Ah, it’s good to be back. No Shovel Flag in sight, but with a phone and a proper disclaimer, we proceeded thusly.
Lap and a half around the parking lot to pick up a straggler. Circle up for Warmup: SSH, IW, Slow Squats, Peter Parker, Parker Peter.
Mosey down to the track and line up abreast (hee hee) on the far sideline. Continue warmup by doing the called exercise to midfield, then jogging it out to the other side. High knees, butt kickers, carioca, bear crawl. I need a lot of warming up now, and it cuts down on the amount of time we’re doing hard stuff.
Still abreast (hee hee), run to other sideline, do 10 HR merkins, back to this sideline, 10 squats. Continue downward (9, 8, 7 reps, etc.) until Hopper finishes.
Mary break – LBCs and Flutters. Jog halfway around track to the other sideline.
Repeat the countdown from 10, but with CDDs and lunges, and only running to midfield. Stop when Hopper finishes (again).
Mosey to the bottom of the stairs. Mary break – Dolly, Freddie Mercury and Protractor.
Find a partner. Partner 1 runs up the steps and down the path to the left, back to the bottom of the stairs while Partner 2 does the called exercise. Flapjack until 6:15. My repertoire is rusty, so we repeated some exercises (Merkins, LBCs, Squats, CDDs, Russian Twist, etc). Done.

Well, I am definitely out of shape after my time on the IR, but it was great to be back out with the guys, sweating and getting dirty. My foot felt fine, but the rest of me has some catching up to do. I remember a day when I was faster than Hopper, but he was lapping me all morning on the back and forth exercises.
Great group of guys this morning. We realized that Robin Hood had dropped back during the move to the stairs. I asked Squid to jog back and get him, only to see two other guys emerge from the darkness with RH. No man left alone. Great work, guys.
