It was a cold, wet one...

Me and triple pounded one out today in the slushy, rock-salt filled parking lot of our high school. Went for a mile run to warm up, followed by a bunch of the usual stretching (squats, lunges front and side, frankensteins, side-skips, front-skips, backwards running, etc.). Nothing new here. Followed the warm up with two circuts of 10 excersices. These were full body squats (25), side lunges (10 each side), Supermans/men (20), 8 point body builders (15)--these are burpees without the jumping, squat jumps (10), burpees (12), wide pushups (25), diamond pushups (15), Leg obliques (10), and... something else that i can't remmember right now. But it sucked. This was not the order in which we did these excercises. I am fairly certain that we started with the fullbody squats and the lunges followed, and I know we ended with Burpees, but in between is a little hazy. in any case, we jogged about 30-40 yards or so in between each set, and took a three minute break in between the two circuts. Then we did some form excercises. These were accelerators that involved a bunch of different starting positions, i.e. 3 point starts, 4 point starts, push up up starts, push up down starts, and sitting on our asses facing the opposite direction of the way we were running starts. These were about 30 yard sprints, done at full recovery. Repeating them important is not important; making sure you are focusing very hard on running and accelerating with the proper form is the goal. We then did chase-downs, which involve two people laying down on the asphalt on their stomachs, with one person being approximatley 1.5 yards behind the other. Then, the person from the back yells to start, and has the goal of catching the person in the front within the 30 yard sprint distance. Again, these are to be done at full recovery. Then we played a game with a ball. One person stood about 8-10 feet away from the other and dropped a tennis ball. The other person has the goal of catching the tennis ball before it hits the ground a secondd time, and can move as soon as the ball dropper makes a motion with his hand. We were originally battling each other, with the winner buying the loser a 6 pack. However, because we sucked at consistently bouncing a dead tennis ball, we made an executive decision to split a 12 pack. This was the all important comraderie portion of the workout. All you people who don;t live near any other sideshow people and are working out alone: force one of your friends to buy you beer.
