Is anyone going to Hoedown?

Fortunately, the answer was ‘yes’. Given the rain, and with the snow on the ground, we opted for the covered walkway and stayed dry. We did a ‘Hot Tater’ and dreamed of 67-degree weather in Florida.

Actually, I’m hoping for a decent snow. Since I moved here 3 and half years ago, we haven’t had much snow. I’m hoping the rain doesn’t wash it all away.

Upchuck started us off with: (this is roughly right)

  • 35 SSHs in cadence
  • 10 Monkey Humpers in cadence
  • 15 Imperial Walkers in cadence
  • Stretch (touch the ground)
  • Cobra
  • 10 Reverse crunch in cadence
  • 10 WWIs in cadence
  • 3X: Bear crawl to the break in the railings, 3 merkins and mosey back

1-800 took over:

Triple check: This was harder than it sounds. We had to pick 2 other partners. Very challenging. The other challenge was remembering to rotate thru the 3 exercises. It takes a Harvard education to do this correctly.

  • Partner 1: Bernies up the walkway to the door and moseys back (touch door lightly so as not to set off the alarm)
  • Partner 2: Merkins
  • Partner 3: Squats

11s up the covered walkway to the doors

  • Jump squats
  • WWIIs

Pigskin finished:

To the wall under the covered area by the gym

  • 15 People’s chair air press in cadence
  • 10 BTTW Hand touch in cadence
  • 10 Mike Tyson OYO
  • 10 BTTW Australian Mountain Climbers in cadence
  • 15 Donkey Kicks OYO
  • 10 BTTW Toe Taps in cadence
  • 10 Mike Tyson OYO

To the Railings

  • 10 single count Bulgarian split squats: right leg back
  • 10 single count Bulgarian split squats: left leg back
  • 10 single count Derkins
  • Repeat above except 9 single count
  • Then 8 and so on down to 1

Finished with some Mary

  • 15 Crunch Frogs in cadence
  • 15 Heels to heaven in cadence
  • Plank, right arm and/or leg high
  • Plank, left arm and/or leg high
  • Elbow plank to count of 45
  • 6-inch leg lift to count of 60

Announcements:

The Bridge on Saturday, January 25. See Fudd (not Fud, Fudd). This is a ‘halfway house’ (my choice of words) to ease inmates back into the outside world. As the saying goes “every saint has a past and every sinner has a future”. We all have regrets, it’s a part of life. Dedicate yourself to forgiving the ‘f-ups’ of others as well as your own ‘f-ups’. I think it helps when we think of these things as ‘opportunities to learn from experience and get better’.

Tomorrow at Heartbreak Ridge, the Q sign-up sheet has Honeydo with a “?” mark. Will we be pencil rolling up the Ridge? Scorpion Kicks in the snow? If you want to find out, show up!
