Mountainbrook has both mountains and brooks

Variety is the spice of life.   -Anonymous, who was clearly not a runner

The Thang:
In an attempt to break out of the standard bootcamp running pace, we did some speed work with and without hills… Take a right onto Carmel and a right onto Mill Pond Rd/Mountainbrook.  Stop for SSHx15 and quick explanation of the next 40 minutes of your life.  Partner up by speed.  Run point to point at 90% throttle, stopping at each street for Dumbocrats x15 and plank.  Stops at Haverstick, Fountain Ridge, School House, Johnny Cake.  Mosey to the intersection of mountain and brook.  Up the hill at pace, mosey back down hill and over to Mountainbrook Swim Club and field.  Partner 1 runs the long side of track, partner 2 runs the short side to the jungleless gym for pull-ups to exhaustion.  Just enough time for partner 2 to take over pull-ups and partner 1 to complete track run.  Repeat.  Reunite for plank fun.  Mosey back to Mill Pond Rd/Mountainbrook for 3 final 90% sprints with stops for Drydocks x15.  Time for some marj: FreddyMercury x20, HeelsToHeaven x20, AmericanTwist x20, LBC x50 oyo.  Fast mosey back to the church for wall sits, burpees x10, makhtar ndiayes x10, more wall sits with arm exercises to break it up, and finally burpees x10.  Fin.

Moleskin:
A big Metro/Area51 welcome to Shoe, who moved closer to Charlotte Catholic and was rused into today’s “bootcamp” for lots of running.  Also, thank u for great takeout… OneEye pushed the pace out front but my vote for Larry Bird goes to LittleJohn aka LilJon (Hyeah!  Hwhat!!) who battled thru a stop at the rotting carcass (skunk?) to a great finish.  Honorable mention to any of the speed-averse runners.  The shorter break between sprints will lift your speed in no time. #youVSyou… Thank you for the opportunity to lead DMZ for the first time.  Sunday/Monday basketball (and Monday morning fastsacking) keeps me from regular posts at a great AO.  Keep up the good work.

Thinking 15x Dumbocrats each was a bad idea.
