On a dreary, misty, wet Monday morning, YHC was very thankful to see 5 other dedicated men show up to get better.  I had thought and rethought the workout the night before but finally decided to just go with the plan.  Then again, a few audibles along the way never hurt as I had no desire to be a human towel for the vast asphalt parking lot of CMS.  Off we went.

 

Disclaimer- no FNGs, everyone knows the drill, watch your step, asphalt is slippery when wet (and painted lines are even worse right Ti-85?)

• SSH x30 IC
• Windmill x15 IC
• LBAC front and back

 

Mosey to the parking lot for suicides

• Run to the end, 15 Scorpion Dry Docks, run back to start
• Run to the end, 15 SDD w/ other leg up, run back to start
• Run to the end, 15 Merkins, run back to start
• Run to the end, 45 Squats, run back to start

Repeat the cycle, this time with qua-dra-feel-y-uh (how do you really spell this made up word?) going down and back

 

At the steps at the main entrance

• Run up the steps, 1 jump squat at the top, run down the steps on the other side
• Repeat the cycle, adding another jump squat at the top until you get to 10

 

At the raised circle at the main entrance

• 10 Derkins in wiper fashion (Derkin 1 at 1 o’clock, then hand walk over toward 11 o’clock for Derkin 2, then hand walk over toward 1 o’clock for Derkin 3, etc)
• 10 Dips
• 10 second count
• Repeat with 8 / 8 / 8
• Repeat with 6 / 6 / 6
• Repeat with 4 / 4 / 4
• Repeat with 2 / 2 / 2

 

Mosey to the hill with the gates and handrails

• Run up the hill, 10 over-hand pull ups, run down the hill
• Repeat with 8, 6, 4, 2
• Pick up the last man and bring him home

Repeat the cycle but this time doing under-hand pull ups

 

Mosey to the covered drive through under the main entrance for Mary.  YHC saw absolutely no reason to end the show by rolling around in puddles.  Plus, we did one of these exercises to 20 but I just can’t remember which one.  At this point, who really cares?

• Mason Twist x15 IC
• Plank Jacks x15 IC
• Dying Cockroach x15 IC
• LBCs x15 IC
• Low Flutter x15 IC
• Superman x15 OYO
• Plank with RT-arm/LF-leg up for 10 sec count
• Plank with LF-arm/RT-leg up for 10 sec count

COT w/ Prayers/Praises/Announcements

• Praise for our health to get out here and do what we do

Moleskin

Not much chatter today but I’ll chalk that up to the major effort by all.  You guys are an encouragement to me to push, even on the days when the weather isn’t the best and it would have been easy to sleep in.  Kojak rucking the workout still amazes me- props for having the mental toughness (and physical ability) to want to push yourself above the norm.

Thanks guys for showing up today and for following along, was an honor to lead.  Go be salt and light to those in your circle of influence today.  Someone out there needs a word of encouragement, an example to follow, an ear to listen.  None of us are in this alone!
