New site Q’s took over this morning and hopefully they weren’t going to disappoint. 2 FNG’s this morning. Welcome BĂ©la and Wide Right. Disclaimer given we got to work. M4L was on time and held true to his commit from yesterday.

EC streak credit to Nemo, 187, Warbucks, Lipstick, Dumbo

Welcome FNG (or as he said, PNG) Fancy Feast.  Another Woodcreeker in the mix – we might need multiple clown cars one of these morning.  We are glad to welcome you!

Warm Up: Jogged around the starting lot and circled up on the other side of the half pipe.  SSH, Fazio Arm Circles, Moroccan Night Clubs, Good Mornings.  Jogged over to next lot for SSH and arm stretches.  YHC was so tired from a really long day and late night that one count somehow only went to 9, but we kept moving.
The Workout:  On the jog to the big lot where we lined up and set a target about halfway across the lot.  On my go, sprint to the other side.  Drop to plank hold for the 6, then merkins x10 on my down, followed by a set of LBCs then  everyone’s favorite, turned over for back planks.  On my go, up and sprint back to start, plank for 6, merkins x8, back plank and repeat.  Went down to 4 and back up to 10.  8 sprints.  Recover on the jog back to start lot, lined up bottom of hill.  Bear crawl up, plank hold for the 6, then merkins x10 and crawl bear back down.  8 merkins at bottom, back up for 6.  You get the point. “Broken” Jack Webs on a 1:3 up to 10:30 merkins:air press. Sprints between sets for 6 more sprints.  Jog to midfield and back to slow things down then circled up for Mary.
Mary: Quick set with some Homer to Marge, Low Slow Flutters, Pickle #ers.
Announcements: Breach still looking to fill 2 spots on Tuna Run team
Prayer: Crablegs, neighbors down east recovering from Florence, with praise for all the work F3 has been doing.  YHC took us out in prayer

Singing in the John

/in /by

Warm Up: Butt Kickers, Skipping, High Knees, Carioca

The Workout: The now typical 4.7 mile route was taken

Turning right once we left Ting and went straight down Main/55.  We had some folks returning for the 6 and continuing on past town Hall, turning back for Ting just with a left after the Car Wash.  The bonus Port-o-John seemed to be alive with music.  We soon realized it was just Lipstick taking his post in one of the many Johns on the route.  Dude likes to sing, so naturally…  shaking that off, we followed the return route of the Holly Springs Half Marathon all of the way back to Ting.  There were some slight modifications near the end following a reverse of the typical Paradise City EC route.  Extra miles, extra hills, extra FUN!!!  4.7+ miles of it!!!

Mary:  We just ran 4.7+ miles…  on to COT

Announcements: Quiet crew this morning on the announcement front.

Prayer: Lipsticks brothers Mother-in-law has stopped treatment for her cancer.  The prognosis is days and he has asked for prayers for her and her family in these final days.

In the Wake of Flo Jo

/in /by

Pax of 24 posted in the Wake of Hurricane Florence (Flo Jo)

Wake of Flo Jo

Lipstick and Yogurt Q’d the main event, filling for regular Q’s Emeril and Chips.

EC: Lipstick, Deadbolt, 187, Roger Roger, Chips, Warbucks, Skidmark, Crosby, and Pablo.

Warm Up: Lipstick led warmups with good mornings x15, side straddle hops x25, dips x15, and mountain climbers—with runs in between.

The Workout: With the Pax warmed up for “running,” Lipstick introduced “Bear Crawl suicides” at the ramp. After partnering up, first partner sprinted in a bear crawl to the third light pole and ran on hind legs back down, while second partner did Merkins. Then the pair switched. Lipstick had the Pax rinse and repeat for at least another two sets of light poles, mixing in squats instead of Merkins at the bottom. Lipstick ended the first half of the workout with a Pax sprint to the top of the ramp.

Yogurt kicked off the second half with dips on the short wall. Some of the 24 Pax kindly adjusted because space was tight. Then, quickly back down the ramp for 21 genuine sit ups, with partner holding feet. Switch. Sprint back to the top like Flo Jo. Yogurt attempted to keep the Pax in cadence with patty-cake Merkins, with limited success. Certainly each pair did at least 20! Back down the ramp. Partner carry half way up, switch. 10 count rest at top.

Mosey to the back straightaway in the park. Shoulder taps x25. Short run down the hill. Crawl bear about 50 feet. Run the long way back to COT area.

Mary: Tight Mary with 21 LBCs

Announcements: HS Police 10k Run on Saturday 9/22. CarPex CSAUP 10/20

Prayers: Brickhouse seeking job, everyone affected by Hurricane Florence, especially Dead Bolt’s family friends who are facing rising waters today. Special thanks to Chips for “volunteering” to lead the COT prayer. Always does good work there.
