Our Own Magic 8 Ball

5 PAX played some simulated Magic 8-Ball and 8 Corners with lots of merkins, squats, and plyometrics. The Magic 8-“Ball” determined weather we Burped, squated, hineyed, or hopped the rest of the way. Ended with some stretching and Mary!

Tequila Sunrise 2/28/26

0545 Warmup: Leg swings, Popeye’s dip move, squats per Wide Right, mosey up parking lot and back

Goal was to warm up our legs “dynamically” (moving) instead of “statically” (standing or siting stretches)

0600 Main Event: The route was simple: Counter clockwise loop; Judd to Main Street down and up through downtown Fuquay to Judd and back to the park for 5 miles – boom

Wide Right rucked while Popeye and I enjoyed a nice mosey. With one-to-one chatter, I learned a lot about Popeye’s life and faith over the last few years. You should catch up with him some time.

0700 COT

Mary: None

Possum Trot Glory Days 3/4/26

Revisiting the pre-Covid glory days of Possum Trot, F3SW’s original AO. Pleased to see the 12 Oaks bus roll in with Flanigan and Brony. And Double D and Gump. Goal is to use the signature site features: gravel parking lot, the hill, the tennis courts.

Warm up SSH 25x, Imperial Walkers 15x, Hillbillies 15x, mosey for some big boy sit-ups.

ME: Grab a rock

We struggled to count off: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1… Finally got it right.

Mosey to “gravel” parking lot and line up. “Ones” push rock while bear crawling out and back, while “twos” do arm exercises: curls, overhead press, triceps. Three rounds.

Began moseying around the tennis courts, but exercised on the hill per Gump’s request. Hill. Dips was in great condition: mowed, not too slippery. Climb hill, dips at top on guard rail 20x. Five rounds up/down hill with dips at top.

Final stretch of rock push with bear crawl to return rocks. Head to tennis courts.

Once again, divide into ones and twos. Ones BTW while twos hold plank. Three rounds.

Finally, circle the inside perimeter and settle on the far end to set up “suicides.” Emphasis on speed while not pulling a hammy. Run to sideline of court 1 and back, sideline of court 2 and back, court three and back, court four and back.
