Preamble:

Coming off of a solid week last week on the last day of summer (no school), we were hoping to keep the momentum going strong.  Low and behold, we had 19 PAX including 2 FNGs lined up and ready to roll…let’s get it!!!

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey in the usual direction to the end of the parking lot, but wait…left?  We don’t go left up this hill?  Today we were heading to the old meeting spot in the top parking lot for warm ups:

Willie Mays Hayes

Hillbillies

Weed pickers

SSH

Good Mornings

The Thang:

Short Mosey to the kidney bean for a descending mercan loop.

Starting with 12 mercans, work our way around the loop stopping at each light pole and dropping one mercan at each.  12, 11, 1o, etc.

Alternate mosey and lunge walk between light poles

Next…animal exercises across the big field.  20 paces each:

Bear Crawl

Crab Walk

Inch Worm

Mosey to the playground for some 11’s on the hill:

Burpees/ Star Jumps

Close it out with some pain stations on the playground:

Alternating AMRAP while one group runs the playground lap:

Swercans (on the swings)

Incline mercans (on the rock)

Pull ups (on pull up bars)

Back to the flag with no time left

COT:

 

  • Prayers for Baskins co-worker, Theresa, who is battling breast cancer
  • Prayers for successful event with the Darth Visor Memorial CSAUP on 8/26

Naked-Man Moleskin:

  • Highly encouraged with (2) FNGs – Big shout out welcome to Wet Bandit and Two Hand Touch!  Not sure I recall two better FNG names coming from a single BD and both names came from the younger members of the group, Soul Glo and Bill Dance!
  • Also, it’s been great this summer to see the return of some former PAX to our ranks!
    • Snake returns after a 3-year hiatus and he has wrapped himself around the F3 Cumming group like a champ.  Since his return, his volume of posts has kept pace with the growing python population in the everglades!
    • Kokomo – back with us on both Monday and Wednesday this week after a long reprieve.  It won’t be long before he’s getting there fast so he can take it slow waiting for everyone else!
    • The Proxy – a former PAX who has jumped back in and is looking to help us expand in the northern part of the region.
