78 degrees with 92% humidity and a big ‘ol full moon — it was a goldang sweat factory out there.
The Thang: As per the usual we started with a little Warm’o’rama with some Side Straddle Hops and other things just to generally get the blood pumpin’ the joints activated and hopefully avoid injuries. I cut it short this time to account for travel over to the nice, clean and newly paved REI Co-op (aka the coop) parking lot.
The preblast called for cindy and everyone seemed to come prepared. With the exception of @Senator. Fortunately, I always bring an extra (and so should everyone else) So we grabbed em and moseyed toward REI stopping once for the 6 to do a quick round of monkey humpers. Apparently, @Patches had never been graced with the opportunity to grab is ankles and wave is ass around in public with a group of grown men. You’re welcome.
So here’s what we did…
We lined up shoulder to shoulder and used the parking lines as our indicators.
Round 1
- 5 burpees every time
overhead carry the cindy from the start to the next line, do the designated exercise, run to the end and back to the block. Pick it up and overhead carry back to the start. - 5 Merkins
- 10 Squats (with block)
- 15 Curls
- 20 Flutters (block overhead)
- 25 Lunges
- 30 Squat Thrusters
- 35 (yes 35) Blockees
Round 2
- 10 Merkins
- 15 Squats
- 20 Curls
- 25 Flutters
- 25 Lunges
We stopped there to give us enough time to make it back by 0615 and to get @Rico Suave back who was feeling dehydrated. Friendly reminder this time of year, drinks lots of water and get some additional electrolyte / salt supplements. I’m sure Rico could make some suggestions.
With some pushing and hustle we all made it back safely and in time.
Moleskin:
Vince Lombardi Never had a losing season as a head coach and he Transformed the Greenbay Packers who had previously gone 11 straight seasons without a winning record.
In 1948 Lombardi accepted an assistant coaching job at West Point
“As integral as religion was to [Lombardi’s] sense of self, it was not until he reached West Point and combined his spiritual discipline with Blaik’s military discipline that his coaching persona began to take its mature form.” – David Maranes
Lombardi was 37 years old when his iconic persona began to take form.
And 47 when he accepted the job for the Greenbay Packers.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
