PAX: Othello, SS Minnow, Clickbait, Uncle Floyd, Battery, Peppa, Hacksaw, Bearclaw, Papa John, Tar Tar, JD

Eleven HIMs gathered at The Ridge for a hopefully challenging workout. When 05:30 came off we went. Here’s what happened.

-Disclaimer-

WARMUP:

SSH x 17

Windmill x 17

LBC’s x 17

Merkins x 17

THE THANG:

Mosey to the back corner of the parking lot. After some deliberation, YHC called an audible. Original plan was to use the entire parking lot, but after looking down the parking lot to where the buses were parked, WE decided that was a corner too far, so the second corner was the road splitting the parking lot.  Four different exercises, a different one at each corner. We did 2 laps.

Corner 1:     Burpees x 17

Corner 2:     Jump Squats x 17

Corner 3:     WWIIs x 17

Corner 4:     Mountain Climbers x 17

Mosey to the portico:

Heels to Heaven x 17

CDDs x 17

Step ups x 17 (L/R=1)

DE-clined Merkins x 17

Run around drop off circle and repeat!

Mosey to practice field:

Wall jumps x 17

Air Squats x 17

Wall Taps x 17 (L/R=1)

Mike Tyson’s x 17

Plan was for 2 rounds, but cut it short due to time.

MARY: People’s Mary: all were 17 reps

Othello: J-Los

SS Minnow: Superman Pulse

Clickbait: Squirm

Uncle Floyd: Prezel Crunch

COT

MOLESKIN:

Great effort by everyone in a warm weather setting. We were Moseying as Battery and SS Minnow joined us without missing a beat. The original plan looked good on paper and on Google maps, but being there and looking at the real route, YHC decided to cut to route in half. Everyone was pushing hard all morning and I’m always inspired by the effort by everyone in this group. Good way to work up a sweat.

Congratulations to FNG Dom, now officially F3 Uncle Floyd. Naming compliments of Othello.  Othello and Uncle Floyd lived about 20 minutes from one another in north Jersey.  Apparently, Uncle Floyd was a local tv celebrity and very well known to both. It’s a Jersey thang…

Good to see Clickbait back out at The Ridge.

Battery is moving next week and will continue to bless us with this presence on Tuesdays and Thursdays as he has to come into the office on those days. Good luck with the move Battery!

Oh yeah, we repeatedly did 4 different exercises of 17 reps each. Sorry for the rep count gentlemen. Seventeen is a prime number, I couldn’t get the rep count lower. Okay 4, 17 – do the math. Someone had a birthday today. You figure it out!!

Good Friday fish fry at Harrisburg United Methodist Church. You can find more info at: https://www.harrisburgumc.org/connect/calendar/

Prayers: Thankful for the Last Supper, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. We are all very blessed.

Peace be with you

JD
