15 PAX posted during a cool afternoon at Midoriyama. It’s always strange when the temps start to drop. YHC came in hot due to his M being delayed at work. T-claps to Pizza Man for leading off with the warmup. I’m not sure what all they did but they were doing burpees when I rolled in. It appeared everyone was good to go so we started to mosey.

The Thang:

We went down to the farthest soccer field for sprint intervals. It’s Tuna 200 week for some of us so I thought we all could do some prep work. We did some form of these numerous times.

Sprint to the 50 and jog to the other end

Sprint to the other end, jog back to the 50 and walk it out to the end.

Sometimes we started with 5 high knee jumps or 5 plyometric merkins. We did this for about 15 minutes give or take then went to the big hill at the dog park.

Alternating lunges up the hill and walk back down.

Left leg only lunges up the hill and walk back down. Rinse and repeat with the right leg.

Walk backwards up the hill and backwards down several times.

Sprint up and down several times.

Back to the sprint intervals. We did the same ones several more times before we started heading back. On the way back we did intervals from light pole to light pole then we finished with a cool down mosey to the park entrance and back.

COT:

SFN Christmas Town race at 37. Get signed up if you are not already! Come out to the advisory meetings and help run this thing. We are closing in on the year end and it is time for some HIM’s to step up and take on some leadership positions.

Pledge

Prayer Request- F3 Brother and family in Area 51 who lost their son, Coach K’s family member lost a child, Lil Sweets young family member received a kidney transplant. All the guys on the road this weekend for the Tuna 200.

Moleskin:

Everyone pushed hard today! Those sprints got the breathing going. Especially the full field distance. I was hoping Ash Pond was going to merlot but he fought it back. The morning after I’m regretting this a little. My knee is killing me! Def Leppard may have to run some of my race legs this weekend. It seems lately I’ve been feeling it a little more. Maybe it’s turning 38?

17  Men including 1 FNG(wait no 18 because we can’t count) showed up at Midoriyama for a beatdown. This is how it went.

Disclaimer-These guys are idiots and I’m the brightest one out here so we are all in trouble!

Warmup:

Pledge

Don Q’s x 10ic

SSH x 10ic

Merkins x 2ic Yes that says 2. I’ve been having elbow issues and have been avoiding these. I figured I would just mess with everyone and just make them get down so they would have to get back up again.

Everyone grab two freshly purchased bricks out of my truck and let’s mosey!

The Thang:

We went to the side of the farthest soccer field. Run across with a brick, do 10 Turkish getups and run back. Rinse and repeat to the next field. Then again to farthest side of the next field. Then again to the top of the far Hill. 40 total Turkish Getups. Some guys really struggled with the Turkish Getup concept but managed to work it out by the end. Good Work! At this point we were going to use the little soccer field but a game was in process so back to where we started for some Wojo sprint work.

Everyone with bricks in hand and a foot on the line sprint all out to the opposite side of the field and fellowship mosey back. Rinse and repeat 3 times. 1 time a few PAX jumped the gun so the rest of us did Merkins while we waited for them to rejoin the team. Blart looked like Usain Bolt gliding across the field. It took me 3 steps to his 1. I felt like he was just toying with me. I’m pretty sure I saw him smiling a little.

Let’s mosey and stash the bricks. Mosey on back to the flag. Slaw brought us the big blocks to use.

Partner up. P1 wall sits. P2 does 5 Blockees. Switch and rinse and repeat until I call time. We did this for 10-15 minutes.

COT:

Announcments- T-Square: Double Amputee doing a ton of marathons coming through our area soon. Go out and run with him for support. More info coming. SFN Christmas town run now at 36! Great job by all on the Burpeethon. Let’s make it even better next year. JJ5K this weekend. 3rdF event coming up details coming.

Namerama: Welcome FNG Brilliant brought to us by Hushpuppy. They are co-workers and he says he will definitely be back. That may depend on Slaw as he seemed to have a man crush since he is a fellow Seiman I mean Seeman wait no Seaman!

Prayer Request-Ash Pond is doing much better! Pockets, PM’s Grandparents in law, Sidecars friend, Our brothers that are struggling with various issues.

Moleskin:

I had a great time out today. I hope it was worth your trip out and you got your money’s worth. Great crowd. Let’s keep it growing!

13 PAX posted Tuesday at Midoriyama. YHC has had a full plate lately and completely forgot he had the Q. Thankfully Tooltime called to tell me he was stuck in traffic and may not make it. He called like he was calling into work….hilarious! During our conversation he advised he was calling in due to me having the Q and the risk of ridicule for missing after his Q at Folsom on Saturday. He made it and I made it so all worked out well! The PAX were warned that if I don’t have anything planned and have to create it on the fly it will probably end badly.

Warmup:

Don Q x 20ic

SSH x 15ic

Don Q’s on the ground x 10ic

Let’s mosey

The Thang:

We moseyed to the field where we keep our blocks. Partner up and one partner gets a block. At this point I think everyone thought we were going to stay there and do something…. Nope! Let’s mosey. Switch the block with your partner when needed. We had an odd number so YHC didn’t have a partner to switch with so that sucked. I was thinking about hitting the trail for a long mosey but that was out. We went to the far side of the far soccer field for some Mary.

Round 1-1 partner runs across the field the other does the exercise. You know how it works.

100-Overhead presses

200-Weighted squats

300-Leg lifts while holding the block up in the air

Round 2-

50-Weighted lunges

100-Curls

150-In/Outs while holding the block over head

Mosey back. Thanks to Pizza Man and Canteen for partnering with me on the way back! Block was getting heavy!

Moleskin:

Everyone pushed hard today. Great job! For those that haven’t Q’d a workout get on the schedule. After you do it a while it becomes second nature. You can just show up and make some pain happen. All in all we covered 2.6 miles and picked some stuff up and put it down.
