Running the Octopus

Running the Octopus

The Pax started gathering and off we went. Squid laid helplessly on the pavement stretching while we left him in the dust. Mosey around the track and circle up at midfield.

COP:
20 x SSH
20 x IW
10 x Merkins

Form groups of 3, and can’t be all the fast, young guys together. Skywalker immediately disclaimed he was a slow, old guy. Remember your groups and we will come back to it.

The Octopus:
Each Pax run out to each yardage number for 5 merkins, then back to the middle. Then head back out to the next yardage number, and back to the middle. Run to the goal lines as well, and repeat all the way around the field for 100 total merkins.

Now back to the partner work. Partner 1 stay at the field, Partner 2 at the playground above Grandma, and Partner 3 at playground behind bleachers. P1 runs a lap, while P2 alternates between 10 V-ups and 10 merkins, and P3 is alternating between 5 pullups and 20 monkey humpers. P1 is the timer and heads up Grandma after his lap to relieve P2, who then relieves P3, who then runs. Attempt to complete 4 laps per Pax for 1 mile. Time was called at 3 laps so mosey to the parking lot.

10 x can opener on each leg.

Moleskin:
Thanks for letting me lead Header. I was really focused on the Q so I let Skywalker do all the talking today. Impressive to hear Sensei recapping his favorite parts of the World Series, while stating he was smoked during the Octopus. #goodsetoflungs Header coached his team to a second state championship, #impressive. I didn’t get to hear much mumblechatter because I was too busy running by myself in the dark, but I hope everyone enjoyed. Thanks for taking us out Squid.
