This was my first time at Needmore Park. The routes were great and we had some quality mumble chatter along the way.

EC:  A lot of PAX were there for EC.

FNGs: not today

Warm Up:    10 x Good Mornings, 10 x Spinal Rotations

The Workout:  We ran the Yellow route for EC so I suggested we take the yellow route in reverse. After some discussion to coordinate the coffee stop, we decided to take the blue route and then the yellow route. We made a pit stop at Breach’s house for coffee and then headed bag to the flag.

Mary: Short on Time

OG U-turn returns

25 PAX got a taste of the old school route this morning. We had a bunch of ECers run over from Jones Park as well. Lot of good chatter on this brisk morning. Nice work picking up the six. The 3 mile group did some yoga after their run. Pikachu called in sick so YHC stepped up for some May points. Nice work all around.

We ended with prayer as always.

Thanks for allowing me to lead.

Bullfrogs and puddles at Paradise City

It had been a while, ok over a year, since I made my way out to the place we call Paradise City and it was great to get back. The rain came down hard prior to the EC activities, but stayed fairly dry for us.  When I rolled in for EC a few trucks in the lot and Fram was there ready to get after some EC with me.  We set off and passed POTS and Sprinkler getting their ruck on.

Some old and new faces joined us for the main event.

FNGs: none
Warm Up:

With eight of us ready to roll we set off for a quick warm-up lap around the parking lot and circled up for warm-up.

  • 20 SSH IC
  • 10 good mornings IC
  • 10 squat hold Moroccan nightclubs IC
  • 10 windmills IC
  • 10 forward fazio arm circles and 10 reverse fazio arm cirles IC
  • merkin clock – 3 o’clock merkins, 6 o’clock merkins, 9 o’clock merkins, 12 o’clock merkins

It was now time to set off for some wet rocks.

The Workout:

The PAX started off for the tunnel, but first needed to partner up and collect one rock per partner.  As the PAX met back in the tunnel, one partner remained for 20 count of balls to the wall, 20 count people’s chair, and back to 20 count balls to the wall.  The other partners ran with rock in stow to end of the path and back.  Rinse and repeat with the other partner.  Round two the rocks stayed and one partner did repeat 10 count curls and 10 count tricep extension continuing until partners are back from their run. rinse and repeat.

The rocks were returned and an indian run was formed heading back towards the Ting ramp.

It only seemed appropriate given the gloomy, wet conditions to bring out the fan favorite bull frog – wheelbarrow combo.  One partner would bull frog (similar to the  wheelbarrow except both hands spring forward at the same time – hence bullfrog) as far up the ramp as they could.  The other partner would then give it a go.  Next, wheelbarrow, repeat, back to bullfrog, until the partners reached the top of the ramp – no easy task!

At the top of the ramp, a quick burnout on the wall.  20 count of dips, urkins, derkins, and step ups. Followed by 10 and finally 5.

All PAX returned to the bottom of the ramp for the grand finale.  the PAX dropped down to plank hold for 10 count, down to chill cut 10 count, back to plank.  When I instructed to sprint, the PAX took off for a designated spot(trash can) about 1/3 of the way up the ramp.  Back down for rinse and repeat for next spring
Mary:

  •  six inch leg hold, move to 33, move to 45, move to 90, back down to six.
  • AH’s IC
  • Shoulder taps
  • AMC
  • LBC’s

Announcements:

Get them points. Good chatter on what sites the PAX are traveling this week.
T-Claps (Recognition):

Great work everyone, it was an easy day to bag it with the heavy rain this morning, but this group came out ready to go.  It is always good to be able to lead the group.
Prayer:

Prayers were lifted for Leattner who has some tests coming back and Sprinkler’s daughter’s roommate and her friends were in a very bad boat accident in Wrightsville.

