Sad Sally

Moby’s song Flower [aka. Bring Sally Up] has been a staple when I Q.  This morning, since I was with the elite PAX at Joust, i decided to throw in a twist.  Instead of doing supine pull ups to the song, I was confident in the skill level of the PAX to execute “fireman push ups” to Sally.   After a confident and thorough explanation, one out of the three groups of four performed the exercise correctly.  For those who struggled [@Skywalker_F3 and @StonecoldF3] here is remedial video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd05K6uKyQw.  I will be sure to send this in a pre-blast or prepare a flannel board to illustrate next time!

The Thang:

Death Valley Backblast: Good Morning Nashville [said like Good Morning Vietnam]!

Good Morning Nashville [said like Good Morning Vietnam]!

The Thang:
It all began with a mosey and 20xSide Straddle Hop, 20xGood Morning Nashville (with lots of positive moaning/feedback) and 20xEmperial Walker.  The mosey continued down between the ball fields where we found a white board.

Think 12 days of Christmas:
1. Lap
2. Burpees
3. Air Squats
4. Pull Ups
5. Lunges
6. Dollies
7. Merkins
8. Monkey Humpers
9. Lunges
10. Flutters
11. Dips
12. LBC’s

This sucker built.  So, one lap and then 2 Burps.  Followed by another lap 2 Burps and 3 Air Squats.  Followed by another lap 2 Burps, 3 Air Squats, and 4 Pull Ups.  I think you get the picture.  Once you got to 12, we started to go back down.  We moseyed back to the middle school for COP.  Did a little Mary (LBC’s) and some more Good Morning Nashville just for Joker – who may or may not have been present for them.

3.6 miles of running with a lot of pain in between.

Those present were:  Sweeny Tod, Dollywood, Marge, Jet Fuel, Puddin Pop, Hopper, Prohibition, Jello, Chin Music, Gaffer, Witch Doctor, Lazy Boy, Joker, Floor Slapper, and Smokey

 

Evidently Geraldo was to Q this morning but was under the weather.  Hope he gets better!
