Thanks to an usually informative pre-blast (cc: @coco), ten (10) PAX (incl one shoe-less FNG) arrived at the Bullpen ready to work.

Programming note: @TheExchange furnished FNG with gently used size 11 running shoes.

Warm up

SSH, Little Baby Arm Circles and Reverse LBAC (+ make them big), Mountain Climbers, Merkins, etc.

Thang

As per instruction from YHC, PAX retrieved two bricks apiece from pile while avoiding sleeping copperheads lurking in the leaves. Backwards run with bricks to Broadway St.

Cadence count:
Brick Squat x 20
Brick Shuffle Hop x 20

Jogged west down Broadway Street alternating between bricks overhead, out to side perpendicular to ground, and regular.

Cadence count:

Mosey to bottom of park for alternating dips, merkins, earkins while, one at a time, PAX took a turn riding down the big slide. It seemed like a better idea than it was.

Cadence count:
Brick Squat x 20
Brick Shuffle Hop x 20

We found that parking lot on a hill under the mural. You know the one. In an act of rare mercy, YHC requested that PAX drop their bricks. No complaints were heard.

Backwards run to top of hill, jog back, low squat hold till the Six arrive.

Sideways run to top of hill, jog back, low squat hold till the Six arrive.

Other sideways run to top of hill, jog back, low squat hold till the Six arrive.

Sprint to top of hill, this time bear crawl back down in grassy area adjacent to parking lot, low squat hold till the Six arrive.

This time with bricks: Sprint to top of hill, jog back, low squat hold till the Six arrive.

This time with bricks overhead: Other sideways run to top of hill, jog back, low squat hold till the Six arrive.

Programming note: At this point, YHC was Toast.

Chubbs-paced (which is to say, fast) mosey jog back toward Broadway St. alternating between bricks overhead, bricks perpendicular to ground, regular.

Stopped for one more round of:

Cadence count:
Brick Shuffle Hop x 20

Mary:
Brick Russian Hammers x 25

Name-o-Rama culminating in the naming of FNG as “Creeper” owing to his dominance of the bear crawl portion of today’s workout along with his occupational stewardship of sensitive medical data.

Announcement: New North Durham AO, etc.

Prayer: For the equipping of PAX exhibiting both leadership and servanthood in homes, at work, at jobs, in community.

Strong work, men.
