9 Headed Hydra

9 of Area 51’s finest showed up today to take advantage of the incredibly mild weather, the pollen, and to strengthen their minds, bodies, and spirits. Here’s what they did/you missed:

*Run the mile down to Fox…hill?
*7’s on the hill, burpees at the top and squats at the bottom.
*A few Imperial Walker crowd pleasers
*Run back to the the school.
*Wait, stop the second left turn for a 1/2 mile Indian Run up the last hill.
*To the playground for some Cindy.
*5 pullups, 10 ‘mercans, 15 squats while your partner runs around the school.
*Flapjack and rinse & repeat again.
*Wall Sits with 50 air presses
*AYG from one parking lot to the other.
*5 burpees OYO.

Mowlskin:
What a great morning to be out. After yesterday’s heavy lifting at Death Valley I felt the need to get some miles in. Never too early to start training for the BRR. Marge and Queen were leading the way on 7’s, even had a race on the last leg. Not sure who won but it looked like they had ample to recover by the time most of us got to the bottom of the hill. Bounce admitted in complete confidentiality to YHC that he was terrified of a metro workout, #noshameinyourgame. Puddin’ Pop may have wanted to race from the hill back to the school but settled for an Indian run instead. Nuke is still rockin’ the headlamp. Whenever he passed me, YHC could have sworn there was a car approaching. Harley may have been the most consistent of any of us, strong and steady the whole way. Where did Good Hands get his fifth gear there on the final sprint? #borrowedapagefromusainbolt’splaybook. Finally, Gummy kept trying to rattle YHC with his mumblechatter, questions about countdowns, and requests for Imperial Walkers, stretching, downward dogs, ummmmm. However, YHC was not to be rattled by his razzing. Ice water in these veins.

Seems like there was a bit of discrepancy in our mileage. I think someone’s GPS said 4.3 while another GPS said 3.2. Agree to round up to the nearest 10?

Announcements:
COT for Area 51 this Sunday. The address is 801 North Tryon Street. Just look for the big blue sign that says INNOVATION INSTITUTE. We should be there by 620AM.

Thanks again for the opportunity to lead and to grow stronger in every way.

Good stuff, Daisy. I was hoping for a nice workout on soft surfaces with a little running mixed in (foot still healing). Instead, we open with an AYG mile (90% he says) on hard surfaces. The only soft surface we ran on was the super dicey front yard of OP Elementary – almost went back to the IR after hitting a rut through there. Mercy.

Marge was flying today – good to have someone going fast out there to chase. I took a lot of comfort when I heard in COT that he’s 10 years younger than me.

Good Hands needs to unleash that speed a little earlier next time. Sandbagger.

Nice one Daisy. Even though you took the longer routes on EVERYTHING, we’re all better for it. The Indian Run was a nice way to take your mind off of Summerlin, that hill sucks.

Good call Gummy. Now I understand why you asked sidewalk or grass. Next time we’ll go for sidewalk and get a few more feet in too.

Great workout, Daisy. Nice to get some miles in after DV. For the record, Queen beat me racing up the hill at the end of the 7’s. Indian run up Summerlin reminded me of when Harley had us do 11’s up that long hill a few months ago.

The Pax of Devils Turn buzzed Hydra this AM, sorry to miss you! My tennis elbow is forcing me to run. I probably will have a broken wing like Gummy!
