Downtown Escalators

October 2, 2020

WHEN: 10/02/2020
QIC: Misery
PAX: Coxswain, Sodapopinski, ShakeIt, Chowdah, Bitcoin, Spot, Happy Trees, Bluth, Banana Split, Magellan (not really), Treehorn, Dial Up

Yesterday, YHC asked the location of post Honeybadger coffeeteria and was promptly given the Q by an unnamed site Q who then skipped the workout.

FART SACK TIME

I did appreciate the push, I hadn’t been to honeybadger in some time.  I enjoyed seeing old friends and always enjoy downtown workouts.

2 for EC 5K run.  Combined with yesterday’s Moose, I ran for nearly 14 miles with ShakeIt over a 24 hour period.  6 for coffeeteria.

Warm Up

SSH x 25
Little Baby Arm Circles x 10.  Reverse
Willie Mays Hayes x 9 (brain fart by the Q)
Imperial Walker x 15
Slow Merkin x 10

The Thang

Durham Tour Escalator plus special
10 Burpees
20 Squats
30 Merkins
40 Lunge steps
50 LBC

Honeybadger is at an amazing location.  I try to branch out and utilize as much of downtown as possible. Also, allows for social distancing with the various wide open spaces.
The Thang was an escalator with a bonus exercise at each stop

1.75 mile covered.
