I Love this Place

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I’ll admit I’m a little biased. When it comes to workouts in SouthWake this is my absolute favorite. Maybe it’s because it’s Monday morning, maybe it’s because it’s high intensity bootcamp, maybe it’s because of the smell from the dump, but more than likely it’s because of the core group of guys we get there every week, the complaining they do during workout, how they push themselves and then show up the next week and do it all over guys. Exhibit A: Dawgpound and Dumbo. Good work guys.

I promised all 3Fs and all 5 core principles would be on display so let’s take a look.
1st F – Check
2ndF – Panera Check
3rdF – We did a spotlight on the the 6th person in the circle. Asked how they go their name and what F3 meant to them. – Check

1st Core Principle (All workouts are free) – check
2nd Core Principle (Open to all men) – check
3rd Core Principle (Held outdoor rain or shine, heat or cold) – check (there is no shelter at Ting)
4th Core Principle (Member lead, in a rotating fashion, with no certification necessary) – check, the Pax picked all the exercises today
5th Core Principle (All workouts end in a COT) – check

EC: There were a bunch. Pikachu, Full House, ShamWow!, Emeril, Dawgpound, UTI, Lipstick, Pablo, Skidmark

FNGs: None
Warm Up: 1 lap mosey around the complex complete with the standard Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, SSH, Good mornings

The Workout: Split into groups of 4 randomly. Stack up suicides with 5 stops.
Exercise 1: 5 Star jumps
Exercise 2: 10 Squats
Exercise 3: 15 WWII
Exercise 4: 20 Diamond Merkins
Exercise 5: 25 Monkey Humpers
Go to stop 1 do the exercise, return to the fence. Go to stop 2, do the first 2 exercise, return to the fence. Etc. Go all the way up to doing all 5 exercises. Then unstack them.
Everytime the group returns to the fence they do 2 Peeping Lipstick (A Turkish Get-up with a star jump.).

Mary: Slight mosey to get the HR back down. Finishing with stretching.

Announcements: More 3rdF opportunities coming

T-Claps (Recognition): Dawgpound was our 6 in the count during COT. Thank you for you leadership and sharing what F3 means to you.

U-turn featured a new route this Saturday…9 PAX showed up to brave the gloom, after a short warm up, all set out on a little over 5 mile jaunt.

All easily navigated 55, then onto Ting park for a steady climb up business 55.  A right turn through downtown and a trip down Library Hill was a welcome change.  A little route shake up every now and then is a good thing, all PAX enjoyed the change.  Mary consisted of some light stretching and then 2ndF.

“The race is the celebration of all the hard work and training.” I can’t remember where I heard this quote but I thought it most appropriate for this week.

Was that a snake…nope that was flatulence

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

**I would like to open up this BB by apologizing to @Full House and explaining the above title…please forgive me Full House!!!  About 3-miles into our 6-mile workout I was running with Alpine and my stomach was giving me some awful pain.  I told Alpine my stomach was jacked and to keep going and I would catch up.  I stopped dead in my tracks and ripped one for what felt like 10-seconds.  Well it wasn’t until the end of the workout that Full House mentioned that he was trailing us during the run and thought I had stopped to look at a snake or something.  As soon as he ran through the exact spot where I had unleashed my stomach pains, he took the brunt of the aftermath.  I cannot not apologize enough @Full House and I can’t believe I’m mentioning this in a BB that will forever be posted.  I will be hanging my head in shame every time I see you for quite some time my man.

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.

Prayer: Guys stay healthy through BRR and marathon training

Schweddy U-turn – Lipstick’s soul mate spotted

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , ,

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.
