But it was only 5 reps …

23 of Metro’s finest found their way to Carmel Road Park for an unimaginative but painful session. Here’s how it went down:

5:30 – Brief Disclaimer and were off

  • Mosey down Camilla toward Carmel Middle School. Stop at the first speed hump – 10 burpees OYO; backward run to second speed hump 10 Burpees OYO; mosey to parking lot in the front of the school
  • COP – SSHx10; IWx10 – enough warming up
  • Round 1:  Run back up Camilla stopping for 5 merkins at each driveway on the left and at the end (10 stops in total) then AYG back to the parking lot in the front of the school
  • Mary while waiting on the six – LBCx50
  • Round 2:  Run back up Camilla stopping for 5 squats at each driveway on the left and at the end (10 stops in total) then AYG back to the parking lot in the front of the school
  • Mary while waiting on the six – Flutter and Rosilita (don’t remember how many)
  • Round 3:  Run back up Camilla stopping for 5 Burpees at each driveway on the left and at the end (10 stops in total) then AYG back to the parking lot in the front of the school
  • Mary while waiting on the six – Dolly, LBC
  • Head to benches. 20 dips / 10 step ups each leg; 10 dips / 5 step ups each leg
  • 10 Burpees OYO
  • Mosey back up Camilla toward Carmel Road Park. Stop at the first speed hump – 10 burpees OYO; backward run to second speed hump 10 Burpees OYO; AYG to end of street
  • Gather in Church of Charlotte parking lot for Mary — Freddie Mercury; Heals to Heaven; Flutter; LBC; Freddie Mercury.

6:15 — COP

Moleskin:

YHC put a fair amount of thought into this one. The plan was to keep it simple and painful. You know, the kind of workout where knowing what’s coming next makes it even worse. YHC thinks he succeeded. The mumble chatter started with the second set of burpees and intensified as the PAX settled in. Plenty of talk about lack of creativity, blah, blah, blah. Interesting the way each run up Camilla had its own group of Larry Birds – Benefactor, Orlando, Chappy, Chelms, Iron Mike – and a few others. Who was the flying squirrel leading the burpee leg? Strong work out there today – 2.5 miles, 100 burpees, 50 merkins, 50 squats and a solid 6+ minutes of Mary. Good to see Blades of Glory out at DMZ again. Thanks to Skywalker for the take out.

Always a pleasure to lead. Aye.

Bout Time was the ghost runner up front for the burpee section of the stairway to hell (50 burpees just in that one segment). A Respect was 2nd (just sayin) so the PAX should be ashamed (not one mention of a churpee all morning- wow).

This was horrible. Felt like we ran 5 miles, but it was only 2.6. Great Q One Eye.

Chelms, we were all doing churpees this morning…Also, good to see you make it out to DMZ.

One Eye, Hannibal, and Flutie Flakes joined YHC for a 2 mile pre-run. We ran down Camilla (turn right at the school), left on Fernbank, Right on Pepperdine, Right on Innsbrook, and Right on Camilla and back to park. We’ll have this on most Monday’s going forward (route will vary) for those who want some extra milage for BRR training. Launch time is 5:10 and we run a fellowship pace (8ish min. miles).

The burpees were just brutal. Felt like there were 20 driveways on Camilla on that particular trip.
