A mostly Irish themed morning after my trip to Ireland and Scotland. After some warmups, we (pub) crawled to the curb and did some slow Guinness squats, We then (pub) crawled our way to the sidewalk and repeated. Then we moseyed to the bus loop for a quick bus tour.
We hit four lights and at the first two did 20 Irish Hammers and 20 Merkins. And the 3rd and 4th did 15 of each.
This was followed with a walking lunge tour of the fairy trees of the Deep (On the South side of the school towards the load in dock). If you move or destroy a fairy fort, you’ll be in trouble and you’re creating trouble. Never shift a fairy bush. It belongs where it is and nowhere else. I told the story of the Latoon fairy tree that moved a highway.
We then moseyed to the playground and the Cliffs of Moher/The Deep. These we can go down. I don’t recommend doing the same in Ireland. We went down and did ten HRM and bernied up. We repeated this a few times. No one saw a puffin.
We then honored the 1916 Easter Rising with 4 corners of 19 and 16 count. The 19 count were on the ground and then we rose for the 16. For the down exercises, I errored and started with WW2, then followed with reverse crunches, Chuck Norris’s (who is actually part Irish) and ended with WW1. The exercises when we rose were Jump Squats (2 times), Copperhead Squats and something I don’t remember (too many pub crawls). Thankfully, while I started all of this, I was not executed. The same is not true for those who organized the 1916 Rising.
We went down the cliffs one last time and ended with an Gaelic (indigenous) crawl on the sidewalk to the North side of the school. The crawls at the end of the day are the toughest.
This took us on a holiday detour of the Scottish Highlands. They looked beautiful this morning. So beautiful that we ran to the top (all the way to the sidewalk) and then back down. We got in a plank, I yelled “Hold” a couple times and then we repeated the run up and back. One more extended plank and then we ran to the top and moseyed down the sidewalk back to the start.
We had about a minute left and finished with more Irish Hammers.
Prayers to Mr. Rogers family as they say goodbye to Wally’s brother.
