This is another pre-blast for your pleasures. Back in the day, these were fairly common when you wanted to get pax hyped up for a workout. Maybe for a convergence, or some challenge. It would read something like this: all right you bunch of skallywags, meet me at the corner of I’m Your Dad & My Grandmoms is Harder than You for a snot woggler of epic proportions. Then dudes might reply with comments (yeah, dudes would even comment on these things) like: Remind me to bring your moms laundry over ’cause it’s been sitting in my bedroom corner for a week now or Can’t wait to try your candy out; that junk that Abraham has been dishing is too easy for my liking.
Anyway, you get the point. Sometimes a workout just calls for a Pre-Blast to get dude’s attention so they can prepare for the pending kick to the figs. Well friends, rest comfortably because that’s not the reason I’m writing this one. It’s because my 2.3 has the Covi. He returned from a church camp that must have had the same health department inspector as the one that monitors the Sturgis Bike Rally. Or Burning Man. Anyway, we’re all getting tested on Tuesday and, until then, I might have the Covi too. Even though we’re always outside, I don’t feel right working out with you fellas. Or at least at the same time. There’s a high chance that I’ll start an hour before you fellers just to maintain distance.
If you haven’t already fallen asleep reading this, you may be thinking to yourself: Cousin Eddie, don’t you have Growruck this week? To that, I’d answer yes sir I do. Then you might ask me: are you pissed that you might miss out on GTE24 because some dude 18 ish months ago and 50,000 miles away from you decided that raw baby birds would be good for breakfast? To that, I’d say: yes sir I am. There’s a slim chance that I’ll be able to make it. Tuesday will tell. Man, I hope I’m clear.
Back to the workout. Here’s what you should do:
Mosey to the bottom of Test Hill. Test Hill is the proper name for the incorrectly named Hospital Hill. It’s true. Oldheads will tell you that this hill is where Driver’s Ed teachers used to make you start your ’58 Chevy (manual, of course). If you didn’t konk out, you would pass and get your license.
Back to the workout (again). It’s basically Old ER but you start at the bottom of Test Hill. Sorry, I’m rambling. Like this:
1 – from the bottom of Test Hill, stop at the top: 20 merkins/2o LBCs
the rest is pretty much like Old ER*. At the bottom of the 2nd stairwell, just head back up towards the light and back down Test Hill.
Repeat.
*there is one difference. Instead of taking one rep away (19 reps at Lap 2), you’ll need to ADD 5 reps at each lap. For example, you’ll be doing 25 reps at Lap 2; 30 at Lap 3.
Got it? Good. Go get it.
Word of the Day:
It’s hard to fail, but it is worse to never have tried to succeed.
