Pledge and COT

Announcements: SpeedForNeed on September 25.

Devo: It’s ok to not know something.  It’s ok not to have an opinion on a topic you aren’t familiar with.  By all means, get educated on things you want to know about.  But nobody is an expert on everything.

Moleskin: I recycled a workout I had done back in March 2020, and it seemed to get good reviews….except for whatever died near the whiffle ball field, which created a major stench in the air while we spent our time in that part of the park.  It was great to have Three’s Company back in the gloom, and the 2nd F at Starbucks after the workout was excellent.

Bedrock. Saturday, April 10. The one-armed man led a musically-accompanied workout, giving the PAX free reign to choose their own exercises if desired. Since I was fairly confined to core and lower body I wanted others to have the option of mixing in some upper body. A different exercise for each song, with a lap around the gravel parking lot when you need a break.

I can’t upload a picture so here are some wieners.

Conditions: Clear, 60. Great weather.

The Cannoli Flame is an accountability workout I created for myself years ago: Run a mile, then do 10 burpees, 20 LBCs, 30 merkins, 40 squats and 50 flutter kicks. Repeat the run and the exercises four times. For a fun Saturday at Bedrock, I had the PAX deconstruct the Cannoli Flame by running to pre-placed cones throughout the park where the exercises were performed. We also got blocks and started with 20 curls for Milton’s wife. Here’s how the rest went:

Run to first cone: Instead of burpees, we did 10 overhead press with the Beast.

Run to second cone: 20 LBCs

Run to third cone: 30 merkins

Run to fourth cone: 40 squats

Run to fifth cone: 50 flutter kicks

Then go back down the ladder by running back to the cones in order, and finally the blocks and curls. Repeat until time is called. The Wescott Park is a deceptively large space. I logged nearly four miles during the workout and most others were clustered around that number.

We broke down the Cannoli Flame at Bedrock on Dec. 12.
