Field lights are on….Looks like we are getting wet

Field lights are on….Looks like we are getting wet

To be honest, YHC expected about 12 Pax to enjoy Friday’s finest workout this side of Cuthbertson Rd., better known as Impromptu.

When Goodfella, Dasher, Bottlecap and Toast showed up for the pre-run (that’s right, I called it a pre-run), I knew it was going to be a large group. And what do you know, 22 gentleman came ready to do a little work today.  Other than the constant work to see who can come up with the best meme on GroupMe of course.

Warmup:

Disclaimer provided; Mosey to school entrance for SSH, Burpees, Plank Jacks, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, some more Merkins in that order.

Thang:

Mosey to what little bit of an incline that we have, Triple Nickel from trashcan to trashcan, with 5 bobby hurleys and 5 merkins at each end

Plank work while waiting for the six.

Look, lights are on…Mosey to Practice field that we never get to use. Partner up, grab a good size rock

Partner 1, Thrusters with rock while Partner 2 runs 20 yards, returns, then flap jack. When complete, run with rock to 20 yard line and continue thrusters and running until through end zone on the other side.   On the way back, trade out Rock squats for the thrusters and complete through end zone.

Burpees x 15 while waiting for the six.

Mosey back towards the start, lunges and frog jumps at various points along the way.

next: Derkins and Dips, x15, x10, x5 all IC

5 MOM with LBC’s, Dolly, Rosalita, Pistol LBC, and American Hammer.

Done.

Moleskine:

So with the field lights being left on and the 22 Pax that showed up a larger # than I expected, I felt compelled to use it and change up the weinke. For some reason, I convinced myself that the grass was dry since it hadn’t rained all week, but after grabbing the wet rocks and hitting that wet grass, realized that we would all be pretty soaked when all was said and done.  Qfail as I dislike getting that wet.

Despite that, it is certainly great to see the numbers continue to rise with many of the newest Pax posting at multiple workouts. Keep coming out and it will definitely get easier.

Everyone was really working hard out there today and I appreciate the effort given.  It sure did feel like the rock pile now has a much wider selection of large rocks, which was apparent when I saw what was chosen by the pax.  #nobabyrocksallowedatimpromptu      It looks like we tracked a bit over 2 miles today so I apologize to those that wanted to run more. There’s always a next time.  Thanks for allowing me to lead.
