It’s good to be back

It’s good to be back

There was a tear in the space time continuum this morning.  A runner showed up to lead a bootcamp.  Back from all the running….and running…and running.  And by the looks of his midsection the running wasn’t working.  Nope…not talking about Fire Hazard…you assumed because I referred to the large mid-section, but you know it’s not, because I mentioned running.

That’s right…YHC back at the helm of The Brave after a very long time.  I would like to think I’m noble by stepping up to Q…blah blah blah.  In reality my Brave Q happened like all the others…Mario told me I was signed up for a date so I showed up.  That’s how it works.

The Thang:

I had to give this one some thought….it’s much easier to Q a non-Swift running workout.  I tried to come up with some semblance of a new route, some running to hit the requisite miles, and some exercises even though I had forgotten what all of them were.

Stop 1 – corner of Ballantyne Corp & Ballantyne Commons.  Run 0.8 miles to the top of Bagpipe hill stopping at every break in the road for 10 merkins (100 total).  Then turn around and run back stopping for 5 burpees at the same breaks (50 total).

Stop 2 – up Ballantyne Commons and turn right onto Durant and into Ivy Ridge neighborhood.  Partner up.  3 cross street…P1 goes right, P2 goes left and when you meet back in the middle 10 hand-slap merkins.  Repeato on all three streets.  Then reverse route with American Hammer.

Stop 3 – Brixham Green track 4 corners.  P1 runs the park while P2 does Merkins, Burpees, and American Hammer.  So nice we did it thrice.

Stop 4 – some mary at the end

Good group this morning and some good chatter.  Fireman Ed was pissed when he saw who the Q was…I’m going with the assumption that he thought we’d be running too much vs. him not liking my wonderful personality.  Fire Hazard said he hated me on the way back from Bagpipe hill but I don’t think that had to do with the workout…that’s just man love between F3 brothers (did I really just type man love?)

Other chatter heard this morning:

Frehleys “hmmm…those sweat stains on the ground look like tits”.  FireHazard – “that’s where I did my merkins”.  Frehleys – “oh…nice”

Fireman Ed – “4 miles is fine”.   I’m glad he made sure to clearly say miles and not inches.

Wingman “I can’t do superman because I have my HR monitor on….but if I had tits like Tuck I’d be fine”

Frehleys “oh that wasn’t bad…it was just a squeaker”.  Good thing he carries the towel.

Wild Turkey – “I can run this pace all day”.  Yeah…but he didn’t mention he’d probably get lost doing it.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead today.  It’s been too long since I’ve Q’d The Brave…I won’t let it go so long before next time (that means Mario is probably already penciling me in).
