Sunrise, Lake Views, and Hills por Cuatro Hermanos
As advertised by the AGS Marketing Team the night before, this morning started with clear skies, a route to porta potties, and a sunrise that turns that decision to wake up early on a Sunday into a solid choice. With an HC by Lipstick and an interesting ‘MC’ (Midget Commit) by Dauber, YHC wasn’t certain what to expect as he arrived to an empty parking lot at 6:21am. Fresh off the new route at U-Turn yesterday, Maybelline comes rolling in looking for some additional miles. YHC has been traveling these past few weeks so have been way behind in posting, but came to learn that this was Maybelilne’s 7th straight work-out. A big shout out for putting in the work this week.
6:29am and here comes H1N1 and then quickly followed by Lipstick making good on his HC the night before. No Dauber sign of Dauber, who cashed in his “Midget Commit” this morning. YHC may have to consider alternate marketing to entice Dauber into HC’ing for next week’s workout that clearly outlines a route past Lowe’s.
Warm Up:
6:31am (1 min behind) and gave the word to the PAX to follow YHC to the 1st picnic shelter. PAX performed alternating step ups in cadence X10 each leg. Mosey’d down the steps and to the opposite picnic shelter for some prison squats x12, Recovered on the jog toward the Crazy Ivan lot where we performed 10 Imperial Walkers IC. A few duck noises were heard at count 5, and by count 7, the stench was clear….Lipstick cologne. Some Michael Phelps to waft the lingering smoke cloud away and then quickly mosey’d for alternating Butt Kickers and High Knees to the far end of the lot. PAX performed stationary leg lifts X10 and proceeded back to the start with some toe and heel walks. Continued the mosey and mixed in some squat slides, which is a sideways walk with a squat at each step X12. Recovered on the jog back to the parking lot where PAX held a squat hold while YHC explained the route.
The Workout:
This morning was gonna a hybrid trail lake run with a heavy dose of hills. The route was the standard Bass Lake run, going counterclockwise around the lake, but instead of performing the full loop around the lake, PAX performed a half moon and proceeded straight back up Bass Lake Road and on to Stinson, with periodic circle backs for the six. A big shout out to all of the PAX posting this morning for picking YHC up all over this morning’s route. The hills were an aggressive decision after UTurn yesterday, but with thankful for the push and stronger because of it. With the circle backs, Lipstick had 6 by the time we hit the parking lot, but quickly realized H1N1 and Maybelline were short changed about 0.5-0.75mi. Maybelline proceeded to baseball fields and a right onto Grigsby and back onto Stinson to the parking lot to get his 6.
