Matthews Elementary Teachers get Sassy

Matthews Elementary Teachers get Sassy

Some 15 odd (the pax weren’t necessarily odd but it was an odd number since YHC had planned partner work) pax assembled, some looking warmer than others.  Not standing on ceremony here so off we went:

1/2 mile run down the greenway path

Indian Run on the return

COP: SSH x 20

Merkins x 10

IW x 20

Squats (LSS) x 20

Peter Parkers x 10

Partner up on the way to the playground for Partner AMRAP pullups + 2, flapjack and repeato

Mosey to the outdoor auditorium for:

Teacher moving through to the portables making fun of the pax

then

Partner 1 run to the far basketball goal and back

Partner 2 does Dips

Same idea with Elevated CDD’s

Same idea with step ups

Elbow plank demo…wait for it…

To the sidewalk for

Partner 1 bearcrawl to the fence and mosey back

Partner 2 holds elbow plank

Flapjack

Same idea but crab walk

Mosey to the long wall to take a break

People’s chair for 75 sec

Shake it out

People’s chair for 60 sec with 50 arm raises, on arm raise number 20, teacher number 2 walks by saying she did that yesterday, that we were just sitting around and that she had weights in her hands, OUCH! Geraldo was of course the most embarrassed as he is very proud of his arm raises. Costco of course called out YHC saying he should be the most embarrassed for such an easy workout, other pax disagreed with the easy part.

Given incident above, some the tomato teacher can’t do, BTW x 2

Mosey back to the parking area, avoid the teacher parking area lest another round of abuse be dolled out to the pax, fragile egos and all.

A little time left for some Mary

Sid-The-Kid x 10 each way oyo

Flutter x 20, nice Q jack by Slim Fast

Moleskine:

Great to see PBQ back out in the gloom, was good to catch up a bit on the run out.  Welcome to Tough Skins who after the workout declared that it was hard and that he thought it was supposed to be moderate, think he might have confused moderate with easy, it isn’t easy and it isn’t supposed to be, welcome and come on back out, they don’t get easier but you do get stronger.  Pax pushing hard out there, the Indian Run was great fun and something that we haven’t done much of at moderate workouts, maybe a foreshadowing of things to come now that a number of pax are race experienced.  Shout outs to Sensei, Drop Thrill and Whitesnake for running strong at the Joe Davis, great to see the moderate pax well represented and Slim Fast for the double down.  Geraldo was sporting the fashion ruck and Costco was jealous and thought he too should bring his ruck out next time he’s in town (anytime brother, thanks for coming out).  YHC was a little skeptical of Jaws’ nickname, especially when it was determined to have originated from TR but being one of this country’s former servicemen and all was declared to be right with the world.  Dumpster Fire is looking less like one these days and Hacker, quiet though he is was pushing the run part like it was a sprint while Whitesnake, Pele and Drop Thrill were gutting it out calling on their recent racing experience.  Hard to miss Freedom out there given how big the guy is, just less big on the soft areas these days, keep it up brother!  Always an honour to lead this group, or really any F3 group.  Thankful for the opportunity and 2nd F along the way, speaking of 3rd F, a great sendoff by Slim Fast to get us right for the day.
