Tuck It and Go….



Tuck It and Go….

14 PAX congregated at a large pink church at 0530 on a warm, muggy June morning for the latest installment of the Anvil downpainment.  For a brief, fleeting moment YHC considered Q’ing the workout with shirt tail untucked, but with the known universe in seemingly unending chaos, thought better of it and tucked the short-ish F3 black Mud Gear shirt into his Target C3 shorts to provide some much needed stability to the PAX.  Cheese Curd was especially pleased with this development.  A surprisingly thorough and modestly sincere disclaimer was issued, and we were off…

Mosey to Astro Turf Courtyard

COP

All exercises x10 IC

  • LSS
  • Shoulder Tap Merkins
  • Sprinklers (will eventually supplant the IW as a COP staple)
  • Reverse Lunge (5 ea. leg)
  • Peter Parker
  • Parker Peter

Activity #1

Mosey to rock pile.  Grab a lifting rock aka one that minimizes heckling.  Carry rock to the grass circle.

  • 10 Curls
  • 10 Thrusters
  • 10 Triceps extensions
  • Drop rock and run hot lap thru breezeway, or drop off, or covered area… whatever it’s called.
  • Rinse and Repeat, 3x total
  • Plank Hold on rock, appx 1 min.
  • Return rocks from whence they came

Activity #2

Mosey to parking lot w/ 8 medians.  PAX was perplexed by the army of Asplundh (means “grove of aspen trees” in Swedish) trucks parked in said lot, but pushed on nonetheless as Suicides beckoned.

  • Starting at Island #1, Run to Island #8, 10 Merkins, Run back to Island #1, 10 LBCs
  • Run to Island #7, 10 Squats, Run back to Island #1, 10 LBCs
  • You get the drift…

Lorax, Snuka, and Run Stopper crushed this portion of the program.  Mary to catch our collective breath, because it was a killer.

Activity #3

Mosey to Hot Box.

  • Derkins x10 IC
  • Dips x10 IC
  • Step Ups x10 OYO
  • Run to trash can strategically located 18 miles away from the Hot Box.
  • Return to Hot Box.
  • Man, that is one big piece of grass out there.  YHC took PP’s question to heart, “So, we are only running to the trash can once, right?”  You are correct, sir.

Take right out of Hot Box.  10 Hand Slap Merkins at each speed hump.  By the last speed hump, YHC’s shoulders were screaming for mercy (“Mercy, William”).

Activity #4

Mosey to rock pile by baseball field.  Mary.  Select yet another rock of respectable girth.

  • OH Presses x10 IC
  • Run lap around baseball field
  • Sumo Squats x15 IC
  • Ditto
  • Front Raises x15 IC
  • Ditto
  • Return rocks

Mosey to launch.  No time for Mary.

DONE

Moleskinnage

Absolutely solid effort by all PAX today, and it was an honor to lead.  We had 3 “respectable” PAX in our midst – Snuka, Spaceballs, and Run Stopper – all of whom got after it with the gusto of men decades younger.  YHC sports a Timex Ironman Indiglo “dumb” watch so has zero idea of how many miles we covered today.  Chime in if you please with the mileage report.  The mumble chatter seemed to be fairly tame, but then again YHC was focused on keeping the traveling circus on task and was less in tune with PAX discussions and diatribes.  Plus, Spackler was absent.  Now that explains the tame mumble chatter….  Maybe he will bring back a pet gator from his “emergency” forays at Kiawah this week.

On a serious note, YHC took us out with a sincere prayer for our hurting country.  Jesus taught his disciples to be “salt and light” to a hurting world, and man, we sure could use both in abundant quantities right about now.   YHC does not pretend to have any answers or sage advice regarding our societal woes, so YHC turns to those much smarter and wiser, in this case U2’s Bono (disclaimer: my favorite band): “Love is bigger than anything in its way.”

It’s really that simple, isn’t it?
