INTRO:

Looking to expand the scope of the territory taking advantage of the winter months with less brambles, wanted to go exploring and found many options….

WARM-O-RAMA:

At 5:30 sharp we headed up to the gravel Donut spot and performed SSH to warm things up.  To mess with Manning, I added some Good Mornings to ensure he reached for the sky after each grounding touch and then on to the Windmills to see if he could maintain but to no avail so we ended with some Merkins.  

THE THANG:

Casey was excited at the prospects of pooping next to Duke but Homeboy didn’t want Duke to ruin his nail polishes so he left him at home!  Casey was sad so we all ran off to the easement heading down.  We didn’t stay on there long but headed straight for all the briar patches available to scrape up our legs going completely off trail in the dark.  The undulations were a perfect rolling resistance to jump start the heart rate until we reached the fallen tree for our natural obstacle.  

Mae then performed 2 rounds of 10 down under and overs + 20 derkins getting slightly muddy.   Then it was off to more off camber off trail running, up and down re-entrants and avoiding some areas of barbed wire till we finally  emerged on a trail.   Due to the recent rains plus horse hooves the trail proved quite slippery.  

Hopping smaller creeks and hoping logs, Homeboy scoured the area for the marked reflected course off trail which would take us to the “B” Pull Up bars.   Having found the reflected thumb tacks, we headed straight for the bars and performed 2 rounds of 5 pull up + toe to bars combined with 5 merkins + gainers.   After that we headed straight up the hill to “A” Pull Up Bars for another 2 rounds of the afore mentioned exercises.   In the dark it’s easy to get lost and not find what you’re looking for but find them we did.   

Once completed we headed to the parking lot for 4×40 yard dashes with Manning pulling out ahead of the “Go!” call in a vain attempt to put dash Casey and Homeboy.  On the last sprint the instructions were clearly defined as “last one to HASBRO is a rotten egg” as we saw his headlight approaching.  This resulted in an infraction of 10 burpees to finish off the session.   

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Prayers for Homeboy’s father suffering the ill effects of cancer treatments.  Also prayers for all of us to do the best with the day we have been given living out the corner of the Masterpiece that God is painting with our lives.   

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Get some methiolade or Bactine for your scrapes boys!!!
