Uptown or Downtown

#F3Monroe doesn’t take vacations even if it’s close to Thanksgiving.

Pre-Run
Blowout, FNG and YHC for a nice 5 mile pre-run around Uptown/Downtown Monroe.

The Thang
Mosey to the start of the parking lot

Windmills IC x10 (Slow variety to the chagrin of Shepherd)

Run out of the park to the intersection.
Lunge Walk up Railroad Hill. Slow and terribly long lunge walk uphill.

Mosey on to the Train Depot parking lot.

Parking Space Suicides. 2 spaces forward, 1 space back.
Reverse Parking Space Suicides. 2 spaces backwards, 1 space forwards

Mosey to the lower side of the parking lot.

Tree Suicides. 8 trees. Oh yeah, it’s uphill. Well, only one way.

Mosey to some more parking spaces.

Bear crawl across the space, burpee at each line. This finally helped Shepherd get warmed up.

Cross the street to the courthouse.

DORA 1/2/3. Partner combined 100 merkins/200 lbcs/300 squats. Partner one runs up to the top of the steps and does 10 bomb jacks while P2 does the exercises. Flip Flop until done.

Mosey to the courtyard in front of the courthouse.

Feet on the steps, 10 shoulder touches. Move feet to the next step up. 10 shoulder touches. Feet up and 10 shoulder touches. Feet down and 10 shoulder touches. Feet down and 10 shoulder touches. Done with this. Lots of grunting.

Mosey over to do some rail slides. Was going for the shorter rails when Blowout mentioned the rails over to the side which wrapped around a walkway. Great call out. #hegetsit Rail slides down and around.

Start the mosey back to the park.

At the bridge over the railroad tracks, it’s time for some more lunge walking. Because, why not?
Once over the bridge, reverse lunge walk down to the road sign.

Mosey back to the park and to Hotdog Hill. Hadn’t originally planned to do this but with Shepherd doing his first visit to #F3Monroe, I had to add it in.

Backwards run up Hotdog Hill. 7 Bombjacks at the top and run back down. Repeato for 6,5….2,1. Backwards runs up Hotdog Hill start to be really fun around the 3rd time up. Shepherd fell in love with Hotdog Hill. At least I think he did.

Mosey back to the cement area

– Welcome to FNG Ramslayer. So named because he’s a NCSU grad and we just whooped some UNC tail in football the day before thus Ramslayer. Not only did he push through the workout but he pushed through after joining us for a pre-run. Great job!!!
– And I see the champagne colored truck pulling in and it looks like Shepherd but he hadn’t pre-warned me on a #F3Monroe visit. Nevertheless, it was great to have him and show him the sights and sounds of Uptown/Downtown Monroe as well as the experience of backwards up Hotdog Hill
– Is it Uptown or Downtown Monroe? A question only Horsehead could really answer if he wasn’t refusing to come to #F3Monroe. #elbowintwo
– The Train Depot parking lot was very useful. Perfectly lined up trees for suicides that require a climb. Almost like a Taxpayer funded dream for me.
– I saw those stairs when Hushpuppy Q’d and been thinking about them ever since. They were in fact as useful as I thought they would be.

Until next time!!!
