Rotary Merkin Ladder

Rotary Merkin Ladder

I couldn’t think of anything creative for today, so instead I went with the old merkin workout with some running. Or is it some running with a merkin workout? Boys were gathering as the rain slowed down, and off we went over to the front of Smoke. (and Mic Check tried to take me out)

COM:
20 x SSH
20 x IW
10 x Merkin

The Thang:
Partner up, length matters. Well maybe not, but I certainly confused a couple guys.

Catch me if you can down to the shopping center entrance in front of St Matthews Catholic Church. Partner 1 5 x diamond merkin, Part 2 run.

Head across Ballantyne Commons over in front of the church. Rotary Merkin Ladder works like a rotary phone. You run to the first speedhump, 20 merkins. Back to the beginning. Run to the second speedhump, 20 merkins. Back to the beginning. Repeat all the way around for 200 merkins.

Half the group Indian run back to cars, other half get the six and Indian run back.

Moleskin:
This is Goonie’s favorite workout, so I did it mostly for him. He really likes to run so why not. I wasn’t sure how long and far this would take us, but we got close to 4.5 miles. Great work guys. Sorry for lack of creativity, but work has been a bitch, and it has wasted all my brain cells. Or maybe it was the drinking over the holidays. Squid, Goonie, Cold Cuts and I think Rebard were up front pushing hard the whole was as usual. Marlin was kicking ass as well and was close to catching Cold Cuts who is half his age. Nice Work Marlin. I saw a lot of guys who hate running, i.e. Loogie, Commish, Chipotle, getting at it the whole time, but I am not sure if the look on their face was out of pain from the workout, or deep seeded evil thoughts about how pissed they were at me. Hopefully the former. I enjoyed being able to keep the Pax close together as we went back and forth because I heard a lot of encouragement between all the guys. Motivation goes a long way.

Thanks for letting me lead Cheddar and Commish. Thanks for the takeout Squid.

Announcement: Joe Davis rescheduled for this Saturday. Show up.
Goonie looking for a BRR team.
