A nice morning temps feeling good unlike last week when the sun rose higher, the humidity went into overdrive. 8 came out to see what I had in store after the end of another week of the summer RVA tour at Satan’s Hill
The customary mosey to the tower for the warm up(SSH, Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Merkins, Alabama Prom Dates, with some stretching to add). After that the original plan was for quick work at the tower, but that needed a change so down the amphitheater we went for a triple quad check. People’s chair, flutters, tricep dips with the run to the top and back down. We finished, then made our way over to a grassy area first was torch a tree (3 rounds 5, 7 and 9 with a variety of exercises thrown in. I always enjoy a Dora today was 100 Merkins, 200 LBCS and 300 jump ropes.
Then to the nearby big circle trail. That trail is almost a mile so why not use it. It was 10/side mountain climbers, 15 jump squats alternating at each post as we made the turn, change it to 10 SSH and 10’walking lunges. The goal was to get to the rings for some pull ups and other but we were running low on time. A little run, back to the flag stretched a little then called it. Names, announcements, requests and prayer led by YHC to end it
2.53 miles the goal was 3 if we had a little more time where we could have finished the trail, then run back to the flag from there yes 3 miles would have been made. So I have a big day coming up(7/2) I will turn 55. It does feel like forever I have been 54 what happens with a middle of the year birthday and it is the mid point of the year. My belief now once you got 50, the big birthdays are at the 5 and 0. So after this, the next big one is 60(holy bleep). I will be leaving a Q 7/3 to celebrate then hopefully we do groups again at the convergence I want to lead one there. Convergence is at Gridiron 7/4, come out I am not sure due to the day that we hit the numbers from Memorial Day, bit at least come close.
PS: thank you Blank Space for breakfast this morning it was good, I will see everyone next time
