OK – I admit it. I hate burpees. I love them but I hate them. So I generally avoid Tuesday (its my wife’s day) but even if I can make it- I avoid it. So I decided to take the Q just to mix it up. I did want to work on my running!
So it was 7 PAX in the gloom. No lights at the track to set the mood. Lights kicked on at 545.
Ran in for a COP. I know you guys told me – no COPs on Tuesdays. Oh sorry to the whinners – you know who you were. I am still licking my wounds from a loss in the 7/8 playoffs last night and I can’t take it out on a bunch of 7 yr olds so you guys get to deal with my pent up anger.
SSH x 20 , Low Country Crabs x 20, Hillbillies x 20, Pylo Merks x 20
Then to the running workout.
Approx 30 yrds –> High knees, Butt Kicks, Lunge Walks, Power Skip for Height, Power skip for distance, Karaoke with knee to waist – this was awkward, so I went regular karaoke for the other leg. Of course Hawgcycle like the awkward way. The only person who likes awkward more than Hawg is mr Awesome. Then finished with Backwards run and backwards crab walk.
The Thang: 10 in 10. Run the straight away of the track and jog the curve 10 times. The goal was to beat the PAX. Tclaps to El Wire for the big hustle. He almost lapped some of the PAX. Tclaps to Rudy for pushing hard – he was the only PAX to finish to the cones. Yes I noticed!
All of the PAX was back to the Circle by 9.5 min. Good work men!
The 2nd THANG: or THANG 2: Back and Forth x 10. Backwards run 30 yards then spring when you get the 30 yrd mark. We did this 10 times in 2 heats. Tclaps to Hawg who won more than half of the sprints.
Then we collected the cones and mosey’d to the clearing.
Here we did some abbreviated Mary.
Dying Roach x 20, Leg Lifts x 15, Russian Twist x 15
Then the punch out for 10 Burpees.
Finally we close with the COT.
At the COT – we were thankful for all of the blessings in our lives.
Specifically with our families.
#gratitude
Always a pleasure but an extra pleasure to VQ the 610 Stomp.
Peace-

Well done. I had my doubts, but the Q was good. That’s how we get faster. And maybe if I get faster, I won’t be lapped by El Wire next time. We only ran 5 laps…and he lapped me. I also have a correction to the BB. El Wire also finished to the cones. I saw him, because I was nearby, because as I said…he lapped me.
Initially I was disappointed that this foreigner from Uptown was changing our workout from a nice 4+ mile run to a track workout. Well, he proved me wrong. It was a great workout and I welcome those foreigners to Q a City Park workout anytime. All improved and grew! Aye!
I particularly hated “job” -ing the curves (will someone please create a spell checker that detects incorrect words properly spelled)! The sprints were fine, but I just did not know what to do when I came up on a curve. I don’t know what kind of uptown watch you were using, but my watch definitely did not say 9:30 when I reached the COP. El Wire must have been on a 4:30 mile pace to make the rest of us (me in particular) look so bad because he lapped me before I finished my first mile and I ALWAYS run under 6:00.
Oh and the uptowners can go back to their Cumbaya next week because we will be back to burpees.
