Granola – Still Crunchy @ 51

Sixteen PAX posted and pushed one another through our workout on a cool 51 degree dry morning. It might have actually been 47. but the forecast was 51 and that worked better with the theme for the day – How many ways can we get to 51.
Three PAX for Crusade-lite (all or part of 5.1 miles)

Disclaimer and Prayer

The Thang:

Start where we stand:
– SSH IC X 51
– Imperial Walker IC X 51
– Merkin IC X 17 YHC is sure many pax thought we were doing 51 IC, but that is beyond YHC’s wheelhouse.
(Wait for a cheesy pax to join us)

Bataan Death March around the front parking lot and to the teacher’s parking lot.

– TTT IC X 17
– Windmill IC X 17
– Stationary Inchwork IC X 17 (That makes 51 stretching/warm-up exercises)
– Merkin IC X 17

– Arms up the whole time for this set
— LBAC Forward IC 10
— LBAC Reverse IC 10
— Dirty Bird IC 10
— Overhead Clap IC 10
— Moroccan Night Club IC 11 (That makes 51 arms up exercises)

Mosey to the planters and find a spot

– Step Ups – Left leg lead OYO X 17
– Dips OMC (On my down, Pax count on up) X 17
– Step Ups – Right leg lead OYO X 17
– Dips OMC X 17
– Jump Ups OYO X 17 (That makes 51 up/downs on the planter)
– Dips OMC X 17 (That makes 51 dips)

Mosey to the hill

– Modified 11s (Begin with 10 at the top/1 at the bottom, work to 1 at the top/10 at the bottom, skip 4’s)
— Back pedal up the hill
— Squats up top
— Run down the hill
— LBCs at the bottom
– 4 X 4’s for the six
For those counting, 10+9+8+7+6+5+3+2+1 = 51.

Move over to the steps and find a step
– calf raises IC X 17
– calf raises heels out IC X 17
– calf raises heels in IC X 17 (That makes 51 total calf raises)

Head back to the flag, as somehow our time was up. Just like the years, this workout flew by. It must have been fun.

The Closer was kind enough to point out that we got shorted merkins. So, we did 17 more, making a total of 51 called merkins.

Devo:
– Psalm 105:1 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
– Every pax has a story of works God has done in his life. Every one of our stories is a part of God’s greater story. It can be as simple as stating your name, describing a challenge you encountered, tell about how God prepared you or pulled you through it, end with “and, that’s what God did for me.”
– Challenge: know your story and have it on hand to share to encourage, come along side of, point to Christ, and be used by God.
