Chadwyck Hill Tour

Chadwyck Hill Tour

Enough men for a regulation baseball team showed up for Hydra, and promptly ran the opposite direction of the Olde Providence Elementary baseball fields. I have spent the majority of the last several months at those baseball fields, so I opted for a change of scenery.

The Thang:

Moderately fast mosey down Rea and hang left into Chadwyck neighborhood. Immediately feel more sophisticated because the developer spelled Chadwyck with a “y” instead of an “i.” Much like the heightened sophistication that comes from randomly placing “e’s” at the ends of words. (see, e.g., OldE Providence). Do they speak Middle English at the HOA meeting?

Chadwyck Hill #1 (Pima Cotton):

Run up the hill on Pima Cotton Dr. and do 10 Hand Release Merkins in the cul de sac. Back to the bottom and do LBCs while waiting for the six.

Rinse and repeat x3: 15 HR Merkins, Dolly for the 6
10 HR Merkins, Flutter for the 6
5 HR Merkins, Freddy Mercury for the 6
Gummy 10 Count (IW x 10)

Crazy Ivan misdirection, before the mosey deeper into Chadwyck in search of another hill. When we got to Pima Cotton, Pudding Pop said, “At least we aren’t going to Ashridge.” I didn’t know the name of the street for hill number 2, but I now know it is called Ashridge. Sorry, Pudding Pop.

Plankorama til 6 arrives.

Chadwick Hill #2 (now known as Pudding Pop Hill):

Run up the hill to the stop sign, 20 merkins. Back to the bottom and do squats waiting for the 6.

Rinse and repeat x 3: 15 CDD, Rosalita for the 6
10 wide arms, Heels to heaven for the 6
5 diamonds, squats for the 6
A long way from home with a little time to get there, so mosey back through Chadwyck to OPE.

NMM:
Sorry for going a minute or two over. I had a Garmin fail early and got a timing assist from Queen. Not his fault though. I just wanted to cover some new ground. We rarely venture into Chadwyck. In any event, we covered around 4.2 miles, I think, which is a lot of miles for a boot camp. Most of it was on hills. I have run Pudding Pop Hill on many occasions, but never four times in a row. I hated it just as much as the rest of you.

Apparently Pudding Pop tweeted last night that I loved running and merkins. I didn’t see the tweet but, oh well, we ran and did merkins.

Solid work by the whole crew. We were able to keep pretty close together by fitting in our Mary at the bottom of the hill repeats. Consistent Larry Bird work by Queen.

Announcements:

Pudding Pop made a few. I’m foggy on the details so check the website. F3 Dads on Saturday mornings. F3 Golf approaching. Someone is putting together a soccer team to play the Charlotte Eagles, which is a strong crew on and off the field. I predict the F3 team will lose the game and then all immediately rededicate their lives to the Lord.

Thanks to Pudding Pop for the keys, and for the takeout.
