HIPAA’s PainLab

YHC was doing the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb this day.

Thankfully, HIPAA stepped up to Q.

They looked like they were working hard when we met up to clown car to the event.

If you want to know what they did, you shoulda been there.

Pushing Power @ Neverland

YHC has been on a plateau for about 6-7 weeks now. Inspired by Defib’s upcoming challenge, the PAX running halfs, and the Pax tackling the Tuna, YHC decided today we would up the cardio at Neverland.

YHC arrived in Neverland to find Dirt off doing EC and many regulars sitting snug in their vehicles. While stretching, Wet Nutz indicated he hoped to have at least one FNG.

Alas 0530 hit, with no FNG, so only the abbreviated disclaimer was provided…

Pledge.

Warm-up:
5 Burpees OYO

The real work:
Mosey to ramp behind the soon-to-be Planet Fitness.
Bear Crawl the ramp and then do 30 IW single count.
Repeat.
Somewhere in here, YHC was informed the FNG had in-fact appeared and a more formal introduction to F3 was given by the PAX that had seen him and brought him along. (Thanks to all involved)

Mosey back around the building, down to Union Rd and over to Fidelity Bank.
20 Merkins, Lap around the building and then 20 CDDs
Repeat, but this time go around the island behind the bank too.

Mosey on down Union to Rivermont Dr. with instructions to stop at the 4-way stop. I guess one homeowner is not used to runners in the gloom and nearly took a few of the PAX backing out of their driveway. (Easy Rider almost needed to be renamed Trunk Rider.)
Perform squats while waiting on the six. Once all were present…
20 Squats

Mosey down Valleywood, past maintenance shack and on toward the concession stand, stopping at a set of bleachers.
20 Calf Raises – Feet shoulder width.
20 Calf Raises – Feet wide
20 Calf Raises – Feet together

Mosey to picnic shelter.
20 dips
Run around 3rd island
20 step-ups each leg.

Many PAX expected a repeato, but Outhouse reminded YHC of some toys found during The Sammich, so let’s mosey to the entrance of the Park, switching to a nur about 1/2 way.
30 flutters single count.

Mosey back to the shopping center.
Partner-up with P1 pickup a sandbag holding the temporary fence.
While P1 carries sandbag to other end of parking lot and back, P2 perform SSH.
Flapjack.
Repeat.

Once the sandbags were back close to how we found them, mosey back to Snoballs.

Easy Rider led flutters while YHC retrieved my phone.

To put the cherry on this, 5 Burpees, run around the building (longest way) and 5 more burpees.

YHC called it about 90 sec early to give time for the FNG…

Welcome FNG Trey Pruitt, now known as Tin Cup.

Announcements:
Defib’s 40/50 Challenge starts Friday. (2250 calories in, post 40 of 50 days)

YHC took us out.

Moleskin:
Thanks to all the posted this morning. Thanks especially to the PAX that paced with Tin Cup.

I really appreciate the push, encouragement, and support given. I wouldn’t be where I am at from where I was without all of you.

Watts Up powering down.

Enter Catchy PainLab Title Here!

YHC had Q for the first time in a while. Thankfully the Pax has wanted to Q and cover my various absences. In trying to come up with what to do, my first thought was a game similar to one Radar has used on a Q a while back. But, the YHC wasn’t sure there is enough challenges the way YHC has it setup right now. So, we went with Pain-Stations. YHC setup 16 or maybe 18 parking space Pain-Stations the Schieles. Do the exercise listed and transition to the spot across.

The transitions were:
Bear Crawl
Crab Walk
Lunge Walk
Side Lunge
Also done were:
Skipping
Karaoke

The Stations:
10 Burpees
20 Merkins
25 CDDs
25 Plank Jacks
20 Curls Each Arm
20 Presses
20 Ball Slams
15 Kettle Bell Swings
25 LBCs
25 Flutter Kicks (Dbl Cnt)
25 Squats
15 Crunchy Frogs
20 American Hammers (Dbl Cnt)
25 Moroccan Nightclubs (Dbl Cnt)
25 Calf Raises
15 Squat Imperial Walkers
25 PAX Choice

All exercises were OYO/ U vs. U.

It was good to see everyone push themselves.

Good work!

In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

People who drink can’t estimate

So, YHC had the Q at The Sammich today and came rolling in to find 2 regulars, and 1 off doing EC. Soon thereafter, another regular eater rolled in. Figuring we were about set, YHC prepared to rollout.

Then YHC realized there was a familiar truck parked up near where participants of Neverland/Labyrinth park. Surely this was not a F3 guy as he only knows how to drink on Thursdays.

What should appear out of the gloom but a Pubber!

0530 hit and HIPAA was just rolling in from his EC. So we did the pledge and a trip around the building while he transitioned.

The we headed up Robinwood. Most thought we were headed to the stairs behind Robinson Elementary, but not today!

We continued to the Teeter. There at every corner-ish we did 5 squats and 5 merkins. Along the way, the Pubber was talking to YHC about the BRR and how there was a hill steeper than Gastone’s. It was “on the way back”, would put us behind Robinson Elementary and was approx 1.5 miles back to Snoballs.

Given we had 30 mins left, YHC thought why not…

Well…

We rolled in at 0620.

Sorry to all for the extra time.

Announcements were covered.

The Pubber took us…

Moleskin:
The new route was good and will be used again, just need to adjust the time at the Teeter

Thanks to all for the work and the opportunity to lead

I guess even Pubbers need to eat sometime…

Watts Up powering down.
