YHC took us out

YHC apologizes for his lateness yesterday — set alarm for a Daville workout which made YHC late. Usually when we do a Horseshoe, we have a big loop to run for a lap. Our loop is much smaller at the Creek so YHC decided it would be a good idea to slow the loop down a little bit, which might have worked if YHC hadn’t been late and had a shorter COP. Oh well, live and learn. Will be bringing this back to the Creek if the future to tighten it up a little bit.

SYITG!

5 men came to work out and have a good time on a frosty Friday morning. COP: SSH, cherry pickers, Russian soldiers, LBC’s, merkins, DQ, helicopters, Imperial walkers. Mosey to center of parking lot for proper Dora.

It seems resting YHC’s sore knee hasn’t made a difference, so have been trying to get back to F3 again, and given YHC’s pattern of not showing up on Friday’s, decided signing up for the Q would at least ensure an appearence. YHC is SO glad he made it, because from the COP on, mumblechatter was at a different level, in both a great and disturbing way. Much of it should not be put into print, suffice to say it started with the YMCA, a basement room with a single lightbulb, and being given a rigorous proctology exam….YHC was laughing so hard at times he was unable to exercise for lack of breath. Thanks for a great time this morning, gents, it was such great fun I didn’t notice my knee as much!

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing…

Little late on the post but 3 men came out on a cold morning. It was my youngest sons 5th birthday so we did things in fives.

COP – arm circles, helicopters, merkins, don Quixote

Circled up in the parking lot for four corners. Each corner you did 5 of the exercise. 1st- round – burpee toe touch, 2nd -squats, 3rd-ball dippers, 4th merkins, 5th – plank jack shoulder taps.

Then went over to the Blacktop and did 5 rounds of 5 knee jumps (start on your knees and jump up) followed by suicide sprints (did 5 of these).

Did one other round of something then called it a morning.

5 handsome swarthy men unsettled themselves this morning to come out for an elf flavored workout.

A beautiful fall morning brought out 4 Davillians ready to kick start their day. Here’s what went down. Mosey to blacktop with a lap around to COP.

Exercises were as follows: 3 sets, 20 reps, of merkins, flutter kicks and monkey humpers; 4 sets, 10 reps, of squats, SSH, and high knees; 3 sets, 10 reps, of American Hammers, plank jacks, and merkins, with a backwards run to other side of courtyard and back in between sets; 5 sets, 5 reps, of low, slow squats, shoulder taps, freddie mercurys, and 10 second plank; and last, 3 sets, 10 reps, derkins, calf raises and hand clap merkins.

YHC’s work and home life has been a lot busier of late, so didn’t have time to compose a workout–no problem, I have the wonderful Workout Deck! The cards can be great, but a Q should still have more of a plan than YHC had (none) and gloves, cold weather and slick cards make choosing and figuring out things a lot more time consuming. Tclaps to Mr. Holland for consistently choosing Aces, YHC does not want to play poker with him; to Opus for knowing all the random songs we talked about, along with the right time for a good polka; and Mudface for NOT listening when YHC called out the exercises, leading to multiple repetions of what is next. To be fair to Mudface, the total lack of a plan was confusing at times. Even with that, a good time was had by all, with mumblechatter about whether a Sharpie can mark a ballot (consensus was yes), 80’s bands (Eurythmics, anyone), and other stuff YHC can’t remember 24 hours later. For the Merkins challenge, total count was 160. Thanks for letting me lead.

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing..
