On the Greenway
All All MECA BackblastsSeptember 6th, 2016
The air was cool(er) and the humidity down but I still managed to fog up my glasses – and that was during the SSH! 8 Stoners fought the sack and landed in the parking lot for a Schnitzel Q that went a little like this:
Disclaimer
Warm a Rama
Mosey a new route up hill next to natural area (Whatley gardens) and up the entrance, down the sidewalk and back to the lower lot area. Some inch worm merkins and toy soldiers and lunges w twist to help loosen up.

Always a pleasure, men. Good to have you all come out this morning. 3 years ago yesterday, Hammer coined the name Schnitzel, and so I borrowed a lot from that workout.
- Milkbone’s brother Earl just had back surgery, so keep him in your prayers as he recovers.
- Waterboy’s pastor/wife Emily had baby girl named Joy, prematurely. Prayer of thanks for new life and for healthy start to life together.
- Pray for folks in Louisiana and cleanup efforts that are ongoing.
Aye!

This Friday, 9/9 is Bell Buster at Christian Brothers – plus Rolling Stone turns 2. Come on out, if you haven’t been or don’t have a KB we’ll have an extra.
Also 9/16 is another bootcamp at grounds of Sirius, if you missed last time or want to give it another go, Haskell leading the charge there.
Sorry I missed it – tapering….Never in my life did I think I’d miss getting up at 445 to go workout!
Thanks for the lead, Schnitzel- the workout seemed to focus on the shoulders/deltoids today. FYI- I think the Ty Webb exercise was the Pickle Pounder…
The time on the greenway was a nice prelude to the Cruise tomorrow. 5:30 am, some running with pain stations to keep the PAX together.
Until next time.
Sounds terribly wonderful! Traveling early! Hey how did the shovel flag get there??
@Whatley – we were wondering the same thing – how did you know the flag was there? Hmmmm.
Thanks schnitzel! Till next time men
Thanks to all the shoulder workout I couldn’t take any notes in classes today! Doesn’t matter though as it gave me a chance to catch up on the sleep I missed. I actually had a good time.
@MarieCalendar this morning was the first time I’ve made it through your Homer to Marge medley without having to rest, and that’s saying a lot.
I’ll be taking center stage for my 1-year F3 Birthday next Tuesday.
Until then…
