Originally, this was supposed to be Viper’s Q. Then I sort of stuck him with my three daughters (Viper is my Dad for the unknowing) so he wisely backed away leaving this one to me. And I pull in for the pre-run and Kiefer asks if I saw the sign saying Park was reserved and closed to public. Nope. I didn’t see that. Hmmmmm. So my late Q now needs a new Weinke as my plan is shot as I’m worried if we leave the park, we might get towed. Fortunately I have a pre-run to figure it out.
Pre-Run with Kiefer. It was pretty much all uphill.

Mosey to Hotdog Hill on the steepest side for a different sort of 7s:
Backwards run up Hotdog Hill, Bombjacks x7, Run back down
Backwards run up Hotdog Hill, Bombjacks x6, Run back down
…..
Backwards run up Hotdog Hill, Bombjacks x1, Run back down
There was complaining and maybe some anger. I encouraged or mocked. One of those two. It was great either way
Mosey to the gravel loop around the park.
10 lunges, 10 seconds of running. Repeato around the loop until we get to the bridge.
Once to the bridge, go grab a rock. Make it one your wife would be proud of. Carry your rock to the field.
5 exercises, 20 reps of each exercise, after each exercise run to the pole and back.
Exercises: Curls, Triceps, Squat Thrusts, Flutter Press, Upgraded Skull Crushers (Bring your knees up to almost meet the rock lifting from the ground above your face – because safety first of course).
Repeato with 15 reps each exercise
Repeato with 10 reps each exercise
Then we held our rocks in front of us for a GJ 20 count. Starmount criticized the slowing down of my cadence. Just doing what I can to make it burn Brother.

– Smallish crowd but we got work done.
– Starmount got to experience his first bit of backwards uphill running. The belief is it’s really good for you. No clue if that’s true but any steep hill needs to be run up…backwards. Just seems right at this point.
– I think the sign about reserved was a lie. Still, it was wise to hang around just in case.
– Kiefer and Starmount actually met a year ago. And Kiefer tried to EH Starmount then. Only took a year to make it happen. #results
– Nice to get some rock usage in. I’d been eyeing them for the first few weeks. They will be used again. Just too tempting.
Thanks for letting me lead
