The Zipper at Minnow Pond

YHC was excited to join the Pax for Minnow Pond this AM. Prior to the workout, I looked over previous backblasts because I wanted to do the Zipper but wanted to see the level of exercises associated with it. I chose 4 exercises to mix in with the running and get a full body workout.

WARMUP:
Disclaimer, Pledge of Allegiance followed by a mosey to old Hardees parking lot. (Aside – does Fort Mill need a paid parking lot?)

THE THANG:
Run the Zipper which includes Spring Street and the associated side street with 10 merkins, Mtn climbers, squat jumps and big boys at each corner.

Run back to old Hardees at 5:55. Last group of exercises

MARY: Flutters, LBCs and Hello Dollies until the 6 arrives

Mosey home.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Congrats to Dark Helmet as he takes the reins as Nantan of F3 Nation
Read the newsletter as we have lots of activity coming up

Chicken Nuggies

It was a beautiful rainy morning after the superbowl. Thankful for all the PAX showing up. Quick disclaimer then we crossed 160 to Braden. Every time we passes the sign it was 12 merkins. Run down to the clubhouse for a simple plan in chicken nuggies increments:
6 burpees, 12 mtn climbers, 18 LBCs, run loop clockwise. Loop is up hill to sign, right down 160 to next Braden entrance, take a right and follow Emory back to clubhouse. 6 jump squats, 12 CDDs, 18 American Hammers, run loop in opposite direction. Keep repeating until time. Jog back to rainy COT. Gazelles got 5 loops in, others got less but everyone put the work in. Thanks for the nod Badlands!
