Can we just stretch?

12 Pax graced Ting with their presence this morning at the beginning of the taper for BRR. YHC promised a must for all marathons and BRRers. The workout was pretty straight forward and simple and hopefully just difficult enough to keep the Pax coming back.

EC: Emeril, Pablo, Dawgpound, Redenbacher, Skidmark

FNGs: None
Warm Up: 1 lap of warmup introducing the workouts at each station
1. 15 Hillbillies
2. 10 alternating reverse lunges
3. 5 Parker Peters
4. 10 Burpee Box jumps
5. 15 Rocky Balboa Situps

The Workout: Partner up off a random count for a two man weave/Indian Run.  Pax would start by the dumpsters at the top of Ting. Run to the short wall for 10 Burpee Box jumps and the return to dumpsters for 5 Parker Peters. Then run down to the turn by the tennis court for 10 alternating reveres lunges. Back to dumpsters for 5 PP. Down to the corner below the ramp for 15 Rocky Balboa Situps. Back to Dumpsters for 5 Peter Parkers. Down to the guard rail for 15 hillbillies and back for 5 PP. Then do it in reverse.

Group met for the 6 and did the last two exercises as a complete unit and return home.

Mary: Some stretching
Announcements: I’m sure there is more mulch to be put down
T-Claps (Recognition): Cowboy and his first 100 mile month
Prayer: Guys stay healthy through BRR and marathon training

Good Ol’ String of Pearls

FNGs: none
Warm Up: SSH x 15, Hillbillies & Imperial Walkers x 10 each, Good Mornings x 10
String of PearlsThe Workout: The concept of a string of pearls may or may not be unique to the F3 Nation. The concept is simple enough though; you run a little, do an exercise, rinse and repeat. We finished up with the warm up and took off. YHC was kind of making it up as we went, so I’m probably forgetting some of what was done. But some exercises that made an appearance were the good ol’ Murcan, negative pull ups, squats, WWIIs, air presses, balls-to-the-wall, Urkins/Durkins/Dips. A good pace was kept along the way. Came back to the tennis court for Mary.
Mary: Popcorn Mary. To be honest, I don’t remember all of what was done. But we had enough time for the rounds before calling out quits.
Announcements: Mulch sign up!
T-Claps (Recognition): Flojoe for the nursing work he’s doing.
Prayer: Flojoe’s family while he’s away, families navigating school with their kids, families with members dealing with Covid, Crab Legs as he continues his journey.

Schweddy U-turn – Lipstick’s soul mate spotted

Holy schweddy balls it was a hot U-turn on Saturday as 12 PAX literally sweated their balls off over five miles.  Warm up consisted of some good mornings, IW, daisy pickers, windmills and 5 burpess OYO courtesy of Lipstick’s alarm clock malfunction.

Fortunately for the PAX there was a late run site to behold as two ladies apparently decided to be miserable as well Saturday morning.  We made our way down Green Oaks only to see one of them emerge from a construction port-a-potty…could it be?  Lipstick’s sister from another mister?  Perhaps dare I say his deuce dropping soul mate?  His poop partner?  His BM buddy?  For those that missed it, all I can say is this chick could really “run for the john”.  Truly a site to behold.

Announcements – mulching around Bass Lake is getting close to wrapping up, check out the sign up sheets to help support.  Leadership met on Wednesday this past week to discuss 3rd F opportunities, see Slack for details.

Prayer requests – Skidmark’s neighbors daughter who is recovering from a copperhead bite, UTI’s brother as he is on the mend.
