Workout Die @ Mutiny

Posting this one late for LipSync – details are very blurry. 12 sided workout die was in play for lots of burpees, SSH, merkins, etc. Did some bearly curling in the back parking lot as well.

It was wet

It was 38 degrees, raining, windy and just about T-48 hours to HSHM.  Would anyone show?  Could this make for the most desirable and legitimate fartsack of the year?  YHC was followed into the parking lot around 4:59, arriving a few mins early for EC, by Warbucks, who was at the ready to to keep the EC streak alive and well.  As we ran we talked about a reasonable over/under for number of PAX to post.  We settled in on 6 and in typical F3 South Wake fashion, the safe bet would have been the over.  We had 7 strong and the rain actually let up, only for a few minutes, for us to get in another solid workout at Disney.

Warm Up: Standard jog around the soccer fields with some puddle dodging then circled up for a quick round of standard w/u motions – SSH, Good Mornings, Fazio Arms.  Did not take long as conditions were going downhill and we wanted to be moving.
The Workout: After some confusion from me as I tried to remember the very simple workout I had planned, we realized why I wanted us to be over on the playground wall (I was struggling to remember my plans to work dips into the DORA).  We split up and the goal was half on the run down to the entrance and back up the hill into the headwind with other half working on 100 merkins, 200 dips, 300 LBCs.  We made this more of a hybrid OYO/AMRAP and just kept moving through the work and the run.  Pretty sure each did 8 runs, and pretty sure combined we all did more than our share of the work.
Mary: Ended early so we could have bonus time as Kid Cracker took us through an extended session of yoga and stretch with focus on HSHM prep.  Again, in the driving rain.  We huddled under the playground shelter and the actual shelter is still closed for fire repair, but it made no difference.
Announcements: HSHM, collections for Brnadon and his family
Prayer: Crablegs, those working through injuries, LabRat working to get his house sold, victims of the fires in CA.  YHC took us out in prayer and we headed for high ground.

A Half Dozen for Post Half Recovery @ Any Given Sunday

The day after an incredible Holly Springs Half Marathon showing for F3 Southwake, 6 PAX decided to get up and begin the recovery process with a modified version of Any Given Sunday, while getting 2-3 miles with a side order of quality mumble chatter and much needed stretching. Arrived 7 minutes early and was quickly met by Double D, Skidmark, and Forceps. With a few minutes left before 6, Slide Rule and Cowboy rolled into Womble to make it an even 6 PAX for this morning.

Warm Up: Began with some lunge walks for 20 steps, then YHC wanted to get a head check to see if PAX were awake and called for high knees, which lasted for 1 high knee, and then transitioned back to lunge walks. Circled up for Imperial Walkers x12, Hillbillies x12, Air Squats x10 (IC), Fazio Arm Circles 10F/10B, Hacky Sacks x10, Plank Calve Stretches w\10 sec holds on each heel.

The Workout: Light jog on standard Cletus EC route for 2-3 miles, followed by Stretching and coffee\donut curls at Dunkin Donuts (2nd F)-where there was also a Blue Hen sighting.

Mary: Stretch-O-Rama: CP’s x10, Good Mornings x10, Windmills x10, Stationary High Knees x10, Frankensteins x10, Right Leg over Left\Left over Right for 10 counts
