No Rain No Pain

No Rain No Pain

There was no rain pounding on the awning outside my window this morning like several other days in the past few months, but that didn’t matter because I had no choice but to post at The Charge this morning. I usually roll out of bed and check the radar on days like this just to see how bad it might get, or what the EC crew is enduring while I go through my pre F3 routine, but not today. It was just another day, and I was confident the rest of the PAX would come out to see what was in store.

There was a light mist in the air, and we set out around the bleachers to provide a little foreshadow for the PAX. I thought there was a large covered area by the concessions, but I was mistaken. We circled up for COT:

SSH x25, Merkin x15, Squat x15

Mosey to the field for 200 yard dash interruptus: Run the length of the field stopping every 10 yds for HR Merkins increase from 1-10, then decrease from 9-1 on the way back. Form deteriorated to ‘field humping’ somewhere around 80 yds, and was not regained until the 50 on the return trip.

Round 2 Squats increasing from 2-20, audible out at the far end

Round 3 Animal Layer Cake

Layer 1 – Alligator Merkin 15 yds, run to the far end.

Layer 2 – Aligator 10 yds(audible), Crab Walk 30 yds, run to far end

Layer 3 – Aligator 10 yds, Crab Walk 20 yds(audible), Bear Crawl 30 yds, run to far end.

Mosey to the bleachers for Step O Rama

Round 1 – 20 dips, 10 derkins, single step bunny hop the steps, 20 wall jumps, return to bottom

Round 2 – 20 dips, 10 derkins, two step bunny hop the steps, 20 wall jumps, return to bottom

Round 3 – 20 dips, 10 derkins, 2 up 1 back bunny hop the steps, 20 wall jumps, return to bottom

Mosey to the wall for 30 second PC

Mosey back to the field for segments: Break the perimeter of the field into 6 segments, then jog 1 sprint 1, jog 1, sprint 2….up to jog 1 sprint 6(full perimeter). Audible on 6th round to 3 segments.

Circle up for Mary: Flutter, Bicycle

Mosey back to COT

Great work at the zoo today, sorry about the audibles, I did not test out the distance on the layer cake, and the alligators are tough to gauge. 10, 20, 30 turned out to be the right mix, we’ll see that one again.

Thanks to KY for taking us out in prayer.

A special prayer intention for Ray Charles’ niece. May she find strength in knowing that the love of god, herself, and the family that surrounds her is infinitely powerful.
