0545 Warmup: Leg swings, Popeye’s dip move, squats per Wide Right, mosey up parking lot and back

Goal was to warm up our legs “dynamically” (moving) instead of “statically” (standing or siting stretches)

0600 Main Event: The route was simple: Counter clockwise loop; Judd to Main Street down and up through downtown Fuquay to Judd and back to the park for 5 miles – boom

Wide Right rucked while Popeye and I enjoyed a nice mosey. With one-to-one chatter, I learned a lot about Popeye’s life and faith over the last few years. You should catch up with him some time.

Day 2 2015 Throwback Week – Possum Trot

/in /by

Day 2 of 2015 Throwback week truly felt like an OG workout. YHC pulled into the lot, planted the flag, hid the speaker on the court, then walked over to the larger than normal crowd. To my surprise there were 4-5 HIM that were at my first post and some other familiar faces I haven’t seen a quite a while. After pounding and greeting each PAX, it was 0530. The F3 mission statement took place along with the 5 core principles. Fram then decided to jog up so we could get our morning share of 5 burpees. Good thing we didn’t do these back in the day when Tardy would show up 2-3 mins into every workout. Here’s what happened at the Trot.

Warm Ups
We saluted New Mexico with follow the leader quick feet and slides on the tennis courts to start off then moseyed down to the concession stand area.
– Smurf Jacks
– Imperial Squat Walkers
– Bat Wings
– Slaloms

Wall Work
PAX found a spot on the small wall for dirkens and box jumps. Started with 10 each then 9 each all the way down to 1 each.

Jacob’s Ladder (another classic by New Mexico)
PAX lined up on the hill next to the baseball field. Back peddle up the hill, 3 star jumps, run down the hill, increasing burpees for each trip down. PAX did this 7 times.
Two lines for an Indian run back up to the tennis courts.

Tennic Courts
Each IR line stayed together for Chilly Broad Jumps across all four courts. PAX lined up about 2-3 feet apart in a chill-cut plank. Guy at the end broad jumps over each PAX legs until the end then gets in line. Repeat until we got to the fence.

Bearicides – PAX bear crawled to the end of the first court, ran back, perfomed 5 hand release merkins. Repeat to the end of second, third and yes all the way down to the fourth court.

Sally – PAX performed the squats while listening to Sally song. Quite a burner.

Mary – W2CC x15 IC
– Strict sit ups
– Side plank ups L
– Side plank ups R
– Reverse LBCs
– Mtn climber twist (touch knee to opposite elbow)

COT
Announcements: Paint the fence 2nd F, F3 Picnic, Rico’s soccer kids accomplishment
Prayers: All mainly unspoken

Great turnout today for this workout. It was such a surprise to see guys I worked out with for the first 5+ years in F3 all the time. Hope to see them more soon. Thanks for letting me lead such a strong group of HIM.
SYITG…

BS Out!
