Have you ever had one of those morning when everything was going perfect and then…. DOH!
I roll up to Death Valley, seven pax, and no Q.
Well, an appropriate bitter and resentful disclaimer was given.
20 x Side straddle hop
20 x Imperial Walker
10 x Merkin
(and I am still bitter)
Off we go to the meat and potatoes workout alternative for Death Valley – good ole William R. Davie Park.
After a brief stop in front of the preschool for 20 x LBCs, we all mosey to the the rock pile.
The thang
We paired up. Each pair chose a lifting rock.
Partner 1 began 200 cumulative curls while partner 2 ran a lap around the island (rinse and repeat till done)
Next
Partner 1 began 200 cumulative shoulder presses while partner 2 ran a lap around the island (rinse and repeat till done)
Next
Partner 1 began 200 cumulative merkins on rock while partner 2 ran a lap around the island (rinse and repeat till done)
Next… mosey over to play ground and…
Partner 1 began 100 cumulative pull ups while partner 2 ran a lap around the island (rinse and repeat till done)
Next
Partner 1 began 200 dips while partner 2 ran a lap around the island (rinse and repeat till done)
Did I mention I am still bitter!
We ran back to launch and did a burpee at every light poll.
Moly, Moly, Moly (Austin Powers)
Funky Cold barely arrived before Floor Slapper. As both pulled in I thought they were the aforementioned missing Q. Floor Slapper blamed his tardiness on the long light at the Arboretum. My bitter guess was that it was a long snooze before the light. My bitterness increased! Said bitterness did subside as Chin Music brought me up to speed (did you see what I did there) with his training to run a sub 5 minute mile. In the last month of training, he has been able to shave 15 seconds off a mile. It is unbelievable to me the type of goals Chin sets. One thing is for certain we will all laugh about them in the sweet by and by… and his goals may get him there before the rest of us!
Always good to listen to and work out with Puddin’ he always has something good to offer. Haven’t seen Jet Fuel in a long time. He was cranking this morning and was complementary of the beatdown. Also, good to see Tackling Dummy and Harley at the Valley. They are staples at Skunk.
