Announcements: Lot’s of things going on in South Wake, Q Swap, Breath-taker Auction, Workout Accountability tracker, Q Source- Shredder made a few nice comments around Q Source and we should all make it part of our routine to attend at least 1 a week or maybe even all 3 planned. My favorite part about what he said this morning “We are really good at the Fitness, pretty good at Fellowship, but not so good at the Faith” Let’s use this opportunity and new year to get together as brothers and discuss our faith and what we truly need help with. Fitness is our main goals but deep down we are all holding something back, that we need brother-ship and faith to help us out with.
Prayer: Doug Stein, Crablegs, Boy George Son, Double D Father, All the unspoken.

EC: Peeping Tom misunderstood the start time and got there a little early so he made lemonade, putting 2.5 miles on the board before we got started. Nice work!
Warm Up: 5x Burpees (We had some folks show up a little late) and 20x Side Straddle Hops
The Workout: We had two distance groups, one went for a 3 mile loop and the other a 6 mile loop. We stuck together for the first 1.5 miles when Oyster and Lift Kit peeled off down Bass Lake Rd. Peeping Tom and Nemo got out ahead of the 6 milers and inadvertently created a third group when they made a wrong turn. Much like the Disney movie we found Nemo (and Peeping Tom) in then end. (There is some sort of plot twist in here about Peeping Tom running off with Nemo… I’ll leave it alone… moving on!). The planned 6 mile route was made to avoid the mud at Sugg and Bass Lake but YHC couldn’t resist the opportunity to catch that sunrise that Mookie hyped-up when passing over the reigns. Fortunately, the mud was pretty tame and not much of an ordeal. Unfortunately the weather this morning was cloudy and overcast so there was no sunrise to be seen. Oh well, we went around the back entrance at Bass Lake, going down the hill and circling back to the greenway. Through the Somerset Stream neighborhood and on through Womble.
There were modifications and circling back for the 6 all along the route so we all ended up with variations between 3 and 9 miles. We had great support from Messi as he biked the 6 mile route with us. Circling back and checking in on everyone.
Mary: Is she in FiA?
Announcements: Welcome FNG Lift Kit. Oyster brought his father-in-law out for his first F3 experience. He came to us from Colorado, we let him know that F3 is a nation-wide organization and told him to checkout the website.
Prayer: Prayers out for Doug Stein who got injured at the Heartbreak/Soul Crusher challenge the other day. There is a sign-up genius out on the HSRC and “Try” club sites to support his family with meals. He underwent surgery on both legs and his wife is nearly ready to give birth to their second child. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c084dada923a13-meals1
Privilege to lead you fellas out there today. Great to see Crab Legs and all in the gloom and second F…
You’ll want to CRANK UP the link below!
Warm Up: Imperial walkers, hillbillies, good mornings. Revved up our engines with some Red Bull Smurf Jacks (SSH from squat position, 3x speed cadence x20). That will crank your tractor, or whatever you got! Mosey to greenway at Grigsby Avenue. More warmups of Fozzio? arm circles (still don’t know if its Fozie/Fozzio/Fonzie?), Moroccan night clubs, stretches.
The Workout: Two Indian run-type workout formations. 1. PAX planks up head to toe with heads uphill. Last PAX runs to front, yells “Down,” entire PAX does one Merkin, repeat until each PAX has run twice. Lots of groaning while holding plank for so long with 28 Merkins mixed in! 2. Good ol’ Guantanimos, again with each PAX running the line twice.
Headed out on the highway (Grigsby Avenue), Lookin’ for adventure. Failed attempt at 2-line Indian run. Lesson: Don’t make PAX THINK in the morning, just let them DO. Found adventure in Park Avenue subdivision–yes Park Avenue. Perfect 1/3 mile block for the Burpee mile: 3 stations of 6 burpees x 3 laps. That’s 54 burpees. Lots of different paces, of course. Thanks to Lucky, Double D, and others for picking up the 6.
Mary: Crunchy Frogs x10
Announcements: $50 for HS Half until Jan 1, when price goes up. UTurn Saturday minimum 5 miles. Hill run at Sugg organized by Boy George.

