Conquering Hills

Sometimes it’s important to go strong rather than run fast. Today was one of those days to go strong and not run as fast or far. That doesn’t mean Clydesdales can’t run. We proved that today. This is a similar Q to my last Clydesdales Q. Just because it was fun then we repeated some of that theme. 16 studs posted at the Clydesdales where we were challenged with never flinching when there was another hill to climb. The number 43 played a role as well.

Warm-Up – We completed the following exercises at the Minge’s Meadow: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Squats, and Merkins

The Thang – The theme of today is to be prepared to conquer the next hill because there is always something else that will challenge your life. 2020 has surely shown us that. Pax performed 5 different exercises at 5 different hills x 7 at the top and bottom of the hill for a total of 43 reps (one extra at the end).

• We moseyed to first hill past Minge’s Meadow, where we stopped and completed Merkins x7 at the top and x7 at the bottom
• We then moseyed to the road hill and completed 4-count Squats x7 at the top and bottom + 1.
• Then we moseyed to the sidewalk past the road for WWIIs x 7 at top and bottom +1.
• Then we moseyed to the hill before the tennis courts for a set of Double Leg Lunges x 7 each leg +1
• Then to finish we hit the hill by the tennis courts for burpees x 7 top and bottom+1.

We got back to the flag for a few minutes of Mary. Fin led everyone in LBCs and then Spinal Tap led us in his signature Flutter Kicks.

COT/BOM – Prayers for Grammar’s Uncle Mark, those recovering from COVID or waiting on test, pax who have not been posting in a while,

Moleskin – When faced with a hill, whether it’s large or small, you can look to avoid it, or you can run right at it. Today was about staring something difficult in the face and just doing it. Life is easier when you tackle a hill with a friend. That’s what we did today. We got to share a challenge and a triumph. It was a great morning.
