Knowing that brother Guinness is currently recovering from an ankle injury, YHC reached out to confirm he was able to serve up his normal pain this Wednesday.  Guinness felt it might be best to continue to fill his keg, so YHC let him know that I would do my best to make him proud.

Unfortunately for the non-running pax, YHC needed to get some extra miles this morning…  so a road trip with pain stations seemed to be the ideal way to provide pain and cover some good ground.  In the end, the pax covered approximately 2.5 miles and knocked out a lot of strong work along the way.

It went something like this…

Warm-a-rama

And we were off… mosey around the big shelter down the gravel path.  Stop for SSHs x20 IC.
Continue mosey to the road bridge over the creek.  Stop for HBs x15 IC.
Continue mosey to the lower new parking at the YMCA.  Penny Pickers x10 IC, Wind Mills x10 IC, Mount Climbers x20 IC.  Big props for Iron City for jumping on the clapping train during penny pickers.  I can tell he is a true HIM!

The Thang

We partnered up while staying in the new Y parking lot.
As a team, knock out 100 merkins.  I partner does reps while the other runs a lap.

Next stop, mosey over to the steps in front of the Y for a 10/1 ladder.
Squats at the bottom and WWIIs at the top

Next stop, mosey over to the Wine Room patio.
10 step ups each leg and 20 dips OYO.

Next stop, mosey over to bottom of Mount Afton
Lunge Walk 1/3 way up, the backwards run the next third, then backwards lunge the final third.

Next stop, mosey over near the Church and knock out 10 Diamond Merkins OYO.

Next stop, mosey over to the spider den and complete 10 squats OYO.

Next stop, mosey up around the top of the Mount Afton Challenge course and stop for 10 Wide Arm merkins OYO before we head back down.

Since time was tight, it was a straight mosey from the top of Mount Afton back to the park

Mary

Time was short, so Mary suffered.  YHC had to roll directly into name-o-rama at the end of this road trip.
