January 10th, 2018 By KGB

10 brave pax posted to enjoy the almost spring like 41 degrees.  They defied both the sack and the fear of unknown with the virgin Q for a trip unto these hills.

Warmorama:

Just under 1 mile mosey through Concord to post office parking lot

• SSH x 15
• Hillbillies x 10
• Dodging truck pulling into parking lot x 1
• Cotton-pickers x 10
• Found some wall and did calf and quad stretches alternating leg with 10 second hold each.
• Moseyed back to Church St.

 

The thang:

Just under ¾ mile loop from the bottom of muckle flugga to the front of the Cabarrus County Gov’t. building via El Ab’s secret stairwell.  Pain stations as follows:

• 8 Peter Parkers at top of stairwell.  Run to corner of Church and Means, then:
• 8 air squats, run downhill to top of muckle flugga, then:
• 8 WWII’s , run to bridge at bottom, then:
• 8 burpees, then run back uphill to the beginning via stairwell.

Repeato,

Decreasing each exercise by 1 each time.

Until time is called

Mary:

The unseasoned Q didn’t leave much time, but a brief: upward dog, into downward dog, back to upward, then slow stretch skyward.

Moleskin.

1. Most pax completed three rounds and what will come as a shock to all, Grover lead the charge, who was well into his fourth when mary was called.  Solid effort by all as it was heavy on un-level running.
2. Fairly chatty pax this morning with PT and El Ab leading the way with local, regional, and national sports talk.
3. Skinner informed Q post-workout that it is a Class 2 felony in this state to do burpees immediately followed by an uphill climb.  Duly noted.
4. Luther struggled mightily when arriving back at Mary to remove multiple layers of upper body warmth that ended with him completely shirtless.  The Q will take that as a compliment and will wear it as a badge of honor all day.
5. Thanks to KGB and BCR for keeping the new Q in line and (mostly) on time.

Thanks to those that posted and to all PAX I’ve met over the last 7 months.  Can’t overstate the impact it’s had.  Thanks for letting me lead today.
