Rhapsody, as in Bohemian

Rhapsody, as in Bohemian

Rhapsody took the lead today and for some reason decided not to do any Freddy Mercury’s. Seems like a crime. I’d like him to make up an exercise called “Fat Bottomed Girls”……I can already see you guys creating ideas in your head…sickos.

Okay fine, here is my idea – Monkey Humpers where your butt has to touch a bench each time you squat.

Rhapsody also avoided any Imperial Walkers…good call. For the record, I vote to re-name those “10 counts”.

First, the guy had pleurisy, a disease typically diagnosed to 90 year old women born in the early 1860’s, this almost killed him but instead just took 1/2 of his lung. Then just a few weeks ago his appendix reminded him that it serves no purpose and forced its way out. His tonsils, wisdom teeth, gall bladder and tail are next.

Fortunately, in between surgeries he made a guest appearance as a Q for the first time in a loooong time.

What we did…

Warmup

Pick up a paver out of his truck and start running…

Quick run down to lower lot – SSH, pick up paver

Run down to circle, Merkins in cadence

Run to new school lot – lunge walk with paver to middle of lot

Next…

Run up to Covenant Church Lane – cross the street

Run downhill and do increasing burpees at each driveway on the right (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Run back up the hill and do the same thing

Then…

Head over to the soccer field…whoops….sprinklers were on. Take a U turn and go to the gravel lot…

Line up and do squat presses with the paver (30 OYO)

Bear crawl to pole and crab walk back

On your stomach – sprint to building and back

Squat presses again (30 OYO)

Bear crawl to pole and reverse bear crawl back

On your stomach  – sprint to building and back

Tricept presses (30 OYO)

Bear crawl to pole and reverse bear crawl back

On your stomach – sprint to building and back

Several more sprints took place at this point…

Go over to the fence – 12 burpee/paver presses – pretty hard modification of a burpee

Run back over to neighborhood –

Run down hill – increased squat jumps at each driveway on the way down (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Run up hill – increased burpees on the way up (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

At this point my back had given out and I was so far behind the PAX I’m not really sure what happened in the last 5 mintues. When I came upon the field I heard a lot of heavy breathing, Rhapsody encouring the guys to keep pushing and something about more burpees. The faces of most of the guys told me that it was hard.

Moleskine:

In general it seemed that Lex was the one pushing to the front of the PAX today. After training with his 30lb backpack for several weeks he now feels like a little girl running in the wind.

Horsehead had flashbacks to his broken arm as we ran into the Warner field gloom. Those unsuspecting trip wires could be anywhere. Oh yea, he did a pre-run…or pre-crap depending on how long he spent on the road vs. the port-a-jon. We’ll still give him the extra credit.

Rhapsody took the lead and took us out in prayer.
