Yinz going DahnTawn N’AT?

Leave a comment

When called to lead by a fellow yinzer…. You answer the call. The standard is the standard after all.

Disclaimer

Warmup:

8 Manmakers every minute on the minute for 5 minutes

Began the long mosey.

3 rounds of 18 Minutes.

For each 18 Minute round we would stop and do reps of an exercise. The number of reps was equal to the minute in the round. So after minute 1 we did 1 merkin after minute 2 we did 2 merkins etc..etc…
As the reps progressed it definitely got harder and the chatter got less.

Round 1: Merkins
Round 2: Squats
Round 3: Hammers ( In the interest of time and to ensure that we got back to COT on time we just walked most of this but did get hammers in at the very end)

All in we got over 170 Squats and Merkins in plus Manmakers and hammers.

Thanks to Sprocket for the call! Always happy to support a fellow Yinzer!

Take care and until next time……N’at.

5 burpees

MARY: a bit of core interspersed, but not much. Quack Attack would not have approved

NMM: every PAX shared their biggest work failures. Grateful to hear how successful men have messed up. Even the “goo” culture shares our successes, but sharing our failures keeps us from feeling so alone when we screw up. Thanks to everyone for their vulnerability. As IJ said in COT, a failure is just a waypoint to someplace better. Let’s stay after it.

5 rounds of 18sec
5 rounds of 16sec
5 rounds of 14sec
5 rounds of 12sec
10 rounds of 10sec
10 rounds of 9sec – this is where it really strayed to get hard
10 rounds of 8sec
10 rounds of 7sec – this was as far as we could make it and Old Bay was the only one.

Round 2 The tail of Ouroboros
There are 4 pax, we all start at opposite ends of the tracks

Old bay was the victor of the day.

Timberline Trail – ASCG

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
12 PAX strong ruckes Kingsley trail to Timberljne trail. We made a push for Lake Haigler but had to turnaround at E3. Seemed like 2 ish miles. We encountered rocks, roots, terrain, river crossings, and horse manure. It was cool to look back a see a string of headlamps, bobbing through the woods. When one of us was in a valley, another was at a peak encouraging us to keep going. In your concentrica, who needs encouraging today?

Wellness Check on Mr Harris – and We Love You Cable Guy!!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None other than most excellent pre-run mumblechatter and then giving the route. The former warmed us up more than the latter.

THE THANG: We ran. Some faster than others but that does not matter as long as you are there. Route was L on Munn, L on Harris, take Harris to the end, L on Massey, L on 160 then take it to COT. Extra credit – old Kingsley loop.
Without EC – around 4 miles
With EC – about 4.9
Hills are in both versions.
Mr Harris can get in your head. He is a daunting hill. Just keep after it and DFQ. Get him out of your headspace to conquer him!

MARY: My Mom’s name. Love it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes there were. READ THE NEWSLETTER!!

COT: Plenty.

Special prayers towards one of our own – Cable Guy – and his family, loved ones. Today marks the one year anniversary of the way too soon passing of his much beloved son Noah. He was a great young man in many ways. We love you CG!!!
