Craigslist Hook Ups

/in /by

Monday accountability is tough. Week 2 for Downtown Train and looking forward to continuing to learn more about the site.

2 for EC as Deadbolt joined YHC and took off at 0505 for a 2+ mile out and back to the pole at 55, with Cemetery Hill providing the early challenge, and evidence of some sidewalk flooding of measurable depth and flow (Deadbolt might need to install a FIMAN gage in the area until they are done with construction).

Warm Up: On the jog for what will be the regular w/u route, circle up back at the start for a run through of the classics followed by extra time to stretch the arms.
The Workout: On the jog around the traffic circle and to the rocks. Selected a rock of good size for a high intensity, high rep workout.  John Cusack over to the back side of the library lot. Settled in and there was somewhat of a routine. 4 rounds. Each round we did 4 sets. Between each set we did a 10 count to recover. Between each round we went on the jog across the lot, squat hold for the six and a 10 count, followed by SSH ICx30, 40 then 50 (anyone detecting a trend – I like keeping the PAX moving with the SSH).  The rounds were as follows:

  1. curl 21s – a 7-7-7 IC set of curl motions with no rest between the 7s
  2. tricep overheads and tempo dips both ICx10
  3. ground pounders and push outs both ICx10
  4. weighted tempo squats ICx10 and squat to star jumps 10 count

Somewhere in the middle of these sets we had a traffic issue as a slow moving vehicle passed through as if they were dropping off books in the off hour drop slot.  Kept moving and soon we saw a black durango roll through.  The 2 vehicles seemed to each make a couple laps around and we thought they were sad clowns thinking about joining us.  They never connected but sure looked like they were looking for each other.  Who would have thought the downtown library was an early morning meet up for craigslist hook ups?

Return the rocks and on the jog to start

Mary: Plank-o-rama and we stayed in a plank all the way around – you don’t need to be on your six to be a real man when you are doing Mary.
Announcements: Great time to look at Q signup sheet and get in the mix.
Prayer: Moby’s dad and family, UTI’s dog, Shredder on the mend, and unspoken, Yogurt took us out

Another strong showing in the books for the new AO.

Wet morning, will they come?

All Aboard!

/in /by

There’s something special about being out there for the launch of a new AO. Was an honor to open Downtown Train this morning. This new AO offers start time with EC 0505 and hard start 0530.  Central location, and looking forward to the day the parking deck is open for business (and when I say business, I mean a whole new dimension of South Wake boot camp style beatdowns).

Downtown Train disclaimers:

  1. The areas we will use include houses, and we must always be aware of our cadence and mumble chatter as to not become a nuisance to any of our neighbors.
  2. The area is pretty packed with roads and buildings.  This introduces a safety risk and we must never be complacent as we work our way on, across, up, down and around these roads.  There are more people out driving at this time than we might think.  We must look out for them and each other.

First official HC was Peeping Tom.

First official excuse lexicon/fartsack was Deadbolt with a 4:29am slack post “both feet hurt this morning” – all good, nice to get that 1st fartsack out of the way early. Mondays are tough sometimes.

1 on hand for EC as YHC introduced a route that takes us up Cemetery Hill, out on Holly Springs Rd, down to 55, around the pole and back.  2.15 miles, really good hill early on. Lots of excitement as I returned to the lot to see a solid TURNOUT at the ready to put in some work. Dauber showed off his selfie skills to get the whole group in the shot.

11 #HIM were on hand and at the ready as we gathered in the public lot, now to be known as the “start lot” and got ready for the launch.  “All Aboard!”

Warm Up: On the jog to warm up we headed up Ballentine, across Main, left on Raleigh, left on Center, left on Avent Ferry and circled up in the main municipal lot.  Did a warmup set that included SSHs, Fazio Arms ICx10 F and R, Mt. Climbers, Goof Balls (a Nemo classic), Arm Stretches

The Workout: On the jog towards Library Hill with a stop along the way for some happy feet both directions followed by some little box jumps on the curb. On the jog down Library Hill and circle up in the lot at the pool. Jack Webbs 1:3 to 10:30 and we set up on the grass next to the filter room. A few thought the grass was pissed stained and that was the smell, but the stains were from the chemicals and the smells were from a more immediate source. Either way, we knocked ’em out. No fire ants to deal with so that was a plus. Recovered on the jog back up Library Hill (BS, that ain’t no recovery jog). Mosey to the south side Library lot for a set of Plank Indian Run with Bear Crawl from the back. When you reach the front you call a plank exercise and next man is on the bear crawl. Mosey to side Library lot for a set of classic build a bears. 6 times around your spot stopping at each corner for 2 merkins. Need to add that we did some filler sets of SSH ICx30, 40 then 50. On the jog back to start lot.

Mary: Solid set of plank-o-rama

Announcements: Check the slackbooks, upcoming 2.0 workout

Prayer: Several items of prayer and praise and YHC took us out
