Day: October 17, 2023

Rain can make you late

Throngs of eager PAX waited patiently for the arrival of the Q to Old School. They only had to wait about 75 seconds before YHC plowed into the lot to get the festivities under way. This is what happened…

We started with a warmup under the picnic shelter that included the Patented Right Over Left. Other stuff was done.

Mosey around the track a couple times to get the blood pumping for the first course of the Thang.

50 Squats, 100 Merkins and 150 LBCs in whatever combination and order you want. Once that was done we moseyed toward downtown, taking a pause at the fire department for a sprint break. Mosey around the courthouse block, sprinting one of the straightaways. We stopped at the dry gazebo for plenty of ab work, which included lots of American Hammers thanks to Seuss and Wiki. Get up and mosey again, throwing in a couple more sprints for good measure. Back to the gazebo for more ab work and some stretching, then a mosey back to the start.

We stretched a little more to limber up after all that sprinting. The crowd went wild with excitement.

Prayer requests: Jackson Hall, Turtleman, Broke’s daughter getting engaged

Announcements: HC for Christmastown 5k, 2nd F lunch

Assaulting Ground and taking names

There were some ruckers and some runners. It was a nice day for either. This is what happened…

The route was provided on Slack the day before by the excellent Site Q Virus and then YHC reiterated it before we headed out. The runners followed the route, the ruckers did whatever ruckers do when the wander into the gloom.

After the work was done, the runners were back where they were supposed to be AND they were on time. We waited and waited and waited and waited until YHC had to call one of the delinquent ruckers to get their location.Β  Apparently, it’s hard to keep good track time when rucking. Do better men. You hate to see it.

Announcements: 24 hour run Nov 4th, Beer Ruck in December, Freight’s trail race soon, 40-Day challenge NOW

Prayer Requests: Turtleman

How late can you be????

A rainy Saturday at Folsom.
I called the Omaha for everyone to meet in the bottom shelter. I’m still nursing my back/nerve pain so no running for me. We gonna do a little block work! Gear Wrench brought his radio and I brought the blocks down so at 6:30 we got started.

Warm up: normal stuff

The Thang: With the blocks

13 reps- Down to 1
Curls, triceps, block swing, squat, Merkin, ww3 sit ups
13 step ups on the block between rounds
we all took turns calling the reps so we stayed together. My playlist was diverse and actually had some pretty good one pop up on the Pandora algorithm. Sarlacc only disapproved of one or two songs I think! πŸ˜‚ That took about 40 mins. About this time Ommpa Loompa showed up πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ… I mean how late can you be and still be counted as working out….Hate to see it . We finished out with deck of death Ommpa Participated in this.

Time!
