Last Resort of One

YHC volunteered to take the reigns of this awesome AO and I pulled into the parking lot at 5:26, it was raining and windy so no shovel flag. I wait and with no one around I decide to run the mile to get that off the list for today. While on the run I had no reflectors, no head lap (left at home) and it was very dark with the heavy cloud cover. I passed two people who were walking in this weather on the way out to the turn around spot, turn around and return to the school. Still all alone, no one with the exception of a large pile of mulch and a county vehicle being stored on the lot.

My first solo workout since joining F3 and here is what went down:

IT - Pennywise Type Beat ( FREE SCARY TRAP INSTRUMENTAL) by ...
Scary thoughts on the lonely run

Return from the run go the the main entrance of the school and perform 20 SSH, 10 DQ, 10 Imperial Walkers, 15 Arm Circles(10 small and 5 big) , reverso, 20 LBC’s, 20 Merkins.

So now it is really raining hard and I start with a Triple check.

Triple Check 1 – 20 Merkins, 30 Squats and run a lap around the parking lot (staying clear of the storm drains…and Pennywise!!!) I do this 3 times.

Triple Check 2 – 10 Burpees, 30 LBC’s and run a lap around the parking lot doing that rotation 3 times.

Finished with 2 minute to spare and did various Plank positions staying quiet to not wake the neighbors but heard Swirly calling out ‘Regular, right hand high, regular….on for 2 minutes!)

Changed shirt and drove home the the day.
