Old, but not Dead!

Old, but not Dead!

13 Men of Area 51 posted at The Centurion, CCHS to see what a newly minted 55 year old man had to offer.

Warm-O-Rama:

• SSH’s, 55 of them
• Cotton Pickers, 55 of them
• LBC’s, 55 of them

The Thang: All single count and 55 at that…

• Run to apartment circle, circle up and do 55 merkins, single count
• Run to pool, lunge walk down parking lot and bear crawl up
• Run to McMahon Dr and grab a rock: do 55 shoulder presses with rock
• Run to parking lot circle, oops wall is too high, audible and do 55 dips on curb instead
• Run back to rock pile and do 55 curls, then do 55 squats with rock, put rock back
• Run to Panera parking lot: Circle up and do 55 CDD’s and 55 LBC’s
• Run back to CCHS and go to the parking garage.
• Up stairs 3x: first time to top do 55 merkins, 2nd time to top do 55 CDD’s and 3rd time to top do 55 LBC’s
• Run back to parking lot with 7 minutes to spare

Mary:

• Russian Twist, 28 in cadence
• Rosalita, 28 in cadence
• Box cutter- 22 I believe from No-Show
• LBC’s x 28 in cadence

Mermaid suggested early on to double my age in burpees. That would just be wrong, so I deep six’d that thought. The thought of that did scare off Chelms though. I heard some chatter about all of my 55 counts, but I stuck with the plan. Guess I could have done 28 in cadence throughout, but it slipped my new 55 year old mind at 0530.

As said, the mumblechatter was not something I didn’t really hear this am as I was trying to keep this hardcore group moving. All were strong, Mermaid, Hops, Brilleau, Scabby out up front, Uncle Phil and Uncle Rico, smoking it. Purple Haze keeping us in check, ThunderRoad, Abba, Tagalong and No-Show also providing color and Snuka always keeps me running too, respect my man! Respect to all of you!

Speaking of age, some say it is only a number. Well, it appears to me that 55 is a big number and it has definitely snuck up on me. I honestly only feel 40 and running around with this great group down here is certainly challenging and rewarding. I have made some great friends in the 1 1/2 year that I have been here and I am truly grateful.

7 years strong with F3 and I am grateful to this brotherhood. We treat each and all with mutual respect, regard and honor.
Enjoy your weekend guys!
