Leave a comment

WARMUP:
10 each in cadence:
– Seal Jacks

THE THANG:
Mosey to the pier behind Pacos Tacos:

– “Walk the plank” – plank while partner lunge walks out then and runs back.
– “Plank the walk” – same but reverse lunge walk & nur
– Bear crawl the pier and run back while and partner squats
– Bear crawl the pier and nur back while and partner squats

Review: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.

Mosey to pond overlook:
Al Gore while PAX take a lap around the sidewalk island one a time.

Mosey to dirt parking lot:
Partner up for board of pain.
One PAX runs the a marked off area (about half the lot) while other does:

– Merkins
– Carolina Dry Docks
– Shoulder Taps
– Mountain Climbers
– Flying Squirrels (aka <@U08QLQH6J68> burpee)

Review: 5 Core Principles, plus how we esteem each PAX giving their best effort – not if there are stronger or faster than the other PAX.

Mosey back to amphitheater, stopping along the way at a beach for 10 in cadence of:

– Dips
– Derkins

Big reveal of the other side of the board of pain. One PAX runs a lap around the amphitheater while others do:

– Step Ups

– Imperial Walkers
– Burpees
– Hillbilly Walkers

WARMUP: Circled up and stretched ‘em out while one Pax ran circles around three times

THE THANG: At the center of WEP after pairing up one partner jogged off and after a five count the other partner ran to catch up. Repeated this a few times.

Headed to the hill for a few rounds of Indian Bear Crawl with partners.

Then to playground where partner stayed home and did random exercises while partner ran the perimeter of the playground.

Went back to hill to enjoy more shenanigans and finished at COT. All thoroughly enjoyed.

MARY: Three minutes of Mary and Spike enjoyed having a turn.

WARMUP: Gathered at the top of the heart of Kingsley with 8 HIMs ready to start their Thursday. Started out with SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, down dogs and some honeymooners.
THE THANG: Instructions were 3 exercises per stop. First stop was fire pit. 20 merkins, 20 squats, 20 shoulder taps. Next stop was by the waterfall for the same count and exercises. Next stop was the round about for the same 3 exercises and counts.

Next stop was half way towards the trails for: 30 lunges, 30 hammers, 50 calf raises. To the top of the hill at the light for the same 3 exercises and counts. Back down the hill where we stopped for a min for the six, then ran to the round about.

At the round about, we did 25 CDD, 25 plank jacks, 25 seal jacks. Ran towards sunbelt rental down the road, stopped half way for the 6. Then ran all the way down to the corner for another round of the 25s. Ran half way up the hill, then ran back to pick up the 6, then did another round of 25s.

Last was 50s up the hill to COT. 50s were: 50 step count of 80-90% sprint, 50 steps at 5k’ish speed, 50 steps walking which landed us at COT.

MARY: Full round of cadence counting for each pax.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes

Run It Like You Stole It… or Forget the Route

Leave a comment

Minute Man rolled in at 6:02 — just early enough to technically make the “6ish” window.

⸻

?‍♂️ Road Warriors:
• Fogerty, Bass-o-Matic, and YHC tackled Sam Neely to Harvest Point and back — locked in a crisp 10K (6.2 miles) before most people even hit snooze.
• Peach Stand took the scenic route: Sutton, Baxter, Starbucks fly-by. 4.25 miles and the quote of the morning: “6 miles wasn’t in the forecast.”
• Tiller and Minute Man completely ignored the Harvest Point turn like it never existed.
• Tiller hit the Dam and flipped it at 8 miles.
• Minute Man nearly made it to his own driveway before realizing we weren’t behind him — turned back at Dam Rd for 9 miles, crushed That Hill™ like it was flat. Savage move.

⸻

? Trail Gang:
• Vuvuzela and Roll Off delivered a trail-running masterclass:
• Vuvuzela lost a shoe mid-run, went full archaeologist to dig it out, and still gutted out 9.5 miles.
• Roll Off sprinted those same 9.5 miles like he was racing the time clock — controlled chaos at its finest.
• Sasquatch went full beast mode: prerun from home to Lake Haigler, ran the workout, then ran home. 10.66 miles — just showing off at this point.
• Everest and Cobra Kai casually dropped 9 miles like it was a warm-up jog.

⸻

? Ruck Ops:
• Wegmans did his thing — 3.6 Kingsley loop miles with weight on his back and grit in his soul.

⸻

? Shoes were lost. Hills were tamed. Coffee was earned.
?See you next week — no map needed (but maybe bring a phone just in case).

Short Attention Span Theater

WARMUP: Yea, that’s a good thing to do. We ran a bit first then:
SSH, IW, HW, Parker Peter, Yoga, Peter Parker, Yoga, Mountain Climber, Yoga
THE THANG:
Island Hopping – all in cadence
– 5 burpees
– 10 merkins (down 1 cadence)
– 15 squats (down 1 cadence)
– 10 flutters
– 5 burpees
Then travel to the next island. Mode of transport: bear crawl, lunge walk, one burpee broad jump in there, crawl bear. Wasn’t counting how many islands we hit, but we went to the end.

Mosey back picking up the 6 at turns. Lots more traffic at 0650 compared with 0550. The PAX let me know I was reckless and dangerous while crossing the street. Feedback taken!!

MARY: Some hip flexibility
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
7/3 Bethel service date
7/4 Convergence @ FMHS @ 0630 enter from HWY 21
7/22 Sweaty Barry

COT: was held
