Welcome Over Easy to the Pax. It was the first Paradise City post HSHM. I heard no one cursing the Finish line. I’m surprised.

It was wet

November 18, 2018/in Disney /QIC: Nemo
PAX: Buford, Dawgpound, Kid Cracker, Lab Rat, Nemo, Skidmark, Warbucks

It was 38 degrees, raining, windy and just about T-48 hours to HSHM. Would anyone show? Could this make for the most desirable and legitimate fartsack of the year? YHC was followed into the parking lot around 4:59, arriving a few mins early for EC, by Warbucks, who was at the ready to to keep the EC streak alive and well. As we ran we talked about a reasonable over/under for number of PAX to post. We settled in on 6 and in typical F3 South Wake fashion, the safe bet would have been the over. We had 7 strong and the rain actually let up, only for a few minutes, for us to get in another solid workout at Disney.

Warm Up: Standard jog around the soccer fields with some puddle dodging then circled up for a quick round of standard w/u motions – SSH, Good Mornings, Fazio Arms. Did not take long as conditions were going downhill and we wanted to be moving.
The Workout: After some confusion from me as I tried to remember the very simple workout I had planned, we realized why I wanted us to be over on the playground wall (I was struggling to remember my plans to work dips into the DORA). We split up and the goal was half on the run down to the entrance and back up the hill into the headwind with other half working on 100 merkins, 200 dips, 300 LBCs. We made this more of a hybrid OYO/AMRAP and just kept moving through the work and the run. Pretty sure each did 8 runs, and pretty sure combined we all did more than our share of the work.
Mary: Ended early so we could have bonus time as Kid Cracker took us through an extended session of yoga and stretch with focus on HSHM prep. Again, in the driving rain. We huddled under the playground shelter and the actual shelter is still closed for fire repair, but it made no difference.
Announcements: HSHM, collections for Brnadon and his family
Prayer: Crablegs, those working through injuries, LabRat working to get his house sold, victims of the fires in CA. YHC took us out in prayer and we headed for high ground.

A Half Dozen for Post Half Recovery @ Any Given Sunday

November 18, 2018/in Any Given Sunday /QIC: Mookie
PAX: Cowboy, DoubleD, Forceps, Mookie, Skidmark, Slide Rule

The day after an incredible Holly Springs Half Marathon showing for F3 Southwake, 6 PAX decided to get up and begin the recovery process with a modified version of Any Given Sunday, while getting 2-3 miles with a side order of quality mumble chatter and much needed stretching. Arrived 7 minutes early and was quickly met by Double D, Skidmark, and Forceps. With a few minutes left before 6, Slide Rule and Cowboy rolled into Womble to make it an even 6 PAX for this morning.

Warm Up: Began with some lunge walks for 20 steps, then YHC wanted to get a head check to see if PAX were awake and called for high knees, which lasted for 1 high knee, and then transitioned back to lunge walks. Circled up for Imperial Walkers x12, Hillbillies x12, Air Squats x10 (IC), Fazio Arm Circles 10F/10B, Hacky Sacks x10, Plank Calve Stretches w\10 sec holds on each heel.

The Workout: Light jog on standard Cletus EC route for 2-3 miles, followed by Stretching and coffee\donut curls at Dunkin Donuts (2nd F)-where there was also a Blue Hen sighting.

HSHM Finish Line – Ramp Practice

November 14, 2018/in Running 4 the John /QIC: UTI
PAX: 187, Chips, Deadbolt, Lipstick, Nemo, Pablo, Skidmark, Slide Rule, UTI

Warm Up: Light jog to the base of the ramp, many many attempts to plant Lipstick’s shovel flag (it may be made of rubber), headed up the ramp to the HSHM starting line (carioca each side, Butt Kickers, High Knees).

The Workout: As promised a 4 mile run. Based on the rain there was an audible for running a well-lit and less slippery route so we threw out the HSHM route and went straight up Main St. We did at least start and end as the HSHM will on Saturday, running from the starting line and around behind the tennis courts then out to Main. On the return, we ran up the ramp to the finish line with the rubberized shovel flag in hand. The gazelles of our R4TJ crew had the honor of meeting the remaining PAX at the bottom of the hill and running them up the ramp to glory.

Mary: We don’t recognize Mary at R4TJ. Just not our girl.

Announcements:

HSHM is this Saturday apparently, Disney and Cletus will be HSHM friendly so come on out.
Disney will be a split Q with Kid Cracker/Nemo.
Cletus will feature a legendary local cross country coach laying down some good knowledge that you may want to have with you at HSHM.

Slack is back!? – Sliderule has simplified the site and is welcoming people back onto Slack to drive conversation, meetups, etc.
