BHM – Another Start of the week

The BackBlast:

YHC was planning to run the Muthaship today to prep for BRR with my vanmates. I was looking forward to a grueling climb up there 6 or 7 times from Captain Jack. I shared my plans with Freeloader after he text me and told me that some sloth was on Q at BHM. I said hey Free…that’s great, join me for the Muthaship. That’s when he said the sloth was me. I double-checked the BigHairMonday Twitter handle and sure enough, my number was called.

So with that, I planned my BHM Q. The plan was simple, run-heavy, find hills, keep repeating. At the start of the gun at 0530, we headed up East BLVD, stopped for exercises at 5 / 3 bank, and then met up at the top of East & Kenilworth. Pair up, zipper down the triangle stopping to do 10 leg throws each with your partner.

Then head over to the Waverly Ave for 7’s. Burpees & Jump squats. Head out of Waverly over to Moorhead. Stop for some dips. This is where it got a little fun. My cadence counts sucks, but it’s not as bad as the new guy. I gave Big Rig the exercise call for Dips.  Dredd did some impromptu Qschool for Big Rig. We were all better off – Big Rig is prepping for his debut Q in October.

From Moorhead we went over Kenilworth & Harding. Run down Harding, stopping at every other light for increasing merkings (5, 10, 15….). Plank it up while we wait for the 6.

Over the bridge onto the greenway, run down Little Sugar Creek Greenway, stopping for some dips, then all the way back to the gravel lot on East. Plank for a minute, then COT.

Overall, we got a few hundred feet of elevation and 4 miles.  Good start for the week.
