Instead of attending RVA’s own Monument Ave 10k today, we did a run-heavy beatdown.
After Fudd’s dog, Roscoe, made a beeline for my shovel flag and proceeded to piss on it, we were ready to begin.
Warm up: Run around the parking lot (high knees, butt kickers, karaoke).
Circle up for COP: Disclaimer, SSHs, Arm Circles, Cherry Pickers, DQs, Mt Climbers, WWIIs, & Merkins. Recover. Enough of that: Let’s roll!
Line up on the saturated Gridiron.
25 MH on the 25 yard line, run back to the start.
Repeat and add 50 Shoulder Taps on the 50 yard line, run back. Repeat, add 75 LBCs (we got nice and soggy here)…
finish with 100 SSHs. Roscoe had a ball running all over the place, when allowed. Besides his antics within 30 seconds of showing up, he was a perfect gentleman otherwise.
Next up: Track Attack
Run the track twice. If you get passed, do a Burpee. This was gonna be fun, in my mind. IRL, we just ran around the track twice.
Eye of the Storm
Audible to a parking lot instead of another saturated field. 5 Jump Squats in the center between each corner exercise, which the Pax picked in random order (20 Merkins, 20 AHs, 20 Lunges, 20 Plank Jacks). Just for funsies, we did it twice.
Triple Check in front of Short Pump MS
P1 runs loop. P2 Balls to the Wall. P3 WWIIs.
Mosey BTTF, but we stopped for 5 burpees OYO. Mosey, stop, 5 more burpees. Mosey, stop, 5 more burpees… I think we did about 40 burpees in total. Some grumbles here. I let Chum know that we ran out of time and got off easy. I had a 100 burpee Dora planned. There’s always next time. And I still have the ghost flag.
Circle up for some Mary (FMs, Heels to Heaven, finish with 60 second elevated leg hold).
Names.
Numbers.
Announcements: Piglet has another little piglet joining the litter on Tuesday, 4/15/25, as his M. will be induced at 12pm. Prayers for a healthy M and baby piglet. Century Classic 2.0 May 2-3. Don’t think about how Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless it is – just sign up.
Prayer requests: prayers for GomerPyle’s upcoming (possibly?) knee surgery. Prayers for Fudd’s wife’s cousin, Hannah, who at only 23 yo is facing serious health concerns.
Moleskin: If you’re breathing today, you have something to be grateful for and the ability to do something for someone else. Make it happen.
SYITG!
