YHC was pleased to be joined by a good showing of runner want-a-be's this morning. How many you say? The answer is 10. That's pretty solid for SiblingRivalry. So whatever Toolbelt is doing, don't stop!
I believe, generally, no one likes Burpees. True? Or, maybe, pax just don't like a lot of burpees, especially all together. That being my hypothesis, I designed my virtual weinke to sprinkle in Burpees, but only 5 at a time. Hardly worth pax grumbling about that many I thought. Not only did I sprinkle them in, I included them as part of the BLIMPS we did throughout the workout. More on BLIMPS later, but first, let's deal with what it means to mix "sprinkle" and "Burpee" in the same sentence. Is there really any such thing as "sprinkling" Burpees? Is "sprinkle" ok to use in terms of Burpee up to a point, and then above that point the action verb should more aptly be "throw down" such as "The Q threw down on the pax the call to do 15 Burpees". I know I definitely would share my thoughts with the Q at that point. For today, the call to do just 5 Burpees didn't cause a lot of mumble chatter. I also wonder how many pax post at SIBling Rivalry because it is just a "running" workout, and even the call to do any Burpees might have offended them. Thanks for letting me share that with you, and if you just read all that, don't you have something better you should be doing - maybe some Burpees.
The BLIMPS Thang
We started with SSH x20 waiting for a few stragglers who Gridlock suggested we not name.
We ran to the entrance of the school and started deconstructing BLIMPS. Burpees x5
We took a left on Water Oak and ran to Bertonley and did Lunges x5
We took a left on Bertonley and ran to Pineview (who Toolbelt correct YHC on the way back was not "Pinecrest") and did Imperial Walkers x5
We took a right on Pineview and ran towards McAlway, but before we got there we stopped and said "Good Morning" to ReddFoxx and what I believe may have been his Shield Lock working out in his garage. The other Matlock was there tossing around some iron with at least one other, who since we kept our distance I couldn't make out who it was. We continued on to McAlway and did Merkins x5
We took a left on McAlway and ran to Ridgecrest and did PlankJacks x5
We took a right on Ridgecrest and ran to Ellsworth and did Squats x5
This is where the Hill Training segment came in. Deertick and Hoover are both doing BRR in a couple of weeks and this segment really benefitted them, although I think they would say it benefitted everyone just the same.
We moseyed to the end of Ellsworth to start another version of BLIMPS by
Running back to where we turned onto Ellsworth and did Burpees x5 (another sprinkling)
Recovery Mosey to end of Ellsworth and Ran back to top of Ellsworth and did Lunges x5
