Warm Up:
Jog around park track (1/4 mile), then circle up for warm up exercises:
Side straddle hop 20xIC
Sir Fazio arm circle 10xIC forward, 10xIC backward
Good Morning 10xIC
Squat walkers 10xIC
Hillbillies 10xIC
Mountain Climbers 10xIC
The Workout:
Partner up – size doesn’t matter – for DORA. Odd number of Pax so YHC went solo – followed H1N1’s team for timing when to switch to run.
100 WWIIs
200 Merkins
300 Squats
While partner is doing exercises, other partners run 3/4 of the way around the parking lot, then bear crawl back to partner the last 1/4 (about 0.04 of a mile). I believe all PAX ran/crawled 6 times so totaled about 1/4 mile of bear crawling.
Some mumble chatter about not being able to run home while we were doing squats. Just wait, there’s more!
5 Minute Mountain Legs
After failing to complete the Barkley Fall Classic 50k again, I chatted with some friends who did finish. They suggested adding this workout at the end of long runs, so I figured I would also bring it to F3.
Round 1: For one minute, do forward lunges, alternate legs each lunge (max of 10 lunges each leg). If finished before 1:00, rest the remaining time.
Round 2: For one minute, do backward lunges, alternate legs each lunge (max of 10 lunges each leg). If finished before 1:00, rest the remaining time.
Rest 30 seconds because now it’s going to be tough
Round 3: Do backward lunges, 10 each leg, only when you come back to the standing position, don’t put your leg down. If finished before 1:00, rest the remaining time.
Round 4: On picnic tables, put left leg up on bench, right leg on the ground. Do step ups for 30 seconds, keeping left leg in place on the bench, with right leg not actually landing on the bench (just in the air, then back down to the ground). After 30 seconds, switch legs.
Here is the link to the actual workout – apparently I took it easy on you guys and we were supposed to do 15 each leg in the round 3, and 1 minute each leg of the step ups! Next time…..

Prayer:
Remembering Darth Visor and praying for his family. Let him be a reminder to us that it’s ok to say you are not ok, whether physically or mentally. If you are at a workout and something doesn’t feel right, or you are struggling with something in your everyday life, say something to someone. Take a rest if needed. It is not weakness to say you need help.
Prayers for our brothers we are missing in the gloom, dealing with sickness or recovering from injury or just being a bum!
YHC took us out, it was an honor to lead you men, great work!

10 PAX for a Half Dozen at Any Given Sunday
/in Any Given Sunday /QIC: MookiePAX: Bernie, Boy George, Brexit, Draper, Farva, Forceps, Hasselhoff, Mookie, Skidmark
Still waiting on the cooler temps and the humidity to lift, but 10 PAX got stronger this morning at Any Given Sunday. On my way onto Raleigh St. en route to Womble, Brexit and Bernie were seen getting some extra miles. Arrived early to the tennis court lot and quickly was met by additional PAX including Forceps, Skidmark, Hot Spot, Farva, Hasselhoff, and Draper, and Boy George. YHC unfortunately could not lead this morning still nursing shin splints, so Skidmark (fresh off a 1/2 Marathon yesterday at U-Turn) thankfully accepted the leadership role on this morning’s run.
Warm Up: Quick jog to both sides of the tennis court lot. On the second pass, switched to butt kickers and Frankensteins to the half way point and then alternated carioca to the end and then back to the half way point to circle up for the following:
Imperial Walkers x10, Hillbillies x10, Hacky Sacks x10 (IC). Fazio Arm Circles x10 F/B. Michael Phelps
The Workout: 6 mi Scout Run (1/2 Marathon Route- counterclockwise around the lake and exist route to Sugg Farm instead of greenway). While PAX enjoyed a humid 6 mi in the gloom, YHC stayed back in the parking lot to do some stretch\core\upper body work as follows:
Occupied a parking space- Squats x50, Bear Crawl to the other side, 25 Curb Merkins, Bear Crawl back, Squats x25, Bear Crawl to other side, 20 Curb Merkins, Bear Crawl Back, Squats x20, Bear Crawl other side. then stopped…. feeling uninspired flying solo in the lot, YHC decided that instead of sleeping in car waiting for #HIM to return as jokingly noted by Brexit after the warm-up, made a quick trek to the nearby Dunkin Donuts for some coffee and donuts to invoke a 2nd F after the run\COT.
Arrived back to the Womble lot to see the faint glow of F3 reflective gear in the distance by the baseball fields as PAX made their final push to the tennis lot. Realizing that they were a little over 0.25 miles short of 6mi upon return to tennis lot, Skidmark, Hot Spot, Hasselhoff and Draper decided to make it official and took off for another loop around the soccer fields.
Circled up for some stretching and mumblechatter.
