Warm up

I recently went on a road trip to Minnesota, so I had a lot of windshield time to think up a WO, but a lot of this WO was inspired by Little Bunyan

-Low Plank -5 core principals

-Al Gore – Driving A Car – F3 Credo & F3 Mission Statement

Since Cat was having a little too much Mumble Chatter, we did x3 penalty burpees!  Patches pointed out how it seems like a lot of penalty burpees start with the phrase, “Since Cat…”

These types of penalty burpees I’m now officially naming… “Since-Cat-Burpees”

 

-Bat Wings…I mean Red Wing, Minnesota -Arm Circles (x10 IC), Circle Arms (x10 IC), Seal Claps (x10 IC), T-Claps (Overhead Claps) (x10 IC)

-Wind Mill (x10 IC) (Little Bunyan loves windmills)

 

The Thang

-Farmer Carry coupons to field (My family that lives in Minnesota are all farmers)

-Caterpillar interrupting the Q…x3 Since-Cat Burpees

-Line up in 2 lines in front of cones. Put blocks down, Tunnel of Love (drove through tunnels on the turnpike), go through tunnel x2

 

-First Rest Stop…that food you eat while on the road makes you have to squat…

-Block Squat (x15 IC)

 

Get the wiggles out (at each rest stop, Little Bunyan and I would do sprints, or SSH’s or burpees)

-Zig-zag run between cones….sprint to last cone, perform x5 burpees & 10 SSH, run back to line

 

Stop at hotel outside of Chicago…The Windy City

-Wind Sprint to far cone…

-Broad jump burpees back to line (Little Bunyan enjoyed jumping from one bed to the other in the hotel room!)

 

-Go for a mosey, and arrive in Minnesota…I mean the Inner Den…I mean the Playground!

Little Bunyan wanted to visit every playground he saw!

On our trip home, we visited the house from “A Christmas Story” in Cleveland.  If you’re a fan of the movie, I highly recommend a visit to Cleveland!

“I can’t put my arms down”

-Randy (Flap arms up & down) (x10 IC)

-Arm Circles w/ tongue stuck to flag pole (x10 IC)

-Flutter Kick Medley…Hands under butt, out to side, overhead (x10IC) each way

 

COT

-Prayers for Caleb and Caterpillar’s family

-Prayers for Brushfire’s mother-in-law and family

-Prayers for all of us as men to have the courage, fortitude, and grace to lead our family well, be the lamb when needed, and be the lion when needed.

 

Thanks for coming out this morning!
