8 brave pax showed up for some off campus running and working recovery through Piper Glen. This was a recycled workout, but one I really enjoy……and that’s the beauty of Qing, right? A quick disclaimer was provided along with notice that the wheels would be in use today for sure. And away we go….
Warm-Up/COP:
Properly warmed up, we headed out of entrance #3 and crossed Rea Rd to make our way to Carrington Swim & Racquet Club on Cary Ridge. We stopped and did an unbalanced right arm/right leg high plank before a club member pulled into the lot and broke up our momentum….no sweat, we will balance out the left side of the plank later. I took the interruption as a chance to explain our workout….No Outlet Hell. There are 8 cul-de-sacs between where we were standing and the intersection of Bevington/Rea Roads. At each cul-de-sac we will stop for 20 of the called exercise. Here is how it went down:
…..the intersection of Rea and Bevington. We headed right on Rea and made our way back to entrance #4 at Calvary. We made two trips up and down the ramp of entrance #4. Run down forwards and run up backwards….unsavory!
Mosey to the hotbox. 15 reps of dips, incline merkins and jump-ups. 10 count then 10 reps of repeato. Two CMPD officers (and a German Shepherd) who were hanging out near the pavilion heckled us and told us to run faster. We would have yelled something back, but you know….they have weapons. Truth told, they were very cool. We appreciate the heightened security!!
Mosey to one of the many lots of Calvary for recovery mary, including:
Mosey back to the vehicles…..that’s a wrap!
Moleskin:
Great work men! The 8 pax stuck together the entire way so it ended up being a very evenly fit group….impressive! There was a lot of good 2nd F as we ran from cul de sac to cul de sac. Good to meet Green Bean who was visiting from Atlanta (parents live in Piper Glen so a good guy to have along if you want to grab a glass of water during the workout). E Trade smoked us all on the AYG sprints on Pembry Links! Great group of dudes and great momentum the entire hour! We covered 3.9 miles total. In hindsight, I should have thrown in a couple of 100 yard dashes at the end to get us to 4, but I did not have much left in the tank, frankly!
