6 of Highland’s finest gathered in the August gloom.  @Retread was prophetic when he was chatting prior to 0530 that a Q from YHC typically involves the phrase, “Grab Some Rail”.  So after a disclaimer and welcome the PAX made their way towards Shelley Ave for…

WARMARAMA:

Native American Style out of the golf club and up Shelley

• SSH
• IST
• Weed Picker
• Hillbilly
• Toy Soldier

THE THANG:

The PAX was instructed to Grab Some Rail for the following sequence

• Dips
• Incline Merkins
• Decline Merkins
• Hold Halfway Down

10 count this time

Native American Run up Shelly with some upper body stretches

• Large Single Arm Circles
• Huggin and Lovin of Thyself

On the sidewalk for some legs

• Squats
• Jump Squats
• Lower Half Squats
• Hold Halfway Down

10 count

Native American Run back down Shelley with some lower body stretches

• Legs Together
• Legs Wide (center, left and right)

Repeato with reps of 15, 20 and 15 traversing up and down Shelley.

Head back to golf club with Native American MARY:

• LBC
• Reverse Crunch
• Pretzel Crunch
• Low Flutter
• Low Dolly

Circled up in the parking lot

• The W
• Box Cutter

COT and BOM!

The Moleskin:

1. Great work today men!  Enjoyed meeting @ThickBurger and @10Cent.
2. Thanks to @Hugo for wearing a headlamp as Shelley stays pretty dark until about 0600 this time of year.  Nice to have buses flying not around the corner when feet are on the rail.
3. Speaking of safety, the PAX may have coined a new designation for the man who has a phone on his wrist.  It has been recommended to have a phone if the workout travels outside the parking out.  YHC noticed @ThickBurger had an Apple Watch and asked if he would be the Dick Tracy.  YHC may have paused between with those two words, but since we were meeting for the first time the pause wasn’t too long and was followed with some good natured mumblechatter.
4. @10Cent completely skipped over @#1 during the Circle of Trust.  It was concluded it wasn’t motivated by disrespect for the RESPECT.  @10Cent just wanted it to be over!
5. Stretching during a workout during the Native American Run felt nice.  We’ll do that again.

Always an honor to lead the PAX!
