Green Pastures, No Rest

Grab your water and off we go to green pastures led by Shepherd. Whether he wanted to get this over ASAP or ate his wheaties, I don’t know, but he was two lengths out from and pulling away. Stopping his flock in an unfamiliar locale for COP he quickly put us at ease with his “windmill in a tornado” impersonation…

COP in cadence
Windmills
Squats
Merkins (oyo)
Here comes The Count… 10 burpees oyo
Hillbillies

Off we go to the hayfield formerly known as the practice soccer field for 4 Corners….
For (20)
Run, LBC, bear crawl, merkin, reverse crunch, crab walk, squats.
Repeato with 30 count
(I thought shepherds were supposed to protect us from bears)

To the field house for People’s Chair and air press, followed by BoC’s and DnC’s (donkey kick terminology coined by GJ).

Indian run a lap around the parking lot as we dodged cars, then a little Lt Dan to make up for yesterday’s visit of Jack Webb. (I lost track of the count after my quads went numb – maybe it was 8 or 9.

Handoff to The Late Show and over to the obstacle course.

A quick tutorial on how to use the kettlebell and chains pulley system hook up. You load your weight (1,2, or 3 25# kb’s) and then pull the kb’s up and then lower down. That’s 1.

The man on the pulley is the time keeper while the pax does the called exercise. When the man on the pulley completes 3 he chased us down, we all head back to the start line and another man takes a turn on the pulley. The exercises (from what I recall and in no particular order) were: lunge walk, bear crawl, sprints, jump squats, partner carry, panther crawl, partner decline merkins.

A 3 man team collects the kb’s and back to the flag while the pax collects some cones that we (sadly) did not have time to utilize.

Meet at the flag for some plank work and done.

Thanks to HB for taking us out.

Reminder of Tuesday, Thursday, Friday workouts and the 3rd F Grindstone meeting at GJ’s restaurant of choice.

Huge work by Jabberwocky and The Count, both coming back from medical timeouts this past week.
Kudos to Happy who did everything with one arm today. Some bailing wire and duct tape will fix that shoulder up toot sweet.
EE had to split early… Had to go home and shower and get his legs iced down to kick that bass drum for an (outside) church event today.
Good to see Good Luck, strong work, looks like climbing the hills around Asheville has him back into football shape.
Good hustle from Bernanke, he lapped us all on the 4 Corners, and nonstop work by our resident, self-labeled Clydesdale, Hairband.
I think Woody got more of an ab workout during the partner carries than he bargained for.
Shep led us to green pastures, but we didn’t find any rest.
Glass Joe should run for president.

TLS out….
