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.

Run

Planned route – loops around Kingsley business park. Alternate, slow lap, fast lap. Some ventured in the woods for some trails and others carried heavy things on their back. All broke a sweat and got better.
