YHC woke up not so bright but very early this fine morning at 4:24a, a good 30 minutes before my alarm. I took that as a sign to give Insomnia EC run a try. I was a bit intimidated by the 9 min/mile pace but was shocked to complete the 4.0 miles in 36 minutes flat. A record to try to improve on next time.
After the run I met up with Disco Duck and Pulley for a bruiser side workout at SNS. As the big group was off with Rip, we held in the parking lot for some limited running ankle friendly fun.
Warm up:
- Good mornings
- Windmills
- Plank Jacks
- Merkins
Thing 1:
Parking lot 11’s start with one squat, bear crawl to the island for 10 merkins, lunge walk back.
Thing 2:
Step up, dips, and urkins. 20, 15, 10 + a suprise 5.
Thing 3:
Modified Dora with 50 american hammers, 100 homer to marge, and 150 LBC.
Mary:
Called a few Mary exercises while we waited on the PAX to return. Mix of dying cockroaches, low slow flutters, box cutters, and a few others. Finished mary with the PAX ending with have a nice day.
43+ total PAX, 3 for the bruisers beat down. Prayers for Michelob’s daughter.
NMS:
- Bruisers is way harder than it seems. Limited running does not mean limited pain.
- It was an honor to lead my brother disco and my new brother pulley.
- Having a lot of PAX at once site with many activities was nice. Got to see a lot of familiar faces that don’t travel south to Apex frequently.
- Do something new to push yourself. Insomnia was a stretch – to early, too fast, too far but I fought my excuses and succeeded this morning.
- I did feel like I was cheating on Crimson. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder? Tune in next week for Crimson partial Q week to celebrate his birthday.
- Duck is a beast. Enough said.
