Circa 2001, ole Heist and Handshake were wrestling buddies at JRHS *a blue ribbon school of excellence.* Back then, coach would have a “red flag day” which was basically a slaughter start, followed by all out intensity. Today was a red flag day at the Alamo.
Fourteen dudes joined me on this brisk morning. Began with a curve ball mosey, to parking lot and guys started to circle up for typical warm-up…not so fast. Straight to the hill behind the pool.
Part 1 – Hill 11s (Squat and Merkins). Start with 1 squat and 10 Merkins. No time to catch breath…off to bottom of the Alamo’s love hill at very bottom of EndStone Trail.
Part 2 – All the way to the bottom guys….groups of two for typical love hill with a twist (bear craw, lunges, broad jump burpees). Twist —> Runner has to do a burpee for every mailbox when running to relieve partner.
Part 3: Mosey to Rudy’s playground. Triple check — stepups, chin-ups , runner to HOA violation snowman and back.
Part 4: A few rounds of wall sits (1 minute), followed by a few sets of donkey kicks.
BTTF for about a minute of stretching.
Welcome to Hermey’s son Liam aka “Mr Miyagi”
What’s coming up:
1) Two-year Q for Crabgrass at Alamo next week.
2) Grow-ruck for the guys NOS in September. Way to go!
3) Alamo year-3 anniversary coming up March 30th. Can we squeeze out and FNG or three?
Prayers:
- Guys on IR (Cookie)
- Prayers for our healthy children (and that they stay healthy) and that we remember each day how blessed we are to have our children bouncing around (even early in the morning).
- Prayers for Wildcat. He has some very important cancer scans next week (11th I believe), which dictate the course of his treatment. No matter what – God is good.
Way to go guys for pushing it a bit with me this morning. Good stuff.
