This is Going to be Hard to Believe…



This is Going to be Hard to Believe…

but I made up the Q on the spot. No, not impressive at all and easily done.  And yes, it appears that I always do this but this time I actually had a weinke ready to go, in my pocket (for proof). However, with the grand opening of Body Shop, and with 1 minute to spare and smaller group of 4 of us standing there, decided to change things up. 20 seconds after 6am and Shake N’ Bake comes flying in on 2 wheels ready to go. Sorry Shake, we’re running.
All appropriate disclaimers given, veteran crew was ready to roll.

WARM UP:
Run 1.1 miles at a nice enough pace down providence to Alma Village.
Imperial Walkers x10 IC, Merkins x25
**At this point Mater comes running up, says he was 2 min late and saw us running down Providence and came running after.

THANG:
Found a good sized hill in the townhome section on Christine lane.
At top: 15 jump tucks, at bottom 15 mike Tysons –complete round trip 3 times

Get out of the village and head back down Providence, stop at Napa Auto Parts parking lot.
20 Jump Squats, then 20 Merkins; 15 Jump Squats, then 15 Merkins, 10 Jump Squats, then 10 Merkins
Keep moving towards the start, stop at Mavis Discount Tire
20 Jump Tucks, then 20 Carolina Dry Docks, 15 Jump Tucks, then 15 Carolina Dry Docks, 10 Jump Tucks, then 10 Carolina Dry Docks
Keep moving, safely cross the street (much easier with 6) to the bottom of Keith Jong Un Hill.
Sprints from the bottom up to Price street. We did a total of 4 with a jog down to recover.
Closed it up with Derkins & Dips outside the parking lot:
25 derkins, 25 dips, 20 Derkins –Time!

MOLESKIN:
Sort of underestimated how long it would take to get to the village and back. Wasn’t really planning to run that much but sometimes it happens. Deadwooded it and decided to “we’ll just run and see where it takes us” at 5:59am. Figures. Yet the guys that showed up are all runners anyway, even if some don’t want to admit it. And who wants all that complicated Q stuff. Deflated nailed it when he said he came for the merkins and running, and that’s what he got. Also, the amount of possible hills at the Floater never does get old and it’s always fun to find a nice new little one.
Thankful that enough showed up that at least I only have the smallest attended Floater workout, not bottom two (I hope). As usual, Keith Jong was the big winner today. Close second came to Smithers, who got a top ten segment time on the aforementioned hill. And I only heard one NO from Shake, which I think is good. And Deflated doing jump tucks on a torn ACL, that’s tuff.
And the commitment and determination from Mater, who ran a mile to catch up to us just so he could run even more. And Carb Load claimed to have a bum calf, then sprinted the entire workout. Okay.
