Chesticle Friday

I was blindsided Monday by Orangewhip when he asked me to Q, which I agreed to.  All week long Faultline and Orangewhip were nervous on whether I was serious because they both reached out to me during the week to double check.  I was, so here we go.

Mosey to lower parking lot close to playground.

20xSSH

20xIW

10xMerkins

The Thang:

Partner up with the person next to you, unless you are Horsehead, and Catch Me if You Can out of parking lot, right down Covenant Church Lane, around church to Fullwood, left on Fullwood up to Avington Place.  Apparently the guys have a real hard time with directions, so I had to explain 5 times.  It might have been the marbles in my mouth.

Once at Avington, we ran counterclockwise around the neighborhood and performed 15 merkins at each intersection.  The neighborhood formed a perfect loop, except for the first 3 turns, so very easy to follow. Once we were done, take a right on Fullwood to new townhomes across the street from the church.  Similar concept as before, except 5 hand release merkins at each intersection as you complete loop.  Mosey back over to the parking lot where we warmed up.

Perform 20 dips on benches, run to the top of the parking lot to Covenant Church Lane, 20 monkey humpers and back down.  Repeat 2 more times.

Mosey back to the soccer field by the launch point for a time killer.  4 sprints across the field then back to the parking lot for some Mary.

20 X LBCs

10 x Cross Crunch each leg

10 x Toe Touches

20 x Flutters

10 x Can Opener each leg

Moleskin

I have not posted many times to Kevlar over the summer due to BRR training so it was nice to get back out there.  Funny though that OW asked me to Q, and then it doesn’t show.  Lame.  Tackling Dummy did not enjoy the running part very much and said he will never post at a workout led by someone who just did the BRR.  Trust me, I am not a runner, just being proactive for all the empty calories from the beers I plan to consume this weekend off.  Alf was really hard on himself that he couldn’t quite touch his toes on the toe touches even though he has short legs, but he made up for it by leading the pax on the runs up the hill.  My guess is Turkey Leg could touch his toes but not sure.  I had to resort to hand release merkins on the second loop as my form was called into question immediately by Alf.  It is hard to cheat on HRM, so I hope I passed his test.  Swiss Miss took off like he stole something at the beginning and kept it up the whole time.  Alf, TL, Squid and Fletch were pushing hard on the hill, and impressed by Cottontail and Younglove pushing hard all the way until the end.  Great work by the entire Pax.   Thanks for the take out Squid.

Nice lead Poptart. Great use of the AO and surrounding hoods. I wasn’t expecting those miles but needed to offset the Merkin gauntlet. Thanks again for taking Q on short notice.
