Tequila Sunrise 2/28/26

/in /by

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.

Flags for Hero’s at TS

/in /by

YHC picked up the Q last minute for Tequila Sunrise. Primarily bc I need to be running more to get back in running condition. The route had us stopping mid way for a pledge to all the flags at the FVPD. We also did 22 merkins in support of mission 22. Then finished up back at Flemming playground for 20 pull-ups.

Fumunga took us out in prayer.

Nice sweaty morning running fellas!
BS out

Tequila Sunrise – Ham Returns to the Table

/in /by

0600 a car flies in on two wheels! BAM! Whodat? Ham! After catching up and quick fist pumps, we took off towards the hills of downtown Fuquay.

Judd to 401/Main Street, down past the springs and up the hill. Established the flag pole of the Two Flags over Fuquay route.

Fumunga ran circles around us doing thresholds or some kind of interval–at a blazing pace. And that was after running EC from his house. The rest of us caught up on families, work-life balance, and other stuff. Later, Ham told me what it was like to grow up in Kenya, where “EVERYBODY runs.”

In the end, we covered nearly six miles, neary 300 feet elevation gain, and drew a nice picture on Strava. Warbucks joined us for COT after rucking.

Prayers to Fumunga’s father in law, who’s having medical issues.

Extra Shots for Everyone

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: SSH, 20 merkins OYO in honor of @vasoline “they are the only merkins you’ll get all day”

The Workout: Q arrived about 30 minutes ahead of the workout to find @jellybeans, @bobby boucher and @sunshine (Tyler Mosko) and @gamecock already EC-ing. Q joined for a few trips around the park ahead of the route. A few extra tequilla shots if you will.

The ME was hot and sticky, and generally felt like a bad decision as we wandered through neighborhoods, through downtown, to the end of Academy St. and the back to the start along Judd Pkwy.

Upon arrival back, @flop and @jellybeans squeezed in a few extra steps to hit their targets. A great jog with great mumblechatter, nothing breeds comradery like shared misery.

I forgot what we did after the run, probably some prayer requests and T-Claps. All of the morning tequila gave me brain fog.

@Finkle was missed for our travels.
