Figure 8s on the Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The first lap behind the pacer (YHC) served as the warmup with three stops for exercises along the way.

THE THANG: The route today was a figure eight on the map — out the lot up to Skipper for a right turn at the Pharmacy (fka bank) down 160 to a right turn on Main street, down hill to a left turn on Railroad Ave left turn at Print Shop across the connector to Munroe White down the hill to Academy back to Main Street and Memorial Park.

Each time pax get to Print Shop it’s 10x Perfect Merkins (= Hand release Merkin with Shoulder tap at the top)

Each time pax get to Pharmacy lot it’s 20x Squats + 30x Plank jacks.

All pax got at least 3 laps for 3.3+ miles each.

MARY: Rebel led some Mary as the pax reconvened at the lot.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Whetstone revival at Hanging with Stang today (if you’re reading this you either made it or didn’t), Beers for Beetus, read your newsletter

COT: Pax pushed hard today, esp after lap 1 during which there was much mumblechatter. It’s cold out but not too cold for these HIMs!

Tesla and Shady were kings — crushed it, nowhere in sight!

16 pax owned Main St Fort Mill during first lap…should’ve had a camera recording the scene for a hype vid

Themes of Grace, Disgrace, Expectations and Shame running across my radar in recent days/weeks. Stirring interview with Marcus Mumford included his living for a long time “under layers and layers of shame.” Reflections on that article and his recent songs continue to draw me deeper. Check it out and reflect on your own experience — https://www.gq.com/story/gq-hype-marcus-mumford

Thanks for the invite Jekyll! Missed you!

Always an honor, pax! Thanks for pushing yourself and me today!

Footloose Marketing at Clydesdales

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The Q warmed up with a few laps in the LPL parking lot. Olaf warmed up out and about.
THE THANG: The pax were given the route out to the Footloose AO and back. (as the site Q, never miss an opportunity to put the AO on the Pax’s mind). Modifiable from 3+ miles – add or subtract as necessary. 11 men launched and passed in front of my M on her way to work at the red light at the Peach Stand.
11 men arrived back safely!
This is not a DeepFake. This is an ACTUAL Real backblast from Clydesdales.
MARY: nah, not today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: marriages
COT: marriages.

Butterflies 🦋 & bidets 🚽

Leave a comment

WARMUP: broga…I crushed it and didn’t use my sissy yoga mat which I guess is now frowned upon. Who knows but the stretching was wonderful.
THE THANG: short run Dora…about 50 yard run way down in the elementary parking lot. Partner up for 100 diamond merkins, 200 lunges, 300 double count flutters.

Headed over to the hill for 7s. Hand release merkins at the bottom, half way up the hill for CDD. Before we started, YHC asked how to balance servant leadership with frustration with patience with a little bit of perspective.

After 7s we headed to the pull up bars with under 5 min remaining.
– 1 pull-up, dangle for 10 seconds, then
– 2 pull-ups, dangle for 20 seconds, then
– 3 pull-ups, dangle for 30 seconds, then
-4 pull-ups, dangle for 40 seconds…
Body wash won and made it to 4 and 40! He gets to continue being site Q!
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter, Columbia 10 year, trash pick up, men’s shelter
COT: health, anniversary (BD!!), upcoming star course guys

Deck of Awesomeness

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Mosey to FM Church of God…SSH, Low slow squats, seal jacks and Moroccan nightclubs. Mosey to FM Baptist rear parking lot.

THE THANG:
Deck of cards: Hearts = Merkin. Spades = BBSU. Diamonds = Lunge. Clubs = Crab cakes. Joker = 15 burpees. 2s = Lap around parking lot. PAX made it through 90% of the deck before DOAH decided to “help” by selecting new cards for the remainder of the WO. As punishment for DOAH’s “help,” we pivoted to 7’s on the Withers St hill. Jump Squats at the bottom and merkins at the top.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many options for community leadership coming up in the next few months.
