Groundhog Day. Again.

Interrupted some mumblechatter amongst 5 PAX at 0530 for a brief disclaimer ahead of a Groundhog Day beatdown.  Warm up with SSH (10xIC) as Gator joined the circle, then Hillbilly Walkers (10xIC). 

Next exercise is the Alarm Clock. (Groans from the PAX confirmed to YHC that this was a solid choice on the Weinke.) UP! Just one, that’s all. Recover! That was pretty stupid. Let’s move on to the next thing, a little Rack & Stack. Here’s how that works:

Nur to the edge of the awning, 5 burpees.
Mosey back here, 5 burpees.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 10 hand-release merkins.
Mosey back here, 5 burpees, 10 hand-release merkins.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 15 jump squats.
Mosey back here, all of the above.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 20 4-count flutter kicks.
Mosey back here, all of the above.  Plank for the Six when done.
To get us started, Sargento cranked up some music.

“Insane in the Membrane” was the first selection on the playlist. It was apparently the long version and lasted through the third “Nur.” (YHC thought that particular song would play well into the theme of today’s workout, but allowed the music play through.)  Mumblechatter had resumed when a white Honda pulled across the carpool exit lane and up to the dumpster to illegally dump something. 

After completing the first round, finish up with the Alarm Clock. (Groans from the PAX confirmed to YHC that this was a solid choice on the Weinke.) UP! Just one, that’s all. Recover! That was pretty stupid. Let’s move on to the next thing, a little Rack & Stack. Here’s how that works:

Nur to the edge of the awning, 5 burpees.
Mosey back here, 5 burpees.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 10 hand-release merkins.
Mosey back here, 5 burpees, 10 hand-release merkins.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 15 jump squats.
Mosey back here, all of the above.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 20 4-count flutter kicks.
Mosey back here, all of the above.  Plank for the Six when done.
To get us started, Sargento cranked up some music.

Mumblechatter continued with discussion about various CSAUP’s and last night’s Rice n Beans.

After completing the second “first” round, finish up with the Alarm Clock. (Groans from the PAX confirmed to YHC that this was a solid choice on the Weinke.) UP! Just one, that’s all. Recover! That was pretty stupid. Let’s move on to the next thing, a little Rack & Stack. Here’s how that works:

Nur to the edge of the awning, 5 burpees.
Mosey back here, 5 burpees.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 10 hand-release merkins.
Mosey back here, 5 burpees, 10 hand-release merkins.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 15 jump squats.
Mosey back here, all of the above.
Nur to the edge of the awning, 20 4-count flutter kicks.
Mosey back here, all of the above.  Plank for the Six when done.
To get us started, Sargento cranked up some music.

Mumblechatter continued until teachers began to show up.  Note for future Q’s: It’s best to Nur in the same direction as traffic.

After completing the third “first” round, finish up with the Alarm Clock. (Groans from the PAX confirmed to YHC that this was a solid choice on the Weinke.) UP! Just one, that’s all. Recover! That was pretty stupid. Look at that, we’re almost out of time!  Just 4 minutes left for some Mary, one full round of PAX choice:

More flutter kicks, Dying Cockroaches as Mrs. Breaker Breaker walked by, reverse crunches, Heels to Heaven, oblique crunches, something else and Hello Dollys.

Time!  COT.

Been there, done that

On the way out of my hood, YHC had an opportunity to shout out to Gastonia’s least ugly cardiologist and Dirt running EC. There are running AO around, just saying.

Later that morning, in the former metropolis Gaston County seat of lil D. Pax were scattered all over town and around UNC-D. Only two at the start were Broke and Mayor.
After brief exchanges of insults we all ran or rucked.

Back at the flag. More exchanges of insults and putdowns.

Happy Lunar New Year – Out with the Ox and in with the Tiger

8 PAX posted today for some  Lunar New Year shenanigans!

Warm up included 16 each IC of SSH’s grass pickers, Abe Vigodas, Chinooks forwards and backwards, and Imperial Walkers.

Mosey to the front door of the school to do Rocky Balboas, AKA Riverdance in honor of National “Hula in the Coola Day”  Yes, a real holiday.

Serpent run up the hill to the traffic circle for Serpent Day.

I invited any PAX to call out Happy New Year at any point in the workout which would result in 5 Burpees by all.  Only one took advantage!

Cindy Crawfords back down the hill at each light in honor of  Spunky Old Broads Day.  Again, yes, real holiday.  10 merkins, 15 LBC’s 20 squats, 25 calf raises.

Partner up for some Dora, 100 merkins, 200 LBC, 300 Lunges.

Inch wormed across the parking lot for  national “Get up ” day

2 minutes for Mary

Prayer requests:

PAX on IR

Tesla and family

Humbled and honored to lead, thank you for the opportunity men!

Quality, Not Quantity @ Coconut Horse

It was cold.  Several regulars were in Biloxi getting their work in.  We did our thing anyway.

JJ and YHC ran while Flintstone rucked.  JJ pulled me along the route.

Whoopee showed for the Q Source discussion after on the LDP.

As usual, I did not regret getting up for the gloom.

COT with announcements, prayers and name-o-rama.

Until the next one.  Aye!
