So in thinking about the Q this week – I really wanted to do an interval workout. But I felt that I’d done a few of those at The Rabbit recently and wanted to mix things up a bit. For inspiration I went down the rabbit hole (see what I did there?) of old backblasts to see what I cold see. I found what I was looking for in what I mistakenly claimed this morning was a Dueling Banjos Q from 2018. Upon closer inspection it appears this was a VQ by As Is and Horny Toad as Co-Q? I don’t know – before my time I guess – but you can read about that one here: https://f3churham.move-marketing.net/tour-de-aos/. Today we did this:
WARMUP:
SSH – 25IC
WMH – 20 IC
Slow Merkins – 10
Raddish Pickers – 10 IC
ME:
- Mosey to Woods Charter (#TheThicket)
- PAX line up at 1 end of Parking lot for Lt. Dan. Up the ladder back and forth across the lot until we reach 10.
2. Mosey to Pollard (#TheMustang)
- No longer an AO – but I loved the Mustang so we came here anyway.
- PAX line up in the large parking lot near the hill for a round of suicides – easy out AYG back to each of the 5 successive islands.
3. Mosey to Tennis Courts (#TheWall)
- PAX grabbed some picnic tables for 20 IC step ups followed by 20 dips.
- Repeat x3
4. Mosey to Traffic Circle (#TheBigHouse)
- 5 Rounds of hill sprints North on great Ridge parkway (to first turn). Easy down AYG up.

COT:
So it looks like we’re not going to be getting away from COVID any time soon and if your lives have been changed at all like mine one thing you have more of is time at home. Time that you can put to use in a way other than binge watching Netflix in its entirety. I’ve been working hard on teaching my kids world geography because American kids traditionally stink at Geography and I want them in the future to be able to say “We learned all of that during COVID!” – that way they will have a positive mental association with something good that we did during all of this. I challenge all of you to do something similar in your lives – we often create goals for ourselves at New Years, on birthdays etc. – but what better time than now to commit to getting better at something, learning something, starting a new healthy tradition with your family. Make the most of your extra time to be better in some way – so that when you look back on 2020 you can have something in your life that you can say – you know – that was a messed up year – but I used some of that time wisely and I’m better in some small way because of it. Until next time – AYE!
