A dozen of Richmond’s best got together for their own rendition of “We Are The World”. As many of you know, there comes a time when we heed a certain call and when the reptiles and amphibians must come together as one.
Senor Frog moseyed us to the outfield and we did an assortment of warmups in cadence including SSH, DQ, Copperhead Squats, Merkins, WWII, LBC, Scorpion Kicks and probably others.
He then led us to the blacktop of 2 rounds of four corners. 25 count the first go around of merkins, LBCs, squats & pickle pounders and then a second round picked by the unoriginal Pax of merkins, LBCs, arm circles (Upchuck with some originality) and squats.
The Q was then handed off to me and we hit the softball infield for some running of the bases-3 PAX as a home plate timer of ten burpees who then relieved a group at first base of monkey humpers and they went to second base to relieve a group doing WWII’s and then they did the same for a group of third base flutterers who went home to do the burpees. Each group did each set of exercises once.
Then it was time to hit The Ridge. We did Elevens starting with ten HRM at the bottom and one jump squat at the top. Senor Frog forgot to rake the newly mowed hill. Our bodies soon picked up most of the grass clumps. After we were soaked to the bone, we hit the track for an Indigenous Peoples Run. After 3/4 of a lap, instructions were required as 2-3 people running to the front at the same time seemed to be the norm. That’s not how its done people. Instead of 5 minutes of Mary, we did another lap correctly. 1.7 miles total today!!
Announcements: July 4th convergence at Atlee High School, 7AM. Reach out to Corned Beef to help. July 19th the Bridge is back. More details to come in July. Sign up for Breaking Bread!! Oyster and Upchuck have more details. Finally, Dry July is coming, mainly because of the cool rhyme and also to challenge yourself to take something out of your life that you probably don’t need anyway–alcohol, social media, Handshake.
There’s a choice we’re making, at F3 we’re saving our own lives, its true we’ll make a better day, just you and me!
