“Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.”

With that, The Thrill is gone!

You can run hills on your own time

Leave a comment

WARMUP: light stretching
THE THANG: we ran through dominion bridge, taking the high line to avoid the large hill (I felt like having a flat run today). Exit the neighborhood on whites and turn left – follow to the waterside roundabout and turn right. Follow that road to the first roundabout. This is the turn around point for a little over 4 miles. Pax modified to make the route longer or shorter, and some added in the dominion bridge hill just for fun. Some of us also are taking a wait a see approach with the Clemson rehiring of Chad morris as their OC, despite the Deja-vuness of it all.
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: break the dam everyone – tshirt deadline approaching. Also Massey blood drive this weekend

End of year split

Four posted at the last RoF for 2025.
Ruby Slippers started us off with a warmup mosey run with side shuffles and cariocas.
Then to the pull up bars for pick-your-poison: do 50 reps total of either pull-ups or manmakers (i.e. 30 pull ups and then 20 manmakers).
Then did a quadzilla: run down the hill and nur back up; repeat for 4x.

Harry Caray took over with some toy soldiers and then to the football field for:
Bear vs Crab soccer (two pax could only bear crawl, other two could only do crab walk). We swapped bear/crab too.
Clothespin tag: get 4 pins, and pax earned additional pins by correctly answering F3 questions (credo, mission, core principles etc). Then we played tag.
Ended with slam ball (15 lbs) mary: pax on their six and toss slam ball to eachother (be nice and call their name before tossing), pax did sit ups with ball before tossing.
Fini.

Run Run Rudolph

This ended up basically being a shield lock workout. With several of us having nagging injuries, we mainly did running today.

WARMUP: warm-up lap around the track, SSH, Windmills, Moroccan Night Clubs

THE THANG: The Laredo- 6 rounds. 24 Squats, 24 Merkins, 24 Lunges, run a lap around the track. Since it was just the 4 of us, we decided to do this together in cadence.

Then we did some mountain climbers & sprints. For 4 minutes, 25 mountain climbers and the goal-line then sprint to the other goal-line. Rinse and repeat for the full time.

MARY: LBC, Box Cutters, Big Boys, Roseletta, Flutters, American Hammers, Freddy Mercury, something else I can’t remember.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas Eve Convergence, Bethel on 1/1, pending AO changes, read your newsletter.

COT: Prayes for travels, family, marriages, recovery
