Using Some New Muscles

4 bootcamp/running hybrids braved the mean streets of Short Pump for another round of WTH. Despite my rookie status, YHC decided to creep up from Southside and grab the Q. Here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

Warm ups: Walking Russian Soldiers, Walking Arm Circles, Walking Helicopters, Walking Hillbillies, Lunge Walks, Dead Man Hang.

Exercise One: Two mile out and back run through the Whole Foods/ACAC shopping area. We stopped periodically and completed 20 merkins, 20 heels to heaven, 20 squats, 20 lunges. I believe we ended doing 5 sets. Finish at the track.

Exercise Two: Track Drills

100 meters of the following: High knees, Butt Kicks, Carioke x 2, Power Skips, Hurdle Drills, Striders x 2.

Finished with a lap around the perimeter of the school to clock in at 3.16 miles (per my watch).

Pigskin took us out.

Final Thoughts: Thoroughly enjoyed leading at WTH for the first time. It’s definitely a workout you have to plan, to some degree, in order to get the mileage in. Although I tend to avoid Short Pump, have to say – they have some damn fine sidewalks. Makes for easy running. Great work by all the Pax and thanks for coming out in the rain.
