Preamble:

Coming off a coronavacation, it was great to be back out in the gloom.  The plan today was to just have some fun.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey around the parking lot once with butt kickers and high knees, then circle up for SSH, weed pickers, windmills, imperial walkers, arm circles and Michael Phelps.

The Thang:

We played through 5 school yard classics: Whamo Lunge Walks:
  • Get a Frisbee
  • Everyone gets a number & takes a turn in order
  • On your turn, throw the Frisbee
  • While it's in the air, everyone sprints towards the Frisbee
  • When it touches down (initial bounce), everyone stops and lunge walks to the final resting spot.
Red Light / Green Light:
  • Round 1: Frankenstein
  • Round 2: Duck Walk
  • Round 1: Crab Walk
Sharks & Minnows:
  • YHC started in the center as the first Shark.
  • We picked two blue lines that run sideways across the field.
  • Minnow boundaries are either side of the field by the fence.
  • Sharks end each round with 5 burpees while Minnows SSH.
  • We did 3 or 4 rounds
  • I may have sacrificed some of my fellow PAX to survive
Duck-Duck-Goose:
  • Every starts in a low plank Circle.  FNG Zamboni was first "it".
  • "It" bear crawls around circle; once he picks a goose, the goose bear crawl chases him around the circle.
  • Results were mixed as apparently I suck at bear crawls.  We just rotated "it" with each round.
  • Don't try to outrun an actual bear by bear crawling if you're with Brownie or Shrimp.
Catch Me If You Can:
  • Partner up, Line up on at center field.
  • 1st partner lunge walks
  • 2nd partner does a round of Mucho Chesto, 5 x 5 positions, then sprints to their partner

COT:

Keep Mounty in your prayers while he suffers through a trip to the Carribean with his family for a cricket event.  Lots of other traveling coming up plus the stress of the holidays.  Prayers for peace in our homes and in the world.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

I had fun, hope you guys did too.  Thanks for coming out and playing along.
