YHC rolled in at a very early 0526, planted the shovel flag and greeted the PAX.  Golden Boy asked if I had the Q today to which I replied an affirmative – his reply “Oh.” I asked if that was a good or bad “Oh” but I didn’t really need to ask, the disdained look on his face said it all.  No worries young man, no crawling through mud today.  We were here to kick some @ss today (mumblechatter would be on fire today with puns)!!  Intro and disclaimer given and we’re off (Grinder splits off for “Speed Training” at the track).

Mosey to wall around corner – 20 Donkey Kicks (DKs) on the wall – foreshadowing moment for the PAX.  Mosey back to lot for warmarama all IC:

• SSH X 20
• IST X 20
• WM X 10 Slow
• Merkins X 10
• MC X 10
• CP X 10

Instructions given that if any PAX finishes/arrives earlier than other PAX at any time, no planking, SSH instead.

We mosey off with the HRMS bleachers and track, but need to make a few stops along the way:

• 20 DKs on chain link fence next to lot
• 15 MHs at our customary spot
• 20 DKs on chain link fence on Moss Farm Rd.
• 20 DKs on big rock at HRMS
• 20 DKs on wooden fence in front of HRMS
• 20 DKs on front-facing wall of HRMS
• 20 DKs on back-facing wall of HRMS

The @ss references are flowing at this point.

We arrive at the bleachers behind HRMS.  Grinder must have finished the “speed” portion of his training as he looks like a dude just 45in’ it around the track.  We partner up with the timer going up and down the bleachers.  3 sets of each pair.

• Lunge up bleachers – walk down
• Derkins
• Side Lunge up and down bleachers
• Ab Knee tuck
• Hop up bleachers – walk down
• Dips
• Bear crawl – walk down (man was the bear crawl easy, like going up the stairs as a kid)
• Split squat

Upon finishing 20 DKs on chain link fence.  Then onto the track.  10 WW2s. Mosey a quarter of the track, 5 burpees.  Mosey another quarter 15 line jumps.  Mosey another quarter 10 inverted rows (always gotta mix these in – felt like I was almost 45in’ it a bit next to Harding, he was getting a FULL range of motion in, nice job) IC. Hey, a fence! 20 DKS.  Back to the bleachers, 20 more DKS on the fence there.  Then 10 Rocky Balboas IC and 10 Box Jumps.  Start the return trip back as Grinder joins us along the way, of course there are a few stops:

• 20 DKs on back-facing wall of HRMS
• 20 DKS on front-facing wall of HRMS
• 20 DKS on side-facing wall of HRMS – thanks for pointing out Whatley
• 20 DKS on wood fence in front of HRMS – Sugar shows off going top rail
• 20 DKS on giant rock in front of HRMS
• 20 DKs on chain link fence on Moss Farm Rd.
• 15 MHs at our spot
• 20 DKs on chain link fence near lot

Mary: 50 LBCs – Recover, recover

COT: Prayers to Dick Tracy and family on the loss of his father.  Harding has farewell Q at Skywalker tomorrow.  RED Friday starts tomorrow at Comanche.  MECA Happy Hour at 26 acres next week.  King Tiger 5K Saturday.  The Bear on Saturday too (Sugar does not want to be alone)

Moleskin:  By my questionable count, that was 340 Donkey Kicks, way to kick @ss gentlemen (sorry, felt kind of obligated.)  Great job by all, I think that was a pretty good cardio beatdown and we kept everyone together pretty well.  Nice work by our newest PAX, Package and Project today, way to hang in, it will get easier and you will get stronger! Good to have Harding stop in before his move to TX, best of luck brother!  Nice having Kool Aid stop in a couple of times recently, always welcome!  Have a great Thursday gentlemen, it was a pleasure.
