With temps in the upper 20’s, YHC thought no one would post as it was 5:15 and not a car in site. Oh well, let’s take a visit to the Park camode.  On the way out, lo’ and behold, the Pax arrives!  One, two, three….eight of us present, let’s get moving.  It went something like this….

• Half Ass disclaimer – most important point:  Dress for the weather and watch out for uneven terrain
• Mosey to the center of the soccer field

Warm-up
SSH x15 (x denotes cadence)
IST x15
CDD x15
MC’s x15
Windmill x15 (@Deuce flies in on 2 wheels!!)
Mosey to the track

The Thang
YHC exclaims, “Everyone line up for a reverse Indian Run” then proceeds to run in the forward direction with the last man doing a burpee off the back.  “What happened to the reverse?” YHC was asked, audible……too cold for the brain and mouth to work simultaneously. Before starting, YHC saw @BigLeagueChew limping off the field…..he found the “disclaimed” uneven ground and only hole in the field.  Sorry brother….

Once on the track we did an Indian Run as mentioned above w/last man doing a Burpee off the back (x2 rounds), circle back for the six, lining up on the sideline of the soccer field for a little Tunnel of Love to the opposite sideline.  Line got a little “caddy-wonked” at times but we made it.  Once finished, Plank for the six and then Merkins x10.

Mosey over to the playground where we did 5 to 1 pullups to 10 wall jumps.  Decreasing pullups by one, keeping the wall jumps at 10 (right @Gypsy? 😉 Plank at end, YHC called some “over/under” stretches, once we were all in, Merkins x10

Mosey to Pork Chop Hill – 10 to 1 burpee/air squat ladder.  Once complete, @Christmas and @Gypsy called the ab exercise until the six were all in:  LBC’s x25, Low Flutters x25. Then we did Shoulder Tap Merkins x10.

Mosey to the (invisible) Flag for some Mary.  It went like this:

• LBC’s x10
• Reverse Crunch x10
• Low Dolly x10
• High Dolly (Rosalita) x10
• KTE’s x10
• Pretzel Crunch x10 (L/R)
• Finish with 2 rounds of Broga Up-Dog/Down-Dog, walk feet to hands, inhale hands over head and end in Namaste.

Naked Moleskine
1.  @TheBody ALWAYS knows how to dress for the weather!
2.  @BigLeagueChew – hope the ankle is alright, sorry you found the ONLY HOLE in the soccer field.
