Running with Rocks

Running with Rocks

Bushwood Site Q One Star <perform odd hand gesture> stepped up as a substi-q on short notice at The Body Shop a few weeks back and shared with the PAX the joy of running with rocks.  YHC decided to return the favor at the best country club AO this side of the Mississippi and here’s what happened…

WARM-UP

Minute o’ mosey.

• SSH x 18 IC
• Mountain Climber x 18 IC
• Nancy Kerrigan/Sun Goddess x 18 IC
• Morroccan Night Club x 18 IC

THE THANG

Grab a running rock and head for the neighborhood. Add in a burpees at the two lightpoles on the sidewalk that follows the Marvin School Road because it’s a dumb idea to add unnecessary burpees.

Once in the Marvin Creek neighborhood, the group stayed mostly on the southern half of Autumn Blossom and the two cul-de-sacs that jut from the street.

• 1st ‘sac – 18 side lunges with the rock
• Faster-than-mosey to the second cul-de-sac
• 2nd ‘sac – 18 Peter Parkers
• Faster-than-mosey to the roundabout for a Circle Merkin to 36 total merkins
• Run on Running Horse to the other roundabout
• Circle Burp on the roundabout to 32 burpees
• Supermans x 18 IC

Repeato on Autumn Blossom

Back to the cul-de-sac we entered on for another 18 side lunges then head back to the school.

Mary with rocks:

• American Hammer x 18 IC
• Protractor legs and arms, 2 rounds through the PAX
• LBCs x 18 IC
• Flutter x 18 IC
• Return the rock with love

Mosey back to COT.

MOLESKINE

YHC learned early on in life to not run with scissors.  He never learned the lesson to not run with rocks… until today.  It didn’t take long for YHC to have numerous mental images of GOB on “Arrested Development” saying, “I’ve made a huge mistake.”  YHC tried to listen to another GOB quote — “It’s not a trick, it’s an illuuuusion” — and that somewhat dulled the anguish.

One Star went for one of his favorite rocks from the pile, but was reminded that it should be a running rock and he opted for a more appropriate size.  Kotters to Krusty (Aaassss Crack) for rejoining the PAX on a lovely morning — he must’ve brought the humidity of a thousand heat-lamped Krusty Burger buns with him because it was not so bad on Monday.

YHC apologizes for the poor choice of 36 circle merkins, sticking with the Bushwood course theme but depriving some PAX of an extra merkin.  Kudos to Spaulding and Krusty for lining up to go early on the burpees and J-Woww for going for the extra merkins.  Fiji and One Star even threw in additional, unplanned burpees on the way back to the school.  Kudos to Noonan on wearing the appropriate attire for Bushwood and it’s great to spend more time on the AO course with Hot Yoga, who recently moved out from city life and gets the work done.

Running with rocks is not as fun as, say, an afternoon at Top Golf, but it’s always good to be at the Bushwood CC.

YHC with the take-out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
