7 Commodores Pax emerged from the fartsack for some track and field work with bricks (i.e., cinder blocks) on this misty morning.  Lucky for the pax, these were the last pavers on the shelf at Home Depot and were on sale for a value price of $1.42 each.  The pax would get their money’s worth and then some.

The Thang:

Mosey to parking circle for lunges, shuffles, butt kicks, high knees, and crab walks to warm up.

Track Work:

400 meter Indian run with 15-20lb cinder block.

COP:

25 side straddle hops, 15 merkins, and 15 flutters.

More Track Work:

10 burpees, 15 hand-release merkins, 25 mountain climbers and 400 meter run.  Rinse and repeat.

People’s chair with 20 air presses.

By that time, the Pax had caught their collective breath and were ready for more work with the cinder blocks.

The Pax partnered up.  Partner 1 ran the length of the field and back with the cinder block while Partner 2 completed the called exercise.  Then flap jack.  The Pax completed 3 grueling rounds of running the field with the cinder block with corresponding jump squats, flutters, and mountain climbers.

The Pax caught their breath again with a series of planks and then proceeded back to the field for 50 yards of wheel barrels, 50 yards of burpee broad jumps, 50 yards of wheel barrels, 50 yards of walking lunges, 25 yards of bear crawls, 25 yards of crab walks, and 50 yards of broad jumps.

Running short on time, the Pax returned to home base for COT.

Moleskin: 

  • The weekly running crew at Providence Day has grown it’s numbers to the point that they outnumbered the pax today.  They are ridiculously fast flying around the track while we lumber around on the football field.
  • It was a smaller group, but what we lacked in numbers, we made up for with intensity. Note to self – don’t advertise for newcomers by telling them we’ll be running laps with cinder blocks. #lessonlearned
  • All of the spectators on the track agreed that the cinder block handoff was a rare display of agility and grace, especially when Tesla came to a dead stop before handing the cinder block off to the next runner. #awkward
  • Good to see Backdraft and his 2.0 Shotgun post again after Shotgun’s first post on Friday at Joust.  That’s impressive for that youngster to get out of bed that early.  He was asking how long the workout was “is it an hour or 45 minutes?”  Baracus told him 45 min but he certainly can stay for an extra 15…his extremely quick reply was “no thanks…got school.”
  • Thanks to Tesla for closing us in prayer.
