The Thang: Ground Hog Day  2018 all over again.

*PAX lined up at a FLAG on the West side of the open field.

YHC led the men in a memorial of the 25 year anniversary of ‘arguably’ one of the greatest comedy movies of the 90’s, GroundHog Day.  To adequately honor the occasion, YHC introduced the PAX to:

*Shadow (Box) Squats x25 IC

Next, the men laid down on their bellies and stretched their backs. Each man was instructed to perform a move called, Upward Hog.  Similar to an Upward Dog YHC felt it was fitting to be consistent with his theme. Holding for 20 reps on a 4 ct.  Immediately after, the PAX were to assimilate the restlessness of Pauxutawney Phil, aka O Positive, and perform (1) 6-count Body Builder.  Then, releasing as 1 and OYO the PAX traveled 75-100 yards to the opposing flag (Flag #2), performing the GroundHog Crawl (think Bear Crawl but without Bears).

Upon reaching Flag #2 the PAX were instructed to run down to the opposite flag #1 and around the flag and returning to the other flag #2.

Then, releasing as 1 and OYO the PAX traveled 75-100 yards back to the opposing flag (Flag #1), performing the Crawl Hog  (think Crawl Bear but without Bears). Upon arriving the PAX performed perform (1) 6-count Body Builder.

*At this point of the show the PAX were expressing disappointment in their large rodent friend, Phil,  and decided they were gonna motivate and encourage Phil to ‘step up’ his game. With a very short mosey to an area picnic table the PAX performed 20 Step Ups per leg. Starting with right leg.

Although enthusiasm was at an all-time high by this point YHC decided to tone it down and finish with a simple set of Mary.

COT / BOM:

GroundHog Day is a day that represents the closing of 1 season and advancing of another.  YHC reminded his brothers that life is like that.  He encouraged the PAX to consider letting go of the last season of their personal and/or professional life and prepare to embrace the new season on the horizon.

Moleskin:

YHC was proud of the Annex PAX to post on a day best left for the underappreciated GroundHogs.  It was not an easy or pleasant routine but they pushed through and encouraged one another along the way.

PAX prayers were lifted up.

Did he see his shadow? Did he not see his shadow??
