Day 12: Revenge of the Leprechaun

The Email: 


Boss, 
The set up for tomorrow is a run. I want you to run for 34 minutes getting as far as you can just don't stop moving. Here is the Sully spin. Set your timer for 1 minute. Every time it goes off stop your run and bust out either 5 Burpees or 5 pushups (alternate each minute). Immediately start running again, even if its a shuffle. This will allow you to get the best aerobic & anaerobic combination for this cardio session. 

As for your Callus and the "iron cross"... Man the f*ck up. Put pine tar on it, sand, spit or duct tape... You wear gloves and I'll drive the 95 minutes to punch you in the throat with my good arm. 

Kill it bud

The Equipment: 

Who the hell thinks of these workouts?!?!?!? To reiterate: 

Hey Chris,

I know you hate running and have a complex about exercising by yourself in public, so run really far and every minute stop where you are and do one of two of the most RIDICULOUS looking exercises where you stand.

And don't come back until you die (That's what Kill it means, FYI)

Yesterday I had a gathering of sorts with the family and allowed my nephew to sleep over. Long story short, no one slept much last night and I ended up sleeping through my alarm this morning forcing my workout into the evening, which probably benefited me. I mean, doing this exercise along a main road at 7 am? It's like going to the beach dressed like this:

No mankini for me, thank you. Leaving the house, I quickly realized that my first part of the run was almost 1 minute from start of the street to the end. Rather than spend a third of my time calculating one minute, then doing the pushup/burpee, averaging in the depreciation factor for fatigue, carry the one, divide by Pi, fillout the 1040 EZ forms and mail it, I'd just go back and forth until I crashed or hit the 34 minute mark (How he got 34 minutes is beyond me. I thought it was his Yatzee score at the time of his writing it, but high score is 5 6's for 30 plus 50 bonus points for Yahtzee)

Each leg of my run was the one I was going to finish and call it a night. Each time I finished said leg, I pictured Cady in her chair ahead of me and I pushed onward for her. 

I finished 35 minutes, 2.44 miles and an ungodly amount of Burpees and pushups. I'll post the picture of times and pace in the morning. My laptop is being fickle tonight.

What I did learn with this exercise:

1. Lemonade no matter how long before this kind of workout, is not staying in your belly for long. Around the 10 minute mark it made an appearance in the back of my throat and used my dipthong as a speedbag for a short while.

2. Eminem is an angry man. Moreover, its been a very long time since I've been in college and the drug references in all those types of songs are leaving me mystified. But hate the world Slim Shady, hate the world.

3. I can finish every exercise I asked to do, with the right mindset. Well, maybe not the ones I have to do to fail...

4. 1 person seeing me do these exercises at night time is ten times scarier than 10 people seeing me during the day. Especially when its a woman walking a large dog and carrying a dark pepper spray looking object.

So now its off to eat, banana and watermelon for dinner tonight. 

I'm off, Awaiting tomorrow's bloodbath...
