Mud Run……Without The Mud!!

Mud Run……Without The Mud!!

16 hearty dudes showed up at PDS on this beautiful spring morning for a workout.  The number “16” was perfect as YHC had a mud run training plan so we were able to split into 4 four man teams.  For those of you who have been to Providence Day’s campus, you realize it has no mud….they don’t allow it.  That is actually a provision in the school bylaws……maybe.  Nevertheless, we found a way to use this pristine campus to have an “obstacle run”.  Here is what we did:

Warm-Up:

Mosey to basketball court for quick disclaimer and 25 SSH.  We counted off in fours (that proved to be the toughest part of the workout) and off we went for an orientation lap:

• Obstacle #1: 10 pull-ups at playground
• Obstacle #2: 20 Partner anchored sit ups with rock held over head and handed to partner
• Obstacle #3: Partner carry across lacrosse field (flapjack as needed)
• Obstacle #4: 10 Jump-ups at wall near kitchen
• Obstacle #5; Bear crawl/crab walk/bear crawl between cones in upper lot
• Obstacle #6: 10 decline merkins for each man off the the planked back of a partner
• Obstacle #7: Run up one side of the stadium steps and down the other
• Obstacle #8: Sprint AYG from Fieldhouse entrance to headmaster’s house

Each team ran at least two rotations, so 16 total obstacles in 30 minutes…..sweet work!

Circle up for 5 minutes of mary including:

• 35 LBCs
• 20 Flutters
• 15  Freddy Mercury
• 15 Dolly

That’s a wrap!

Moleskin:

Way to keep moving out there boys!  This workout was one where we never stopped…..no chance for ten counts….no plank exercises to catch your breath.  Just four teammates helping each other in constant motion.  I really enjoyed the 2nd F with Blue Rhino, Gullah and Arena!  Great to be with you guys and great to talk “Buckeye speak” with Arena who grew up 15 miles away from my hometown in Ohio….unfortuantely, I think he also graduated 15 years after me so that is where the nostaglia ended.

T-claps to Joker who asked me to take a second orientation lap to cover the obstacles!  Well played bro!

Baracus, thanks for the chance to lead this morning.  I had a blast!

Also, Baracus, thanks for the great take-out in BOM!

Great work boys!
