After a week of vacation, it was Back in the Saddle for your Q today with a small group of 6 this morning.  We started with a Blue Hawaii lap, then did high knees x 10 IC, sun gods x 10 IC, cotton pickers x 10 IC and mountain climbers x 10 IC.  We then did:

2 long Blue Hawaii laps.  After each lap, a set of mini-BLIMPS (5 Burpees, 10 lunges, 10 imperial walkers, 10 Merkens, 10 plankjacks and 10 squats) were done.

We then moseyed over to the bottom of the hill, where we completed 5 runs up (and down) the hill, followed by 15 burpees, followed by 3 backwards runs up/forwards run down the hill, followed by 10 Burpees.

We then moseyed over to one of the new and improved speed bumps next to the wall, where we started a set of 11’s.  1 Merken, run to Country Club entrance, 10 squat jumps, run back to speed bump, 2 Merkens, and so on and so forth.  We ran out of time before we were able to complete that set, but most of us were able to get 80-90% done.

Good work.  Special prayer for Winthorpe and congratulations on his 20th wedding anniversary.  Enjoy Jamaica!

12 men including one FNG Jace Brinson (aka West Point and Bonnie’s 2.0) gathered on this warm and humid morning to start their week with a run, a few exercises, and some history. After stating the mission and disclaimer we started right away with….

We moseyed to Garber parking lot where we YHC reminded the group that the battle of Bunker Hill occurred on this day in 1775. (A Pyrrhic victory for the British.)
Sprinted length and did 15 Merkins OYO
Sprinted length and did 30 Squats OYO
Sprinted length and did 15 Werkins OYO
Sprinted length and did 30 Sumo Squats OYO

We then did an Indian Run (The Indians fought with the British during the revolutionary war) to Meadows Park via Holly Ridge Road with a few stops added. Stop #1 – 17 Merkins (Representing the # of British officers killed) Stop # 2 – 30 Merkins (Representing the # of patriot’s captured). Once at the park we immediately started our return via a snake run (It seemed appropriate given the revolutionary war theme) We stopped once more to do 20 Merkins (representing the # of patriots who died in captivity after the battle.) Once we reached Country Club Road, we did a Prisoner March to the golf course and then AYG to the parking lot.

12 gathered this morning for the latest installation of The Fartlek.  Having Q’d this exact workout once before YHC thought he knew how it would go; however the thickness of the air made a difference.  We started with:

Cotton Pickers IC x15; SSH’s IC x25; Downward Dog OYO; Oz Stretches OYO

Snake run the long way around Garber and back to the Garber lot for some laps:

Lap #1 Sprint 1st leg of parking lot and mosey last three legs back to the start-then 30 Sumo Squats

Lap#2 Sprint 2 legs and mosey 2 legs-then 20 merkins

Lap#3 Sprint 3 legs and mosey 1 leg-then 10 Burpees

Scout Run down Country Club and around Garber and back for Round 2:

Rinse and Repeat

Plan for Round three was scrapped due more to breathing issues than due to time so we mosey back to the Club lot for an extended Mary:

Low Slow Flutter IC x25; Dying Cockroaches x50, a set of 100’s, Monkey Humpers ICx20, American Hammers IC (by Sputnik) x30.

Name-A-rama and closed in Prayer.  thanks to everyone today-great way to start the week.  As always it’s an honor to lead.

5 this morning like my impromptu workout with my nieces, nephew and younger son on Saturday evening where Andale, Rocky, Over the Top and Meow Meow were named.  The kids led me in Kitty Jacks, Boat Trailer Craws, Yard Sprints, Beach Chair Jumps, and more.  I added in some Merkins, Burpees and Imperial Walkers and we called it an evening.  This morning was equally rewarding.  Was just glad few joined me on this Memorial Day where we remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
