Frogger

There’s Pokeman GO and then there’s Frogger.  YHC doesn’t understand and is too old for Pokeman GO yet remembers Frogger fondly.  The Covington PAX, five strong including one FNG, engaged in their own version of Frogger this morning.  Nacho Libre was conspicuously absent.  Last week’s admonition to “bring your running shoes next week” apparently was enough to keep him in the fartsack.

The Thang started with a warmup in the Gipper’s shadow:  SSH 20x IC; IW 20x IC; trunk rotations 10x IC; squats 10x IC; good mornings 10x IC;  Merkins 10x IC; mountain climbers 20x IC; and hillbillies 20x IC.

Mosey to the School Board HQ for a couple rounds of sprint/backpedal and then side shuffles through the fancy parking barriers.  Then some front to back leg swings and side to side leg swings holding onto the same barriers to loosen up for the sprints to come.  Mosey to the school board flag incorporating skips, shuffles and backpedals.

COP around the flag where the PAX hit a round of squats, lunges, and Merkins all with a 10 count negative, 10 second isolation hold in max pain position, and then a 10 second recovery.  Mosey back to the Trailhead for the main event… Frogger.

The Covington Trailhead is the westerly terminus of the Tammany Trace.  It also has become some kind of Pokeman GO gathering place.  At any rate, after about 20 yards or so, the Trace crosses New Hampshire Street via a CLEARLY MARKED CROSSWALK, and then continues through the middle of the block in a nice curve to the next street.  YHC gave the PAX five walks from which to choose…suitcase walk with kettlebell, twisting lunge walk holding bumper plate, OH bumper plate walk, lateral hops, and toe walks…for the first stretch, park the weights and then AFTER CROSSING THE STREET AVOIDING DRIVERS PLAYING POKEMAN GO AND OTHERWISE ENGAGED IN PHONE AND MAKEUP APPLICATION ACTIVITIES ON THEIR WAY TO WORK sprint from pole to pole approximately 30 yards on the next stretch of curving Trace.  10 count then sprint back to the crosswalk, across the street AT YOUR OWN RISK, and then pick up your weight and walk back.  Four round trips total.  YHC is pleased to report that there were no injuries or fatalities.

Wrapped things up with Mary:  crossover crunches 10x each leg IC; crossover wife pleasers 10x each leg IC; and crossover reverse crunches 10x each leg IC.

Countorama, nameorama, and prayer of thanks for another great day.

    I propose we get additional tags added. We can tag “Noshow” when he doesn’t post, and we can tag “Lateshow” when he does post. That would be awesome!!
