Northeast Tennessee

Episode 137: Jake’s Triumphant Return πŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

Conditions πŸŒ₯️

Cloudy, 55 degrees, and a bit moodyβ€”like nature was foreshadowing a tantrum. We dodged a biblical downpour by mere minutes as the skies opened up just as we hit our cars. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¦

PAX πŸ’ͺ

Bobber, Futon, Jester, Ghost Rider, Woz, Copy Machine, Jobs, and the man of the hour, Jake, back from a week-long hiatus to Q like he never left. πŸŽ‰

Prayer πŸ™

Kicked off with a prayer for safety, because bear crawls and rain-slicked parking lots are a lawsuit waiting to happen. 😬

Warm-Up πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Jake eased us back into his Q with a warm-up that felt like a polite handshake before the pain:

  • Imperial Walkers (strutting like we own the lot) πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ
  • SSH (because jumping is cardio, right?) πŸ•Ί
  • Slow Squats (savoring the burn like fine wine) πŸ‘
  • LBAC (forward, back, like we’re sketching life’s regrets) ✍️
  • Etch A Stretch (doodle your way to flexibility) πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

The Thang 🏈πŸ’₯

Jake unleashed a parking lot twist on 1st and 10, turning us into human yard markers with a side of masochism. The rules? Brutal but brilliant:

  • Endzone (first crosswalk): Every visit, crank out 10 Mericans, 15 Overhead Press, 20 Curls, 25 Squats. No shortcuts, no mercy. 😀
  • Run to the 10-yard line: 10 Heels to Heaven, bear crawl back to the endzone, do the endzone exercises. 🐻
  • Run to the 20-yard line: 10 Box Cutters, run back, but bear crawl from the 10 to the endzone. Endzone exercises again. πŸ”„
  • Pattern continued: 30 (Crunches), 40 (Hello Dolly), 50 (J-Lo), 40 (Rosalita), 30 (Reverse Flutter Kicks), 20 (Freddy Mercury), 10 (LBC). Bear crawl from the 10 every return. 😩
  • Mythical other endzone: 100 SSH. Spoiler: Nobody reached this promised land. πŸ¦„

We shuffled, crawled, and groaned like a B-movie zombie flick, but Jake’s genius kept us moving.

Mary ⏰

Zero Mary. Time ran out faster than our dignity during those bear crawls. πŸ˜…

Moleskin πŸ€”

Slow down, smell the roses, enjoy life. Don’t always be on the runβ€”unless it’s to beat the rain, then sprint like Usain Bolt. πŸŒΉπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Close πŸ™

Wrapped with BOM, grateful for friends and our dry clothes. ✨
