Bad Decisions on Gardenia

Leave a comment

Been a while since Q’ing and not in my best shape but felt like we all needed a kick in the teeth and had some bad ideas…

WARMUP: Sasquatch and YHC ran about 2.5 mile pre-run down Dave Gibson, past school, and up around Walmart.

THE THANG:
Head towards Gardenia hill in Baxter ~1.5miles…

Monkey humpers on 160 until a couple cars passed… maybe 20 IC

Every quarter mile stop for IC exercises that stacked….
merkins then add LBCs then add LSS then add SSH

At bottom of Gardenia come up with a lot of bad ideas….

all you got to the top then struggle through some IC SSH for the 6

Mosey to bottom

Nur back up to first light pole then IC SSH for 6

Bear crawl to next light pole then IC MNC for 6

All you got to the top then IC SSH for the 6

Return to COT with stops every quarter mile for stacked IC exercise

SSH then add LSS then add LBCs then add Merkins

MARY: IC IWs, IC Freddie’s, IC AHs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Schweaty Barry 7PM July 22

COT: Yup

Bad things happen all the time – keep a positive attitude always and those around you will be better off

You Don’t Lick Them!

Leave a comment

4 runners: NASA, Double D, Sprocket, Cubbie
4 ruckers: BassOMatic, Fogarty, Crab Cakes, and THE Twister
WARMUP: Yes, mother nature warmed things up for us, a very swampy 78 deg start at 0515.
THE THANG:
The ruckers went off holding hands and singing camp songs, while the runners went to the lot between the football field and the school. It was partially under construction but still provided a 400m loop where we did pyramid Fartleks:
5 min easy warmup run, then hit the intervals:
2 min hard, 1 min off
3 min hard, 1 min off
4/1
5/2
Then back down
5/2, 4/1, 3/1, 2/1
Then a 3-4 min cool down run to COT, where the ruckers met us along the way there.
Everyone crushed it, even though it felt like we were running inside a steam sauna. Zero air movement too. We all left some water weight behind.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter and get involved!
COT: mentioned Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month again and had a brief discussion on that. Lifted up P&P.

Speed work is the way to becoming a better runner. It is not just for sprinters, and it does more than just improving your average run pace. Endurance, leg strength, lung capacity, VO2, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, threshold limits, and more all benefit from speed work. Ideally it is done regularly in ones running plan, like monthly or bi monthly. You won’t expand your limits unless you push your limits.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
SYITG and Blessings,
NASA

New Office Tour

Leave a comment

On what was the most humid day of the year so far, 9 pax got after it in the gloom. <@U01NGHPR2HW> asked that I give my “why” for F3. My why isn’t because of the workout or doing something that most ordinary people wouldn’t do or because it put me in the best shape of my adult life when I was called to donate a kidney to a friend, but it’s because of the group of men that create a community that cares about each other.
I know that if I don’t show up, someone will wonder where I am, how I’m doing, and truly care about me.
This is more than a workout group. It’s a community that I’m proud to be a part of. Keep posting, check on Kotters, and get more men into this group.
WARMUP: We mossey’d over to the First Baptist church parking lot to give us some room and some nice pavement to work from. Started with SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Merkins, Parker Peters
THE THANG: The OG Dora of 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs. Followed that with a Jack (1/2 of a Jack Webb) of burpees and Overhead claps and then a Webb Jack of Mountain Climbers and Mack-tar-njais.
MARY: Ran back towards COT and then climbed the steps at the park before going back to Veterans Park for some box cutters and some flutters.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter service on 7/3/26.
COT: Lots of prayers for families, jobs, and our group.
