Women are crazy

Pax of 5 for crazy time. Two newbies this morning brought to us by significant woman drama. Deadbolt sending two daughters off to school and LED up early with a 19 month old girl that couldn’t sleep.

Warm Up: 1st mile
The Workout: 100 pullups, 200 merkins, 300 squats, second mile

Announcements: August 29 5 yr anniversary, dads camp this weekend
Prayer: us against women

Skipping to the John

EC: Boy George and UTI grabbed 2 miles on the EC route (you may know it from Paradise City EC)

Warm Up: We went through some dynamic stretching starting with the very difficult and dreaded: WALK.  Walking away from the start of the run, we warmed the legs and made some space for some Butt Kicks, followed by Karaokes, SKIPPING!!!!, and finalized the warm-up with some lunges with a twist.  END WARM UP

The Workout: The main event was a modified and simplified running route.  There is this whole thing about not leaving the 6 behind or losing people or something…  😛

This week we turned right once we left Ting and went straight down Main/55.  We had some folks returning for the 6 and continuing on past town Hall, turning back for Ting just after the Car Wash.  A bonus Port-o-John was spotted which reassured us we were on the right route and that all was right with the world.  From here, this is where we basically be followed the return route of the Holly Springs Half Marathon the all of the way back to Ting.  There were some slight modifications near the end following a reverse of the typical Paradise City EC route.  Extra miles, extra hills, extra FUN!!!  4.7+ miles of it!!!

Announcements:  Derek Davis 5k this weekend, keep an eye out for Lipstick, 187, and the shovel flag.  A post will likely hit the Facebooks, F3 Camp is also still happening this weekend – spots still available,

Prayer: Brandon, friend of Peak Week and Roger Roger, was placed in a coma to overcome some of his injuries incurred from an accident on the water.  Chips mentioned a young boy Dawson that needed our prayers, he sustained a concussion and was under observation in the hospital.  I checked in with Chips tonight and it sounds like he is home and doing much better.

what do we call Huggies when he is old enough to drink??

Tea Time weekly Murph.

A night at the races

An intimate group of 8 converged under thunder and lightning for the weekly beatdown. As promised very little running.

Warm Up: Mosey to the rock pile to gather a rock of choice. Some heavier than others. Due to the minor probability of getting struck by lightning, the pax reconvened under the shelter. 25 SSH, 15 Cotton pickers, fozio arm circles forward and reverse, and hillbillies
The Workout: Rotated through 4 exercises all with rocks: Presses, Rows, Squats, WWII’s using a full deck of cards. 4 jokers randomly paced in the deck signified a shift around the circle to another rock.

Burpee bullring: One pax calls out another with a race to 5 Burpees. Loser runs to the flags. Pax around the outside doing SSH.

Bear crawl drag race: Partner up by ability and bear crawl drag race to the end of the pavilion. Loser does 10 merkins. Next round winner vs. winner and loser vs. loser with 15 merkins to the loser. Last 2 undefeated racers faced each other for bear crawl drag racing champion and loser doing 20 merkins. Losers bracket also paired up so each pack got three passes. Congrats to Earl Grey the bear crawl champ. Holding plank as you waited your turn.

Burpee bullring round II. Same as first but pax holding Squat

Prayer: Darby with the loss of ankle biter, Nomad loss of sister along with tofu’s family.  Grief impacts us all differently.

First AO, First run to the John, literally

AO: “Running 4 the John” We had some great ideas on the name of the AO.  Thanks to Emeril we solidified (although we can’t confirm it was a solid) the name with an early exit before COT. I never seen someone run so fast to the finish and peel out George Costanza style with his shirt off 🙂  Actually wait….there was that time at PC and a certain mathematician

 

EC: Skidmark and UTI

Warm Up: Leg and Arm stretching
The Workout: Running! 5-6 mile run depending on pace.  The route was thru Bridgewater to Veteran’s Park, Jones Park and back down Cayman to Bridgewater.  A few wrong turns but we will learn our routes over time.
