Look kids! Big Ben…Parliament.

Lots of hot laps around campus this morning as we tried to cover at least as much ground as our Joe Davis running brothers. Good crowd this morning – guys from lots of different sites, so I designed a workout that everyone could enjoy (or not).

Warmup yog to the front of the church for the usual warmup circle – SSH, IW, Slow Squats, Mountain Climbers. Continue the lap around the church, heading for the rock pile near the baseball field.

Partner up – partner 1 runs to that pole over there with the sign and back, partner 2 does the exercise. Flapjack to 150 total reps. Start with curls. Repeat with overhead press and tricep extensions.

Mosey to the wall on the hotbox. AYG race lap around the church back to the wall – about half mile. Rachel and McGee crushed it. I was close enough to see them finish, so that’s a win for me.

Find your partner, report to the tables in the hotbox. Partner 1 runs to that thing over there and back while partner 2 does the exercise. Two sets each of jump ups and incline merkins (good form).

Everybody over to the hill for sevens – Jump Squats and the bottom, hand release merkins at the top. Finish with three man grinders – sprints of about 50-75 yards for five minutes. Back to the cars.

Mary and plank between most of the sets.

Good times. Welcome to FNG Dingo (born in Australia), who unfortunately rolled his ankle early in the workout but stuck it out. Good to see Wolfman and Philmont – haven’t worked out with them in a while. My goal was to get at 5k in since our brothers were doing the Joe Davis – we ended up around 3.2 miles. Nice work fellas. Thanks to the men from Day Zero, Olympus and Ascent for joining us.

Big downer after the workout when we found that three cars had been broken into during the workout. One smashed window. Three missing wallets. We’re not sure when it happened, but we were never far away, so maybe while we were up front warming up. We’re fortunate that it doesn’t happen more often, but it sucks when it does. Don’t leave anything valuable in your car, and definitely not in plain sight.

Thanks to Mall Cop for the BOM sendoff, and to all the guys for being there.

Thanks for hosting, Gummy. Sounds like a great workout with a big downer at the end. Hate that for you guys. I just don’t get it sometimes.

The $13 that I had in my wallet isn’t going to get them very far. #totallosers.
