PAX: 187, Blue Hen, Chips, Cowboy, Crab Legs, Dumbo, Moby, Salsa, Straight Cash, UTI

^^^ Nick Offerman, the morning after his bourbon by the fire. R4TJ brought it!

Warm Up: 22 degrees outside let’s get warm – Side Straddle Hops, Daisy Pickers, Stretching – Enough standing still… let’s move!

The Workout: Since Crossway was last week and its so dark out we opted for a run down Main. The route stretched into Womble where we took the big loop and came back to Ting. We each came in between 3.1 and 5.5 miles.

Mary: Enough about Mary! We get it, there is just something about Mary…

Announcements: The title of this post is a joke but in all seriousness we had a fall this morning. I believe they are OK but remember to wear your lights (I didnt this morning) and watch your footing. This case was kind of a freak accident (they were wearing their light) but we are approaching the colder months and ice is gonna get real. You can’t always see ice, leaves are down, etc. Be careful!

Prayer: Quiet group this morning, lots of shivering, not much else.

1 Year on the Q

November 9, 2018/in Disney /QIC: Nemo
PAX: 187, Blue Hen, Brony, DoubleD, Kid Cracker, Moby, Nemo, Peak Week, The Natural

It has been 1 full year for me on the Q at Disney, and no regrets. One thing I really appreciate about F3 is every time you head out to post, no matter what AO, what day, you never know what you will find. Every workout is unique based on the group that shows up that day. Today was great. I showed up to keep the EC streak alive and like clockwork 187 was at the ready. He and I had a great run, nice pace, great conversation. A small group had gathered and then was treated to a 12 Oaks clown car. I announced the official fartsack as the one (actually was HC+EC) contact me 4:39am to let me know his mind was telling him yes, but his body was saying no – needed a day to rest the legs.

Warm Up: Off we went for a rather fast lap of the soccer fields then circle up for some warm up exercises and stretches.
The Workout: On the short jog down the lot we stopped at some posts and lined up for 3 sets of assisted deep squats and merkins. On the jog to the lower lot we hit the bench for 3 sets of the following no recovery between exercises) tempo dips ICx5, 10 count plank hold, shoulder taps ICx15, mt. climbers ICx15, LBCs ICx20 and SSH ICx15. Recovered between sets with jog around lot. Some dude rolled up in a pickup and stared us down for a full set only to find out he parks up on the pad and was just patiently waiting for us to clear out. Went back on the jog to the start and threw down 3 sets of BTTW alternating with fast squat jumps.
Mary: Plank-o
Announcements: HSHM coming up, normal U Turn this Sat
Prayer: 187’s sister, victims of the LA shooting, F3 guys dealing with injuries. YHC took us out.

Dumpster Fire – For Real

October 19, 2018/in Disney /QIC: Nemo
PAX: 187, Brony, Buford, Darby, Dawgpound, Lab Rat, Moby, Nemo, OCR, Ramsey, Trickle, Warbucks

I rolled up on Disney with great weather, feeling ready for some EC and a well-planned beatdown. As I turned into the lot I spotted Warbucks and 187 curiously looking toward the side of the shelter. Then I noticed the fire. Warbucks had already called 911 and sirens in the distance was proof positive of the quick response. Looks like maybe the fire was started in the garbage cans as both had been reduced to piles of ash. Side of the shelter was burning up and putting off some serious heat. It was really disappointing to see this and to think someone thought it was a good idea. We all probably did some dumb stuff when we were younger but let’s use this as a reminder of the importance of the role we as F3 #HIM are playing in the community, with our families, friends, neighbors and coworkers. Community leadership and setting a positive example are key to our strength.

EC streak alive and well thanks to Nemo, Warbucks and 187 getting out on a quick mile.

Warm Up: Short jog and circle up near the parking lot entrance in case anyone was looking for us and for usual set of w/u exercises and stretches.
The Workout: On the jog to the baseball lot where we set up on the curb for a set of stationary happy feet ICx10, down for Mt. Climbers ICx10, Shoulder Taps ICx10, recover on the SSH ICx20 – wash, rinse repeat 3x. On the jog to the big lot where we lined up for some Big Box Build a Bear – start with 5 merkins, bear crawl along the line the length of 2 spaces, side crawl the width of 2 spaces, crawl bear the length of 2 space back, 5 more merkins. Recover on the walk to start space, wash, rinse repeat 3x. On the jog to the small lot and partner up for 1 full lap on the wheel barrow. Switch as needed and keep it moving around the lot. Great effort by all.
Mary: Quick set of usual exercises
Announcements: Good luck to those running Tuna, to those doing CSAUP, let’s rally support for Darby and Run Ranger this Feb, Shirt order for HSHM, never miss a Friday with lots of options to post
Prayer: Partners, family and friends of fallen State Highway Patrolman, CGHS community and the Shook family, YHC took us out in prayer

Thanks for sticking with the modify on the fly this morning

There’s no John like home…

October 10, 2018/in Running 4 the John /QIC: UTI
PAX: Blue Hen, Chips, Dawgpound, Dusty, Emeril, Moby, Pablo, Peak Week, Peeping Tom, Shredder, UTI

Warm Up: Fozio arm circles (Dog Pound’s unexpected choice) 10 forward / 10 back, high knees, Good Mornings (Dog Pound’s expected choice), Side Straddle Hops

The Workout: SURPRISE!!! We ran!!! Unsurprisingly we continued our study of the 5ish miles of hills provided by Crossway. Shredder enlightened us that we would be running fairly close to his house. I asked if he had a full coffee pot he might like to share. He chuckled and reminded us all that he had a John we could utilize if necessary. Good looking out Shredder, there are really only the Johns that nature intended on Crossway – I’m sure Salsa may have utilized those facilities. Its just the same since Lipstick opted to stay close to his home and with his own John this morning (Q!). Just like the aptly named Skidmark who also decided to stay close to his personal John during our Crossway session in the gloom (Skid had texted the day before to vote for a little Crossway action – I’d call that an HC). Tsk Tsk Fartsackers 😛

All in good fun gentleman – see you out there next week!

Mary: Sorry Mary… We’re pooped

Announcements:

Shredder has APE Defense course on the 14th, it’s on the Facebooks and donations go to a good cause – https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/20f0d4ea5ae2da4fc1-apedefense

Prayer:

Casen Whitebread – Keep this HSHS student and cross country runner in your prayers as she battles cancer. Shredder’s event will benefit her cause.

Dog Pound’s mother-in-law has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. His wife is trying to get up to PA to support her. Keep them in your thoughts.
