It was great to see Gypsy (and his dog) walking the bus loop while the rest of us ran 4.25 miles and did some other exercises to slow us down. We missed a WTH regular in Pigskin but I am confident he and Mickey Mouse were doing burpees while we did our thing. Here is how it went: The group ran to West Broad Village and around the lake before cutting over to Thamesford Way. We then ran to the end and cut over to the Church Run pool parking lot. After some warmups of Imperial Walkers, Don Quixote and…

3 of us at WTH today. Gomer did his own thing and Lighthouse and I did the following. Right on 3 Chopt Road to John Rolfe, right to Old Brick, right to the parking deck near Dave and Buster’s. A few exercises while I recovered my breath. Then up the stairs to the top of the parking deck, across the top level and down the other stairwell, 20 merkins and back up the stairs to the top level, over to the initial stairwell and down to the start. 5 times. A little stretching. Over to the little gazebo on the…

Wellesley 5k The healthy pax incurred a 3.4 mule run with bootcamp around the Wellesley lake.. 7 pax showed up on this beautiful morning and said whos the Q.

Warm-a-rama: Don Q Helicopters Plank Merkins Stretch x 3 Partner work out x 6 Partner 1 runs the hill partner 2 squats Second…

Had a good/patient group this morning for my 3rd Q. After losing my breath 5 minutes in, Lighthouse taught me to not count every piece of the cadence. What a difference! (of course) Pigskin also counted in English more than usual to help. From there, the mix of running and bootcamp leaned too much on the running side. Lesson learned. Here’s what we did: Ran to Wells Fargo. Some security camera likely caught 20 Side-straddle hops,15 Imperial Walkers, 15 Don Quixote’s and 20 Flutter kicks. And me learned to breathe while reminiscing Homer’s cadence skills. Ran to the first parking…

After a slight delay (Dingy rolling in a bit late due to high seas) the crew set off down John Rolf Pkwy for a one mile warmup followed by a run through two neighborhoods seemingly following a delivery truck (right turns only as the big brown trucks like to do) into most every cul-de-sac we were able to find. The Thang: And here is what might have gone down – Each cul-de-sac offered a new exercise completed in cadence: SSH (20)DQ’s (20)Helicopters (20)Cherry Pickers (20)15 Burpee’s oyoFreddy Mercury’s (20)Merkins (15)APD (20)LBC (21) – we had so much fun YHC added…

A decent day for a nice morning run with a mixed upper body exercise.  We ran around the pond area and started to warm up with my awesome bad cadence routine, at least 30 dips. Then we ran to the garage and add 1 burpee on every turn up to the top (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 burpees). Then ran down with 10 LBCs every turn.  2nd round with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 burpees.  Ran down with 10 sumo-squats every turn.  The 3rd round with 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 merkins.  Wow, we…

At WaThoHuk, we’re not afraid of a little rain and 42 degrees. OK, Lighthouse and I aren’t. We ran out of the parking lot at Pocahontas to 3 Chopt Road, took a right, another right on John Rolfe, a right on Old Brick and headed to the parking deck on the same block as Dave and Buster’s. Three trips up and down the ramps. First time, a stop at each end of the ramp for increasing flutter kicks (4, 8, 12, etc.) Ended up doing 44 flutters kicks on the last stop. Next time, Merkins (1, 2, 3, etc). Final…
