Never Ending Mile Version 2

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Ran over to middle school drop off loop
SSH
Windmill
Stretching
Moroccan night club
Little baby arm circles

THE THANG:
About 3 years ago I Q’d this workout and it was terrible. So I decided to bring it back since this was the same AO. Spider-Man was already predicting this was going to happen and he showed anyway. I believe he enjoyed it, but still complained. Senator was King, but the longest mile is still undefeated.

Do one lap each exercise (1/4 mile)
Bear crawl
Crab walk
Lunge walk
Run

Everyone finished bear crawl and lunge walk. Some finished the run, but no one was able to complete the crab walk lap.

MARY:
Few minutes of stretching once we got back to COT

Apparently we ran, apparently there were 22.

The route was spectacular, all downhill, except for the uphill.

Looks like we made it,
