Humping Down Memory Lane

Humping Down Memory Lane

9 manly men heard the call on this crisp morning and decided to do some ‘humping’ down memory lane.  Back in 1997, YHC bought his fist house off of Summerlin Place, approx. 1 mile from the AO.  Given there are 5 road humps between YHC’s first house and Hydra, YHC thought it would be a good idea to take a jog down memory lane while stopping at each road hump and perform certain exercises.   At 05:30, a proper disclaimer was given, here is what happened:

The Thang:

Two short laps around elementary school track, stopping back at launch site to pick up Scratch-n-Win who was coming in hot and circle up.

• SSH x 10
• IW x 10
• Arm circles – forward, backward

As a group, run down Summerlin Place and perform the following at each road hump

• Merkins x 20
• Peter Parker x 10
• Staggered-arm left merkins x 20
• Parker Peter x 10
• Staggered-arm right merkins x 20

When we reached YHC’s first house (6319 Summerlin Place), perform 5 burpees.  Run back up Summerlin and perform the following at each road hump

• Big-boy sit ups x 10
• Widearm merkins x 20
• Freddie Mercury x 10
• Diamond merkins x 20
• Heels to heaven x 10

Upon completion, AYG back to gym equipment at OP elementary.  Plank up (six inches, right arm high, left arm high, six inches).  Next complete 3 rounds of the following:

• Pull ups x 5
• Derkins x 10
• Squats x 15

After three rounds of the above, run a lap around the elementary school track.  Rinse and Repeat.

With time running short, circle back to the launch point for some Mary and a modified ‘ring of fire’.  We wrapped it up with some flutters, heels to heaven, hand-release merkins, and a 1 minute elbow plank.

Moleskin:

Was a good break from the summer heat this morning and given the rain the past couple of days, running Summerlin and staying on the playground seemed like a better alternative than using the football and baseball fields.  Approx 2.5 mi covered with plenty of hard work out there today, especially Frosty Paws.  While Marge led most of the morning, Harley crushed the pull ups.  Queen and Padre can hold an elbow plank longer than the average man.  Nice to workout with Tacking Dummy and Sleepy. Thanks to Scratch-n-Win for taking us out with a powerful prayer.

Announcements: F3 Golf tourney scheduled for Oct. 27 at 1:00 pm at Old Sycamore, Isabella Santos, BRR.
