Introduction:

As we bid farewell to the month of January and welcome in February, YHC makes another trip around the sun and with it goes his memory (I apologize to the 1 PAX I am shorting right now who attended the workout).  YHC was more terrified with the extra early 4:30am posting for EC and the start of the Pathfinder 015 class, as well as the fact that YHC has put an extra 20 pounds in his ruck so he wasn’t sure how that was going to go over.  3 Pax met early and went out for a 3.5 mile ruck in the gloom, hitting the bull once and exploring potential areas for pain implementation during the bullpen ME. After the ruck this morning YHC can definitely declare #thebullpenisaplethoraofoptions

YHC had not had time to study his exicon, so he was forced to utilize his existing knowledge to somehow piece this workout together.

Warmup:

YHC’s watch hit 5:30 and time to get after it

SSHx50 (2 PAX arrived while doing the SSH so YHC Attempted to Stretch these out until all were able to make it into the circle)

Finkle swings x10 each leg

IW x10

Hillbillies x10

Willie Mays-Hayes (Yes Yes Yes) x10

Stretch out what you need to, we are about to mosey

The Thang:

 

 

 

 

Dan Taylor Elevator (1 Squat in cadence, 4 lunge jumps in cadence) and rode this up to 3.  YHC made sure to call the count slowly to focus on form, and once we got to 3/12 – YHC got tired and decided to audible.

Pretty sure we did some more Al Gores in here

Then True Americans to an overhead press – 1 true american and then 10 overhead presses (YHC encouraged PAX to go to their feet, so in essence created another burpee, but did not specify, next time YHC will specify TA -> Burpee -> OHP. 3 Minute Time Hack on this.

We are close to 6 at this point, YHC decided to head back down, but then decided to do some Rockette Dips OYO – do these for about a minute.

Run down, Al Gore for Six (no climate change/time bomb this time) – go to the parking lot away from YMCA – finish the Dan Taylor Elevator

Run towards the AO Meeting point – a bus passes us – “PLAY IT COOL!”

Get to AO

NMS:

YHC saw a shooting star during Mary and it was pretty rad – pretty sure Crockett saw it as well – it was kind of neat and YHC just realized that by being out in the gloom, and participating, you may see these things that you would not have if you fartsacked.  YHC has heard the comment – “Half of Life is showing up” and while that is somewhat tongue in cheek, it is pretty accurate as well.  I’m thankful for this group of men as well as the fact that YHC can still put one foot in front of the other – and get out and get after it.   YHC is also excited he has been able to bring others in as well thru EHG’ing and seeing how it has positively impacted them as well.  YHC encourages all PAX to talk about it – it isn’t fight club and the larger this group gets the more sad clowns we can change!

Special Shout out to Chubbs, who celebrated his 1 year anniversary on 1/31/2018 – I’m proud of him and all the PAX who have chosen to make this a part of their daily lives.
