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).

One to Ten

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yea, it’s a good thing. We did that.
THE THANG: String of Pearls…classic. Mosey and stop occasionally for:

– Merkins
– Squats
– Carolina Dry Docks
– Lunges (2 is 1)
– Dips
– Monkey Humpers
– LBCs
– Mountain Climbers (2 is 1)
– Plank Jacks
– Flutters (in cadence)

Started with 1 rep or each, which Bonsai believes was barely worth coming down from the mountain for. And added a rep each time we stopped. We got to 10

MARY: Was mostly build in, but we did some hip flexibility in the last few minutes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 7/3 service date at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040A45A4A929A4F49-56341795-bethel#/ could use some signup help and some hands the day of. If you’re in town on 7/3, make an effort to help serve.

COT: What are you moderating that is helpful to you? What are you moderating that is unhelpful? What SHOULD you be moderating more?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer, mosey the front of the car line for COP
THE THANG:
COP (all in cadence): SSH x 20, windmill x 10, merkin x 10, Rosalita x 15, squat x 15, potato picker x 10, wide arms x 10, mountain climber x 15, Morracan night club x 30 while walking.

Mosey to the wall outside the school gym for People’s Chair. While in the chair, starting at one end, each pax does 5 merkins and returns to the chair. We did 3 rounds

Balls to the wall. Once in position, we ‘walked’ 3 steps left and went back 3 steps. Rinse and repeat while on the wall.

Mosey to bridge across the driveway and pair up. Four rounds along the bridge with exercises at each light.
Round 1: Lunge walk, 5 merkins at each light
Round 2: Light jog, 10 SSH…
Round 3: Bearcrawl 1/2 way with 5 squats, crabwalk 1/2 way with 5 dips…
Round 4: High knees 1/2 way with 5 jump squats, butt kickers 1/2 way with 5 jump squats…

Mosey back to the front of the school for Modified ST 300: 4 exercises followed by one lap around the parking lot

Round 1: Merkin x 10, LBC x 20, Monkey humper x 15, burpee x 5, take a lap
Round 2: Diamond merkin x 10, Freddie Merc x 15, alternate lunge x 15, burpee x 5, take a lap
Round 3: Stagered merkin x 10, hello Dolly x 15, hill billy walker x 10/imperial walker x 10, 5 burpees, return to COT

MARY: Mixed in throughout the workout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT:
Praise for health, family, F3. Prayers for family with illness, aging parents, traveling mercies for parents coming to town.

It was another great morning with my F3 brothers. The humidity was high, and so was the effort from the pax (all respectables today!). YHC heard some chatter about whether certain elements were ‘moderate’, but I don’t think anyone present this morning was unhappy about how they felt at the end of the workout. Having 50-plus and 60-year-olds out at 5am each morning, pushing ourselves, should make us all feel proud and extremely blessed. Few would have thought we’d be doing this at our ages! It was a pleasure leading the group today, and I look forward to the next one. Stay young, gentlemen!
