Post BRR good ideas

(Courtesy of DH, thanks buddy!!)

10 came to Sweep the Leg to celebrate the one day of the year that I get to run near the front of the pack… the Monday after BRR. It was a veritable party…

Q: @UGRNYPPUM

Pax: @UGRNYPPUM @UMB4FRCMA @U08GGTLHL @U5Y5JA02G @U5DLC6D7X @UGU3XR5RP @U5CF2DMKK @U5DKASDQU @U5CVD8D7V @U01NGHPR2HW (and Olaf's nutsniffer)

Heartbreakers: None

The Thang: Warm-o-Rama, run to the bank for 20 merkins/20 flutters (2-count), then run down Dave Gibson to the parking lot at the end of the schools and another 20/20. Mosey to the Colosseum flag lot repeat 20/20. Run the middle school car rider loop then 20/20, but I think it was here we switched to CDDs and American Hammers. Back to the lot at the bottom of the hill repeat the 20/20. Back up to the bank and 20/20. Head to the flag and, yes you guessed, 20/20. Small loop around the lot then 20/20, then a big loop around Earth Fare and out to 160 and back for a 20/20. At that point, we were released on our own recognizance to either cross the 3-mile threshold or to sit and stretch the last 5 minutes.

Moleskine: Despite running the most miles on his team over the weekend, @U5DLC6D7X still managed to push the pace. And @UGU3XR5RP wasn't far behind…
During one set of merkins or other, Olaf's dog came for a snuggle and I was sure it was Band Camp, so you can imagine how awkward it was when I went in for a kiss…
Some good BRR war stories were told and some woes about it not being Fall yet were expressed.
Gekko committed to running the Scream under the tenuous premise that it involves some sort of Band Camp dunk tank at the end. There's no way to really know.

COT: Prayers to remain present in every moment, health concerns, and ability to have wisdom with our kids and others.
Shady could use help moving in his in-laws on Oct 3 after WEP. They're moving into Lancaster area. Pronounced Lancaster. Not Lancaster. Don't forget. It's Lancaster.

Most of this happened. Sort of. Subject to verification by @UGYTLSLB0.

Never Forget

Leave a comment

Driving to the AO this morning, I saw @U014K6EAUFM running done 160 carrying a shovel flag to #C0A6CS739NW . Great reminder for the community to never forget 9/11. If you have ever carried a shovel flag for an extended period of time, you know this was not an easy task.
The workout began with the typical warmup exercises then a quick mosey to the far parking lot. We partnered up and began a AB Dora 100 V-ups, 200 flutters, and 300 LBCs.
Next, we did a few versions of the cocaine bear, merkins and CCDs. A version with lunges and squats.
I few minutes left to mosey back to COT and a few more Ab exercises

You use your whole body so workout your whole body

WARMUP: SSH, cherry pickers, greatest stretch ever, down dog, honey mooners, mosey to big parking lot above old Pike building

THE THANG: 4 corners each corner focused on a different muscle group and had various exercises. 25 reps each and did it for 5 laps. You would do the first set of exercises on lap 1 then move on to the second set on lap 2 etc…

Corner 1 (with Cindy or bumper plates)
Curls
Push press
Over head squats
Bent over rows
Floor bench

Corner 2
Merkins
Wide arm merkins
Diamond merkins
Carolina dry docks
Plank jacks

Corner 3
Squats
Jumps squats
Sumo squats
Calf raises on curb
Lunges

Corner 4
Big boys
LBC
Mountian climbers
Flutters
American hammers

After that we partnered up and did a bear crawl really race across the parking lot. Partner 1 started bear crawl while partner 2 ran from one end to the other. Where ever they met on the run back they switched until as a team they made it across the parking lot. All that lost had a 2 burpee punishment.

Moseyed back to WEP stage and did wall sits while raising arms and going up on toes and down. Then a balls to the wall contest. You held balls to the wall as long as you could if you dropped you did burpees until the last man dropped.

Our finisher was a set of 7. In front of the stage you did squats the climbed up wall and ran to back wall of stage for a mike Tyson.

After that we moseyed to flag for core work (arts and crafts for 15min) until 7:30.

MARY: Was glorious

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence 29th at WEP for The Fort’s birthday party (gifts not required) , read the letter of News every Sunday.

COT: prayer for BRR teams, PAX with injuries, and any PAX going through life hardships quietly
