Small Crowd at Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

We had 6 BC, 3 Runners, I Rucker at Minnow Pond this morning. The rain kept some of the regulars at home. I switched my plans last minute due to the small numbers.
Pledge and we were off to the Pharmacy for some warm-up exercises (SSHs, IWs, MNCs)
Next stop, town parking lot where we did bearcrawl merkins. Mosey to the post office for the same exercises and added crawlbear CDDs.
Continued run down Williamson and Academy for another round of crawls merkins and CDDs. Two rounds up the hill with squats at the top and hand release merkins at the bottom.
Back up the hill in the opposite direction to the First Baptist parking lot. Relay race with exercises at each corner. 1st round merkins (5,10,15,20 count). 2nd round squats same count, Once the teammate completed the first station, next person started the relay. @U061FJV3GVD pulled a Seinfeld and started running early. Last stop was up to Tom Hall and back to Main Street for a set of V ups. We continued up and down Main Street circling back for the six. Two minute warning gave us time for a sprint up Massey.

Link street on my heart

Leave a comment

Written by DOAH in slack: [commentary by Band Camp]

Heart Breakers: @U01NGHPR2HW and almost @U05TY21AC2X, but he uncommitted sometime last night…

The Thang: Route attached [was attached in slack, you could look up today's date on a PAX's Strava. Suffice it to say: we hit 3 miles. FMPD slow rolled our start this morning which kept YHC from running directly where I planned to go, but we made it over there another way. No complaints]. We stopped a lot and did a lot [5 each stop] of 6-Count burpees (a BC staple), [10] merkins, [15] squats, [20] flutters, with a few LBCs thrown in for bad measure. [We did an undetermined amount of these based on keeping the group together enough so nobody got lost. Kept things in cadence because that seems to help keep men accountable to actually doing the exercises. Something about pushing through pain and discomfort together. Started with just burpees. Next stop: burpees & merkins, etc.]

Moleskine: Sweat. Plenty of sweat. And some ramblings that implied some very limited understanding of the functional success of certain systems. Regardless, we went fast and didn't lose anyone along the way… except Slash… but he was lost by choice. Uptown Girl is still greatly disturbed by my presence and refused even so much as a fist bump this morning, but like a lot of folks who hate me when they first meet me (that list is long, right Crystal Lake?), I'll wear him down eventually.

COT: The Fort’tan gave a good thought about acting on those things that we feel called to do and not delaying. Prayers for EC as he heads off to get his head shaved and his spine straightened, and prayers for NASA as he sends his little bird out of the nest.

[Here's the deal. God doesn't put things on your heart for someone else to do it. Go get after it.]
