Christmas Leftovers

16 degrees this AM….

No one else showed for pre-run – but YHC hasn’t worked out in over a week so figured better to dust off the cobwebs before leading this morning.

THE THANG:
Was not sure how I would feel this morning (been sick for past week) so had a couple different routes in mind to get to Allison Park. Felt decent so decided for the 4 mile route through Baxter (Front – Berkshire- Downing – Gardenia – Mills – Sutton)

We stopped at random points along the way to allison park for exercises – monkey humpers (ICx20), merkins (ICx10), squats (ICx10), wide arm merkins (ICx10), lunges (OYOx10), diamond merkins (ICx10), shoulder taps (ICx10)

At Allison Park we did dips (ICx10) and then all got in plank position and did merkins while each PAX took turn doing 5 pullups.

Running low on time so mostly just run straight back to COT via sutton road and Richards Crossing. Stopped once to keep group together and did some Burpees (OYOx7)

Got back a couple minutes late.

COT and then some mumblechatter after.

As always- an honor to lead.
