12 pax and the Rainbow Dash mascot Bailey gathered around the flag listening to Dave Matthews Band. We did a little pre stretch and discussed the choice of station which was requested by J-Love. It was a solid choice and got us in a good place. J-Love Eh’d me and I owe a lot to him so whatever he wants goes, it gets a little awkward when he picks The Biebs… . After getting our minds right, we mosey through the buildings into the field behind the double wides for –

The pax is warm and mummblechattering about getting wet on the HR merkins. We mosey up to the football field and prepare for “The Michigan”

The Thang

The Michigan came to yhc via the evil mastermind from Isotope, “Mini Me” when he punished the pax of Carterico with this wo. I missed it, but heard how awful it was so had to give it a shot.

It was like the grounds crew at Mendenhall knew we had the Michigan planned. The field was actually cut and lined. We lined up on the goal line and waited for Bailey to get his pre game jitters out on the field. Luckily Viagra comes prepared with bag.

TIme still standing still, lets go to the hill at the entrance.

Descending Merkin ladder on the hill.

Run up hill 10 Merkins, back down 9 merkins, back up 8 and so on until plank for the six.

Somehow it was still not time for Mary? This was a pack of Sugar Rays and there was not much recovering in between the beatings.

We mosey back to the flag and figure we can burn some time with Roxanne. Thank goodness it took the Q forever to find the song on you tube and get around the commercials. longest recovery of the morning for sure.

Roxanne- every time Sting says Roxanne we do a Merkin, every Night, Light, Right etc we do a Plank Jack. The song is about 3 minutes long and this was a tough way to end already tough day. During the middle of the song there is a period to do some plank o rama (right arm high, left arm etc) allows for shoulders to have some recovery. The pax rocked it

Announcements/ Moleskin

  • Coffeteria went down at Green Bean and we had about 8 post. It was some great second F and yhc took a tongue lashing for getting home so much later than usual. Made the M late to Palates class ! ooops…
  • Praises for Pamela’s wife’s exam coming back negative
  • 3rd F at Hush Puppy’s house starting next Sunday Oct 2nd @ 7:30 pm. Book is called Sticky Faith. Hush Puppy has 10 copies.
  • Man Eater has bit the bullet and is on the twitter machine. Give him a follow at @RobbyEatman . let it be known he did not announce this, but there was discussion during the pre stretch. Its going to take him a year or more to figure it out.
  • We missed the site Q Woody and we where hoping for some Asian music and line dancing routine that was promised. 3 hours of sleep and 24 hr plane ride is not acceptable excuse. you were charged with a #fartsack
  • This was one of  the harder workouts yhc has dished out I believe. There was plenty of mosey and not much on the recovery. Great work by all the pax and thanks for jumping in there when I couldn’t breath to call an exercise !

An honor and a blessing for me to be able to lead the pax at Rainbow Dash.
