Forecast was to be at the freezing mark for Friday morning, so the preblast was sent out, reminding guys to not let the cold temperatures beat you.

8 Dawgs showed up and it went something like this:

Mosey a lap to the ticket booth for Warmorama:

Ticonderoga and Blue Chip made a comment about running, but I told them no fear, I have concrete blocks planned for them.  Their smiles after that lit up the lot.  Honey Do appreciates the running as he prepares for half marathons and Idiot runs.

Mtn climbers

Windmills

ISTs

Arm circles

Michael Phelps’

I knew the next destination was the tennis courts, but we took the scenic route:

Lunge walk to the brick wall, then mosey around the mobile classrooms.  When we got to the parking lot we did quadrophilia the rest of the way to the tennis courts.

10 pull-ups (no YellowCake beatdown is complete without them)

25 Merkins

25 squats

Then head to the blocks.  On the way there, I saw the metal bleachers behind home plate and made an audible to run up and down those.  Bad idea, because they were glazed with a layer of ice and I took a hard fall.  Talledega was the first on the scene to offer aid.  I laid pretzeled around the bleachers for a minute assessing the damage.  The Q-adrenaline kicked in and I slowly got up and we continued.  Sorry for the delay!

Grab a block and take it to the parking lot.

Suicide sprints

suicide sprints with block exercises each time you get to the bottom of the parking lot:

20 curls

20 tricep extensions

20 calf raises

10 curls and 10 triceps (these were supposed to be swings, but I was hurting bad enough from the fall that I audibled).

The calf raises seemed to energize Uecker as suddenly he jumped out to lead the pack.  Hokie Pokie was not to be outdone and was right there with him.

Take the blocks back, go back to the tennis courts and do some broga in place of Mary.  MASH added in some more pull-ups on his own.

Men, thanks for showing up.  This was the mental medication I needed, despite the physical injury.

I urge you all to sign up to Q.  And avoid metal bleachers in below freezing temps.

YellowCake out!
