Preamble:
Been a long time since I had the keys to the Rubicon! Thought a lot about the first time coming out 8 years ago, and all the HIMs I've met along the way. Also remembered some of the most sinister BDs I've experienced, and brought it to the yard today. Thankful at least the weather gods provided a brief reprieve from the humidity.Warm-O-Rama:
SSH, Mountain Climbers, Weed pickers at the big American flagThe Thang:
- Mosey up to the track for one of Devito's classics: Merkin Melt Down (that's what I'm calling it). Start with 20 Merkins then mosey around the loop. Every quarter lap do one less merkin. We all got on the struggle bus around 17...my arms are still shaking typing this.
- Headed down to the parking lot next to the pool for some legwork. Run to the first divider, then 5 (alpha) Bonnie Blairs, then run back. Head to the second divider for 10 Squat Jumps, then back. Run to the third divider, 10 (alpha) Romanian Leg Lifts. Same exercises for dividers 4-6, but double the rep count.
- With time running out, we headed to the pavilion. Apparently there's a new co-ed running group that leaves at 6:09. Guessing punctuality isn't their thing. Anyways, the fellas each lead an exercise of their choosing, then mosey back to the flag for some Mary.
