8 of SOJ’s finest met in the surprisingly dark back parking of Rockwood Park. As usual, the park was busy with walkers, runners, and an elderly gentleman doing wall sits and Freddy Mercuries on a picnic table. Definitely need to sign that dude up for the group. But I am here to talk about a workout…….here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure.
Mosey to the Nature Center Parking lot for Warm-Up:
Jazzercise, Ukranian Soldiers, Windshield Wiper, Freddy Mercuries, Alabama Prom Dates, Hand Release Merkins AND Mario Jumps, Lunge Walks, Lt.Dans, Hoppin’ Hillbillies, Mummy Bernie’s, Broad Jumps, Murder Gorillas – all across the parking lot.
Mosey to the Concession Stand area for Exercise One: Tooth Fairies. These proved difficult on the extra wide stairs. Who designed those things? May have save that for the FORGE.
Exercise Two: Clockwork Merkins on the Hill – 1 merkin at 1 o’clock, 2 at 2 o’clock, etc.
Exercise Three: Quadruple Triple Check: Runner goes down the stairs and Bernie’s up the hill. Other exercises included Dips, Balls to the Wall, and Jump Squats. Having 4 on a team caused mass confusion.
Mosey to the area beside the Dog Park for Exercise Four: Super 11’s!
Run to the shed and complete both 1 (Pickle Pounders), and 10 (WW II sit ups), run back and do one Burpee. Follow the normal pattern while increasing burpees by one each round (work up to 10).
Mosey to the Large Parking lot for Exercise Five: Catch me if you Crab
Partner up: One PAX crab walks, the other runs to the end of the parking lot and back, then takes over the crab walks. Repeat until you hit the end of the parking lot. Enjoyed working with Steamer on this one.
There was just enough time for Exercise Six: Victory Hill
Sprint up the hill, jog back down. Next in line starts when the person is about halfway up. I am guessing we did about five rounds
Back to the Flag as time expired: Numbers/Names/Announcements/Prayer Requests
YHC took us out
Final Thoughts: A great effort by all of the PAX this morning! Lockdown and Pierogi were flying through the Super 11’s. Mudslide’s Pickle Pounders were so powerful that he cut his elbow – might need to get a tetanus shot on that thing. This was the final day of the Latino Farmer’s Market – will definitely miss having them around. Next week we will be back at Starbuck post-workout. As always, it was an honor to lead.
