Themeless – Shameless – Not Pointless

PAX: Sea-Man, Tonka, Cruiser, Nelly, Sunshine, Adobe
Well…I knew I was running behind this morning. ( Why does that snooze button even exist? With it’s soothing, loud-noise eliminating simplicity….doesn’t it know I needed to get up the first 4 times? )
Anywho, let’s get on the road.
Pulled into Distillery this morning and the parking lot was MMMM—TT! Ghost town. We discussed the math quickly:
“ If we have one vehicle, but there are 4 of us in here ( Cruiser, Nelly, Sunshine and YHC ), does that count as the 3 or less rule? 3 or less meaning possible coffee instead. And do we all count as 1 PAX since we are in a single car? ” Math is hard in the morning.
So we waited.
Then I decided to drive around the parking lot. Cruiser said I should find the darkest parking spot I could find.
Waited some more.
Poof! All of a sudden, one other set of headlights appeared. “Hmmm…. Are we at 2 now? ” It was Sea-Man. Cruiser quickly ran over to discuss our possible Omaha and apparently I didn’t pick up on the body language, so I started to set up the cones and cardboard. Time to make the doughnuts I guess. I quickly executed the Mission Statement and 5 core principles. Then another set of headlights appeared…Tonka to the rescue for our total of 3….errr, I mean 6 PAX now.
Warm-O-Rama:
So, as the title suggests, there was no real theme for the morning when I was planning this little THANG, but I do remember talking to Sunshine the other day about Parliament. I had asked if he was going to work out on Tuesday. I reminded him there was no running at Parliament to which he replied, “ That’s my favorite part…” Running. #SMH #Kids
I figured I would at least make it worth his while today.
Started the warmup with…..
Abe Vagodas ! HAH!! They didn’t see that one coming!
Followed by Whirlie w. Clap.
THEN….Side Straddle Hop’s, but with a twist. Everyone was to do SSH’s while one guys runs to the far parking lot entrance. Keep doing SSH’s until everyone take a turn to run. In hindsight, this was a bad idea and hurt!
The THANG:
Now that everyone was sufficiently warm and legs were cramping, we ran over to the starting line at the first set of cones. 3 Sets of cones across the parking lot.
Station 1 included:
10-Burpees, 50-Ranger Merkins, 10-Burpees, 50-Mike Tysons.
Station 2 included:
100-LBC’s, 100-Apolo Ohno’s, 100-Bicycles, 100-Iron Mikes.
Start at Station 1 by doing 10 Burpees. Once complete, do Suicides across the lot; last leg back was all the way across the lot over to Station 2. So.. ( 10 Burpees, Suicide, 100 LBC’s, Suicide, 50 Ranger Merkins, Suicide….etc. )
Next up….let’s make our way over to the tables. Dip Party!
10x Dips, Derkins, Dips, Irkins, Dips, 20x Squats IC.
Time for some….
MARY:
A little ring around the Mary.
I started with… I still don’t know the name of the exercise. I called it a Crab Cake? Maybe a Crab Boil? Get into crab position and do toe touches in cadence. Phone a friend.
Tonka called out Boxcutters. Sea-Man, Low Flutters. Cruiser, Mutton Crunch – one side. Nelly, ( classic Dad move here.. ) Alabama Prom Date. When Sunshine saw what the exercise actually was, I did hear a teenage giggle \ laugh. Sunshine, Mutton Crunch – other side. And to finish it out, of course I had to call Pickle Pounders.
DONE!

NMM:
I mean, sure…coffee is great. But all the fun we had, wouldn’t trade it for anything. So thankful for you men. Thank you for showing up and putting in the work.
As stated earlier this morning, I didn’t have a theme for the workout so it was hard to put a proper playlist together in my mind. SO, I asked my two teenage daughter’s to make one. When Miley came on “ Party in the USA “ for the first song, I quickly apologized. No one said anything, so either they were digging it, or they were already too tired from the SSH \ Running combo.
Until next time gents… Adobe – OUT
