This is Gridiron

Time to get back to the gridiron this week and make sure we aren’t getting too used to the soft playground or dry turf fields.

After a brief parking lot warmup of mostly SSH until we almost got run over, we hit the football field and stayed until the end.

Started with some more warmups in a circle and then we continued with a warmup of a ten yards bear crawl, ten yards broad jumps, ten of high knees, ten of butt kickers and then we ran the rest of the way.

From the other end zone, we did a burpee ladder. Ran ten yards and back and did ten burpees, then to the twenty and back and nine burpees, and so on. We stayed together and ended with 55 burpees and 1100 yards of running.

From the nearest corner we started a full field four corners: ten merkins, twenty hand release, 30 heals to heaven and 40 SSH. The first time we stayed together. We did it one more time and everyone was on their own and would finish with SSH until the six joined.

We then went to the midfield sideline for a triple check. Timer ran from sideline to sideline and did 5 burpees, partners did jump squats or WWIIs.

With ten minutes left, we did a quarter pounder of merkins (25), squats (50), single count mountain climbers (75) and SSH (100). Run to the yardline of the count, do the exercise, bernie back each time.

Circled up for little Mary of LBCs, Hammers and reverse crunches. And then ended with five more burpees. The pax jumped for joy when they heard that.

Lots of SSH since Gomer and Blue Moon were out. We did 75 burpees and covered about 2 miles too.

Great seeing Rosie come up North and to see Banjo at his first Saturday workout. Prayers for Gomer and his team in Honduras & prayers for the Bond family.

Go the Bridge next week with Pigskin. The more the merrier.

And I’ve made up mind, I ain’t wasting no more time.
