Tag: 45 Minutes of Mary

6 men and two Gerrys descended upon Mary to make the best of her landscape. This is what transpired, more or less

Quasi warmup which included a round of ball-lickers. Lots of out and back running on the courts with copious exercises in between. Partner Doras that weren’t really partner Doras, more running while mixing dips and derkins in between, then chicken peckers, more polar bears, and running. Finish with a few minutes of Mary (abs)….(did I mention there was a lot of running….)

NMS: Ball-lickers were a hit although it appears more practice and dexterity are needed. Bodos aptly pointed out that “there is no I in Team”….can’t argue with that analysis. Speaking of Bodos he is looking to add another female to his nest which will make it 6. Much respect Bodos, you are a kind, giving, and accepting fellow…attributes we should all be aspiring to every day.

Soupy day but great mumblechatter this morning. Also great fellowship post COT. Enjoy the day gentlemen.

11 creaky dudes stumbled into the parking lot for 45 MOM of fun. Here’s what happened.

COP on the blacktop: DQs // Cherry Pickers // Copperhead Squats // Imperial Walkers // LBCs // Crabcakes // Inverted Crabcakes // Tempo Merkins // SSHs

Florida Bang: Plank up in a circle around the state of Florida on the blacktop map. On YHC’s command, the pax jumps up from plank position, runs 10 paces, performs 10 burpees, then runs back to Florida to plank position // Next Round: 20 paces, 20 Jump Squats // Round 3: 30 paces, 30 Carolina Dry-docks // Round 4: 40 paces, 40 Monkey Humpers // Round 5: 50 paces, 50 WW2s. Back to plank position for Pickle pounders IC. Mosey to treeline

Dodge Ball! Mosey to tennis courts, divide into 2 teams. If hit, run to the end of the courts, perform 3 burpees, run back and re-join the game. Team wins with most number of players on the court at the end of the time, or if you can eliminate all the players on the other team. Pax played 2 Five min games, 1 win each.

COT: Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS: Great to see Ollivander and Toto back out at 45MOM. First we enjoyed lots of phallic Florida jokes, then the testicle jokes started as soon as we started playing dodge ball, which we all know never gets old. The record for highest number of comments on a backblast still holds with “Balls in the Mist” with QIC Toga, 2/4/2016. If you want some really stupid balls jokes, check it out.

Great to be back at 45MOM for the first time in over a year. The PAX made YHC feel welcome with heavy mumble chatter during the COP.

The Chaos Four Corners lived up to its name. The PAX caught on but on the 2nd round we only had one PAX at the fourth corner and none on the 3rd. The important thing was the PAX got some good ab work.

14 studs took a random walk around MM. TYA forgot to take his meds, so he could only remember 4 exercise, merkins, WWII, jump squats and side straddle hops. So we ran a lot and did a ton of those exercises. Complaints can be made every other Thursday between 9 and 901 am.
