Nosey to stairway down from Epic where we did Apollo Ono, Side lunge, mogul jumps while trading off sprints up and down the stairs.

Next OB and MM traded off picking a spot to run to where the other pax then called an exercise. YHC called varying count of burpees at every stop before running to the next spot.

MARY: done inside Thang
COT: lots of praises, prayers for kids starting college and returning to work after baby birth, prayers for being a better husband

Jekyll was missed. He’ll certainly bring some form of misery back to DP soon.

Thanks to OB and MM for the fellowship and push throughout a cold morning!

WARMUP: Run to bandshell at WEP
THE THANG: We did laps around WEP with an accumulator thrown in for fun. When returning to the bandshell after each lap pax did the following starting with the first exercise and then adding the 2nd to it, then the 3rd, then adding the 1st exercise on top of the original 3 following the 4th lap

Burpees x10
Should taps x20
Squat x30

We got in 5 laps before returning home. All the effort in continuous fashion kept the pax warm and kept the cranky mumblechatter flowing.

MARY: done inside the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D items and more
COT: yes!

The rain was light but steady throughout and it didn’t scare off any of the pax. 36 degrees and wet — I’m grateful anyone showed up but I was especially grateful to see my co-Q Trucker. We used the morning as a faceoff between Trucker repping Penn St and DD repping Notre Dame in advance of the CFP game the following Thur.

Trucker led off with a history lesson of the rivalry that started in 1913. His upper body sequence included the list below with 19 reps on the first round and 13 reps in the second round.

Chest press
Skull crushers
Lat swings
Shoulder press
Front shoulder raises
Upright rows
Bent over rows
Curls

Mosey to funeral home and back

DD took over halfway through for a lower body sequence that included 4 quarters (4 rounds) of the following:

Cleans R/L
Goblet squat
Racked lunge R/L

One Word for the Win

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Killed some time with usual fare in pkg lot while Mainframe and Pusher fixed the wrinkle in their panties
THE THANG: Ran past the golf course (with some exercises along the way) to the lower part of the trail that goes up the hill from Tega Cay Drive to the tennis courts. We did hill repeats with squats at the bottom and burpees at the top. We did so many that Dark Helmet cried and our Q (YHC) lost count. Then we did some more. And then more. When Fishstix proved to be unbreakable, we ran past tennis courts, out the golf course entrance and down the road back to Runde with some exercises along the way.
MARY: Flutters in parking lot for last 2 mins
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pusher is leading 8 Blocker exercise 1st Sat of Jan at Panera after workouts.
COT: Falconcrest brought our FNG Slurve who showed up in a golf cart but somehow we have him baseball name. Thanks for the EH! Let’s get him back out this week!

We addressed the One Word topic throughout, including examples of random words that don’t motivate and thoughtful words that do. Pusher added some best practices, Senator gave his solid plug for Why F3 still matters to him in his 13th year. Finally DOAH stuck the landing with a heartfelt example of how F3 and One Word can come together in mysterious ways to make Impact.

A great morning for all present. You were missed Uber!
