Wildcard weekend!\u00a0 Usually great games to watch, and since I’ve been here in Dash-Strong I can’t ever remember seeing a time where everyone just balled out during a workout.\u00a0 I’m likely wrong, but with me getting back after it my old @$$ is super sore from the week.\u00a0 So it’s time for….active recovery.\u00a0 Let’s play ball!<\/p>\n
Most were in a circle next to the church trying to hide from the wind.\u00a0 I thought I was wimpy waiting until 5 till in my heated car.\u00a0 We’re all equally wormy.\u00a0 Some had murphed, good stuff!\u00a0 I met Peanuts (real name Charlie Brown), and seeing as how he murphed for his first workout that’s damn strong.\u00a0 I turned on the speaker which had old school NFL Films music.\u00a0 Let’s start:<\/p>\n
Warmup:\u00a0 my usual, SSH, Arm Circles, Chainbreakers, Swimmers, Whirly’s, Quickmills, Lunge with a twist.<\/p>\n
The Thang:\u00a0 I had planned on jogging over to the West Forsyth High School field first thing s yesterday I had reconnoitered and found a break in the fence!\u00a0 Alas, Bullwinkle said he was leaving at 7:30.\u00a0 I had to rope him into the fun, so let’s just set up shop right beside the church.\u00a0 I omaha’d to just a brief amount of exercises.<\/p>\n
Cones runs – set them about 30 yards apart, get in your stance and sprint.\u00a0 Then we do group squats.\u00a0 Repeat.\u00a0 Then we do butt kickers.\u00a0 Repeat.\u00a0 Then we do Merkins.\u00a0 Repeat.\u00a0 Then we do high knees.\u00a0 Repeat.<\/p>\n
GAME TIME! – I said we’d start with regular football rules, you have 4 downs to make it 30+yards.\u00a0 I chose Madoff as a captain (he let me Q Distillery, he’s a captain), and we chose the teams.\u00a0 He chose Cruiser first I think, I went Peanuts.\u00a0 Then the order scrags up, but I was going for height and he was going for speed.\u00a0 He took Bullwinkle from me so Team Tall vs. Team Small didn’t quite happen.\u00a0 One other rule – if you get scored on, you do 5 burpees.<\/p>\n
What happened next is a bit of a blur.\u00a0 I can’t remember the score or anything really……honest, total blank \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I do remember two parts:\u00a0 Swifty jumped up for an interception and he fell on his arse then back….on asphalt.\u00a0 I got a little scared but he got right up.\u00a0 The other thing I remember is that Peanuts had been apologizing all game for throws and missed catches, but as soon as we told him to just play and enjoy, then the guy outruns everyone for a 30 yard bomb completion touchdown.\u00a0 He spiked it hard!\u00a0 Wait, I also remember Adobe and Cruiser had a connection, being neighbors who ball on their kids will do that.\u00a0 They were simpatico.<\/p>\n
Time to change the game:\u00a0 Ulitmate Frisbee Rules.\u00a0 Bullwinkle left, so one man has to sit out and do SSH until a score comes up.\u00a0 This was fun, I wish I’d brought a frisbee.\u00a0 We’ll sneak onto the field in the spring when we have lots of people.\u00a0 Anyways, we all rotated in and had fun with 3 v 3.<\/p>\n
Merkin quota:\u00a0 it was about 15 till and they wanted to get their merkins in for the month.\u00a0 Fine by me, so we got under the portico and just rocked those.\u00a0 Once Cruiser hit 300 for the day it was right on time for Mary, so we all did an exercise each, and held the last 60 seconds together in plank.\u00a0 Time.<\/p>\n
Name O Rama – next time Cruiser tries to correct me while I’m Q’ing I’ma slap him.\u00a0 If you are the Q, you make the rules.\u00a0 Mine goes:\u00a0 Announcements, Prayers, Name O Rama, Circle of Trust.\u00a0 Don’t screw with me…<\/p>\n
Announcements:<\/p>\n
Prayers:<\/p>\n
MOLESKIN:\u00a0 getting old sucks because you get more sore than you used to.\u00a0 Sometimes you just need to grab a ball and have a good time.\u00a0 I was breathing heavy during the games so I consider that mission accomplished regarding fitness.\u00a0 Maybe next time we can do it on a semi-dry field.\u00a0 And next time it’s rugby!\u00a0 Y’all enjoy a football weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
