Day: August 3, 2023

Shoot fire and save matches. I’m turning into Slaw. It rains everytime it’s my turn to Q at Midoriyama.

However it’s not a bad thing.

How else could I become more like Slaw?
Be an absolute beast? Nope.
Be a former championship belt holder? Nope.
As Popeye says “I yam whut I am”.

Can only be an example to see if you will post forty, thirty, twenty, ten years from now when you’re my age.

For safety concerns over wet and slippery conditions on the soccer fields due to raining most of the day……
earlier YHC sent out word to meet at the picnic shelter by the playground near the pump track.

Simple instructions right?

No…it’s Midoriyama.

There’s always someone who doesn’t get the word.

I know how Short Sale feels about us cast of clowns.

Discovered one pax on the back side of the soccer fields getting in EC. Cannot admonish him now.

Get some! OOHRAH!
Run to join him.

Passed the word for him to stay by the turdshack and let any late arriving pax know location changed.

Was at the appointed place by the appointed time.

Okay gang’s all here.
Let’s get going.

A few less PAX than normal this morning but what we lacked in quantity, we made up for in quality! Mayor is out there putting in miles again. Of course, Slaw and Gearwrench were setting the pace. Sarlacc and Oompa undoubtedly had some great conversation on their mosey. Pall Bearer and Camelia got an early start and rucked. Wirenut complained about his shoulders but he got in some miles as well. Me – well, I ran a mile and my knee kept aching so I called it and got in another mile of walking. Guess I’m complaining too.

Prayers – Brillo and Sarlacc’s family, Sgt Pork Chop, Norwood, Huck, Turtleman, Mayor, Haze, Leppard, Wirenut. 2nd F lunch at Pita Wheel in Belmont this month. Thunder at Folsom 8/16, Lightning at Prison Break 8/23, Thunder again at Midoriyama 8/24.

Gear wrench reached out to me and said he wanted to run old IPC workouts at Folsom every Thursday during August,to get ready for the real deal. I thought that was an awesome idea and was pumped about picking the first one. I searched the archives and came up with crazy 88’s from 2021 I remember this one well I couldn’t attend the scheduled running of it at old school so I decided to run it solo at Folsom and asked if anyone wanted to join thankfully my buddy Wirenut came and ran it with me. It was hard then and no surprise it was hard this morning.  I think I ran it in about the same time around 30 minutes not bad but could be better. The workout consisted of 4 sets of 88 this is how it went

8 burpees run across the field 8 burpees continue this until achieving 88 burpees

then 8 squrls carry block across 8 squrls continue until 88

then 88 overhead presses rifle carry across 88 more rifle carry back

then 88 X factors bear crawl across 88 more then crawl bear back

Done! Praise the Lord I was spent Gearwrench killed it did like 50 OH presses in a row Pony boy did a bear gallop it was awesome every one present grinded hard 💪🏻and that’s the point to reach those limits and poke the hell out of em till you get stronger! IPC season is awesome come get ready at Folsom one Thursday in august if you get a chance. We pledged did announcements I shared a word then prayed us out Q fail I forgot namerama I’m blaming it on the burpees my brain was lacking oxygen 😁 thanks for the opportunity to lead

Westside over and out
