The numbers have been relatively low of late, but the Pax posting on these cold mornings are made of strong stuff. This strength was on full display during this morning’s meandering mosey to Indian (Applesauce) Mound for some much needed hill work. Four fellows faithfully followed YHC for some fellowship and this workout:
Conditions: The weather.com predicted 34 degrees at 5:30, but it turns out we only reached down to a balmy 37. It was not raining, so conditions were perfect.
The Thang:
Warm up at the Flag:
- SSH x20 in cadence
- Squats x20 in cadence
- Mercans x20 OYO
Mosey to the intersection of Chambly Drive and Queens Way Drive. Circle up.
- SSH x20 in cadence
- Squats x20 in cadence
- Mercans x20 OYO
Continue Mosey to the top of Indian (Applesauce) Mound Road (Indian Mound = Sitting Indian Style in school transforming into Sitting Criss-Cross Applesauce = Applesauce Mound).
At the top of the hill, Pax do 20 ‘Mercans, then run to the bottom and do 20 Squats and 20 SSHs. Run back up the hill and do 18 ‘Mercans, run to the bottom of the hill and do 18 Squats and 18 SSHs. And so on and so fourth. We made it to about 12 when time was up and we needed to sprint home. During our ups and downs, Skirt joined us for the workout and fellowship.
Run back to the corner of Queens Way Drive and Crown Point Road and circle up.
- SSH x20 in cadence
- Squats x20 in cadence
- Mercans x20 OYO
Run back to the Shovel Flag. In the parking lot, we had a few minutes left for some Mary:
- Flutter Kicks x20 in cadence
- Freddie Mercury’s x20 in candence
- LBCrunches x20 in candence
And TIME.
