The THANG:

• Mosey to the Middle School football field.  Plank for the six.
• Opening COP in the middle of the soft dry grass of the field:
  • Don Quixote x 15
  • Imperial Squat Walker (7 count) x15
  • Merkin Shoulder Taps (7 count) x15
  • LBC x20
• Sets of 4 corners around the soft dry grass of the field. Plank for the six in the middle of the field after each set.
  • 10 Hand release merkins at each corner; along the endlines run to goal post in the middle of the field and Lunge Walk to the far sideline.
  • 10 Turkish getups at each corner; bear crawl half endline
  • 10 jump squats; crab walk half endline
  • 10 heels to heaven; inch worm half endline
• Mosey over to the Middle school patio to sharpen our elbows on the concrete.  Each exercise for 45sec, recover for 15 while Q demos next exercise, then begin next one.
  • Burp-Mountain Climbers – 5 each leg
  • Windshield Wipers – on back, arms spread wide, palms down, knees bent 90 degrees
  • Makhtar N’Diayes
  • Side Plank with Lateral Leg Lifts
  • Lateral Hops into runner position (apparently an Insanity movement with some cool name)
  • Marching Bridge – on back, knees bent, lift into bridge, pick up one foot at a time knee toward chest
• Mosey back to the cars
  • Curtsy Lunge Hop – right foot diagonally behind left hip, drop to lunge, explode up – definitely not coordinated enough to explain or do this one properly
  • Plank rotation to side – elbows stacks horizontal, hand on hip
• COT

The Moleskin:

• Burning out of the parking area right at 0530 with a mosey, our attempts to lose any stragglers failed.  THE Grease Monkey still found us in the dark shadow of the football field.  Our sneaky attempt to get him to run more all over campus before finding us.
• Not much hard running today unless you are Doc McStuffins or Hollywood and know only one speed.  Keeping it on the soft & plush grass for lower impact.  Blessed with low humidity that we actually stayed pretty dry and grass free.
• Bananas is back!  And so are his post-Hawthornes pizza dinner morning timed releases.
• Big AO, only two locations used.  Last week YHC went exploring to find new ground further away.  Perhaps if we bring out headlamps and snake boots for everyone one week, we’ll go exploring.
• Sign up to Q an upcoming Dromedary!  The Q spot is open for the next several weeks – http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4baeaf29a46-dromedary
