Q: @Othello
YHC travelled to Cary for Mothers Day (The M needed to see her babies) and on the way back I had a little over 2 hours in the car to devise my game-day plan. 5 Cinder blocks, a white board, markers and a BT speaker. Got it!
0500 YHC leave the house, gets 2 blocks away and remembers he forgot the BT speaker. Dam.
0515 YHC lines up the 5 cinder blocks along the curb by %-TH. We will be doing partner work and usually no more than 6 show up on a Monday. We have enough blocks for 10. Plenty.
0520 YHC meets @Firebrand, shows him a few stretches for his hurty-hip, then proceeds to write down 15 different exercises on the white board.
0529 Lousy disclaimer given. YHC notices there are 12 Pax in attendance (including YHC) – SH$! (@Wexler was #13 but came in during the middle of the BD) Anyone have an extra block in the car? @Constitution to the rescue with the round cement block called – the intimidator?
0530 Warm-a-Rama: SSHx10 IC, ISTx10 IC. YHC explains the morning routine. It went something like this….
The Thang
-Extinction Mile – everyone P/U the six
-Partner up: P1 does 20 reps of said exercise and continues through the list of 15 exercises until P2 returns from running the 1/4 mile or 1/3 mile loop. They switch.
-P1 now runs a loop while P2 does 20 reps of said exercise where P1 left off.
-Repeato until 615
-Extinction Mile – everyone P/U the six

Felt like @UncleFloyd and I were back in Clifton, NJ, playing in the streets there was so much traffic today. Definitely my bad for not remembering the new 1 mile loop. Your head has to be on a swivel if you are going to run past Burn in the morning and there was way more traffic in front of %Tap than I had expected. Seems like Bubba’s lot and Venture Church area might be the road less travelled? Anyway, it did bring back many childhood memories.
Thanks for playing along today gentlemen and for heeding my call to take the DRP and post on a Monday. Nothing like getting 12 of Harrisburg’s finest out there to sweat along side you in the gloom. Good to see @AlBundy and @UncleFloyd getting after it! This was @UncleFloyd’s second CB post – I see a trend 🙂 Everyone else out there was giving it 100% and I think we clocked a little over 4 miles, AYE!
Always an honor to lead. SYITG.
