Soft launch occurred at Olde Providence this AM. This happened:
Standard opening mile at decent pace (six was in at a 6:40). Mosey through the OP campus to give everyone a sense of the AO: through the gates and past the playground, concession stand, and ball fields, down the dark trail (only 3 spider webs to the face!), and out to Foxworth. Yep – it’s a decent little hill (compared to yesterday, anyway). Mosey back on the path, past the fields, etc. to the playground. First running of The Kirk – so named by Lovebug, I believe, as I originally called it Magnificent Sevens:
7 pull-ups
14 burpees
21 merkins
28 squats
35 LBCs
Run a lap around the school
All got in about 5 sets of exercises with total mileage of about 3.4: STRAVA, or it didn’t happen
Moleskine:
Week 1 and set an attendance record: 3! plus a new speed record for the six on the opening mile (6:38 – apparently a recorded mile PR per Strava for Bushwood, which is further proof that if you want to get faster…). Got a tour of the AO, and there is a lot to use including The Buddy Bench, which begs for partner work. Today was a little light on the exercises, but that will change. Forgot the tunes…next week.
May have to work on the name. But it’ll do for now. Appreciate being pushed and pulled out there today. That’s what this format does best – kicks in the competitive spirit and makes you push just a little harder.
Until next week,
Kirk
