Duck Walk across the parking lot and do 10 incline merkins, crab walk back and do 10 decline merkins, bear crawl across the lot and do 10 merkins with left hand elevated on the block, bunny hop or gorilla walk across the lot and do 10 merkins with right hand elevation the block. – Dora consisted of a 60 count table hold and 30 Newton’s cradles.

It became pretty clear that the HINDENBURG blimps either need a full Saturday hour, or need to cut COP and get right into it, we had to Omaha the last three exercises by half. Note to self for next time. Crosscheck led the pack as usual, YHC took my place in six. The M keeps telling me I need to eat more, and I'm trying but I can't seem to pull out of the six. Also, a note to all those 50 plussers: the shingles vaccine is a b!tch. I got it last night and this morning after the workout I felt like I'd come down with the flu. Think it affected my performance (and mood) this morning. Thanks to the pax for tolerating me.

A tall stranger surveyed the Amberley parking lot, clothed in camo. He introduced himself as “Tony Danza”, towering over the black-shirted minions.

Ragnar led the pax through Core Canyon and Cardio Valley.

Backblast for 7-10-18
It was a warm humid morning when 5 PAX (Miyagi QIC, Axl, Ragnar, Crosscheck, Nice n’Easy) showed up at Amberley. Here’s what we did:
Run the park perimeter including both hills and back to the parking lot for Willie Mays Hays x15 ic and Sungods 20x ic both forward and reverse. When then finished the warmorama with a table for a 60 count keeping a leg up and changing the leg every 10 count. Next off to the small hill by the tennis courts for plank jack and squat blackjacks. Bear crawl to the top of the hill complete 20 plank jacks and crab walk to the bottom of the hill for one squat. This was repeated until one plank jack and 20 squats. After this, we moved to the flag for nameorama, countorama, announcements, and Crosscheck took us out with a prayer. See you Thursday.
