This isn’t Ignition Deadwood!!!

This isn’t Ignition Deadwood!!!

13 pax joined me for a Commitment work out that quickly turned into Ignition!  Planning my Weinke for a few days, I knew I wanted to add in some running but honestly did not expect to clock this many miles and it came to my attention from other Pax that this AO has had a lot of “easy” workouts… Not today.   In Q school they tell you to make the workout challenging for the fittest while still allowing slower Pax to keep up. Furthermore, I’m NOT going to be thrown into the category of Q’s that “go through the motions”. I also had to make sure I honored Fuse’s request earlier in the week to help him shed a few pounds for the final weigh in…

Warm up:

0.75 mile run from the park toward Kensington elementary school to Millbridge Clubhouse.

Circle up!

• 20 – Potato Pickers (IC)
• 15 – Mountain Climbers (IC)
• 15- Merkins (civilian on my down -Fuse Q jacked the count = more running)

The Thang:

Remember, I have at least 7 solid Clydesdales in front of me but I wasn’t thinking about that.  I was thinking of how much I could get Fuse to cuss me during and after the workout.  Little did I know Rudy would throw a few 4 letter words my way!! Let’s do this!

Starting at clubhouse mosey toward first traffic circle (0.5m one way).

• Alternate each house – 5 burpees, 10 squats.  Stop at traffic circle for mary – Pick up 6…or Fuse will yell at you!
• Run back to the clubhouse – Mary and pick up 6.

From clubhouse run to second traffic circle (0.9m one way).

• Alternate each house – 5 Merkins, 10 LBC’s. Stop at second circle for Mary – pick up 6
• Moesy back to the clubhouse – Mary and pick up 6

Mosey from clubhouse down the trail (Jingles lead) that leads to the ball fields and circle up for some last minute Mary.

• 20 – Heels to Heaven (IC) – 6 is in…

The workout was solid and pushed every single pax to their limit.  Many of the Clydesdales have never hit the number of miles we did today.  I was extremely impressed no one quit or jumped me!  Double Stuffed and Banjo hung with me at the front most of the morning, nice job guys…   Again, there were around 6-8 Clydesdales (I don’t classify you, you classify yourselves) and we ran 5+ miles with pain stations, I am still amazed!!  We were all so exhausted that in COT we didn’t give South Belle respect… Respect Southern Belle!

Rudy and Fusebox were conspiring to kill me the entire time…at least I told myself that.  I picked Fuse up a few times and he was as mad the last time as he was the first.  Many times he said, If I knew we were doing this much cardio I would have went to the Y instead…comments to come on GroupMe I’m sure.

Rudy….my man Rudy, yes he was the 6 most of the morning but he did not stop.  Did he cuss me to my face a few times…yes but I loved it.  He was completely out of his comfort zone and improving the entire time.  He probably would have never imagined he could run 5 miles.  DO you think he or any other Cylesdale would post for Ignition or Pursuit? If they won’t come to Ignition I will bring Ignition to them!!

To Doughboy, Chainsaw, Jingles, Rockwell, Southern belle and the rest of the guys not mentioned…GREAT JOB!

Oh, and many of you made comments about me wearing a headlamp… How many of you hit that enormous puddle and soaked both feet? Not this guy… Knish for sure hit it.

Thanks, guys.
