Originally 7, but ultimately 8, men gathered for an off campus workout at The Rock. The site Q’s (yes, we actually try to attend our workouts) took the helm this morning. We thought it was the right day to run some since recent workouts had a lot of coupon and lifting associated. After a quick disclaimer and notification that we would not see much of The Rock campus this day, we headed out. Warm-up would come in phases in between legs of running:
The Thang:
Hopper on Q:
Run from Calvary Church to Davies Park with stops in between for 20 reps of:
Once we arrived at Davies, we ran the stretch from the park gate back to the dog park (about .25 miles) stopping at each street lamp for 10 merkins (I think there were 5 or 6 lamps). Plank up for the six.
Partner up at the circular parking lot beyond the dog park. Partner #1 runs the “parking lot track” while Partner #2 does stated exercise. Flapjack upon lap return:
Head back to the park gate stopping at each street lamp again for 5 Sister Mary Catherine (Gummy ragged on my form, but I think he is just jealous of my long slender legs).
Mosey to the playground. Sticking with the partner theme, Partner #1 runs the “parking lot track” while Partner #2 does stated exercise. Flapjack upon lap return:
Working recovery with 20 LBCs and a handover to Gummy.
Gummy on Q:
Mosey to soccer field and line up abreast (remember, this is Gummy now) at one sideline. 10 gassers from one sideline to the other with 10 second rests between each one. It is safe to say E Trade won EVERY one of the ten gassers….like Sea Biscuit won them!!
Time for the four point Starfish. 5 burpees in the middle of the soccer field in between each corner. At the four corners, we endured:
Mosey back to Calvary with the following working mary recovery every so often:
Moleskin:
We covered 3.84 miles today and did a lot of stuff in between. It was a more humid morning than any of us expected so we had a team of slimy looking dudes when we got back to the AO. Wolfman provided the highest level of humor this morning when he used the sniglet “Moobs”. I don’t want to steal his thunder on the meaning so ask him the next time you see him!
While every dude present worked his tail off and killed the workout, the stud prize needs to go to Squid, who was barely even with us. As we jogged (Gummy sashayed) into the Calvary parking lot, Squid appeared from behind some trees like Paul Bunyan. Turns out he tried to go to another AO which was closed down, but made it to The Rock at 7:07. We had already moved on to Davies so he missed us. The man stuck around and did his own workout. I can tell you I have NEVER done that. I would have headed straight to Dunkin Donuts and would have no qualms over it. You’re a beast Squid!
Squid also offered an excellent take-out prayer. Double beast!!
No announcements!
