The Thang

After WoR, the squad took off running north towards Naperville North. As we headed North we split up into two teams of 5 to Indian Run up the high school. A year ago YHC took the PAX up to NNHS but overshot Mill St and we had some splitting up happen because of the detour and different paces. This time YHC double-checked the map to make sure he knew where Mill St was and ONCE AGAIN overshot it and headed north on Eagle St instead. #AAR!

Once at the school parking lot each PAX claimed an oversized diagonal bus parking space for some 11’s. PAX Broad Jump’d up the space for 1 Mary Catherine Gallagher and Mosey’d back down the space for 10 Derkins on the curb. Once 5 PAX completed all 11 rounds we headed south towards the DT hill.

As the guys made it back to Jefferson St right by the Naperville Parks building YHC decided to do some Caterpillars on the sidewalk to wait for the 6. As soon as we were all in position a car needed to pull in to the lot (awfully early, I’d say!) so we bailed and took off for the hill. “No man left behind” is our mantra but Appletini was somewhat left behind but he eventually found us at the hill!

@ the Hill, we worked on some S.A.D.D.L.E Up – a series of escalating exercises In Cadence. 15 reps IC the first time doing an exercises and then 10 for all subsequent rounds. After each round of exercises on the path at the far end of the hill by the river, the Pax would run to the bottom of the hill and then turn around and Bernie Sanders up the rest of the way and then run back to the path. Exercises were:

Squats – American Hammers – Dolly – Dying Cockroach – Lunges – E2K (we didn’t get to E2K)

Went like this: 15 Squats, Run, 10 Squats + 15 American Hammers, Run, 10 Squats + 10 American Hammers + 15 Dolly’s, Run, 10 Squats + 10 American Hammers + 10 Dolly’s + 15 Dying Cockroaches,  Run + 10 Squats + 10 American Hammers + 10 Dolly’s + 10 Dying Cockroaches + 20 Lunges, Run. End at the top of the Hill.
