Mind the Elbows
/in AO Post, Speed Racer/by AbeFNGs: none
Warm Up: SSH x 15, Daisy pickers x 10, Imperial Walkers x 10, Hill Billies x 10, Fozio Arm Circles x 10/10
The Workout: Started out with a little mosey over to some picnic tables in front of the school. There, we gathered for urkins, durkins and dips, 10 each. Next was a light jog (being mindful of post-BRR/stair climb people) around the drop off lane and back to the picnic tables for round two. Rinse and repeat for a total of 5 sets.
Next, we went over to the loading dock where we split into groups of two. One group held balls to the wall while the other did LBCs. 15 count the first set but YHC decided that wasn’t long enough so we increased it to 20 for the remaining four sets.
Mosey over to the back parking lot. There, we did 15 catalina wine mixers. Jog over to the other end for 15 WWIIs. Rinse and repeat. On the second go round, Snap had the brilliant idea to move the wine mixers to the side walk as the parking lot was tearing up our elbows. Tiger Blood earned its namesake, at least in YHC’s case. On the fifth and final round, YHC dropped the count to 10. Mosey back to main parking lot for Mary.
Mary: Merkins x 20, Plank x 10 count, Pike Merkins x 10, Pickle Pounders x 10, Homer to Marge x 10, LBCs x 10, American Hammer x 10, right-over-left/left-over-right stretch. Have a good day!

Prayer: prayed for any unspoken
9/11 Memorial Run
/in Running 4 the John/by RedenbacherEC: Redenbacher, Skidmark
FNGs: None
Warm Up: These guys were still warmed up from all the BRR miles.
The Workout: R4TJ was open for business as an option for PAX not able to attend the 9/11 Stair climb event. Skidmark suggested a great route that incorporated a stop at the War on Terror Memorial located in Veterans Park.
“The War on Terror monument honors all civilian and military fallen heroes who died while serving in the War on Terror and in the attack on 9/11. Those military fallen heroes include U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Sam Griffith, the older brother of David Griffith. David chose to build the memorial as part of his Eagle Scout project.
The War on Terror monument is a pentagon-shaped patio of brick pavers, purchased by project supporters and symbolizing the 9/11 attack on the United States Pentagon. A granite pillar rises from the center of the patio and is inscribed with the names of local heroes who died while serving in the War on Terror. At the top of the pillar, the steel piece taken from the wreckage of the World Trade Center is in remembrance of the attack at the building on 9/11. Those who died in the third plane crash in that Pennsylvania field are represented by the serene country setting of the Veterans Park pond and woods.”
We made a stop along the route and took a moment of silence at the memorial in honor of the fallen heroes.
