A bunch of HIM showed for what was advertised as a moderate workout. Since it had been forever since YHC had Q’ed this AO, YHC already planned to do an oldy but goody from years ago. This is what happened…
Brief warmup then Pledge of Allegiance then count off.
Mosey toward Goat Island bridge. YHC called a Bear Crawl across the wooden part of the bridge. Once at the other end, we did the Skip to the other bridge where we Crab Walked to the other end. Turn around and lunge walk back to the other end, then Karaoke back to the first bridge. Bear Crawl the wooden part again, turn around and lunge walk back to the other end. Karaoke to the other bridge again, in the opposite direction as the first time.
Once all this was done, we headed to the big flat parking lot and paired up for Dora 1234. Partner 1 did the exercises while Partner 2 ran to the other end and back. We did
- 100 Merkins
- 200 Squats
- 300 Dying Cockroaches (count R side only)
- 400 Air Presses
Mosey back to the start and then time was called. Sweat was sweated. Thanks for the opportunity to lead men. Aye!

It’s late in the month so need to get these BB’s in for accounting purposes. So let’s hit the highlights.
- Alma Mater is a brand new man that arrives early for workouts
- The PAX ran the Wells Fargo route.
- To the question of forward or reverse, it was forward. I call the reverse route the Wachovia route (after I referred to Wells Fargo as Wachovia one day, which it hadn’t been for many years)
- You don’t have to jump in the road and can stay on the sidewalk in front of the new storage facility being built
- Roscoe is a beast, already running strong-paced 5 mile routes after returning from injury
- Waterboy remains the most interesting person in F3 Gastonia
- During prayer requests, Roscoe started playing “Tobacco Road” by David Lee Roth
- Somehow in talking through addiction, YHC brought up Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love”; pretty sure that was planted in their heads all day like it was mine
YHC took us out in prayer
Until next week…
Here are the highlights from the penultimate running of The Halfpipe for the season.
- Good to see Stroganoff back on the hills of The Halfpipe
- At one point, a mini Q vs Q broke out when YHC deffered to Sargento and let him lead the PAX (of 2) through the neighborhood
- Many discussion points including investment advice, prayer requests, and other stuff that I don’t remember at this point but were important at the time
- The one discussion that has stuck with me was who would win in a battle if they were Mortal Kombat characters, John Wick or James Bond
YHC prayer us out.
NOTE: There is one more week of legitimacy for The Halfpipe. At that point, it drops into obscurity as a rouge off-the-books AO set to return next year to train the mind and body for race season.
Until next week…

Q Source:
Ephesians 6:18 ESV
[18] praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
From “A Praying Life” by Paul Miller: “Jesus’ example teaches us that prayer is about relationship. When He prays, He is not performing a duty; He is getting close to his Father. Any relationship, if it is going to grow, needs private space, time together without an agenda, where you can get to know each other. When it comes to spending time with God, take baby steps. Don’t set impossible goals and then collapse. Consistency is more important than length. Regardless of how or when you pray, if you give God the space, He can touch your soul. God knows you are exhausted, but at the same time He longs to be part of your life.”
Thanks for the opportunity to lead..good group!
