Lighthouse, Roger Roger and I gathered in the cold and the dark. We took off out the entrance to Pocahontas Middle School and turned right. We took a right on John Rolfe to Liesfeld and stopped for a brief warmup. Next, Roger Roger took us to Short Pump Park. We ran the ‘circuit’ four times; First time we ran a loop and did 10 Merkins, Second time, run a loop and did 10 Merkins and 20 LBCs, next 10 Merkins, 20 LBCs, 15 Dips and finally 10, 20, 15 and 25 of I forget.
Lighthouse took over. We exited Short Pump Park on Pump Road, left turn on Three Chopt and back to the school. We did 4 corners in the parking lot with 20 Hand release Merkins, 30 LBCs, 40 I forget (a popular exercise today) and 50 Pickle Pounders. Despite the cold, no pickles were harmed.
Then to the track for three rounds of 200 meters ‘fast’ and 200 slow; or in my case 200 slow and 200 meters slower.
I took over and we ran to the ‘island’. Three rounds of 15 Derkins, 15 Dips and 1 lap.
From there, we ran back to the start and met Gypsy who was in the midst of a 10 mile run.
Always great to have people to run with, especially people who will make sure you finish the route.
Busy day ahead for Roger Roger. I’m looking at my 7-month-old grandson waking up from a nap on the floor. I owe him a bottle in a half hour. Fortunately, he is very good-natured. Being a granddad is easy, at least most of the time. He’s a very charming little fellow. We have him because his daycare is closed for Covid and his mother and father both work. Earlier, he did some Little Baby Crunches. Got to get him started off right. As I told someone else, he also does deconstructed Burpees; he burps and he pees. Maybe I can get him to a workout. Sometimes, he wakes up early enough.
