The Thang
Four Corners—ran around parking lot stopping at 4 corners for: merkins, heels to heaven, jump squat, burpees. Rounds of 20, 15, 10, and 5 completed. Caught our breath between rounds with varying numbers of monkey humpers.
Rack ‘em and Stack ‘em suicides: Perform suicide, stopping each time you hit line 1, 2, and 3 (coming and going) for called exercise. Line 1 was 10 MCs, line 2 was 10 squats, line 3 was 10 plank jacks, and line 4 was 10 burpees. (Total of 70 MC, 50 squats, 30 plank jacks, and 10 burpees.)
Mosey toward hot box but diverted to soccer field for Del Brown: 10 merkins, crab walk 25 yards, 10 diamond merkins, crab walk another 25 years, 10 merkins. Repeato, with some substituting bear crawls, lunge walk, or just a stroll. Finish with some more monkey humpers.
Hot Box—2 rounds of fun in the Hot Box. Round 1—20 jump ups, 20 dips, 20 derkins, run around light pole, 20 hand slap merkins. Likely did some monkey humpers for recovery. Round 2—20 step ups , 20 dips, 20 irkins, run around light pole, 10 hand slap merkins.
Long mosey back to launch spot. Finished. Squid with a solid take-out.
Moleskine
PAX were strong, experienced, and young (mostly). So, I had to bring my A game. Plus, Hops and Ickey had called me out on Twitter the night before. Someone commented on VIP, Purple Haze, posting at Anvil. His response was that he was here in case YHC needed resuscitation. Not sure YHC is even up for that. #BeardTickles
Cotton Pickers (old school) inserted for the Respects (Snowflake, Iron Horse, YHC). Mumble Chatter grew to such a level that YHC lost count and called it quits. #RespectYourElders.
Lobsta Roll taught me that all good workouts avoid the 10 count. Therefore, our resting consisted of various rounds of monkey humpers to honor my new (male) puppy whose favorite toy is a stuffed primate. Need I say more?
Thanks for opportunity to lead. Hope you got your money’s worth (free). I believe I yanked my back out on some of those burpees. Anvil = Advil.

Funniest moments/comments of the morning:
Someone, during Cotton Pickers, said “do they do these at Sharon Towers?” Though we shouldn’t have poked the old man…the pain was about to begin in earnest.
Swiper expressed some concern on about the 8th call for monkey humpers: “Van Pelt – I’m worried these are becoming a fetish for you!”
That workout kicked my butt; I was hurtin’ as evidenced by being the six for almost the entire downpainment.
Nice work Van Pelt…..you sneaky old bastard.
