause a bit of apprehension.  Will anyone else be there?  If so, more that one?  Pleasantly, as I arrived, two Pax had beat me there and another showed just as we launched.  Hanes Park is a great host to any workout and YHC tried to take advantage of what I could while trying to avoid some pretty soggy ground.

The Thang:

In my typical fashion, we began the workout with a light jog towards the William White YMCA.  We stopped at each corner for 20 squats as we made our way behind the Y to the entrance of HP for some proper warm-a-rama.  It was the usual fare; SSH, IST, Merkins and various arm swirly things.

I always like to get the sucky things behind us and today was no exception.  The Pax was ordered to perform a reverse suicide up the Intimidator.  We ran to the top first and performed 20 Merkins, 20 LBCs and 20 Alabama Prom Date.  Then, back to the start.  From the starting point, we ran back up to Jersey and performed the same three exercise before heading back down to the start.  We did this 3 more times, going one less cross street each time.

Next, the Pax was curious about the work on the RJR stadium so YHC quickly Omaha’d for a field trip to view the project.  Sutton Bros is the plumbing and HVAC contractor and the Pax got a quick lesson in the plumbing and HVAC code that must be adhered to in construction.  Despite being months behind, the hope is to have it opened by mid March.  Reynolds finally gets their home field!

Lastly, we headed to the tennis shop for 7 layers of dip.

It is bittersweet to end the weekly IS workouts.  Hopefully, the new schedule of a workout the first Saturday of each month will prove successful.  I will attempt to find Q’s from Alcatraz and Purgatory and perhaps a few of those regulars will venture to HP for a workout.  If anyone feels moved, please call and audible and organize an IS workout on any other Saturday not on the schedule.  Once we get the numbers up, we can add more regular dates.
