Figure 8s on the Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The first lap behind the pacer (YHC) served as the warmup with three stops for exercises along the way.

THE THANG: The route today was a figure eight on the map — out the lot up to Skipper for a right turn at the Pharmacy (fka bank) down 160 to a right turn on Main street, down hill to a left turn on Railroad Ave left turn at Print Shop across the connector to Munroe White down the hill to Academy back to Main Street and Memorial Park.

Each time pax get to Print Shop it’s 10x Perfect Merkins (= Hand release Merkin with Shoulder tap at the top)

Each time pax get to Pharmacy lot it’s 20x Squats + 30x Plank jacks.

All pax got at least 3 laps for 3.3+ miles each.

MARY: Rebel led some Mary as the pax reconvened at the lot.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Whetstone revival at Hanging with Stang today (if you’re reading this you either made it or didn’t), Beers for Beetus, read your newsletter

COT: Pax pushed hard today, esp after lap 1 during which there was much mumblechatter. It’s cold out but not too cold for these HIMs!

Tesla and Shady were kings — crushed it, nowhere in sight!

16 pax owned Main St Fort Mill during first lap…should’ve had a camera recording the scene for a hype vid

Themes of Grace, Disgrace, Expectations and Shame running across my radar in recent days/weeks. Stirring interview with Marcus Mumford included his living for a long time “under layers and layers of shame.” Reflections on that article and his recent songs continue to draw me deeper. Check it out and reflect on your own experience — https://www.gq.com/story/gq-hype-marcus-mumford

Thanks for the invite Jekyll! Missed you!

Always an honor, pax! Thanks for pushing yourself and me today!

Seamstress Last Stitch in the Fort

Leave a comment

WARMUP: not really the thing to do at Minnow Pond. Come at 0510 if you want a warmup
THE THANG: run, hard.
first stop – 1 merkin, 1 squat
2 merkins, 2 squats
Keep adding each time we stop
often we kept adding reps till the 6 was in. Then we took off again. PAX were advised to mosey when the group left and not worry about completing all the reps. Most hit 4 miles

Macgyver, Bones, and Badlands got out in front of me around mile 2 and Grout eclipsed me after mile 3. I always seem to push myself a little harder when I’m on Q at minnow pond. We have some strong and fast PAX in the Fort.

NMM: The idea was for the PAX to not know how far we were going or when we would stop. And that when we did stop, there’d be work to do. Just like our work lives that take us to new locations….

Seamstress had no idea when he came to FM that he’d be called to move so soon. Nor does he know when he’ll be called away again. Many PAX expressed gratefulness for the impact he had on us and prayers of blessing were offered (are still being offered) for his move to Chattanooga
