4 mile Deconstructed Burpee

Leave a comment

WARMUP: It is Sweep the Leg. Strive to do that prior to 5:15
THE THANG: Run a 4 mile loop: https://f3thefort.com/2022/02/25/stl-just-keep-going/ (if you wanna see the route. side note: it wasn’t my first rodeo on this route)

Stop along the way for deconstructed burpees:
10 squats
run
10 squats
10 plank jump ins
run
10 squats
10 plank jump ins
10 merkins
run
10 squats
10 plank jump ins
10 merkins
10 plank jump ins
run
10 squats
10 plank jump ins
10 merkins
10 plank jump ins
10 SSH
run
Repeat the full 5 steps each subsequent stop

PAX were advised to just jump in where the most guys were when they got to the exercises, or to skip the exercises entirely and just keep running.

When we stretch to a route that necessitates covering 4 miles, YHC gets worried about leaving PAX. We managed to stay together and Fishstix + Badlands picked up the 6 today making sure we all arrived back at COT resting on 4 miles. Bravo gentlemen!

NMM:
Sometimes we have to choose the hard thing ourselves. Sometimes we have to choose to do the hard thing that life is handing us. If we skirt away from doing the what’s difficult when needed, what worse thing will be waiting for us in the future?

Bermuda Triangle

Leave a comment

Warmup:
There was one

The thang:
Mosey to corner of Railroad/Confederate
15 pushups

Mosey to Confederate Ave/withers St
5 burpees

Mosey to Withers/Watson at top of hill
15 squats

Mosey to Print Shop
5 pull-ups

Wash, rinse and repeat
Mosey to COT

Moleskine:
Affectionately now named “The Bermuda Triangle”, as YHC doubled back thinking we lost a pax in the gloom. Come to find out YHC was circling around like a doomed plane whilst said pax was already at COT. FWIW, 5 laps equals 3.6 miles.
Always a pleasure – Solo

Reduce Reuse Recycle

Leave a comment

having been put in charge of both of our running with push-up AOs this week, I decided to make them entry level. it does not mean easy, it just means easy to understand what is required to do. to that end, I decided to recycle some of the easier to follow Qs in which I have participated.

the word, recycle and reuse together often. remind me of a program I saw in fourth grade. you may have bag memories of being hurted into your elementary school gymnasium in order to see what amounts to a public service announcement or little skit or play put on by a bunch of kids , maybe a small performance by the 5th graders who got to start orchestra. but the one I remember most vividly is being brought to that sad little gymnasium to watch a dude dressed up as McDonald’s mascot and Ronald McDonald caper about singing about reducing reusing and recycling. somehow they burned half an hour of our day listening to Ronald McDonald it’s founding on the virtues of mineralism in a 1980s world where everything was designed to be thrown away immediately after use.

WARMUP: the pledge of allegiance
THE THANG: run to Hardee’s. pair up. run opposite directions saying the block. On the east side (post post office) do 5, 10 and then 15 partners BBSU. Then 15 every time. continue running until meeting up at or around the Hardee’s lot. where you at 5, 10, 15 partner pushups. after the pushups, run the way you came back. this way each partner gets to run both directions around the block multiple times. sort of like a weird freaking Newton cradle
with about 4 minutes left PAX were gathered and Bandcamp led burpees while YHC perform the exhausting job of keeping an eye out for stragglers
MARY: 30-45s of flutters while YHC grabbed my phone
ANNOUNCEMENTS: duties were assigned to Funhouse
COT: duties were assigned to Funhouse
