…the Son who rescued me

So Funhouse can stop crying…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Very little
THE THANG:
– To the pull up bars where we performed an idiot sequence of pullups one by one and some other exercises. Note for later, that didn’t really work.
– To the hill we all use entirely too much, but it’s a great hill, so why stop?
– Partner carries, wheelbarrows, running, bear crawling, all kinds of dumb stuff while we also ran around the back end through the neighborhood streets.
– One fake 10-count was involved
– Back to the parking lot for a fake Dora and then it was over…

MARY: No chicks.

exercise roulette at currahee

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH and some merkins
THE THANG: everyone got a coupon. Range from 60ish lb sandbag, 50lb laptop bag, GoRuck pillow, 25lb rucksack,
Lots of cones with exercises written on them. Each PAX toed the line on the field with their coupon. Everyone picked a cone that was facedown and performed the exercise after dragging the coupon some 20 yards via bearcrawls. Perform 10 reps of exercise listed on your cone. Bearcrawl drag coupon back to start line. Grab another cone and rotate to the coupon to the left bc sharing is caring. After everyone got a chance to “experience” the bearcrawls drag of each coupon. We then did some ruck shuffling with each coupon and some more exercises. Big boy burpees and 8 count body bag builders were the crowd favorite

Simple pendulum

Leave a comment

WARMUP: none
THE THANG: mossy to coffee parking lot. Simple pendulum where you run to GHES teacher parking lot. At bottom of hill 16 merkins at top of each hill 13 LBCs. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less, except for Dark Helmet complaining. And yes the reps represent the score of the Steelers win against that pro team to the south. How about them Steelers Crab Cakes?

Crossing State lines… running up hills.

Leave a comment

3 pax joined YHC on what is a balmy (relatively) morning for the last Friday in 2022.

The workout was simple but effective.

Run for 2 minutes “rest” for 1 minute. The rest part is where YHC led the pax in 10 Merkins or 10 low slow squats in cadence.

The route we ran was a very long loop. Starting at the Stockade we ran back through the forest grove development to Zoar rd. Ran .2 miles on Zoar to the state sign and then went into Hawks Creek.

We ran through my neighborhood and I pointed out homes of Pax past and present.

Back to Gold hill rd we ran all the way to the 7-11 and then headed back towards the Stockade. Before hitting COT we made a brief detour to “the hill” by the Fire station.

After running the hill we wrapped back around to Gold Hill rd entered the HT parking lot and ended at COT with 35 seconds left.

5 burpees later we hit 6:00 on the button.

The one message I left for the pax today was that no matter what your “hill” is this coming year go get after it. The hill won’t shrink the more you stare at it. You need to run it to get over it…. even if you can only go 2 minutes at a time.

Great group of men this morning. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Christmas Leftovers

Leave a comment

16 degrees this AM….

No one else showed for pre-run – but YHC hasn’t worked out in over a week so figured better to dust off the cobwebs before leading this morning.

THE THANG:
Was not sure how I would feel this morning (been sick for past week) so had a couple different routes in mind to get to Allison Park. Felt decent so decided for the 4 mile route through Baxter (Front – Berkshire- Downing – Gardenia – Mills – Sutton)

We stopped at random points along the way to allison park for exercises – monkey humpers (ICx20), merkins (ICx10), squats (ICx10), wide arm merkins (ICx10), lunges (OYOx10), diamond merkins (ICx10), shoulder taps (ICx10)

At Allison Park we did dips (ICx10) and then all got in plank position and did merkins while each PAX took turn doing 5 pullups.

Running low on time so mostly just run straight back to COT via sutton road and Richards Crossing. Stopped once to keep group together and did some Burpees (OYOx7)

Got back a couple minutes late.

COT and then some mumblechatter after.

As always- an honor to lead.

-Badlands
