The M’s alarm went off and my first thought was why would she would have set her alarm for so early. There’s no way she needed to be up at 4:30, especially when she normally wakes up after 5.
Then it hit me.
My mother would be so disappointed in the string of profanities that came out of my mouth to start my day.
I had to be at Terrapin in less than 5 minutes.
Good thing I made a habit long ago to have everything laid out the night before. I threw on my clothes and ran to the car.
Good thing Terrapin is the closest AO to my house in F3Greenwood.
The pax would have to start without me, but at least I would still make it without losing too much time.
Uncle Jesse had one of the largest groups I had seen at a bootcamp in a while in COP and getting warmed up. I jumped in and apologized for my tardiness and off we went to get started. My intention had been to go mobile and tour Uptown Greenwood, but that would have to wait for another day. Today we would have a simple, straightforward workout within the extended boundaries of Terrapin.
The Work:
Hill repeats in the Cambridge Bowl including the Charles St. spur.
20 merkins at the bottom of each hill. 10 Jungle Boys at the top of each hill.
Run through all three hills 3x
Early finishers did ab work or more merkins.
At this point we lost several runners who returned to Starbucks.
We headed to the gazebo for a little AMRAP of 10 stepups, 10 dips, and 10 incline merkins until “recover” was called at 6.
COT:
Wait. What’s this?
FNGs?! Seriously. It has been a while since we’ve had multiple FNGs at a workout. Tclaps to 2C for bringing them out. Anyway, I explained what we do and went through count and namoramas.
Welcome to Dangle and Windsor! Hope to see y’all come out often. It doesn’t get any easier, you just get better.
Announcements:
XMAS PARTY AT BLU’S. DEC 14, 6-9PM. HC TODAY. NO TOOTHPICKS.
Saturday bootcamp at Talon will return to the previous start time of 6 with COT at 7. A run group will also begin this week from Talon at the same times.
Pathway House is this week. HC to help serve or to donate funds.
BOM- We balled up and prayed.
Again, I apologize for my tardiness and lack of creativity for the workout. I will be sure to make it up soon with another bootcamp Q.
There is no better way to start a day than in the gloom with so many HIMs. I am thankful for this group and the men who get up to push themselves and each other to be better every day.
