As YHC pulled into Dorton Park it was awesome to see a strong group already gathering.  In the end, it was 9 pax that showed on this perfect Hump Day morning to see if YHC could remember how to Q.  With legs that are feeling the effects of BRR training, YHCs primary plan was to keep running at a minimum, which is what inspired what shall be called the Street Light Block Party.  It went something like this…

 

Warm-a-rama

Mosey one lap around the parking lap, then circle up for some…
SSH IC x40, Hillbilly IC x15, Windmills IC x10, Cotton Pickers IC x10, Mountain Climbers IC x25, Merkins IC x10

 

The Thang

Mosey to the dumpster to retrieve the blocks.  Next was overhead carry blocks to the 1st light pole after crossing the bridge near the tennis courts.  The pax gathered up and the Street light block party commenced.

• 20 curls, then bear crawl to 1st light pole (5 merkins), bear crawl to 2nd light pole (5 merkins)
• 20 chest presses, then bear crawl to 1st light pole (5 merkins), bear crawl to 2nd light pole (5 merkins)
• 20 inverted rows, then crab walk to 1st light pole (10 WWIIs, crab walk to 2nd light pole (10 WWIIs)
• 20 overhead presses, then crab walk to 1st light pole (10 180-Jump Squats), crab walk to 2nd light pole (10 180-Jump Squats)
• 20 skull crushers, then partner wheel barrel to 1st light pole (5 burpees), partner wheel barrel to 2nd light pole (5 burpees)

Start over and keep the party going…

• 20 curls, then lung walk to 1st light pole (5 merkins), lung walk to 2nd light pole (5 merkins)
• 20 chest presses, then side lunge walk to 1st light pole (5 merkins), side lunge walk to 2nd light pole (5 merkins)
• 20 inverted rows, then backwards lunge walk to 1st light pole (10 WWIIs, backwards lunge walk to 2nd light pole (10 WWIIs)
• 20 overhead presses, then reg lunge walk to 1st light pole (10 180-Jump Squats), reg lunge walk to 2nd light pole (10 180-Jump Squats)
• 20 skull crushers, then partner wheel barrel to 1st light pole (5 burpees), partner wheel barrel to 2nd light pole (5 burpees)
• 25 curls for the girls to close things down.

Order above may not be exact, but YHC assumes you get the point.  Overhead carry blocks back to their home.

 

Mary

The pax put the blocks back to bed and started the traditional mosey over to the big shelter when YHC noticed some folks to obviously missed the memo that we have permanent shelter reservations on Wed. from 6:10 to 6:15…. so, an audible was called and circled around the nicely padded swing area.  After a little crumbling that was promptly ignored, we ended the party as follows…
Low Flutter x10 IC, Low Dolly x10 IC, 10 Yurpees OOO (just because), and we wrapped up with 1 min “H”abs.

YHC expected one of the pax to brush the mulch off following Mary, but there were no takers.  Not sure why?

Post workout, the “streakers” got another day checked off for July by knocking out a quick 1 mile Mosey.

Announcements

• Rooster or Big Blue is at the wheel on Saturday.  Sounds like they may have to arm wrestle to see who gets to Q.  I say it should be Big Blue… b/c Rooster needs to be at the Pitchfork with me!
• Mark your calendars… Afton 1-Year Anniversary Convergence on Saturday, August 3rd at 7am.  It’s going to be a party for the ages.
• Happy hour on July 24th at Pharr Mill Brewery in Harrisburg following their weekly cruise.  I’ll firm up times closer to, but the run starts at 6:30 and social hour commences afterwards around 7:15ish.   105 Oakley Dr, Harrisburg, NC 28075

Prayers

• Prayers for all those on the IR.
• All unspoken prayers

 

Moleskin

Lots of great effort in the gloom this am.  This morning was one of those where it was hard to get out of the bed, hard to get moving, and hard to find motivation.  That all changed when I pulled in the lot and saw all the pax waiting and ready to roll.  I would never do all this alone.  Thanks for being there!
