Treadmills suck. So 5 real men chose to forsake the fartsack and took on some hill work in the 30 degree cold rain.
THE THANG
– Run to the front of the school for COP: SSHs, IWs, Squats, Merkins, Mountain Climbers (All 20 IC)
– Run to the bottom of the hill in Carrington. Sprint to the top of the baby hill – 15 (IC) Merkins. Mosey back down to the bottom – 15 (IC) Squats. Run to the top of the big hill – 20 (IC) LBCs. Mosey back down to the bottom – 20 (10 each leg) jumping lunges. Sprint to the top of the baby hill – 15 (IC) CDDs. Mosey back down to the bottom – chair plank. Run to the top of the big hill – 20 (IC) flutter kicks. Mosey back down to the bottom. All you got to the top of the baby hill – plank. Mosey back down to the bottom. Run to the top of the big hill – catch your breath and start heading for home. Stopped along the way for more Merkins and some dollies.
MOLESKINE
YHC caught some flack for his ski gloves today…but they kept my hands warm and dry. Chelms brought out the brand new toboggan hat, complete with tassles. Rock Thrill left his rain gear at home, apparently YHC’s tweet was to blame for that…since I only said there was a 60% chance of rain. Leroy and Flutie Flakes looked more dressed for an early Fall workout as opposed to 35 degrees and raining #toughguys.
With all that said, still we were out there. Pushing through. Lying in the cold street. Running through the wintry mix. Like real men. Because treadmills suck.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
