The BackBlast:
All the regulars came out for an irregular workout on the third Thursday in November, two thousand and twenty three.
The Thang:
* Motivator warmup, mosey to HTF Ln and Park Rd.
* Campus tour guide training (walking backwards indian run-style) towards launch.
* Various mobility exercises—elf toe curls, calf raises, split squats, good mornings, pear merkins, couch stretch, hamstring pikes.
* Canary and Gravedancer pick teams for Kettlebell chase down HTF Ln. Squats, merkins, LBCs.
* To field adjacent greenway for mosey, shuffle, karaoke, butt kicks, toe kicks, and skipping. Then run length of field at 50%, 75%, and 95%, down and back x2.
* Back into teams for relay up the hill. Funny and Birdman watches as batons. First to stop sign at top wins.
* Mr. Miyagi then mosey to launch for brief shavasana and Turkish getup.
Moleskine:
* Do not recommend Ripley’s Believe It or Not on piercing or Naked Attraction.
* Eric Frankhouser has 24” calves.
* Funny and Sable got to hold hands and skip together as requested.
* Smothered unofficially edged Sloppy by a nose on relay, depending on finish line. Watches and hamstrings thankfully intact.
* Funny now owns 7th place on Farm to Table segment that ends at Tall Oaks. Tied with Becky’s solo effort from 2020. Need more practice and maybe some wheels to catch Lee Templeton.
* Did Well: mixing it up, trying new things.
* Do Differently: clearer instructions on Kettlebell Chase and relay.
