Go Skyhawks!

AO: middle-tooth
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Oatmeal, sooner, Hanes, DrRupp, Betty Ford, Cal Worthington, Schnauzer, The Rafter, Smokey
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Beautiful

WARMUP: Mosey around the school, dynamic warmup, dynamic stretching, static stretching

THE THANG: Hearkening back to my track days we ran 200m repeats with a 150m jog and 50m walk in between. No stopping, rolling right into the next rep. Great pacing by the pack keeping each lap within ~15 seconds.

An anti-running contingent performed a traveling exercise-a-palooza around the loop.

Groups reconvened for 10 minutes of Mary, a round of Big 10 er… 11 (10 merkins, 1 WW1, 9 merkins, 2 WW1 and so on), and some side straddle hops to reach 6:15.

MOLESKINE: Keeping an eye on a future attempt to break the marathon record via PAX relay event; we would have to double our pace on those 200s, and do so across 10 reps instead of 6 (with considerably more rest in between, but point being we’ve got our work cut out for us)!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: No major announcements following last week’s convergences. Brewsday is always on the horizon.

COT: Prayers for the future of our country, and a meditation on embodying the personal improvement path of the ultimate meritocracy; track and field.

PLAYLIST: A varied sampling of my Stonehill College era favorites;

The Rocky Road to Dublin…er….West Park

AO: atlantis
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Schnauzer
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
CONDITIONS: A perfect 50

WARMUP: Joint Mobility, Mosey around the fields, active warmups and stretching

THE THANG: Been on an Irish kick after a conversation with Toothless over the weekend, so set this workout to some of my favorite Irish folk and punk tunes.

As for the exercise, my 32nd birthday meant sets of 32 exercises separated by a run around the tank.

Burpees
Supermans
Squats
T-Rex
Dips
Mountain Climbers

Then tried out a new song-based challenge, The Rattlin’ Bog. For each layer of the bog, add one pushup. It was an ill-advised choice to pick an extended version of the song, when after 6 minutes we were tasked with a total of 105 pushups.

MOLESKINE: With school coming back the “Can you help me with my homework?” requests have begun. Really has made me start thinking again on how much our kids rely on us to help set routines and offer our support. So just a quick reminder that there are those that rely on us and it’s important to try and think ahead on what we can do for them, whether that’s our kids, significant others, co-workers, friends, and even ourselves.

Back 2 School!!! :books:

AO: atlantis
Q: Toothless
PAX: Pep, Schnauzer, SalPal, Siri, Puzzlah
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: True to it’s name, we were underwater at atlantis – swimming through the air

PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/04KkhaUX0fj1nwynplCZMW?si=cf8ef8f2c4844cbb

WARMUP:
– 30 x SSH
– 10 x WMH (oyo)
– 10 x Windmills
– 15 x Overhead Claps
– 15 x Seal Claps
– 15 x Moroccan Night Clubs
– 15 x Imperial Walkers

THE THANG:

School Bus Route
Start with a one-mile Indian run “school bus” with stops along the way. Head around the park perimeter toward Morrow and the rec center, turn right and follow outer path all the way around by the river and almost to post before cutting across above the fields to the treatment plant.

Every time the rotation completes 2x the stop sign comes out and the PAX have to give 10 Prisoner Squats. After all, schools are basically prisons. Aim for 100+ squats, 10+ stops.

Core Subjects
Split into groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the water tower as a timer. The other groups split up and go to 1 of 4 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return.

English
– “Apart” vs “a part”
– Hello Dollys, spread those legs “apart”

Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers

Science
– Inertia
– J-Lo’s, it takes force to stop movement in a given direction

History
– First public school in the country predates the country’s founding
– Boston Latin School founded in 1635
– 1 Clerkin, 6 Supermans, 3 Peter Parkers, 5 Mountain Climbers

Detention
Once PAX complete each station and are back to their “homeroom”, they serve detention. Complete 20 burpees. SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise 20 more burpees, repeat til successful.

Mosey back to post & stretch til time

MOLESKINE:

You would think with this small of a group of PAX and as sharp as they all are that we would have gotten out of detention in one go, but alas! Turns out this Breakfast Club did not want to part ways, so they stayed in detention til the end. YHC was merciful and cut 5 burpees from the penalty each time, leading to a total of 50 burpees to close out the workout.

Also YHC was surprised that no one recognized the Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks songs that played during our core subjects round, including the fabled I’m Just a Bill.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Announced the 5k which looks like it went well
– HUGE announcement about the goings on this week at atlantis, HC for an AOQ transition!! :trident:

COT:
Prayers for…
– Siri’s work dynamic and conversation
– SalPal’s wife’s career journey
– Schnauzer’s wife’s friend who lost her husband while expecting their second

As always, it was an honor to lead men! See you this Thursday!!! :trident:
