On this day, we await remnants of Michael. Schools are closed, but for most of us it will be business as usual.

EC streak alive with Nemo, Deadbolt, 187, Pablo and Warbucks doing the standard loop

Warm Up: Jog around the soccer fields and circle up in starting lot for the usual including Good Mornings, SSH, Mt. Climbers, Fazio Arm Circles, and another set of SSH.  Shifted to some leg stretch to close it out.
The Workout: On the jog to back corner of soccer fields we stopped at top of greenway hill.  Partnered up for a brutal set.  Partner 1 was on the run to bottom of hill and back while Partner 2 was AMRAP select exercise.  We did this 5 freaking times.  Exercise order was merkins, burpees, squats, SSH and air press – this was all about pushing yourself to a limit. After each Partner completed each of the 5 exercises and 5 laps on the hill, we recovered on the jog back to the parking lot where we found the wall and alternated BTTW and dips on the bench.  5 rounds, again, working up from a 10 count to a 14 count.
Mary: Strong Plank-o-Rama, real strong
Announcements: SAS 5K, Beer Mile, HSHM shirt order
Prayer: Lab Rat house on market and preparing for move and to work with his family business leading sales for Oyster Farm, all those impacted by Michael and still recovering from Florence, all our brothers through unspoken prayer.  YHC took us out.

Shaken not Stirred

PAX: , , , , , , ,

Michael was slow to arrive so the rain was a no show this morning in the gloom. Expected to be the last high temps and humid morning of the year, Kenny’s Grave had 6 PAX show on time with 2 more right after go time.YHC had a shelter beat down planned and stuck to it. Some tokens were in play and I’ll get to the title in a bit as Martini was shook during Mary. Here’s how we took care of business.

Warm Up:
Slow jog around the parking lot where we were met by Norm on the way back around.
We circled up for the following:
Stretches to start
Smurf Jacks IC x20
Mtn Climbers IC x20 (got faster)
Sun Gods IC x10X4
Michael Phelps

The Workout:
We had a short mosey to the shelter where the PAX saw some brand new state of the art “Cinder Blocks”.
Two PAX per picnic table. One on the bench side and one on the table side.
Ring Around the Table (4 sets total x10 IC for total of 40 reps)
Box jumps (modify on high end if needed)
Dirkens with shoulder taps
Rotate each exercise then move to the next side of the table to complete the circle

Partner Up – one cinder block per group
3 rounds each with 2 exercises, rotating partners

P1 – Butt Blasters, elbows down on bench, one knee on bench lifting outside leg out and then back while bent. Set of 10 each leg IC
P2 – Cinder Curls x10 IC (total at end of 3 rds was 120 reps)

P1 – 1 legged seated squat x10 IC
P2 – Wonder Bras with cinder block x10 IC

P1 – Jump Lunges x10 IC
P2 – Rut Rows with block x10 IC

P1 – WWII’2 with block x10
P2 – Dips AMRAP

Mary:
Balboa sit-ups x10 2 rds, P1 sits on top of picnic table at very end while P2 holds down feet. Sit up going all the way down to ground and back up like Rocky did in Russia. These hurt…but not as bad as Martini’s head. Last set, Modify decided Martini needed to modify without any warning. He went back and never came up. No concussion and he could still see afterwards. He’s done worse at ECU though.
In-and-Outs on the bench, seated at end of bench bring knees to chest and back out. x10 IC
Ran out of time for American hammers with the blocks. I’m sure PAX appreciated that.

Verse:
Psalms 55:22
“Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you;He shall never permit the righteous to be moved”
We all have burdens in this life. Let’s give it to the LORD and know he will provide.

Announcements:
Beer Mile Sat., Long runs U-turn, HSHM training going strong, The Odessey CSAUP, Darby’s events, t-shirt order coming up for HSHM

Prayer:
Little Clay, Crab Legs, Noah’s Ark, DD’s family, Banana Seats CT scan this morning, storm victims

It is always a pleasure to lead a shelter work out. YHC really finds a lot of stuff you can do with a picnic table to keep you moaning and groaning. It may not hurt on the first set but by the third, you should be feeling it. Look forward to continuing the Kenny’s Grave fun on Thursday’s. If you haven’t made a trip down to South Park lately, I highly suggest a visit soon. You won’t regret it!

BS Out!

There’s no John like home…

PAX: , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm Up: Fozio arm circles (Dog Pound’s unexpected choice) 10 forward / 10 back, high knees, Good Mornings (Dog Pound’s expected choice), Side Straddle Hops

The Workout: SURPRISE!!!  We ran!!!  Unsurprisingly we continued our study of the 5ish miles of hills provided by Crossway.  Shredder enlightened us that we would be running fairly close to his house.  I asked if he had a full coffee pot he might like to share.  He chuckled and reminded us all that he had a John we could utilize if necessary.  Good looking out Shredder, there are really only the Johns that nature intended on Crossway – I’m sure Salsa may have utilized those facilities.  Its just the same since Lipstick opted to stay close to his home and with his own John this morning (Q!).  Just like the aptly named Skidmark who also decided to stay close to his personal John during our Crossway session in the gloom (Skid had texted the day before to vote for a little Crossway action – I’d call that an HC).  Tsk Tsk Fartsackers 😛

All in good fun gentleman – see you out there next week!

Mary: Sorry Mary…  We’re pooped

10 PAX for a Half Dozen at Any Given Sunday

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , ,

Still waiting on the cooler temps and the humidity to lift, but 10 PAX got stronger this morning at Any Given Sunday. On my way onto Raleigh St. en route to Womble, Brexit and Bernie were seen getting some extra miles. Arrived early to the tennis court lot and quickly was met by additional PAX including Forceps, Skidmark, Hot Spot, Farva, Hasselhoff, and Draper, and Boy George. YHC unfortunately could not lead this morning still nursing shin splints, so Skidmark (fresh off a 1/2 Marathon yesterday at U-Turn) thankfully accepted the leadership role on this morning’s run.

Warm Up: Quick jog to both sides of the tennis court lot. On the second pass, switched to butt kickers and Frankensteins to the half way point and then alternated carioca to the end and then back to the half way point to circle up for the following:

Imperial Walkers x10, Hillbillies x10, Hacky Sacks x10 (IC). Fazio Arm Circles x10 F/B. Michael Phelps

The Workout: 6 mi Scout Run (1/2 Marathon Route- counterclockwise around the lake and exist route to Sugg Farm instead of greenway). While PAX enjoyed a humid 6 mi in the gloom, YHC stayed back in the parking lot to do some stretch\core\upper body work as follows:

Occupied a parking space- Squats x50, Bear Crawl to the other side, 25 Curb Merkins, Bear Crawl back, Squats x25, Bear Crawl to other side, 20 Curb Merkins, Bear Crawl Back, Squats x20, Bear Crawl other side. then stopped…. feeling uninspired flying solo in the lot, YHC decided that instead of sleeping in car waiting for #HIM to return as jokingly noted by Brexit after the warm-up,  made a quick trek to the nearby Dunkin Donuts for some coffee and donuts to invoke a 2nd F after the run\COT.

Arrived back to the Womble lot to see the faint glow of F3 reflective gear in the distance by the baseball fields as PAX made their final push to the tennis lot. Realizing that they were a little over 0.25 miles short of 6mi  upon return to tennis lot, Skidmark, Hot Spot, Hasselhoff and Draper decided to make it official and took off for another loop around the soccer fields.

Circled up for some stretching and mumblechatter.

Mary: Varying stretches

Announcements: CSAUP- October 20th, SAS 5K next Saturday, U-Turn needs a Q for next week

Prayer: Prayers for Hasselhoff who is battling a pinched nerve in his neck, Draper celebrating 18 year wedding anniversary. YHC’s friend John, who recently passed this week. He leaves a wife and young children. Continued prayers for his family. Additional prayers for a safe and healthy upcoming week.
