Church Run

At 6:02 AM, as usual, we gathered together along the wall on the front stretch of track behind E Rivers Elementary. Some of us had been there for twenty minutes. No one has arrived before Chip H. this week. I suspect he gets two miles of warm up prior to the workout. Kaffee gets a mile warm up every day. Matty and Gary get a mile. Michael gets a mile. Jimmy, Jimmy S. and Mary Anne get half to three quarters. Irene gets a half.

If we get to the track at 555AM, We can get a minimum of a half mile a morning. If we do that 5 days a week, that's another 2 and a half miles a week. Over a seven week program, that's an extra 17.5 miles. This is what we call "padding the book." We pad our weekly and monthly numbers by doing long warm ups and or cool downs.

Did y'all know Charles is gunna be the Big Dawg Preacher at a Church Downtown?

So we did some stair step aerobics, then ran and lunged to Rivers. We did more stair step aerobics and squats before hauling up Muscogee. More lunges along Peachtree preceded the descent to the Duck Pond. We worked hips and but-tox in the goose poop then ran to the Catholic courtyard. Yet more stair step aerobics followed by leg presses. We circled up and worked inner thigh, then boogied over for stair repeats at the Baptist back lot. We did some ballet in the front courtyard before rising up to Peachtree and crossing. We finished at St Phillips then ran back to our cars.

3miles (with a half warm up), 600 repetitions of various lower body exercise.

  2. I knocked out 6.3 miles this AM in Central Park in the rain. Wish I could have been part of the church run.
