Kickball & Burpee Planes

Date: 2026-07-28 AO: Middle Tooth Q: Toothless , PAX: Betty Ford, Old Maid, Pep, Cowboy, Toothless, Pole Dancer FNGs: None COUNT: 6 CONDITIONS: ROASTY, a low of 77º overnight is not cool (literally)
WARMUP: Lil circle of fun, SSH, high knees, big arm circles and the like. Did Scorpions to end though which were so nice on the freshly blacked asphalt that was still radiating heat.
THE THANG: Kickball. 2 teams. 1 winner by the points, but all winners by the workout. – 10 merkins + runs scored for incoming fielders and 10 merkins for incoming kickers – Foul balls are an out, get tagged with the ball or regular force outs for other outs – Bonus burpees: Any plane sighted earns an immediate 5 burpees! Got maybe 5 planes throughout, not too bad
MARY: SSH in silent cadence to try and end on time and avoid the burpee penalty. YHC went too advanced and tried double count merkins vs single and the PAX were not able to stay in sync so we celebrated that poor decision with more burpees
MOLESKINE: Was fun and games but still enough to be winded and work up a sweat with only 3 per side
ANNOUNCEMENTS: you know ’em, see ’em every week!
COT: – Prayers for Chunks travel, Pep, and Toothless
