Warm and humid weather greated the faithful at this week’s edition of the premier Wednesday workout. When Site Q Zima checked in with YHC earlier in the week, he was reassured that the plan was already in place. A combination of rocks, high repetitions, running, and a little dose of Undertoe’s Purgatory workout from several weeks ago were already in place.
As the clock read 5:30, and with no FNGs present, it was time to……COUNT OFF!
Pax counted off by ones…1 through 8. Please remember that number.
No time for Warm o Rama, there was work to do. Off to the rock pile.
Upon arrival, Pax were instructed to pick a medium sized rock that they would be performing “hundreds of repetitions.” Only running would be to front of school, maybe .2 mile away.
Mosey to front of school (the one with the circle drive). Upon arrival, put down your rocks and feast your eyes upon:
THE THANG
Pax would start with the first exercise (Curls) and perform 5 reps. Then put down rock and run around traffic circle (approximately 0.05 miles). Return and perform curls x 10, then run. Continue this pattern until all 100 reps of curls are complete. Then move on to next exercise (OHP), begin a 5 reps and continue.
As we began, the Pax who counted off as #1 was instructed to run around the perimeter of the school building. Upon returning to front, he would begin the exercises with the rocks. Pax #2 would then run around perimeter of school. Continue this pattern until all 8 Pax had run around the building. REPEATO. Everyone ran around the school twice.
At 5:12, it was time to return the rocks. No time for Mary either!
DONE!
Here are the totals: each Pax ran approximately 2.92 miles (give or take) and completed very close to 500 repetitions. Everyone was on squats when time was called.
NMM
Lack of Warm o Rama and Mary was duly noted by the Pax. Can’t get anything past these guys.
As one Pax noted (Zima?) the mileage snuck up you. Agreed. That was the point. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at at time.
Great to workout with Van Pelt twice in one week!
At least one employee of WSFC school district did not get the memo about school being over. And she almost parked on top of us….of course. Very friendly, though.
Q fail on the lack of music. This workout turned out to be very BnW like. Next time. Fortunately Fingers had some on his iPhone.
Zima confided that he had planned the same workout for his next Q. #donotlookatanothermansweinke
Balco was uncharacteristically quiet this morning. Must have meant he loved the format.
DQ warned YHC that a tersely worded email may be forthcoming from Burlap.
Huckleberry is about to be a father again – congrats!
Have had the pleasure of some 1st and 2nd F with Root Canal over the past couple weeks. YHC does not care what the rest of you guys say, he is a nice guy!!
Announcements/Prayer Requests
There is an open shirt order for gear. Check Twitter or hit up Zuckerberg for details on how to order.
Dawg Pound is in need of Qs…like this Saturday. See Fingers if willing to step up and lead.
YHC took us out, expressing gratitude for the opportunity of today and asking that we take this positive energy through the rest of the week.
Zima – Thanks for the opportunity to subject the Pax to the latest and greatest. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
