Derkins at the Buffalo; Flutters at the Cattle

One PAX answered the bell and took on the challenge of a 15th and Dodge beatdown. Temperatures, at least for the moment, were 70 and sunny. According to the two ladies walking their dog downtown, the following quite possibly occurred.

COP – Jog two blocks to the federal building, conveniently offering fully mirrored windows, thus giving the COP the feeling of a bar class. A circle of one did the following:

SSHs, DQs, IWs, DMH, WWIIs.

Run up/west on Capitol to the top of the hill (about 6 long blocks). When the road ends, turn around. Mosey back down the hill, saying hello to the two ladies walking their dog at 4:45 a.m.

Staying on Capitol, head east / downhill. Starting with the first bench, alternate 10 derkins and 10 four-count flutter kicks at each bench that is parallel to Capital. YHC estimates 20 benches. Some benches, inexplicably, are perpendicular to Capitol. Do 10 WWIIs. Figure there were 8 of those.

If any of that sounds odd, consider that, roughly at 16th Street and continuing to 14th, there is a life-sized art display on westward expansion. Do 10 squats at each large animal (bison, horse, cattle). Don’t do any exercises at the geese suspended from a light pole. That would be stupid.

Notwithstanding any of the above, in the event YHC becomes confused, the option is available to perform derkins at the buffalo or flutters at the cattle. It’s YHC against YHC, and YHC hasn’t had his coffee.

After the benches, run about 1.5 miles up and down Capitol.

Light stretching at 15th and Dodge to conclude.

Number, name, YHC took himself out with a reminder to practice a smidge more patience and a bunch of kindness. Oh, and a thank you to those who have served as Marines (today) and in general as veterans (tomorrow).

NMS:

YHC is in Omaha for a few days, and it was nice to have one morning when the wind was only blowing 15 MPH with no rain. YHC thanks Kubota for the wake-up text, but notes that with DST and the time zone change, YHC has been up for hours.
