Centurion Ladder

Centurion Ladder

15 gathered for some Friday festivities. Veteran crew so brief disclaimer was given before departing.  Mosey down Little to Walsh to the apartment complex entrance for a warm-up consisting of Imperial Squat Walkers, Mountain Climbers & Peter Parkers.  One thing to add… there was a surprisingly high level of traffic whizzing by and a heavy mosquito population.

The THANG:

Mosey to office parking lot off Walsh for the beginning of the Merkin Ladder.  Run across lot for 20 merkins and back for 19 merkins.  Keep going back and forth decreasing the count by 1 until completing 16 Merkins.  A little Mary action before heading to the fence of the football field facing the parking deck.  Leg lifts while holding fence then bear crawl to the parking deck wall for Donkey kicks and run back to fence.  3 rounds of 5, 10 & 15 exercises each.  Mosey inside bottom level of parking deck for round 2 of merkin ladder.  15 reps down to 11.  Run upstairs to top level for some Mary. (Heels to Heaven, Flutter, Dolly & American Hammer).  Time for round 3 of the merkin ladder…  10 reps down to 6.  Mosey over to old library (now hospice office) to grab some lifting rocks.  Lots of standing water and tight quarters so there was some improvising.  Partner up for some curls and presses.  Partner 2 performs 5 burpees while partner 1 lifts. Total of 2 rounds before returning to launch lot for final round of merkin ladder.  5 reps down to 1.

COT:

Great crew today for a total of 210 merkins for those counting.  A special thanks to Champagne, Lorax, Mermaid & Shrink Wrap for helping with trash pick up.  There was not as much trash as normal but we still filled a few bags.  Special prayers for Cooter as he begins radiation on a cancerous tumor on his knee today.  Pray for the radiation to shrink the mass so the surgical procedure in 6 weeks will be less invasive. The radiation treatments will occur every Monday between Noon & 1pm.  Thank you Cooter for opening up to the PAX.  We will continue to take prayer requests each week after announcements and prior to the close out prayer.
