Bear crawl from the bottom to the stop sign. 10 squat exercises. Lunge back to the bottom. 10 merkin exercises. Rinse and repeat. About half way through, some PAX decided that bear crawls might mess up their manicure, so they opted to run up to the stop light and back.
After a few rounds of this, it was time to head back. Moseyed to the Goodwill parking lot. YHC felt bad that the runners missed out on the bear crawls, so we did 10 Mountain Climbers, 10 Merkins, 10 Mountain Climbers and 10 Merkins before heading back for Mary.

FNGs: Not today!

EC: 187, Cupid, Dumbo, Fanny Pack, Mookie, Pablo, Redenbacher

Warm Up: On our way to the Butcher’s Market we stopped for SSH, Good Morning, Daisy Pickers, Fazio Arm Circles

The Workout: Pablo and YHC talked the night before and Pablo said, “I’ll fill in what you don’t use” so YHC set out to take up half the time. It ended up taking 2/3 of the time…

Thang 1: 11’s at the Butchers Markets with Captain Thor (big boy sit ups and American Hammers IC – 1:2 ratio) on one end and Jack Webb’s on the other end (1:4 ratio). The PAX all stayed together.

Thang 2: Pablo let us in rounds of Balls to the Wall and People’s Chair. Three rounds of each with half the PAX doing that and the other half switching between Mtn Climbers, LBC and Freddy Mercury. After the initial 3 rounds we switched from Balls to the Wall to People’s Chair.

We moseyed back to the flag the long way to ensure we got our second whole mile (remember back when scoring for Rune only allowed for whole miles and 2 max at an AO?)

Mary: Pablo killed us with 6 minutes of increasingly difficult core exercises. YHC was so gassed he doesn’t remember them all. I know we did Freddy Mercury, Box Cutters, Homer to Marge and Pickle Pounders. Fathers Day isn’t too far off so start practicing now!

Announcements: Check the interwebs…

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer: Pablo’s Mom, Fanny Pack’s Daughter.
