Welcome to the club all you diehards! The single digits club was bumpin’ today in Indy with awesome showings at both workouts! Indy’s first good snow of the season brought with it our first deep freeze. But that didn’t stop the masses from #justshowup – ing.
7 degrees (that’s -14 in whatever wacky temperature measuring method you Canadians use up there; I mean, what kind of sense does it make having 0 mark freezing?!?! 32: much more logical) was the consensus on a couple phone apps, but we’ll go with 3 degrees (-16 Can-a-dia) because Howard Monroe says so; he’s got that direct weatherman connection. Either way, that’s one WinterWeatherProofSingleDigit Tag earned for everyone at the workouts today!
Workout
The miniature ice rinks on the steps meant we had to amend the workout, but it turned out to be a fun and interactive one. A couples workout in the singles club; it was a piece of choreographed (def didn’t spell that right on the first try) beauty:
Partners, after just uniting, were thrust into the workout being forced apart and made to run to opposite gold doors on the east and west, lunging by the doors.
On the return to the north side, they reunited in a passionate embrace of hoistees, low-five pushups, and plank jumpers. The reps started at 2 each and increased by two upon every return.
Partners were then once again torn from one another as they ran to opposite gold doors.
[There’s really no great way to incorporate these exercises in some sort of Shakespearean sonnet . . . and I wasn’t about to write fourteen lines . . . if you’re more sane than me, you should have read that thinking, “What the hell is this??”.]
Notes
- First and foremost, you guys absolutely rock! Thank you so much for spoiling the hell out of us with that holiday goodies basket! At breakfast club it took Shaw a legitimate 15 minutes just to figure out what all was in there….and boy was he excited when he got to this doozie:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
<love this gem - Huge props to Jaden for providing us with proof (that is pictures via a non-frozen camera) that the workouts actually went down today. We all know it happened, but as I learned during my trip to China, if you don’t have a picture, it never happened.
- Props to Michael Miller for the best Race Day split!
- Pack your bags we’re going runnin’! Next week’s Wednesday workout will be extra beneficial if you bring a weighted backpack along. If you don’t have anything like that, the workout will be great regardless.
- Friday’s workout will be at the north end of the canal.
- We’ll be down one leader for the next few weeks as Shaw will be out of town for the holidays for the next few workouts, then the same for me once he gets back. This will not affect anything workout wise, so continue to #justshowup!
Enjoy the rest of your week everybody!
