What the Heck is This???

33 degrees…sideways rain…the best of conditions for a workout. YHC was determined to get some EC running in this morning and got just a hair over a mile and was done. Every step was a splash on my planned route. I had planned to do 4 miles ECEC. A point of acceleration for me will be to go ahead and do that sometime soon. But,  I’m glad I parked at the community center with the major construction going on at the normal meeting spot on a day like this. After a mile, YHC decided this was probably going to be the place of residence for today’s workout. Nice awning, a couple benches…do we really need anything else? Did 30 mins. of some kettlebell snatches and then grabbed the shovel flag as promised and planted it in the spot promised and up rolls Bobby Boucher…the only PAX…glad not to be alone.

FNG’s: on a morning like this???
Warm Up: moseyed over through the driving rain to the community center. Promised Bobby Boucher I would give him a lift back to the parking lot. I knew the shovel flag might go down while we left it and it did. I hate that…but it’s the cost of going out even with the weather, adhering to Core Principle 3. SSH x25, Daisy Picker, Hillbillies, Frankenstein, Windmills, Sir Fazios all IC and between 10-15 counts. Finished with 25 SSH IC again.
The Workout: All these moves were previously planned in some way on travels through the happiest AO on earth…with the weather, YHC modified. Did a series of: Derkins, Alternating Lunges IC, Merkins, Alternating Lunges IC, Irkins, Alternating Lunges IC. We did rounds of 20, 15, and 10 reps. This followed with a descending ladder of Mickey Mouse Merkins and either Squats or Squat Jumps. 5 MM Merkins, 25 Squats, 4 MM Merkins, 20 Squats, 3 MM Merkins, 15 Squats, 2 MM Merkins, 10 Squat Jumps, 1 MM Merkin, 5 Squat Jumps. Moved on to a dual move descending ladder of Step Ups and Dips. We did sets of 20, 15, and 10 followed by 25 SSH.
Mary: 20 Counts of LBC’s IC, LSF’s IC, Freddie Mercury IC, H2M IC, WW2’s,  American Hammers x 15 IC, Pickle Pounders x 10 IC, Superman’s x for a while. We finished with Cobra Stretches, Child Pose, Downward Dog, Pigeon Pose, back to Child Pose, to Cobra Pose.
Announcements: Q School Sunday. 3:00 PM, Womble Park. Needmore Ruck and cleanup of roadside to follow, 0600 on Sunday.
T-Claps (Recognition): Bobby Boucher…this guy gets it! Any other PAX who got out there on a ridiculous morning like this.
Prayer: Our brother Forceps and grief, sick PAX, injured PAX, recovering PAX. YHC took us out. We are lucky and blessed men to be out here…even in weather like this.
