  • Learning how to retire one day at a time

    Five guys posted to Atlee High School on this Saturday with temperatures in the low 30s. Compared to what the forecast is like this upcoming week, the 34 degree temperature felt like it was sunny and 70. This is a somewhat accurate account of what the beatdown was.

    Great job today everybody with this challenging workout. Last night, YHC was with an old neighbor who had recently been laid off into retirement. YHC asked Corned Beef when he was planning on retiring. CB said his job doesn’t really have retirement, but a friend advised him to start taking a day off here and there. He said on Thursday, he took the day off. He then expanded on this discussion with Bulkhead. From a distance, YHC believes he talked about taking a week and going to Florida as well as one other place. Helix then said to me, “Did he just say Nairobi?” That is what YHC heard as well.

    As we all get closer to retirement, this plan of learning how to retire one day at a time might be best. Instead of working 40 – 60 hours a week and then stopping all together, starting taking a day here and a day there. Over time, take a few more days or even a week and slowly start stepping away. Sounds like a great plan.

    Afterwards, we gathered at The Local Cup with Opus joining us for the 2nd F.

    Announcements – Frozen Triangle – February 8 – See Pre-Blast.

    Have a great day everybody!

    Helix’s Q – Head us back to campus

    Brocode Elevens – Burpees/LBCs – Do an exercise (10 burpees), then run to Helix’s target. Plank until all are in. Then do an exercise (1 LBC) and run to the target and plank until all are in. Completing elevens tooks the PAX back to Atlee High School

    Rotate between 5 exercises/running 3 times. One Pax does dips, one does step-ups, the other 3 are running a lap as the timers. One runner peals off and does dips while the step-up PAX member runs with the other 2. In the end, each PAX member should have done 3 sets of dips, 3 sets of step-ups, and 9 laps of running.

    Great workout this morning. All PAX members were surprised how much was accomplished this morning as well as the territory we covered. Well done to Corned Beef and Helix in modifying established exercises.

    Excellent mumblechatter today between the bootcamp and coffee afterwards. The topics YHC can remember were about NFL broadcast channels, College Football playoffs, the Premier League, bullet trains coming to the USA, self-driving cars, the Fall Line Trail, Penn State tight ends, and bucket list European vacations that affordability could be a problem.

    Announcements – Wednesday, January 1 convergence – 7 AM at WDOG.

  • Fuzzy Memory

    The moon was full. Unfortunately with a late start to drafting this backblast, YHC’s memory of other details for the Dapile workout are a bit fuzzy. YHC thinks this is what we did.

    Opus took the Q first, and Phonics and YHC followed him to the side of the high school near the bus loop for some COP. Exercises were something like:

    • Helicopters
    • Invisible jump rope
    • Don Quixote
    • Merkins
    • Copperhead squats
    • Imperial walkers
    • Hello Dollys
    • Rosalitas
    • Heels to Heaven

    Next came a triple-check. Timer ran to a tree in the middle of the bus loop while one man did Merkins and the other did Bulgarian split squats against the wall.

    Phonics took the reins, and we headed to the basketball courts. Revolution was a suicide followed by 25 Merkins. Another suicide and 20 Merkins. Finally a third suicide and 15 Merkins.

    For the next 10 minutes we did repeated sets of 5 pull-ups (modified to jerkins as necessary), 10 Merkins, and 15 squats. With 3 minutes to go Spit and Draw Four joined the Pax.

    The Q was handed to YHC who kept us at the basketball courts for a mini Lucky Horseshoe. That went something like: Run around the perimeter and then do 10 lunges. Repeat the run, and do 10 lunges plus 10 Merkins. Repeat the run, and add on squats. Repeat the run and subtract the lunges, then subtract the Merkins, and end with a victory lap after the last set of squats.

    We then moseyed back to the flag in various ways (side shuffle, Bernie Sanders, hop on one leg, bear crawl).

    At the flag YHC took us through 10 minutes of various stretches.

    Numberama, name-o-rama, announcements (YHC doesn’t recall that there were any), and Opus took us out.

    YHC apologizes for the late back blast. The poor quality of this back blast in no way reflects the quality of the workout. Dapile workouts always rock, and YHC is grateful he got to be a part.
