Searching for BLIMPS

Searching for BLIMPS

6 went searching for BLIMPS this morning and found them and more.

The Thang

After a very brief disclaimer, we were off. Head out of the parking lot and take a left on Ballantyne Commons. Take a left on Meadow Run. Stop at the end of Meadow Run where it meets Thornhill Club for COP. Merkins x 10, Mountain Climbers x 10, LSS x 10 all in cadence. To really get things started, we would run around the “block.” The block was to run down Thornhill Club to Elmstone. Take a right on Elmstone. Take a right on Elm. Take a right on Ballantyne Commons. Take a right on Meadow Run to end up where we started. While running around the block, we would stop at each street on the right including the turns for 5 Merkins and 5 Jump Squats. Round up the six when finished. Next we would head to the parking lot of the Thornhill pool. That’s where BLIMPS were introduced. Here’s the breakdown:

Burpees x 5

Lunges x 10 (each leg)

Imperial Walkers x 15

Merkins x 20

Plank Jacks x 25

Squats x 30

We did the routine together in the parking lot to familiarize everyone. Then we took it on the road. Head out of the parking lot and take a left. Run to the end of Elmstone to the cul-de-sac. Perform the BLIMPS there and then head back to the parking lot. Gather the six and do a little Mary. Repeat the previous set but this time take a right out of the parking lot to head to the top of the Murderhorn. At this point time was beginning to run low, so we headed back to the launch. Done. Most got over five miles and plenty of other exercises.

Naked Moleskin

Great work today men. That was fun. Great to see Chin Music at The Brave. Hopefully it was a good experience. Thanks Fire Hazard for the take out.
