YHC found out yesterday that they cancelled the Race for the Cure 5k in Charlotte yesterday afternoon due to the weather. There was talk of running our own 5k in honor so what else were we to do?

We gathered a little before 7 and talked about how wonderful the weather was! I mean it’s not every day one gets to challenge themselves in a steady 50° rain!

The PAX grew slowly with the majority making there way to the parking lot in the moments before 7am. YHC gave the PAX a warning, if you needed a quick warm up or stretch to start now because at 0700 we were off on a trot. There was this crazy kid that was talked into making his first post this morning by Rip. Dude can’t be right in the head cause he actually POSTED!! Welcome Joaquin!!

At 0700 we took off for a quick mile jog over to the parking lot at Winthrop coliseum. YHC had dropped off several cinder blocks, a couple of kettle bells, slosh pipe, and a pair of dumbbells.

The PAX spread out the coupons with each taking a station.

We had monkey humpers, burpees, air chairs w/ a 20lb kettle bell (truck drivers), slosh pipe squats, right arm rows, dumbbell curls, left arm row, kettle bell swings, dips between blocks, floor press w/ block, overhead press, tri ext, squats with a block and a run with the sand bag.

The PAX rotated thru the stations as the man with the sand bag made it back to the group. We almost made it through 2 rounds before having to take off back to the COT cause ya see … we had to get a 5k in there too!

So we took off for the 2 mile return trip with a couple of stops to keep the PAX together and to keep the guys at the front of the pack humble. We had some burpees, some plank jacks, a minute or two of various plank positions, some LBC’s and some CDD’s on the way back.

We arrived at COT with a few minutes to spare so there was dealers choice ab lab to finish us off!

I challenged all the PAX to push themselves as hard as the ladies have fought against breast cancer and I’m proud to say that I don’t think anyone left much in the tank!

Great work this morning gentlemen! I am honored to lead and continually impressed to your commitment to help each and everyone of us improve!

Catfish …. OUT!
