Today we Run…Maybe?

/in , /by

YHC had grand plans for a tour of the Downtown Holly Springs area, including 7’s on Cemetery Hill. But Pax with some nagging injuries/cramping forced some modification. I think everyone got their money’s worth though.

EC: Coal Ash

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Standard lap, 5 burpees OYO

The Workout: YHC limited warm-up in an attempt to get through everything that was planned for the morning, which was a tour of Downtown. After quick warm-up we were off. While heading to our first stop, a truck comes pulling into the parking lot. Our good pal Nemo decided to join us. First stop was the library. Pax honored Nemo’s tardiness with 5 burpees and then headed off to the next stop, the pool. Circled up at the pool for jack webs (1:3 x 7). Moved through exercise quickly and told Pax next stop, the Cemetery. We head up Library Hill and we start to slow down a little. Had one Pax struggling with cramps, the other with a sore calf. Releasing we weren’t going to get through the workout as planned, YHC decided to modify to a location a little closer, the parking garage.

At this point we lost Moped due to cramping, but we carried on. In the parking garage we did the following exercies:

Wall Sit (20 count each Pax)

Suicide ladder length of garage (merkins 5, 10, 15)

50 Mountain Climbers

Bear crawl 5 parking spaces and back

50 LBS in cadence

50 SSHs in cadence

Suicide ladder length of garage (WWIIs 5, 10, 15)

50 Mountain Climbers

Bear crawl 10 parking spaces and back

50 LBS in cadence

50 SSHs in cadence

Wall Sit (20 count each Pax)

Mary: 15 burpess OYO

Announcements: Early advertising for 10-year anniversary of F3
T-Claps (Recognition): All Pax for going with the flow and modifying for the group
Prayer: YHCs grandmother, Fanny Pack’s daughter, Mr Terrific job search, friend of Quiver

Boulders, Breakfasts, and Banana Seats

/in , /by

After running the “old school” U-Turn loop this am, YHC decided to take the Q at Ground Pounder with a real focus on “muscle moves” and rep counts.  11 pax showed up for a lot of rock work and an impromptu photo shoot by Banana Seat.  When asked if he was joining the workout, he responded he was only a spectator this morning, and this guy just stood there eating his breakfast….but got some great photos of the workout.  There’s gotta be a name for this type of behavior in the lexicon. Either way, we all did 5 burpees in honor of our breakfast eating photographer/spectator’s arrival and departure in his “sweet” new ride.

EC: Nemo and Coal Ash

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: SSH, Sir Fazios F/R, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Frankenstein’s, Windmills, Good Mornings.

Then Shoulder Press/Rut Rows.  Each combo was followed by a break where we did 20,15,10 reps of chest presses and an ab exercise with rock. Finished this portion of the workout w/ 20 count IC of Bus Drivers. Every driver drives in his own way!!!

Bear Crawl across lot with 10 merkins, return trip with lunge walk followed by 10 squats. Repeato with two rounds of “penalty exercises” for pax doing rock exchanges during the workout.
