Cool Morning in the Gloom at Seven Oaks Park

It was YHC turn again to Q the great group of men at Strut.  Word had leaked  on Twitter that the pax had better be ready to run.  When YHC rolled into Seven Oaks Park around 0515 the Weather Channel app said it was 43 degrees & was “good running weather”.  YHC did not want to disappoint since he felt some pax had made a special trip to the local running store for a new pair of shoes.  As YHC was waiting on the magical time to announce “1 minute”, out of no where Bones arrived – EARLY!  It was going to be a good day.

The Thang:

As the clock struck 0529, YHC announced “one minute” and the pax circled up for a quick prayer.  At 0530 YHC took off on a mosey towards the dark valley (fields) of our beloved Seven Oaks Park. It was at this point several of the pax announced this was Strut, not Swagger.  YHC zig-zaged through the planters around the concession stand just to see if the pax would follow suit, which they did.  We finally “stopped running” when we hit the end zone of the football field. And so the workout began:

Circle up

Through The Tunnel X 20 IC

Little arm circles X 10 in each direction IC

Imperial Walker X 20 IC

Windmill X 20 IC

Line up at the goal line –

Broad Jump Burpess to the 25 yard line

Lunges to the 50 yard line

Sprint to the 25 yard line & then 10 merkins

Sprint to the end zone & then 10 squats

Sprint back to the opposite endzone

R&R, reducing by 1 merkin & squat each time.  Most pax completed 5 rotations

Mosey back to the parking lot for Mary

Each pax called out an exercise which we all completed, it’s an excellent way to keep the pax engaged to the end.
