It’s raining, men

It was cold and rainy and the last thing my M said before I walked out the door was something that ended with “stupid” so I just smiled and kept on going. I arrived to find several others already there including an FNG???!!! A rainy, cold, holiday and he had no more sense than to get out in the rain in the gloom. Our kind of guy-he heard about us/met us at Crowder’s Ridge at our CSAUP a few months ago. Glad to have you TK, hope to see you out here again, hopefully with better weather.

Disclaimer, WU: 5-10 IC SSH, Merkins, Squats

Pledge, still have the Ghost Flag.

Long mosey to Hawks Nest School with quick talk about how improving my running makes the rest of F3 less painful then we got to it. Partner up and P1 does exercise while P2 ran the parking lot trying to Chinook for as much as possible. Flapjack then move on to next exercise. The exercises were Merkins for 1 min, SSH for 2 min, and Squats for 3 min. Next was “30 Seconds of Uncle” which was a new exercise. P1 and P2 do 30 seconds of called exercise AMRAP but keep good form then swap. The plan was 3 different rounds of this but ran out of time so we just did 1 round of Hip Slappers and Burpees (30 seconds of each). Did not have much time so did a Hodor partner carry across the lot, mosey back, then flapjack with partner. This was so much fun, we changed partners and did it again. We didn’t have enough time for Jack Webb but we did it anyway then moseyed back to start where we found Spiderman coming back from a run. Apparently my WU routine was not long enough and he arrived just after we left. Spiderman gets a big ATTABOY for sticking around and getting in a solo workout-not sure I would have done that, especially in the cold rain.

We named our FNG (TK). Hint, don’t make a face like that when we suggest your name or it will stick. We did our quick announcements and prayer then 9 headed for coffeerama.

As usual, I was really glad I got out of bed and put in the work this am. I’ll say it again, the more I run the less painful the rest of the workout seems to be. Coffeerama also seems to be better on these holiday days-got to hear a lot of stupid crook stories which seemed to be the theme of the day. Good getting to know the pax on days like these.

Reminder: (after) Christmas Party at my house this weekend. Details in weekly newsletter.
