610 Stomp #17 – Baker’s Half Dozen

PAX:Side Effects, OSHA, Rudy, Hawgcycle, Amnesty, Crab Legs (FNG), Tool

Six brave men gathered in the pleasantly cool gloom of City Park to get our usual Tuesday fix of running and burpees.  Hawg rolled in hot to make it an even baker’s half dozen.  After kicking around some chatter on which route we’ed take, the consensus seemed to lean towards the Moss St. route so off we went.  Once we got past the museum and near the bayou, the PAX started to spread out into a few packs (no pun intended) as we embarked on our normal 4.5 mile route.  The workout consisted of six minutes of running, then a minute of burpees and/or walking.  Rinse and repeat till done.  Not exactly rocket science but not exactly for the weak either.  T-claps to several PAX for having a brainfart and passing up the normal turnaround.  Way to get extra credit.  T-claps to Hawg and Side Effects (and maybe others?) for knocking out 15 burpees at each stop.  We all finished around the same time with a 9-10 minute-per-mile pace.  We all sealed the deal with 15 burpees at the end.

One FNG this am who is from Florida and is a Florida Gator and Tampa Bay Bucs fan so immediately someone blurted out “Crab Legs” in reference to QB Jameis Winston’s ordeal.  Needless to say that stuck….welcome Crab Legs.

A good workout was had by all.

    All ready to join the PAX, I instead found myself cursing: “someone” (a notorious visitor at JV’s abode) hid the car keys, so JV was stuck uptown. It was gloomy out, so I moseyed to AP. Moseyed around the park–for the first time sans rest, so I was pleased. Finished off at the mini-foundry for some pullups, merkins, dips, LBCs, derkins, and Putins. It’s better with the PAX.

    Hawg, according to the interwebs you are a full man: Baker’s Half Dozen:
    Half of a “baker’s dozen” (13 rather than 12), thus, 7 rather than 6. The term “baker’s dozen” to mean 13 originates from an 11th-century practice in which bakers would include an extra loaf of bread in a dozen so as to avoid facing penalties for selling underweight bread. The seven deadly sins are a baker’s half dozen of things one should avoid in order to live a moral life http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/baker's+half+dozen
