SOGGY FEET

PRE-BLAST:YHC has the Q at DISNEY tomorrow.  I’m expecting a @Full House. This isn’t going to be a relaxing vacation to @Cancun listening to music from the likes of @Boy George, @Moby or @Bobby Dall.  It’s definitely not going to be like going to a Cleveland Browns game and sitting in the @Dawgpound, but you might see some of your favorite TV characters like @Nemo, @Dumbo, @Woody, @Pikachu, @Yoshi, @Aquaman, @Fonzie, @Dauber, or Daddy @Warbucks.  If you’re scared of dehydration and think you might get a @U.T.I., don’t worry the waterboy @Bobby Boucher will surely be there to keep you hydrated and if not you can always run through a @Sprinkler.  We might even run into @Emeril along the way who will surely be filling @POTS with @Kosher Bubba @Gump shrimp with @Yogurt, @McNugget s, and @Wild Turkey through a @Shredder.  If you get sick there should be a @ShamWow to wipe it up.  So jump on your @Kubota, @John Deere or grab your buddy and throw him on the back of your @Banana Seat and get here.  Before you leave the house be sure  to strap on you @Fanny Pack stuffed with @Lipstick, @Axe, @Gillette and some @MadDog2020 for afterwards.   If it helps apply some @Vasoline prior to the workout to avoid an unsightly @Skidmark.  Don’t be a sleepy @Katniss, unlock the @deadbolt the night before if it helps save time.  Who knows, by the end of the workout you all might be calling me @Mr. Terrific.  EC 5:05am. ME 5:30am

FNGs:1 – Dixie Chick

Warm Up:½ Lap around the outside of the turf field, then to the middle of the Soccer fields for SSH, Good Morning, Imperial Walkers, & Hillbillies

The Workout:Split into 4 groups around the circle of the soccer field. 5 Burpees OYO, then each group ran to the four corners of the soccer field and did 25 merkins on the “down”, then bear crawled back to the middle of the soccer field.  5 burpees OYO, then run to corner for 25 LBCs in cadence and bear crawl back to the middle of field.  5 burpees OYO, then run to corner for 25 squats on the “down” then bear crawl back to the middle of field.  5 burpees OYO, run to the corner for 25 plank jacks in cadence then bear crawl back to the middle of field – end with 5 burpees OYO.

Moseyed toward parking lot.  Got into 2 groups and started Indian running towards the Abyss, many rumblings of what was to come next, but to everyone’s surprise we proceeded to run past and around the baseball field back out to the main road.  Took a right on the main road and followed it all the way to the Path behind the turf soccer fields. Stopped at the hill behind the turf soccer fields.

At the hill we prepared ourselves for the fun of 11’s!  Monkey Humpers at the bottom and wide grip merkins at the top.  We started with 1 Monkey Humper at bottom and climbed the WET slippery hill for 10 wide grip merkins at the top and made it through the entire set with a LOT of groaning and moaning – but we made it.

After this we got back into out 2 Indian run groups at the bottom of the hill and continued our Indian runs around the turf fields back to the parking lot – once we hit the parking lot we had a Jail Break to the cars where we proceeded to circle up for Mary.

Mary:With time short, we did 20 count of Low Slow Flutters in cadence and a set of American Hammers to 20 in cadence.

FNGs: None

Warm Up:  Lap around the outside of the turf field, then Good Morning, Frankenstein, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps
The Workout:  So many of our workouts are total body, head-to-toe, as they should be.  But sometimes I miss the specific body part burnout beat downs.  Last week’s Downtown Train was a good fix for me, with an 80/20 upper body/legs ratio, with some cardio sprinkled in between, the chest and arms were feeling it.  I almost went that route again today but decided to revisit the ass-kicking I experienced with LED’s IronPax Week 1 challenge, specifically the murder bunnies that had me walking funny for a couple days afterward.  I didn’t need to bring the whole routine, just wanted to have another taste.

To soften the blow we started with 11’s at the Abyss.  I need to work on my lighting technique because, as an afterthought, put my headlamp on the steps to light the way but it seemed to mostly just blind us on the way up.  Perhaps a more indirect lighting approach would be better – direct the beam into the bushes and run by ambient light.  Anyway, merkins up top, squats at the bottom.  Vanilla, I know.  Whatever.  But I once again mismanaged time, realized we were going over and called an audible after round 7 or 8.  Headed to the bush to hand out coupons, then over to the turf with them.

PAX lined up on one sideline, I paced off about 25 yards and we murder-bunnied that distance, then 25 merkins.  Reverse MB back to the start, then 10 blockee thrusters.  I planned on doing two rounds of this but with time running short, we did a quick recover mosey to the opposite sideline and back, then returned our coupons.
Mary: The usual, unimaginative, but effective with short time – LBC 20 count IC, Low Slow Flutters, then to get my upper body fix in, 10 slow-mo merkins (4 count down, 4 count up =1).
