Just a bit off

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

YHC decided to Q this workout with everything just being a little bit off. Seemed fitting given where things sit right now in our country, but more on that later.

EC was popular with YHC, Emeril, Skidmark, 187, Pablo, Cupid, and Dawgpound out for 2+ miles.

FNGs: None today
Warm Up:

0530 hit and we were off. Head towards the ramp and circle up at the first foul ball marker for SSH x10 IC. Continue around the park stopping at various spots we don’t usually stop at for Frankenstein’s x8 IC, Merkins x11, and Good Mornings x7 on Emeril’s count. We stopped at the top of the ramp for the main thing to kick off.
The Workout:

Starting from the top, run to the first foul ball marker, do 4x Merkins, then back to the top. Repeat for each foul ball marker and then all the way to the bottom (6 stops total). Pax picked up the six and then regrouped at the bottom.

YHC talked about some things seeming impossible at first (like running a marathon) and then told the pax our next exercise was to bear crawl the length of the ramp. Pax did a good job of pushing through and made it to the top – really made the legs sore!

We took a recovery mosey around the park stopping at the guard rail for Russian Dips x7 IC.

We moseyed back to the top of the ramp for round two on the foul ball marker hills, this time with 2x Squats.

This time when we regrouped at the bottom of the ramp we crab walked the entirety of the ramp, with the option for pax to switch forwards/backwards as they wished.

At the top we moseyed around clockwise one more time – YHC instructed the pax that we were going to practice our downhill finish now that we had sufficiently tired legs. Pax were told to keep good form and to roll through the entire downhill back to the basketball courts where we circled up for Mary.

Mary:

LBC x10, Low Slow Flutter x10, Freddie Mercury s l o w x20
Announcements:

Mulch sign up – if you haven’t done it yet give it a shot!

Co-Q Duel weeks begin next week – All AOs closed except for the featured AOs listed. Go post somewhere you don’t go very often! See Slack or Facebook for details.
T-Claps (Recognition):

Snap for setting the pace on the ramp repeats. Dude is fast!
Prayer:

YHC talked about this workout being inspired by how things in our society right now just feel a little off. We certainly aren’t back to normal, but we still have to step up and be leaders in our communities, families, and workplaces. On that note YHC took us out.

DT Body Rockers

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

DT has been, like many other AOs, a site now known for a much smaller crowd. This weekend I had a few verbal HCs so I was excited to plan the workout. Heading back in from a nice EC run with Fanny Pack, we were greeted in the lot by several #HIM at the ready to put in the work. I wanted to do some serious rock work. Focus on form, slower cadence, and surround the sets with non-stop cardio. All said and done I think we were successful and we even logged 1.5 miles with a w/u jog and plenty of laps around the back of the library in what I like to call “the smile lot”.

FNGs: Nope
Warm Up: Regular DT loop then circle up for some w/u stuff
The Workout: Headed over to the rocks and picked up a rock that would provide a good challenge for curls. Moseyed over behind library and set up shop. Started with biceps – curls and then what I call 7’s 3 ways. Broke up the sets with some SSH and then a jog around the parking lot with a break for some plank jacks, MT Climbers and regular plank hold with focus on form. Did this routine a few times. Next moved to triceps with standard press followed by some SSH, then Crab Walk across the lot. Next we broke out a new one, the Body Rocker. This is 10-step exercise with the rock, focus on form not a crazy fast cadence. We did 10 of them, then jogged around the lot with a break for plank stuff, Did this 3 times too. Returned the rock alternating shoulders then set up for a bucket brigade style return – each of us taking the weight off our shoulder, having the man next to us pick it up and pass it along.
Mary: As always, a nice set 2x through of LBC, 6 hold to Low Slow Flutter to 6 hold, Homer to Marge, American Hammer.
Announcements: Mulch, upcoming Q weeks between HS and Fuquay
T-Claps (Recognition): Fanny Pack on the EC plus staying after to run hill loops on Library Hill and West Elm. All guys for showing up and putting in a steady effort for the full 45
Prayer: Educators working in uncertain times, those in recovery for continued strength on their journey, First Responders. A couple guys have a challenging start to work week with meetings with their boss. YHC shared a message about how we are all starting to carry added weight on our shoulders. We might not even notice it anymore but it’s there and it can sneak up and knock you on your ass at any moment. None of us needs to be a hero. None of us needs to be prefect. Let yourself share that weight through your faith, with your family and friends, with your F3 brothers. Closed in prayer after a silent count for unspoken.

Isn’t that a dead end…wrong there’s a hill

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

Q sheet was empty so FML decided to take a leap and Q the workout since we needed most of us only needed 5 miles this morning while following the training plan. YHC was excited to catch up with Mookie who was like BOOM!! when the Q sheet slot filled. Unfortunately there are sometimes more pressing issues like late nights with the family, illnesses, hangovers, or sometimes the fartsack just wins baby. I’m not going to speculate as I believe the sleeping in was needed. Next time Mookie, next time.

FML rolls in style. We promised 2nd trunk coffee complete with all the fixins in a picnic basket. No donuts or fritters, sorry.

YHC rolled up early to set up coffee and there was only 1 EC, Vaseline, who for 2 days in a row drove to the workout. Congrats on the PR.

Route was secret until time to post but I promised hills and we’d keep our feet dry. Minus the sweat, they stayed dry. We started with 11 but finished with 12. See how that works, you can come back with more, but never less.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Leg swings side to side and front to back, tiger claws, and some hip opening things
The Workout: The route went like this: Down Stinson and across Bass Lake Rd, into Sunset Ridge. Turn R at the first road and continue staying right until Sunset Walk, Sunset Walk to Gable Ridge, Turn R on Gable Ridge to Linksland. Turn R on Linksland. Follow Linksland to the end where some thought this was a dead end but it actually meets up with Salem Ridge again. Turn Left on Salem Ridge and loop back up to Linksland. Turn Right on Linksland. Follow Linksland past the driving range and pool and turn L on Gable Ridge. Follow Gable Ridge and turn R on Sunset Walk. From here follow the route back to Womble. At the peak of every hill we picked up the 6: Stinson, Sunset Walk, Linksland and Gable Ridge, Salem Ridge and Linksland, Linksland and Gable Ridge (after pool), Sunset Walk, Stinson at Womble.
Mary: Some stretching OYO

Mulch is still going on.  Fill up the Qsheet.  Be aware of your HCs, too many AOs this week were solo or only had two.  If you’re planning on going give an HC so the Q can get an idea of who is going to be there.  If you HC, actually go.

Qswap week coming up soon.  More details will be coming.

Cupid finished his masters!

Prayer:

Praise for Cupid and also for Boy George who got an offer on his house.  Pray for everyone out there that is sick, or dealing with a sick family member, or just dealing with the stress of life right now.
