Regal Manor Impromptu Tour

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None- we just run
THE THANG: Took a tour of Regal Manor from NaFo. It was a good fellowship/conversational pace. Pax ran between 4.8 and 5.3 miles. The fast guys @SkateOrDie and @Badlands stretched their legs and bit and we got separated for a bit there and they had to run a little further to find us again.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter. Get ready for the 10 yr celebration

Only Took A Week And Half To Write This Up

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Started with a warmup lap around the track for 1/4 mile. Then we did 15 Hand Release merkins, 15 Cherry Pickers, 15 Hill Billy Walkers, Moraccian NightClubs , and 15 Over Head Claps

THE THANG: Usually this AO does Broga prior to the boot camp version of workout. I opted for 20 minutes of Broga afterwards as I prefer to stretch with warm muscles to get a deeper stretch. So here’s what we did. After the warmup had Pax mosey over to football field for a exercise I found called The Red Bruchetta: It goes like this,

Start at one end zone run to other end zone and do 100 SSH’s, run back to starting end zone and plank while waiting for six to return.
Next run to the opposite 25 yard line and do 75 Mountain Climbers run back and plank on elbows till 6 is in
Go to 50 yard line and do 50 LBC’s return and do Hello Dollys till 6 is in.
Go to 25 yard line do 25 Monkey Humpers return and do Flutter Kicks
Go to 15 yard line do 15 Burpees and return and do Penguins in cadence.
This took about 25 minutes to do which left about 20 minutes of Broga to wrap it all up. Thanks Bodywash for the Q.
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Fort 10 year anniversary in September
COT: All parents and kids returning to school.

“Just the Facts, Ma’am.” pt 2.

Leave a comment

It was a glorious 75 degree gloom today, complete with humidity and dew. The air was saturated from the storms overnight. Along the ride there was a Shield & Splinter sighting – running all the way from Regent Park. Animals.

YHC rolled into the AO in a good mood, made even better by the sighting of Dirty Harry waiting in the parking lot. To top it off, Albatross showed up the day after his FNG post. The man’s got gumption.

Start

Disclaimer was disclaimed, then we walked through the 5 core principles. YHC was excited to deliver the pain this morning.

COP

SSH x 34 IC

Merkins x 7 IC

Six Count Burpess x 5 IC

Jump Lunges x 8 Each Side

Weinke

Quick mosey to adjacent lot.

ASS WEBBS

1 Squat : 4 Squat Pulses up to 10:40. The PAX dropped it like it was hot.

Walk Like an Egyptian

This is a lunge hold Indian run. Take a step in a lunge, hold it, PAX in rear sprints to front. Step forward with other leg, hold while PAX in rear sprints to front. Repeat until you arrive at your destination.

Luckily our destination was only 50 or so yards… but the burn was felt.

BEARPEES

1 6-Count Burpee : 4 Bear Crawl Steps up to 10:40. YHC called the cadence throughout to keep the PAX together.

Mosey to field to complete final iteration.

JACK WEBBS

1 Merkin : 4 OH Claps up to 10:40. The shoulders were on fire for the duration of this iteration.

5 Min of Mary

Protractor into Rosalita’s x 10

Flutters x 10

American Hammers x 10

Gas Pumpers x 10 (at the discretion of Dirty Harry)

NMM

Today’s workout was pleasant – most would disagree – but the mutual suck endured alongside my brothers quickly became fun for YHC. I wanted to cut the movements short multiple times, but we don’t wake up at 0430 to half ass it.

I’ve been struggling to post as of late, and to be honest I am not happy with myself about it. I ran into Esso on Monday at Publix, and the camaraderie gained from posting quickly translates into the world a sense of community and belonging. He promised he’d come to my Q, and much to my delight, he did as he said. This community we have in F3 is not to be taken for granted, even by a kotter like myself. I am better when I post. Not only because of the 1st F. It’s because of the 2nd F that we all enjoy so much, followed by the 3rd F in putting our community and faith above ourselves. We push each other to be better daily. It starts with showing up.

Who is in your world that would benefit from this?

Clovis showed us

Leave a comment

WARMUP: à la carte

THE THANG:
150 burpee pull-ups
10 mile run

We broke it into 15 reps, run 1 mile

Barely finished 4 rounds
That was hard.

When I do a hero workout, I remind myself that 2nd Lt. Clovis T. Ray didn’t share how he felt about the conflict he was fighting in. He just did what was asked of him, and wasn’t able to come home.

An honor to lead.
