Such A Bad Idea

Such A Bad Idea

What a beautiful morning to get out and bathe in the pollen that is suffocating right now.  8 very fit guys and 1 fat feller showed up for a nice 4 miler at Homecoming.  As we were ready to start Recal looked at me and growled “I am waiting for some damn Clydesdales to pull in”.  Yep you and me both buddy.   I at least knew Zinny Boy would play in the back with us as he was up late last night in the sauce and stirring up trouble on the Ol Crest of the Briars Facebook page.  I gave the disclaimer and checked to make sure we had a CPRer on hand as I am a month into Keto, just had my Johnson and Johnson one shot yesterday and I am allergic to everything on God’s shiny green Earth.  Off we went on a long opening Mosey.

That Thang:

Warm up in the back of the school with some stretching, Merkins and SSH’s.

1st Exercise: In big parking lot in back run down to curb Merkins x10 back pedal back to curb at start for Bobby Hurley’s x10.  Five Rounds.

Mosey to Alcove in back for 1/2 Web of Merkins and V-Ups. Mosey back to front of school to bottom of the hill.

I pre-apologized to the guys that this exercise would be bad.  Start at bottom run to the top of the hill and do burpees at bottom do a 30 second plank hold each round.  First round 10 burpess, then 8, 6, 4 and 2 burpees each round at the top of the hill.  That hill is simply miserable.  I’d like to name it Mount Misery.  Marketing Department please make those changes.  I think Gerber successfully lapped us all on the lovely exercise.  This also inspired my title of this backblast.  Let’s mosey to basketball courts.

Everyone was pretty gassed at this point but let’s line up for some suicides.  Worked in some V-Ups and Big Boy’s in between Suicides.

Mosey to front of school for some partner work.  Partner 1 runs while partner 2 completes 100 speed skaters, 100 Bobby Hurley’s and 100 Squats.

Mosey back to start for 3 minutes of Have a Nice Day!

Moleskin:

It really was great to lead this group this morning.  We had some good banter with the group.  It was good to learn about Honeycomb’s son Chum as we were going through the exercises.  He is on a college fishing team hence the name Chum.  Also had some great discussions afterwards at Coffeteria.  Discussions ranged from Wolverine is a maniac on a mountain bike, breaking your putter in a round of golf, Nascar(Scuba Steve has been to every track in the country) and buying ticket for the new soccer team in Charlotte.   All in all a great morning to get out with a great bunch of guys.  I’m sure you all didn’t mean to call me all those potty names on Mount Misery as well.

Announcements:

Rockwell is permanently moving Off the Chain to Wednesday nights.  Locations may change but will always be Wednesday’s now.

Waxhaw Clean Up is next weekend with Coffeteria to follow.  Bring blowers, rakes, gloves bags etc…….
