Mash up: Double the Knee Replacement, Tabata, and Classic Rock

The inky shadows of NoToll and a very friendly (and smelly) un-neutered lab/pit stray welcomed 19 warriors and completely disrupted Cooper’s mojo. The Defender of the Pax was entirely bothered by this musky intruder and made sure we all knew it. Anyhoo – YHC brought some novel ideas to share, and here’s how it went down:

NMS:

• Doublemint was first on the scene and had already called in Animal Control by the time YHC arrived – but they wouldn’t be showing up for a while so Mr Stink joined the SOJ PAX and Cooper for a beatdown heavy on the beats and entirely lacking the cadence calling (first time for YHC). Poor buddy Cooper kept running around his boys, growling his displeasure, and making sure the newcomer didn’t steal any pets. Wilson may have been the only other one just as bothered, but everyone was keeping on their toes with not one, but TWO, knee breakers getting under foot. The Rocky themed warmerama, while inspiring, felt too short. The Tabata version of a triple check had to modify from Dips/Derkins/Dans because there were no benches in the pavilion. And the Cone Dora was improved by the PAX mishearing YHC suggesting burpees at every other cone, and a broad jump between – which became a supermanly broad jump burpee at every cone. Solid work gents! YHC was really feeling the classic rock during all those Pole Smokers – gonna bring the tunes out more often. And no Hardywood, I will not be playing your foul death metal.  SOJ had strong representation for the shoe donation today – is it a competition between Nano-Regions? If so, we’re winning…as usual. #SOJ4Life At the end of the morning, YHC had Mr Stink and Cooper in the car leaving the lot to head home because Animal Control hadn’t showed – then they pulled in and we did a quick offloading of the pup – hopefully he’ll find his home. Thanks for letting me lead today fellas, for humoring my Q-style, and for being the best dang PAX around. SYITG!
