Turn rain on 0515, turn rain off 0600’ish

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Gathered before 0515 and no rain. 0515 hits and the rain begins. Why create an environment that makes things a little easier?

Disclaimer given and we took off on a little mosey to the corner of the parking lot.

Circled up for SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, Peter Parker.
THE THANG: Ran to the oil change place that has the little wall in the back. Once we got to the wall, direction was given. 10-20-30 was the idea.
– 10 step ups, run around building
– 10 diamond derkins, run around building
– 20 step ups, run
– 20 regular derkins, run
– 30 step ups, run
– 30 wide arm derkins, run

Run through the smell gauntlet and all the way through to the apartments with the round about at the bottom of the hill. 10-20-30 again but no running.

Alternating between CDD and lunges, do 10 of each, then 20, then 30.

Last we did 7s at the bottom of the hill to the fire station entrance. NUR up the hill, regular run to the bottom. Bottom of hill was bomb jacks, at the Fire station was 4 count flutters.
MARY: Plank hold with some plank stretches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes, newsletter
COT: of course

Failure is fine

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Gathered with our sandbags and left those for a quick mosey after a quick disclaimer. Came back for SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, cherry pickers.
THE THANG: Came back to our sandbags and took our carabiners and clipped the ends to each other. Put them on our shoulders and then walked VERY close to each other. Alternating shoulders as needed but honestly, this lasted about 200 yards before the Q realized this wasn’t shaping up as it was in his head. Along the way we did curls and then curls and overhead presses.

We then unclipped and did 10 manmakers. We then took our bags to the tiered area and partnered up at the bottom. 1 partner with a 40 and 1 with a 60.

Partner 1 took both sandbags to the top and partner 2 stayed at the bottom doing pushups. Once partner 1 got back, there was a flip flop. Rinsed and repeated this.

Did this again with dips (just 1 round) and finished with flutters but for flutters it was a farmer carry.

Headed back towards COT but stopped at the curb for another idea…that didn’t pan out. With 2 sandbags removed, each pax laid down with a sandbag held in a press and then passed it down the line (last 2 guys had no bag yet) and then the first 1 guy that passed the bag ran to the other end in an Indian run style plan. Again, idea was ok but execution wasn’t great.

Moral of the story today – have a plan, execute plan, adjust plan, move forward.
MARY: we spared a few min
ANNOUNCEMENTS: complete
COT: complete

A Great Fall Morning Run

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None
THE THANG: After COT, Spud, Minuteman, and Vuvuzela hit the trails. The rest of the Pax headed west on 160 for about a mile and took a left on Front Street. We took a circuitous route mostly through the Baxter neighborhood and hit good hills at Gardenia and New Gray Rock. After a quick pit stop at Starbucks, we finished with a loop around Kingsley and ended back at Panera. Approx 6 mi.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas Party Dec 21.
COT: Prayers for Zach and Abbie as they continue long rehab. Prayers for the group running now (safety) and for Pax running the Lake Haigler 12 hr. Prayers for the USA as we transition to a new president and for the people of Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine. The great fall weather and good fellowship today was a great way to start a Saturday morning.