The year of the Murph is over – your weekly Murph needs can still be met through Tea Time on Monday nights.

14 months as Disney Site Q came to an end on a perfect late Dec morning with a true baker’s dozen and a strong showing of 8 on EC. It’s been an honor to be on Q and I appreciate all the #HIM who supported me, put in the work, and stepped up top lead. I look forward to guest Q’ing sites around South Wake in 2019.
Warm Up: Regular jog around fields, circle up for variety of standard exercises. On the jog to circle up again beyond the half pipe and we did a burnout of Fazio Arm Circles.
The Workout: On the jog to the lower lot we set up on the benches for sets as follows, all on the 15 IC or cadence: tempo dips, plank hold, shoulder taps, low slow flutter, SSH. Set up for Indian Run all the way to The Abyss – keeping it clean and in line, with the exception of a drop out to make a special visit to the woods. Set up in 2 groups for spacing. Stayed with the groups and at the top we did 10 squat star jumps, at the bottom 15 merkins. 5 rounds total. On the jog back to the start.
Mary: Quick 3 rounds of LBCs, Homer to Marge and Pickle Pounders
Announcements: Lots of new activity in 2019 – Post challenge, breathtaker, Q swap, 3rd F Q Source, new HS race this spring 8k and 16k
Prayer: Ausphart (who was named at Disney) in his recovery, Double D and his family, Crablegs, silent 10 count for unspoken and YHC took us out
EC: YHC woke up early and had enough time to squeeze in 2-miles on the typical EC route from Ting. This EC wasn’t scheduled, announced, or intended but it happened. Since it wasn’t advertised YHC ran alone.
Warm Up: Stretching the appropriate parts related to running for a john – Ankle Grabbers (straight down, R-over-L, L-over-R), Downward Dog, and closed it out with that yoga pose that I dont know the name of but like alot… You know the one where you start in a Downward Dog then bring your leg forward towards the same hand then kick your foot towards the opposite hand. You know… that one 🙂
The Workout: The crew assembled for their exploration of “The Gloom”, we discussed our options checking in on everyone’s goals and paces. The course was charted for a run from Ting to Womble utilizing the well marked and charted “Main Street” vector. Cowboy, as his name implies, went it alone but promised to re-join us by the end of the mission.
As we neared the government offices of this strange and cold universe one of our commanding officers, Lipstick, was drawn into this strange blue box as if by a tractor beam. The crew continued on into semi-uncharted territory for the S.S. R4TJ, passing Womble and heading towards “Bass Lake Road”. Our technical officer, Yogurt, was troubled by the disappearance of Lipstick and circled back to find him. Our mission became more dire as we seemed to be pushed downward by some additional gravitational pull on this new vector. The trek up “Bass Lake” felt as though it was up-hill with no end in site.
We found relief with a new set of coordinates back towards the better known “Main Street” but we had to push forward through “Holly Springs Road”. It was on this route that we came across our comrade Bernie on what appeared to be a solo mission. We bid him good luck as he headed into the uncharted territory that we were just about to escape. In nearly the same instant, Lipstick appeared, he had freed himself from the mysterious blue box. It must not have been a horrible event – he looked quite relieved.
Back onto “Main Street” we were nearly home. Soon enough we were back at Ting. Mission Accomplished.
Mary: Who is this “Mary” you speak of?
Announcements:
Prayer: Stay safe between now and the new year. Keep Posting!!!
Warm Up: Normal Stretching and a few Monkey Humpers
The Workout: Groups of 4 for Indian Run/Merkin repeats around Ting Park Loop. Last Person in Indian run drops down for 4 merkins and then sprints to front. Repeat around Ting Loop until Q says to end.
