/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

EC: H1N1, LED

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Moseyed around the lot, then 25 SSH IC, 15 Imperial Walkers IC, 15 Hillbillies IC, 10 Sir Fozio Arm Circles F + R, Michael Phelps

The Workout: Don’t drop the baby! YHC arrived with a 10 lb medicine ball. Each drop, we all stopped and did 3 burpees.

~1 mile indian run with the medicine ball. PAX at the back runs to the front carrying the ball, tosses it behind him. Once it gets to the back of the line, the next PAX runs to the front.

Next, we all got on our six in a line. PAX tossed the ball to the person next to them, then ran to the front of the line. With 6 PAX we were moving pretty fast, as soon as you got on the ground you got the ball thrown to you.

After that was a Dora. Partnered up, exercises were overhead claps x 100, seal claps x 200, squats x 300. Partner running. Ball could be passed at any time to the PAX doing exercises. During squats, ball was passed between runners.

Final portion of the workout was BTTW relay. PAX holding the ball held a people’s chair for a 5 count, passed the ball to the next in line. Repeated until everyone went.

Mary: 10 minutes left so we hit abs hard during Mary. Went through the circle twice, each PAX picking an exercise each time. I was sweaty during the workout but I was drenched after Mary, solid work HIM!

Announcements: Check Slack, FB. Stay safe out there while running. Wear lights, stay aware. Lots of non-road areas to run around here as well.

Prayer: Pray for the family of the runner who got killed on Sunday. H1N1 had serious gut pain on Saturday, pray that doctors find issue. Continued prayers for DoubleD’s family. Banana Seat’s neighbor passed away young, prayers for that family. Praise for good results of Darby’s child support case, continued prayers for good further resolution.

Workout in the Alley – Watch out for Cockroaches

PAX: , , , ,

FNGs: None

5 Pax showed up and flew the coop for an old school Alley beatdown brought to you by H1N1 – 3 Pax for EC (Cupid, Overachiever, and H1N1) – 1 Pax for ECEC (Cupid).

Warm Up: The Q decided it best to warm-up along the way in route to the Alley workout.  Began in the parking lot with 10 cadence count of BTW followed by feet shuffle on the parking lot bumpers on our way out of the Nest.  Along the way to the alley, the Pax stopped periodically and performed the following warm-up exercises – SSH x 10 IC; Good mornings x 10 IC; IW and HB x 10 IC; and Daisy Pickers x 10 IC.
The Workout: Upon arriving into the Alley, the Q pointed out today’s workout will involve the use of 3 cement filled cinder blocks.  The workout went down like this —

  • Round 1 – 3 Pax performed goblet squats with cement cinders while 2 Pax sprinted to the end of the alley and performed 10 merkins and then sprinted back.  Stations were rotated until each Pax completed 2 sprints through the Alley.
  • Round 2 – 3 Pax performed feet shuffle using the cement cinders while 2 Pax sprinted to the end of the alley and performed 10 LBCs and then sprinted back. Stations were rotated until each Pax completed 2 sprints through the Alley.
  • Round 3 – 3 Pax held the plank position with the cement cinders while 2 Pax sprinted to the end of the alley and performed 5 burpees and then sprinted back.  Stations were rotated until each Pax completed 2 sprints through the Alley.

The Pax then began the return to the nest but not without some more exercises along the way.  Step ups – 10 L and 10 R.  Erkins and derkins 10 count each, then rinse and repeat.

Mary: Upon the return to the nest, finished up with feet shuffle using the parking lot bumpers and concluded with a final 10 cadence count of BTW.

EC: Cupid, H1N1

FNGs: None

Warm Up: 20 SSH IC, 10 Fozzy Arm Circles F+R IC,15 Imperial Walkers IC, 15 Hillbillies IC

The Workout: Indian run to train tracks, 2 hand release merkins

Plan was to do 11s while carrying a steel railroad tie back and forth. Turns out railroad ties are way more unwieldy then I thought and that was not a reasonable option. Modified to some sort of rubber railroad tie they had.

Merkins on one side, WW2s on the other. After we got to 8 we cut it short and did 11 WW2s

Ran back to The Nest and found Dovetail! Still not quite in the right time zone from Vegas. We did 3 sets of irkins, derkins, and dips before Mary.

Mary: 15 HtM, 5 HtM left leg up, 5 HtM right leg up, 10 dead cockroaches. Each PAX then picked an exercise. 5 Captain Thors, Low slow flutter followed by 6 inch hold, 5 burpees (didn’t see that coming R22…), and X-men situps.

Announcements: Slack, Facebook.

Prayer: Crablegs, Shredder, all other PAX on IR
