Lately it seems that most of the Fury workouts have been centered on relatively stationary strength work due to the impending Spartan race. When planning this Q, YHC decided to mix it up a bit and go mobile. In all, we covered just shy of 3 miles and put in some work in some new territory. It went something like this…
Conditions: The usual – 70’s and muggy
Disclaimer: Given before we departed
Warmup – Nice run down Laurel Ave to the Food Lion parking lot
The THANG
4 Corners at each light pole
-Corner 1 – 10 shoulder tap merkins
-Run to Corner 2
-Corner 2 – 40 flutter kicks
-Bearcrawl to Corner 3
-Corner 3 – 30 jungle boi squats
-Run to Corner 4
-Corner 4 – 20 burpees
-Carioca to Corner 1
-Rinse and repeat 1 more time
Pax Choice – looking at the bypass – do you want to go left back toward junior and murderers row or go right into the unknown? Inspector said “go right” which was the answer YHC was hoping for so we moseyed to the old Golden Chick parking lot
10 decline merkins w/ feet on the guardrail (this is a whole different angle of difficulty)
Mosey across the road to Burton Plaza (there’s lower parking area here with two hills and endless possibilities)
-Top of the hill at the road – 10 merkins
-At the bottom – 20 big boy situps
-Top of the hill in the parking lot – 10 burpees
-Rinse and repeat – 2 times through
We’re 1 mile out from Fury, so it’s time to mosey back.

-YHC knew there was quite a bit of running in the plan and when Tootsie Roll showed up, YHC knew he’d rolled an ankle running trails recently. Immediately alternate plans were being concocted in YHC’s head but Tootsie said he needed to run and he’d tough it out. And that’s exactly what he did. Good work.
-It’s easy to get in a rut of doing the same type workout over and over, but don’t be afraid to mix it up every once and a while. This was exactly what YHC needed on this particular day. I hope it was for Inspector and Tootsie Roll as well.
-As we approached the Food Lion, someone said they wondered if Jeffery was around. But he was nowhere to be found.
