Runna-how-you-wanna + Tabata at #DawgPound

QIC: Fingers

Date: 02/17/18

PAX: Starfish, Drama Queen (WD), Sour Mash, Touch Me Not (WB), Huckleberry, Garbage, Plunger, Fingers

8 PAX gathered at the dog park at Tanglewood for a workout designed to appeal to the tastes of even the most discriminating runner or non-runner, as the case may be.

Here’s how it went…

Warm-o-rama:
Mosey to the start point with various stops along the way for warmup exercises
(Start point is bottom of hill near steeple chase area)

Runna-how-you-wanna + Tabata:
Start with 20-on-10-off, 8-round, 2-exercise Tabata (4 min). Then, run for 4 minutes; 2 minutes out and 2 minutes back. Fan out from center in any direction, and run as far and as fast as you want. The only stipulation is to be back at center in 4 minutes. The idea is to accommodate PAX of all running levels/desires.

Tabata rounds:

1. Merkins/Squats
2. CDD/Lunges
3. Hand-release merkins/Monkey Humpers
4. Mountain climbers/SSH

Mary:
Mosey back to start with some stops along the way for “Mary” exercises.

YHC took us out.

Announcements and NMM:

• • F3 expansion:

    • See @Starfish if you’re interested in participating
  • Prayers for @Garbage as he is in the process of transitioning between jobs
  • Great to see @SourMash representing WestFoCo and #BBBC at #DawgPound today! I believe this was his first post at the storied AO. He crushed it like a champ!
  • Great to see @Garbage out again! 2nd week in a row!
  • And of course, great to see all of the other PAX this morning!
  • @Huckleberry does not like the term Fasthole. Ironically, he is a pretty amazing runner.
  • While there were no deer sitings this morning, we did get to see @Huckleberry jump the fence again.
  • @TouchMeNot is no slouch of a runner, himself. Along with @Starfish & @Plunger, those guys set the pace this morning.
  • @DramaQueen described the ideal #DawgPound workout – “no burpees and no @Mongoose”. This led to fond reminisces of @Mongoose amongst the PAX. As @Starfish noted, he would be happy knowing that we were talking about him. And with that, the obligatory mention of @Mongoose in this backblast is complete.
  • A joy to be associated with this great group of #HIMs this morning.
  • Pretty good playlist this morning (see below)
