While four GridIron regulars were about to line up elsewhere in Richmond to begin Saturday’s Richmond Marathon, eight of us posted for GridIron proper. We undertook a mini-marathon involving 26.2 laps of the Pouncey Tract Park parking lot.
Take an initial lap, then take sidewalk chalk to mark the concrete in tracking progress. Warmup with SSHs, DQs, IWs, Helicopters, Merkins, APDs, and Arm Circles. Divide into two groups of four and complete Quadruple Check – four rounds, taking turns running a lap, holding People’s Chair, completing Freddie Mercuries, or Merkins followed by a Plank. Follow with a lap.
Pair up with one guy completing a lap while another guy completes a few Squats then holds in Squat position. Four rounds.
Pair up again with one guy completing LBCs while another guy runs one lap, then turns around and runs back the other way.
We added laps between exercise rounds and finished our 26.2 laps with a final push before time. Mix in a few Merkins as desired for November’s challenge. Finish with a few minutes of stretching. COT and Cecil took us out.
Garmin indicated distance – 3.3 miles. Not to shabby.
