7 joined YHC for a mild weather beatdown….ok maybe it was a bit chillier than that.  Forecast said about 27 when leaving.  One pax said 21.  Another said 17.  Before we got to single digits, a disclaimer was given and we were off.

Warmarama/The Thang/Mary:  The Fish Bone…kinda

• Greenway entrance, slow Monkey Humpers, stretch it out.  Still no cars, sigh.
• To the bridge, not as frozen as expected.  SSH & Penny Pickers as we lined up across.  Elbow to instep stretch across the bridge.
• Up the hill to the bench.  ISTs.
• To the 2nd bridge.  Reverse lunges across (Sparky lunges if ya know)
• Concludes “warm up”  to the Gazebo
• Bench step ups 2=1 (Gazebo) & Crunchy Frogs IC (2nd bridge) 20-15-10 rep scheme
• Mosey to “Get to the choppa”
• 180 Jump Squats (bottom) & American Hammers IC (top) 20-10 rep scheme
• Mosey to the “no fishing” dock
• 10 one arm incline merkins IC
• Mosey to Astoria.
• Reverse Burpees (get ups – at bottom) & Squats IC 20 reps
• Long mosey back – 4-5 minutes late, sorry, not sorry

COT:  Prayers for AA (Kilowatt,) Soprano recovery, Detention’s parishioner friend Patrick who died after battle with cancer, and also for Detention’s parents – who both currently have Covid, Mental health for all in these tough times – they wear you down.

Frigid Fishy Moleskin:

• For the uninitiated, the Fish Bone is derived from looking at the satellite activity of today’s festivities.  It very marginally looks like a spine of a fish with the cut outs being some bones.  We generally move quickly along the Greenway with quick sets of exercises and try to get the whole thing.  Not quite like that today.  I swear it looks less so after each passing time we do it…
• Tclaps to Monet.  13 year old showing up in low 20s temps at 0530, well done young man.  Tclaps to Papa Plunger for instilling some solid discipline in his 2.0.  Once he is an adult, he will have friends that complain about getting up at 0700…he will just laugh at how soft they are.
• File this one under: Mystery solved.  Life Alert has been putting in serious work lately and YHC’s eyebrows went up when he posted on a Wednesday, gasp!  Apparently, they are having a weight loss challenge at work, and he is dominating…and appears to want to keep a stranglehold on that lead.  Go get em’ kid!  SYITG all February…don’t be a stranger in March.
• Great to see Detention showing up on the regular, and not just for Exodus 90 Tuesdays.  He is adding varieties to Namearama that include varying degrees of “violence.”
• Tclaps to Love Seat who has increased his posting A LOT.  Posting more at RS, posting to other AOs, posting to The Gremlin.  Great work brother!
• Speaking of posting, it’s strange when multiple days go by without either a Wrong Way or Manwich sighting #ironmen
• Firestone enjoyed the excessive running and was pleased to continue to venture further and further from the AO…
• Master Po looked no worse for wear after a strong Full Gremlin performance, strong.

Special Happy Birthday wishes to my nephew, William!  15 today!  First day of high school football practice for the young man.  Excited for him and what the future holds.  It is bright.
