The best laid plans
All Harrisburg BackblastsDecember 17th, 2019
YHC was pretty excited when he saw the forecasted temperature for his beatdown at the Ridge. 60 degrees sounded pretty awesome for December 17. He planned to bring out the 7 of Diamonds again and get a good bit of running in this morning. However, the rain moved in sooner than expected and some changes were made to the plan. 12 men came out this morning despite the threat of rain and one man came out because he was unaware of the threat of rain. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. No matter, all who posted put in some work. Here’s what they did.
Mosey to portico. Disclaimer given.

Seven of Diamonds – The plan was to run the perimeter of the parking lot and perform the following exercises at each corner. YHC called an audible and we did the exercises under the portico and ran out to Raging Ridge and back, then did the next exercise. I don’t think we stayed any drier than running in the parking lot but at least we didn’t have to do burpees, flutter kicks and LBC in the puddles.
Lap 1 – Burpees x7
Lap 2 – 4 count flutter kick x14
Lap 3 – Merkins x21
Lap 4 – Squats x28
Lap 5 – Plankjacks x21
Lap 6 – LBC x14
Lap 7 – Lunges x7 each leg
Wall of Fire – All Pax in People’s Chair. Pax at each end of the line does 10 merkins, 10 squats and 10 WWII. As each one finishes and returns to People’s Chair, the next man does the exercises. Repeat-o.
Line of Fire – All Pax plank up. First Pax does SSH x15, resumes plank, next man SSH x15, etc. until all PAX have done SSH.
Lunges x15 IC
Roxanne – Performed while listening to Roxanne by The Police. Start in plank position. Every time Sting sings Roxanne, do a merkin. Every time he sings red light, do a plank jack.

- Thanks for coming out even though the forecast didn’t look so great. At least it was warm.
- If you did all the running, you got about 2 miles in.
- All the Pax were appreciative of Sheepdog requesting Roxanne.
