YHC was a little worried this morning that he would be the only PAX at #honeybadger due to the @Tuco farewell at #the_falcon, but it turns out my fears were unfounded as a small handful of dedicated PAX made their way to City Hall for a honey badger inspired beatdown.

Warmup:

• SSH IC x20
• Imperial Walkers IC x10
• Willie Mays Hayes IC x10
• AC x 10, both directions
• Peter Parkers IC x20
• Mosey to Bull to pay homage to its’ greatness
• 10 Jackass Merkins (JAMs) OYO
• Mosey to Parking Deck

The Thang:

• Fetch (Honey badger style)
  • Honey badgers are closest kin to weasels, spending most of their time crawling on all fours. So ask yourself, what would it be like to play fetch with a honey badger? Let’s find out!
  • One PAX will throw the tennis ball across parking deck (following the flow , then all PAX bear crawl to the tennis ball. First PAX to find the ball picks the exercise. Once exercise is complete, PAX throws the ball, all PAX crawl bear to find ball, first one there picks exercise, etc. Rotate between bear crawl and crawl bear (with a little crab walk) all the way to the top of the parking deck.
    • The PAX chose a number of exercises throughout, which included (in no particular order) Merkins, tuck jumps, jump squats, WWIIs, LBCs, Carolina dry docks, Sprints, Burpees, more Merkins, Tuck jumps, Sprints, Burpees, etc…
• Once at the top of the Parking Deck, all PAX will mosey to the Stairwell for Round 2
• Stairwell:
  • When in the wild, honey badgers are mostly solitary creatures. But during breeding season, they pair up and hunt as a team. So pair up PAX, we’re going hunting for JAMs and Burpees.
  • Teams of 2 will work together to complete the following:
    • Team runs down the stairwell to the basement, completes 10 Jackass Merkins each, low plank hold for stairwell to clear
    • Once the stairwell is clear, first team will run back up the stairwell, stopping at floors, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 to complete (you guessed it) 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 Burpees
    • Once at the top, teams will do a People’s Chair until all PAX return.
    • Once all teams have arrived, we mosey back down to City Hall for Mary
    • But half way down, it turned out that HBDGAF about our mosey, so we bear crawled and lunged the rest of the way.

Mary:

• Flutter kicks IC x30
• Six inch 30 sec hold
• Box cutters IC x12
• Russian hammer IC x 13

Announcements: None mentioned

COT:  YHC took us out

Today we reflected on how blessed we all are to be able to wake up, drive to the AO, and complete a workout in Fellowship with others just like us.  It is easy to take for granted the little things in life , like seeing, speaking, walking, running, exercise, and the means to do those things.  We are blessed men, and we are blessed to have each other.  If there is one thing the honey badger cares about, it’s all of you.  Godspeed Tuco to you and your family on this new adventure.  Don’t be a stranger!
