Well not really. Read on.

YHC wasn’t sure he was going to make this morning. Our faithful K9 was accused of eating ~ 1 oz. of my son’s pipe tobacco. Many hours and two different after-hours vets later, she showed no signs of any problems or distress. So at 0130, when YHC crawled into bed, a message to Clavin indicating he may need to sub. Alas, YHC realized the difference between posting and going to work was a mere 1 hour of sleep…who needs more than 3.5 hours of sleep, anyway?

BTW, YHC did not prepare a weinke due to last night’s adventures, so this is what you get from a sleep deprived Watts Up…

When YHC rolled in, 4 were out getting EC. (Way to go get it!) All rolled in before 0530…

No FNG’s on this fine 20+ degree morning, so an abbreviated disclaimer was given.

WarmUp x 1:
Goof Balls IC x 13
Merkin IC x 10

Warmup x 2:
Mosey toward Union, stopping at every other light post on Riverwood Parkway to do exercises. Each stop included at least 1 and up-to 3 of the following:
20 Monkey Humpers
5 Burpees
25 Flutters
5 Flying Squirrels

Once we reached Union Road, frogger/mosey across to the lit, covered walk at Robinson Elementary.

The Thang…
11’s
At one end of the walk, Squats. At the other end, Dips.
Meander back to the middle when done.
(Lots of chatter about this, since the two points were ~150 yds apart)

Next on the hit parade was ascending 4 corners, using the corners of the parking lot.
10 Moroccan Night Clubs
20 Merkins
30 Reverse Crunch
40 Flutters (Single Count)

Since we went up, we needed to go back down, but only half way…
20 Flutters
15 Reverse Crunch
10 Merkins
5 Moroccan Night Clubs (apparantly this is hard to say in 20 degree weather. Luckily Whoopee and Gastone worked it out)

Meander back toward the church…. Scratch that, backward meander…

Once we were close to the church, lets mosey…
Past the Childcare Place, BB&T and into the BP.

Frogger back across Union to the soon-to-be Planet Fitness.

Here we did a little wall sitting and 15 Air Presses IC.

Mosey back toward the flag, but wait there is more…

20 Step-Ups each leg at the bank wall.

And then on to home.

According to the PAX with the fancy watches, we got right at 3 miles.

Your Welcome!

Prayer Requests:
Clavin’s M and Family.
Rock Hill/Fort Mill/Lake Wylie PAX with loss

Easy Rider took us out.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Moleskin:
During today’s workout the PAX made sure I knew this wasn’t The Pub or Coconut Horse. I realize there has been a good bit of running when I Q’d recently. Some of that is purposeful, some of it accidental. I don’t like running, nor am I particularly good at it. I don’t know that I will ever like it, but maybe I can get better at it. Almost everytime I run with the PAX, I will glean some nugget of truth to help improve.

I can’t express how much I appreciate the push, encouragement, support and accountability I have received in 10 months I have been out here. I can only hope to pay it back and forward.

James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
