History of the Ballroom

Leave a comment

WARMUP: some stretching for a few of us New Balance wearers and then a wide variety of standard warm up fun

THE THANG: we reminisced about moderate pax and the beginning of the ballroom – started by Cakeboss and Change Order.

Wide Left, Culture Club, Dungaree, Manzel, Curious George and other names from the past were invoked…

We started at top of hill but stop sign w one Merkin. Ran down hill to bridge for one LBC. Then over bridge to the track to do one squat. Back to the top of hill for two merkins, then two lbc, two squats…etc to 7.

Back around other side of school for some dips and sermons (by request). A little Mary to finish.

Over two miles. Good mumble chatter.

Moderate HIIT

Leave a comment

Back by (very) popular demand we headed to the football field where we ran sprint after sprint after mall walk. The pax selected pre printed instructions from the bucket of running pain and mostly Bass-O won the 100 yard dashes. No hamstring injuries. The watch said 2 miles. Then we retired to the COT but got in a few @airborne hip flexors before the rain came. We missed @rebel but I heard he doesn’t do drizzle.
