What would YOU do for a Klondike bar?

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

I don’t know about YOU, but this is what I did for a Klondike Bar!

I rode the Metro from Huntington to Rosslyn with Carol

Carol and I walked up the 328 moving escalator steps at Rosslyn so I guess it was less than 328 steps...

We exited the Metro station and ran approximately .8 mile across the Key Bridge to the Exxon station in Georgetown on M Street

At the Exxon station we bought two gallons of water and carried them to the base of “The Exorcist” steps at the end / right of the parking lot

Walked up and down these 75 steps, four times, while carrying the two gallons of water (approximately 8.34 pounds each)

Then we performed three rounds of the following:

• 10 push-ups
• 20 burpees
• 30 jumping squats
• 40 mountain climbers (both legs, not singles)
• 50 crunches

We then walked up and down the 75 steps again, four times, while carrying the two gallons of water

Summary:

1200 stairs - up and down carrying over 16 pounds
30 push-ups
60 burpees
90 jumping squats
120 mountain climbers
150 crunches

After that we did a bit of stretching 

Then we walked back to the Rosslyn Metro – carrying the two gallons of water; my shoulders were burning 

We rode the Metro back to Huntington

Then we dropped off the water

Next we walked two blocks to 7-Eleven for a Klondike Bar! Well I got a Klondike Bar, Carol had an ice cream sandwich!

Credit for the workout goes to Heather! Thanks, Heather! It was a blast!

The workout itself took about an hour. Maybe? We forgot to look at what time we started but know what time we finished. Oh well. Next time!

And we are already thinking of ways to modify this!

Next Up: Army 10 Miler

Happy and Healthy Training!
