Other Side of the Road

Other Side of the Road

After a brief discussion about the apparently impressive amount of static in my hair, and a modified disclaimer for our sole FNG, the 11 of us were off:

The Thang:

Mosey down Rea and hang left into Chadwyck neighborhood. Squats while awaiting the 6. Pudding Pop immediately asks if we are going to Ashridge (aka Pudding Pop Hill). Affirmative, my friend. Hang a right on Stournton. 10x wide arms at each driveway on the right (x7). Squats for 6. Hang left at stop sign. Lunge walk to streetlight. Bear crawl to next stop sign.

Mosey to next street. 20 Dollies each driveway on right (x5?). Arrive at the bottom of Ashridge.
10x hand release merkins (aka jackass merkins) at the top, 10x jump squats at the bottom. Rinse and repeat. Back up Pudding Pop hill a third time. 10x more hand release merkins. First man up leads a little Mary waiting for the 6. Queen (Fred Murchison) predictably calls for Freddie Mercuries.

Mosey to Olaf’s house.

For those who don’t remember, Olaf was my headlock a couple of years ago. The gloom greeted him with 8 degree temps for his FNG workout. He vanished from F3 forever a few weeks later, so I decided to bring the workout to him. Some of the pax were hesitant to walk into someone’s yard, it seemed. No worries, he owns no firearms. 10 burpees oyo in Olaf’s yard.

Back to the top of Ashridge, stopping for 10 jump squats at each driveway on the left (5-6x?). Down Pudding Pop Hill. 10x diamonds at the bottom. Head to next stop sign doing 20x LBCs at each driveway on left (x5?). Back around Stournton, this time with 10x CDDs at each driveway on the left (x7). Hang a right (the rare turn AWAY from home with time running short).

Arrive at the bottom of Pima Cotton. Run to the top, 10x diamonds, 10x heel to heaven back at the bottom. Only time for 1x. Sorry.

Gummy 10 count (IW x10). Run the .6 or so home.

NMM:

There actually is a south side to Rea Road. I think this is the third time I have run us over there, since we tend to be a little OP heavy in our AO selection. Some good hills over there. We covered 4.15 miles and did 200 or so of various merkin-like activities, plus other goodies.

Solid work by all. There were some consistent Larry Birds, though I am little foggy on who you were. Queen, Marge, Beaker, Hopper? Pudding Pop passed me on the downhills a couple of times. Nice job by Beaker running back to pick up the 6 at the end.

Welcome to FNG Sleepy (Dave Gibson), who was crushing it today. My knee jerk reaction on possible names were based on his last name (Debbie or Fist Pump –think Kirk Gibson World Series homerun). But Queen brought him out and had a good lead on a name for the Gastonia native (hometown of Sleepy Floyd).

Announcements:

JRR Tolkien has this awesome thing going about pushing disabled kids in speed wheelchairs in races. F3Speedforneed. He’s all over twitter with it, so check it out. BRR training has begun. Check out the Cuda Run on Thursday evenings at Ben & Jerry’s Foxcroft, followed by beer and pizza at Brixx. I can’t remember what time they start, but I’ll start hitting it for double downs soon. Not tonight though.#beer

Thanks to our brave new site Qs for the opportunity and to Frosty Paws for the takeout.
