Leftover sandwich : BB edition

Leftover sandwich : BB edition

Between work and life, YHC didn’t have a lot of time to think through a pre-blast.  Rather than truly going green and recycling an old workout, YHC opted to steal bits and pieces from prior workouts (and re-use the late pre-blast).  Kind of like when a drug company adds another drug to one rolling off patent to prolong it’s life / profit stream for another 7-years…but anyway.

No other takers for the pre-run, so YHC got to be alone with that little voice inside, which was a scary place.  Good middle of the night BRR training.  Internal monologue:

Nice downhill to start.  Try to keep an easy, sustainable pace.
Abbotswood has to be the darkest street in Charlotte…eh, maybe just S. Charlotte.
It is eerily quiet.  And dark.
Totally convinced there was someone hiding behind a boat parked on the street.
Pre-blasting a solo run seems like an invitation to Chester
Could I outrun a kidnapper?  Are they on foot or in a car? 
This has to be something Sundancer has thought.  And irrationally feared.
Is that a raccoon?  3?  Why are there 3 raccoons together?  Weird.
And why did that one run into the storm water grate?  Ninja Raccoons!
Hope my car is still there.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Swiper moved it and acted like it was stolen.
Oh, a truck.  It’s Hammer.  And Sledge.  Only, wow, 2 minutes to “go time”. 
Small group.  Good thing there isn’t much of a plan.
Oh, there’s Swiper.  At least even numbers.

So the four of us did the following:

Run the Chadwyck Chaser mile.

Partner up on plush grass of the newly striped mini-football field behind the school.  Partner 1 stays by the conveniently placed cone and does mountain climbers.  Partner 2 runs to the playground.  Partners collectively complete 100 pull-ups, 200 merkins, 300 squats, 400 LBCs.

Run the Chadwyck Chaser mile again.  COT.

Had to call an audible after +/- 20 minutes of mountain climbers.  If regular mountain climbers were an escalator, most of us were creaky old stairs.  Heart rate stayed up and shoulder are sore, so mission accomplished.  Lunges were far easier today but will be felt tomorrow.

Swiper and Hammer went with the 1-exercise at a time route, which probably increased their mileage…only they didn’t quite finish.  Lost time from all the transitions.  YHC and Sledge did some of each exercise per trip and easily finished, adding another 40 squats albeit with less mileage (+/- 3 miles).  Think everyone still felt tired by the end of what felt like a grind.

Appreciate it, gents.  Same time & place next week.
