Tag: The Creek

Popped my VQ today, in a tropical storm no less. Theme: AB day with two new competitive games (Scrabble and “Around the World”) because, after all, TGIF.

COP #1: Abs

• After perimeter school warm up jog: General Ab 10 count warm ups followed by 4 corners [ 10 atomic situps, 20 Freddies, 30 LBCs, 40 F-kicks ]

COP #2: Team-Scrabble

• I had pre-positioned a small bucket with all of the scrabble letters I could find in my house. Demo’d the bucket, then ran the PAX to the other side of the school and divide teams of 2. One buddy stays in plank position at the dry spot while other buddy runs in the rain to grab a random letter. He brings it back to the word tray. Switch. Goal is to spell just a 3-letter word – per dictionary rules of course – and the team with the highest point score once all teams had a word was exempt from 20 WWIIs. Plan to explain this more clearly and extend to 4 and 5 letter words in the future.

COP #3: Around the World

• At the blacktop, I had pre-positioned one pickleball. Would be better if it glowed in the dark, as this really tested PAX night vision in a storm. 3 on one side, 3 on the other side. Goal: chuck the pickelball as hard as you can to get it past Pax 1 on other team – then Run the perimeter to other side. If Pax 1 catches it, game continues and he chucks it back to Pax 2, then runs. Around the world continues until someone misses. If so, everyone drops for 10 WWIIs (or choose your poison) EXCEPT the victorious thrower who gets to gloat. We were soaked. Mr. Holland made me type that he defeated us all with two successful throws past pax.

Spit On That!!

3 men posted for a Friday beatdown. 1 was a few minutes late as he posted at the Wednesday site. 2 did a couple laps around the parking lot to see if anyone else would show. 2 started off with the Beep Test. These two non runners made it to level 4. Next the two started 4 corners and was joined by a 3rd at the 3rd corner. 3 laps of 4 corners were completed followed up by 11’s using the width of the parking lot. We the went to the courtyard but I can’t remember what we did. Time was up so we headed back to the parking lot. Numberama, Namarama and Surf N Turf took us out.
