I have been Slack on alot of things lately , some my fault, some just a series of unfortante events. either way time to get back right!

Ezekiel 18:21-23

“But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.

Praise be to God ! he will always let you comeback.

Everyone ran and made it back safe !

Nice cool morning at Folsom!  Start of Mechanics week at the land of beards and Pick up trucks went like this.

Warm-up:  I don’t remember. 🤷‍♂️ normal stuff

Thang: Ok today we have a engine job and we have to take our engine BLOCK to Shelby to drop it off.  Mosey to the Block pile, grab your block.  Folling the paved path we stopped a few times to do 10 reps of triceps, curls, rows(10 each arm), squats.  We made all the way to the Bottom of Round ups Hill.  We dropped Blocks off and ran back to top of hill for 10 Burpees, back to the bottom for 10 WW3. This continued for 3 rounds.  We picked up block and in a similar fashion with stops for triceps, curls, rows, and squats ;  we made our way back to block pile.

With a few minutes left we moseyed to the tennis courts for some Mary and Carry with tires.

Time!

Not to toot my own horn but with only 3 of my original 6 runners and a van retal cancellation at the last miniute, i pulled together and we ALMOST beat the A team(90 secs). Special thanks to all my runners and especially those that came on last minute. And a special special thanks to Montross for doing most of the hard stuff..like Van rental and hotel reservations. It was funny Montross telling the Hotel lady and some guys named Breaker Breaker and Orangeman where checking in early and it was cool to use his card.😂
My 3 alternates where Oompa Lumpa, Goodwrench and John from Lincolnton. Oompa in his typical old/hard/ancient/badass/old Marine self knocked out his 2 legs with out a much as a grumble or complaint. Goodwrench (F3 Isotope) had 2 sub 7 min runs one almost 9 miler and a 7.5. And ole big John (Mr. i run 40 miles a week-thanks Sparky!) Killed his 2 legs sub 7s also. The only faux-pas we had was ole Maybeline was chilling in the van with the a/c on when Goodwrench came rolling in after leg 9 🤦‍♂️. Goodwrench never stopped, he kept on running and we caught up to him after he ran about 1/4 of Maybeline’s leg! 🤣 It was hot and the last 6 legs we kept a close eye in everyone and even gave out a ton of water to who ever was in need along the way. I had the Glory Leg so as I come around the conner they announce our team name and i am expecting to see my team waiting to run across the finish line with me, but these fools are already eating pizza and drinking beers so I crossed alone. Thanks Guys. Afterwards almost all my team when home. Me and Montross stayed and took a self guided tour of Downtown Greenville. We found some Grub and a cool Karaoke bar where we people watched and had a few cold ones! It was awesome and I want to do it again but aint no way I’m Q’n it…NOPE! 😂

I was kinda of tapering running for the Ville to Ville this week so I jumped on a Q at the Labyrinth. Trying to Spread around the Dirty BJ’s at all the AOs. Everyone pushed hard and loved the Blockies. Playlist was pretty good and the speaker didn’t die.

I resurrected my Q vs Q workout from ’23. We did Double Dirty 11s. Using the bar down on 2nd Ave we did Inverted rows (pullups) and Inclined mercians 1-11. half way to south street on the manhole we did 5 jungle boy squats , and at the corner we did big boys and hand release merkins 11-1. This work out ALMOST pulled the upset to Shortsales Office Depot/Kinkos/14 page instruction work out …whatever🤷‍♂️😂. Everyone pushed hard and even Dr. Suess said i should have won!!

4 ran, 1 rucked and 1 did a bootcamp/running kinda thing. We talked about the empty tomb. The Resurrection is real! Thanks be to GOD!!!

What is easter with out the easter bunny? well i dont know about a easter bunny, but guess what kind of bunny comes to Folsom??????

This was basicly watered down IPC week 4. IPC week 4 is what took out my back/sacrum for 6 months. I had to get back on the horse. Block work and Murder bunnys for 45 mins. It was great..

Also Bob the Builder showed up at 6:10 asking why nobody was at Poston park at 5:30…. we had a lesson in the difference in AM and PM.

We had a little field trip to Jaggers Park (D-block) to play some ball. Pockets team won the first game to 11, Brokes team made an amazing comeback in the 2nd game with Volt making the game winning shot! (Now Volt had not hit the backboard or the rim in the first game). Gumby had 38 rebounds and 47 steals, everyone had fun and most got in a 5k. Ill try for better weather/court conditions next time.

Earlier this week I told Ponyboy if nobody else wanted Saturday I would take it. So Friday was nasty rainy, and it looked like it might continue into the morning so my original plan of cool stuff on the soccer field was axed in favor of a block beatdown in the Picnic Shelter. My latest Favorite Q … The Dirty BJ! I think I want to try and get a Dirty BJ at all the AOs…this maybe my new goal for 2024..stay tuned.

Warmup: 6:30 cirle up around the shovel flag in the bottom parking lot Normal stuff..taint strech, SSH, etc…

Thang: Mosey to the FFR(Ford F’n Ranger) and grab a block. Point of note the FFR was parked about half way-ish up the parking lot. Tote your block down to the Shelter.
First up a quick little warm up: triple nickel–use the picnic tables. 3 exercises, 5 rounds, 10 reps: Dirkins, Dips, Step ups.
Block work: Curls, Triceps, Rows, Squats, Block Merkins(one each side), WW3’s ..10 reps. Then mosey to the FFR grab another block and do 1 blockiee. come back and do 9 reps, mosey 2 blockiees, etc… Kinda of a combination of Sheldon Cooper and 11s I call it the Dirty BallJoint. I turn on the blue tooth speaker and we went to work. GearWrench didn’t like my Walen Jennings and Hank JR, so i had to turn it on the Rage Against the Machine channel. With just a few Minutes left we did some Mary&Carry from the shelter to carry our blocks back to the FFR.

Time!
