Four at Minnow Pond.

Pledge and then run to Hardee’s lot where the thang is explained as follows:
Hardee’s lot is base camp. Do 10 burpees here.
Run up Springs st to its end (Summersby/Cone #1) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees
Run up Springs st to Close st (Cone #2) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees
Run up Springs st to Oak st (Cone #3) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees
Run up Springs st to Leroy st (Cone #4) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees

This is as far as we got. A jackrabbit pax would have been instructed to repeat, but start with cone #4 etc.

We all ran back to Veteran’s park, did some stretches and then COT.
Stats: 3.3 miles, 140 push ups, 40 burpees.

We had 14 men show up at the Minnow Pond flag this morning. @funhouse carried the flag to the AO this morning from his house. @cakeboss launched early continuing his Boston marathon training. After the pledge, we began the journey around town.

1st stop, the pharmacy on 160: Exercise – Jack Webb – 10/40 count (merkins/ O/H Claps)
2nd stop, WEP: Exercise – Ltn Dan – 10/40 count (Squats/Lunges)
3rd stop, Naz Church : Exercise – Jack Webb – 11/44 count.
4th stop, Parking lot across from Little Caesars – Ltn Dan – 11/44 count.
5th stop, parking lot (Watson St): Exercise – Jack Webb – 12/48 count.
6th stop, Footloose: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 12/48 count.
7th stop, parking lot (Watson St): Exercise – Jack Webb – 13/52 count.
8th stop, Footloose: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 13/52 count.
9th stop, parking lot (Watson St): Exercise – Jack Webb – 14/56 count.
10th stop, Footloose: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 14/56 count.
11th stop, Main Street: Exercise – Jack Webb – 15/60 count.
12th stop, COT: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 15/60 count.

Full disclosure: I didn’t feel the workout was difficult enough. I thought I had a great idea to combine running with a Jack Webb and Ltn Dan exercise at each stop, but it just didn’t cut it. We came up short on mileage. We did stick together and figured out some of the more difficult grammatical challenges. If you are like me, I go back to the drawing board and try to do better next time.

Who needs drill bits?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: pledge and run to WEP entrance…got in a few merkins and tree hugging while we waited for 6
THE THANG: we’re doing laps.

At the second swing bench you will stop for 10 merkins and 20 in cadence flutters. Run at a 1 mile pace to first swing bench and dial it back to 5k pace until you reach second bench…that’s pretty much about it.

What I noticed is I ran at the 1 mile faster pace most of the time so didn’t really follow instructions. Also ran low on 3 mile min so tried to have guys run at 3 swing benches but it was a little bit of a lost cause at the end. Headed back at 5:55.
MARY: old bay led some Mary at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: definitely
COT: for sho
