No Rain at Paradise City Although it was Rainmakers Birthday
During the random mumble chatter at the start of today’s workout a comment was made that there is no anatomical benefit to running backwards. After a little internet search (because the internet is always right) I found this article: https://www.runnersworld.com/training/a20798335/the-many-bennies-of-running-backward/. Feel free to add your comments and thoughts to your favorite social media forum.
Now on to what happened.
5 PAX showed for the normal EC route. Emeril, Yogurt, 187, Skidmark and YHC (Cowboy). It feels kind of odd running with no rain.
Warmup:
PAX took a light jog around Ting park with the following stops and exercises:
Ticket Office
- SSH in Cadence x 20
- Windmill in Cadence x 10
- Good Morning Cadence x 10
Basketball Court
- Fozzio Arm Circles Forward x 10
- Fozzio Arm Circles Backward x 10
- T-Claps x 10
- Monkey Humpers x 10
The Workout:
After a quick count off the PAX started an exciting round of 4 Corners using the entire Ting Parking Lot. On the long straights we ran forward and on the short legs we ran backwards (hence the note at the beginning). At each corner the following exercises were performed:
- Burpees x 5
- Squats x 10
- LBCs x 20
We repeated this for 3 laps with some looping back for extra to pick up the six.
With little time left we headed to the top of the Ting Ramp where we split into 2 groups. 1 group did BTW while the other group ran ½ way down the hill and back. We then switched and repeated. We then headed back to the basketball court for Mary
Mary:
YHC grabbed his phone and then settled into a quick session of Mary. The following exercises were completed:
- Low Slow Flutter x 15
- Pickle Pounders (called by 187) x 10
- Merkins (called by Packman) x 10
It was great to be given the opportunity to lead.
Announcements:
- Its Rainmakers Birthday. If you see him today wish him Happy Birthday
- 2.0 Workout on Saturday was great. Will need a couple of PAX step up and Q future workouts. 1st Saturday of every Month.
Prayer Requests:
- Family known by PAX who lost a child
- Prayers for Health this week
