Kent, I believe the pyramidal tracks are housing development outside of Cairo.

9 men skipped a European Vacation this week, gathering instead in an Elementary School parking lot at 5:30 am. No shovel flag, but our normal (empty) police escort was there. So off we went.

Slow jog over to the field. Line up abreast (what? no circle? crazy!). Proceed with active stretching (I think) by jogging back and forth across the field – high knees, butt kickers, carioca, bear crawl, plain ol’ jog, etc.

Mosey to the concession area (disclaimer given en route – oops). Partner up. Partner 1 does the exercise whilst partner 2 runs and touches the school. Flapjack. Exercises were incline merkins, step ups, dips, jump squats.

Really slow mosey to the nearby dugouts for some active recovery via People’s Chair. Onward to the side of the school for BTW. Continue to the ring of benches around the tree near Rea Rd.

On said benches, do 20 right leg, sideways step ups (I don’t know what those are called). 20 Left leg. 20 Derkins. Repeat with 15.

Mosey off campus to the left. Stop for a little recovery Mary. Continue down the road to the bottom of the hill. More Mary to recover and start the next set fresh.

Triple Nickels on the hill. 5 HR merkins at the top. 5 lunges (each leg) at the bottom. Repeat 5 times. Stupid hill.

Mosey through the trail. A little Mary on the football field. Onward to the front field for 3-man grinders across the field for about 5 minutes. Done.

I knew I was in trouble with Kirk and One Eye showed up. The old “lead from the back” technique would have to be used today. Turns out most everyone was faster than me. I wasn’t last on the Triple Nickel, but it was close. Bunch of fast old men showed up too (IH, Chelms). Really strong work.

I’ll probably get a letter from Corporate for not starting with a circle, but I felt like active stretching would be more fun today. And I knew IH would give me crap about SSH, so we skipped the circle altogether. I did, however, use (overuse?) the Mary-as-recovery technique to make sure I didn’t die. It’s hard to lead from place to place when Kirk, Chelms and One Eye are breathing down my neck. So I’d just stop and call Mary, and I’m not ashamed.

Good to have the PwC gang out at Hyrda – Furball and Delta did well. Furball went back-to-back with DV yesterday and Hydra today, so I don’t expect much from him at the office today. I didn’t see Queen much during the workout since he was so far ahead of me. Nice work. Semi Gloss wouldn’t stop talking to me during the Triple Nickel. I think he may have been sent back by the PAX to keep me company.

Good stuff guys. Fun workout.
