Today was (Alice) Cooper day. I warned the Pax that today would suck and I delivered! School is no longer Out for Summer which means cooler weather which was welcomed.
We first ran to the Gazebo and did warmups of IW, Ukrainian Soldiers, DQ, LBCs and Merkins. Then we ran past the Golf Galaxy and deep into the bowels of the newest West Broad Village development. As if we were Caught in a Dream.
Here is where we did a running version of the Cooper-Welcome to My Nightmare: 10 Burpees, 10 Squats, 10 Merkins and then a lap around a large parking median. Then 9s, then 8s, etc. Lighthouse let me have it with the Poison Burpees: “Your cruel device, Your blood like ice, One look could kill, My pain, your thrill”
We finished the 55 Burpees, 55 Squats and 55 Merkins and headed back to the Gazebo.
We still had time to further Feed my Frankenstein so we then did 3 sets of 20 Dips at the Gazebo and then headed back to the Flag. Mileage was a little short (Pinto shouted “Hey Stoopid!”) so we ran the bus loop two times to get over 3 miles.
Good to see Brick Back, (the Man Behind the Mask). Also great to hear Pigskin discuss what 71 feels like:
“Lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form on the left and right
I’m in the middle
The middle of life
I’m a boy and I’m a man
I’m (mentally) eighteen and I like it”
X Anniversary coming up. Reach out to a Pax you have not seen in a while and get them to Dogpile 7AM on 9/21.
