Who doesn’t post a route?

/in /by

FNG: FRAM (only to a Running AO)

W-up: GM, hamstring stretch, sumo squat (mission and CP),  plank achilles stretch,

Lots of initial mumble chatter on who doesn’t post a route that’s gonna queue a running AO? YHC Confirmed he had a route, but wasn’t gonna share to keep everybody on their toes. 5 burpee penalty enforced for Lipstick being late. Technically, we probably should’ve done 10 because slash was with him. But he couldn’t help that his dad was pooping.

The Thang:

Set timer for 22 minutes. We ran in until the timer, ran out each Pax picked one exercise of 10 reps to include:  LBC, lunges, Merkins, squats, can’t remember 2 of them, and Burpees.
then we ran the route in reverse on the way home. 5+ mi for all.

Announcements:  Q’em all challenge sign up!

T claps: Fram for getting out of his comfort zone.

Prayers: None everybody’s An angel (liars!)

Ting Circles

PAX of 9 today at Running For The John aka R4TJ. We had a 10th HC but something kept him sidelined. YHC wanted to try some new today. We partnered up and YHC passed out a baton for each team.

We did a loop all together to warm up. Once we got back to the start, baton runner was to take off and run at a fast pace until they caught up to the partner that was to mosey until caught. YHC and Sardine got two loops in until we started getting close to our partner. Once you had off the baton, you stop and do 10 merkins and 10 air squats. YHC quickly changed the strategy bc this one wasn’t going to work. It took over a mile to catch up. So the new plan was the baton runner ran one full fast paced lap, then reversed direction back to partner then switch. Still incorporating the exercises. Most PAX got to switch 3 times each. Final lap, we all came together as a group to cool down. We got in close to 5 miles in a little over 40 mins. Then we did some stretching of the legs.

COT for announcements and prayers. YHC counted the 6th PAX to tell how they got their F3 name, how long they’ve been doing F3 and what F3 has done for them. Bleeder was the lucky candidate. YHC took us out in prayer.

Thanks for dealing with the shenanigans this morning. The stimulus was definitely met. Until next time….

  • Run a victory lap around the field.

YHC arrived early to set up a challenging agility course under the lights at Ting. But we had a couple things to do first. 8 total PAX we’re ready at 0530. A disclaimer that we may not get the 3 mile minimum. Did we make it? Read to find out.

Warm up lap around Ting
Exercises in corners
Good mornings x10 IC
Windmills x10 IC
Air squared x10 IC
Frankensteins x10 IC

7’s on the ramp
Star jumps and monkey humpers IC

Field work on turf
Agility course
Ladder work with slides, back peddles, cuts, and sprint to finish
Exercises after each run through on both sides: merkins, squats, WWI’s

Belly sprints 100 yds – 50, 75, 90, 100%
Cool down lap around the turf field to check on the UFO men.

At this point my watch showed 2.8 so we took one mosey pass through the agility course to the other side of the field to get our 3+ miles.

Mary
American Hammers
In and Outs
Windshield Wipers

That concluded our workout.
All announcements are on slack.
Prayers for YHC daughter with broken wrist and unspoken ones.
