YHC is about to relocate his employer out of downtown and into Lakewood Shopping Center. There are many things to love about downtown Durham; this morning’s workout afforded us the opportunity to run past a few of these things and sweat in front of them.

The Main Event

Warm ups:

Side-shuffle hop 30

Willie Mays Hays 15

Imperial Walker 15

Little baby arm circles 15

Reverse little baby arm circles 15

Merkins 10

Mosey down to Geer Street Garden (try “the Pile”, or if you are a fatty like YHC, try the Fried Chicken with Arugula Salad!)

Indian Run the long way to Bull Plaza (YHC’s employer, El Futuro, occupies ground-floor office space facing this plaza which is about to become high-end restaurant/retail space (surprise!!). 

Bear crawl up Chapel Hill Street to the parking lot for Ninth Street Bakery (two words: insane macaroons)

Line up across parking lot

One PAX runs around block via Market Street while the remainder do:

–Plank

–Squats

–Flutter kicks

–LBCs

This quickly became two-by-two runners.

Proceed to parking deck on Chapel Hill Street (where YHC has parked for the last five years, ah memories…)

Run up each level and do 10 merkins on each level all the way to the roof

Check out the sunrise and the view of a quietly beautiful city

Run down stairs

Mosey to Central Park

Do Tunnel of Love downhill (FIRST TIME IN WORLD HISTORY THAT THIS HAS BEEN DONE ON A HILL)

Mosey back to parking lot

Welcome to TWO FNGs from Singapore, Fake News and Nat Geo! We hope you guys enjoy this group insanity as much as we all do.

Sal Pal took us out with a thoughtful few words.
