The cold must have frightened away any who otherwise would have posted on a holiday. Sad. Despite much chatter the night before, only Slots, Russo, and YHC attended the morning’s beatdown. 18 degrees by my calculation. And Russo wore shorts! As Run Cajun Run is well underway, YHC figured he would rather Q a run than attend a non-running Q as a participant. Especially with all of the grumbling from his RCR team regarding his shortage of miles.
Warm-o-Rama: 20 each of SSH, imperial walkers, and high knees.
The Thang: We started off with running. We ran to the lakefront, then did 10 merkins and 10 freak nasties on the wall, just so it wasn’t 100% running. That was followed by more running, with a quick stop for 20 crunchy frogs (in honor of Cowbell – noticeably absent) and 20 squats. And then some running back to the start.
Mary: Maybe not 6 minutes, but we wrapped up with 20 each of leg lifts, flutterkicks, mountain climbers, Peter Parkers, and dying cockroaches.
Thanks for letting me lead, guys! Also, for any interested, Russo proved that you can sweat profusely in sub-20 degree temps!
