Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Run up to old Hardee’s parking lot. 10 SSH

THE THANG:
Zipper. For every road we headed east on, we did 10 squats at the start, 10 merkins when we crossed Springs, and 10 bomb jacks at the end. For the west-bound trip we did burpees when we crossed Springs (1, then 2, then 3, then 4). We were movin’ this morning. 3 pax got in 4+ miles.

Got back to COT in time to make one sprint up Massey.

MARY:
Flutters
American Hammers
We ended just a shade after 6am, and LongDuck wanted a refund of the extra few seconds we went over. The check is in the mail.

Great work done by all. FunHouse, thanks for the opportunity to serve.

The Springs Street Spine

Leave a comment

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.

Play time is over

WARMUP: it’s sweep the leg. We did a burpee ladder instead on way to school drive. Starting with 1 worked our way up to 5 then back down performing the burpees at each light pole on way down Dave gibson, we also stopped every so often to perform exercises IC waiting for 6

THE THANG: short version of longest mile with using light poles, lunge walk to 1st pole, then bear crawl to 2nd then crab walk to 3rd.
We all picked up 6 before moseying to back of school by bottom of hill where YHC did not provide very clear instructions at start so had to run around and update pax as we went. but we started 11s with HR Merkins (10) and BombJacks (1) at last pole top of hill. Plan was to drop a pole each lap so it would get progressively shorter think the gazelles got up to round 6 or 7 but we still ran out of time, and a couple PAX got back a min or two late

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas party, lots of Saturday CSAUPS coming up, PnP tomorrow, HIM camp. We named hashbrowns

COT: yep!

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.