Senior moment…

FNGs: None
Warm Up: None, already warm from the EC or Ruck EC’ers
The Workout: Sprinkler led the rucking crew out for over 3 miles.  YHC took the remainder of the PAX on a mosey down to the Lake and up Bass Lake Rd.  Lots of complaining this morning on the route…Maybelline was particularly salty that YHC didn’t venture too far off from the normal AGS route, however, YHC hadn’t been at AGS all year, so it was new to him :).  Great work by all today, picking up the six and general banter and mumble chatter.  YHC closed with the count and announcements, moving to prayer, he was reminded by Pikachu that he had yet to do name o’rama…we all forget sometimes, right?  Closed with prayer requests and then pledge of allegiance.  YHC was informed by POTS that May is Military Appreciation Month, so I recommend all Q’s to say the pledge post COT to close as a great reminder of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation everyday.
Announcements: Sleep in Heavenly Peace opportunity to serve
T-Claps (Recognition): Bobby Boucher for hard work and determination!

Crop-duster aka the Toot-n-Scoot

FNGs: None

EC: Norm, Red, Sprinkler, Katniss, POTS, Gamecock

Warm Up: Good mornings, Willie mays haze, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, SSH, Sir Fazio arm circles

The Workout:

Part 1: Wheel of Misfortune.

Circle up with one PAX in the middle. The PAX on the outside are assigned an AMRAP exercise, and the PAX in the middle acts as the timer and does 10 burpees. Once he’s done, rotate to the next station with the top of the circle coming into the center for his turn at burpees. We made three rotations. Outside exercises were: Sumo squats, Shoulder taps, High knees, Angle grinder, Daft Punk (Around the world lunges), and Crab Cakes.

Part 2: Next Man Up, Crop-duster style

One PAX calls a terrible exercise for the rest of the group then heads off. PAX that called the exercise then “bones the fish” side-shuffling along the parking space lines moving up the parking lot then mosey back.  Rotate and the next man up calls an exercise then leaves. There was revenge, cruelty, anticipation, and way too many burpees.

Mary: There was enough Mary in Part 2.

Announcements: FV 4 mi and bible study black ops on Wednesday, Tequila Sunrise on Saturday

T-Claps (Recognition): All the visitors to KG!

The Workout:

Moseyed to the Bus Drop off. We split up into pairs and then a pair took one of the three islands.

Run in opposite directions around the island. When you met your partner do 7s counting down of Broke Back Shoulder Tap Merkins. Every time you meet you decreased the number. We went down to 1. Once that was wrapped up we did laps around the island. Partner A did bear crawls and Partner B did Lunge walks. When Partner A needed a break Partner B took over the bear crawls and Partner A did lunges. After one lap we switched to Gorilla Walks and Lunges.

Mosey to the wall for mobile balls to the wall. The pax waiting held their Squat Hold. As pax held balls to the wall and moved down the length of the wall.

Moseyed to the playground and split up in three groups. One group went with Emeril to the hill. One group with Flanigan to the play ground and the last group with me to the wall. The hill group was the timer. 5 trips up the hill running backwards. The folks against the wall held squat while lifting up one leg and switching. The playground group did pull ups. Once the 5 trips where completed group one went to the wall. Group 2 to the hill and group 3 to the playground. Repeat until all groups ran the hill.

Then we made our way up the stairs. We then found our original partners and wheelbarrow to the flag pole/stop sign.

Workout: Split into 2 groups and Indian Run to Parking Garage and completed a lap around lower level. Split Group 1 & 2 on each side of parking spots. Each PAX was instructed to get on a white line. Started with 1 Merkin on white line and slide over to next space for 2, back to the left for 1, then back right for 3 until we reached 5.

Next was a bad idea Bearcrawl Burpee Indian Run. The Pax in rear had to pass everyone until they got to the front where they completed a Burpee. We did this until we ran out of real estate in parking lot.

Stayed in 2 groups, Group 1 ran the stairs to the top for 5 burpees while group 2 was doing AMRAP big boy sit ups. Repeated 3 times except changed top floor to Merkins and bottom floor to squats.

Then we got out of the stifling parking garage and went to the top floor.  Guantanamo’s 2 rounds and then we split up in groups again. Opposite ends of parking garage PAX was instructed to 30 IC Crab Jacks while the other PAX 30 IC Lunges. Moseyed and swapped ends. Repeated except not IC. Ikachu
