Tell me something I don’t know!

It was a glorious day to lead some HIM at the hottest AO this side of Crowders Mountain. Not nuclear type hot but warm enough to get a good sweat on. The regulars were waiting in the shade, breathing deep the aroma from the turdshack. My henchman Queso even tagged along for some afternoon rock pushing before he heads off to The East Carolina University. This is what happened…

Time was called. Introductions were given. Disclaimers were proclaimed.

Pledge of Allegiance

Warm was Merkins and Goofballs and almost Burpees. What more did we need?

Mosey down the way to the long open parking lot for some 11’s. Lunges on one side, Big Boys on the other. The king of the super long, in cadence, squat warmup Virus joined us not long after we started this routine. Welcome!

Head over to the small soccer field for a version of the ATM. We did the shoulder thing but the high point, IMO, is that YHC was able to successfully do Shoulder Taps for the first time in 10 months! Please hold your applause.

Mosey toward the ultimate frisbee arena for some itchy grass work. The Hurricane Hoedown! On you 6 and do 7 IC reps of Flutterkicks with 1) arms raised, 2) arms behind you, 3) reclined 4) normal 5) LBFCs. Next round, do 6 reps, next 5 and so on. Between each round YHC had the bright idea to ask each PAX something about each other that no one knows. The winner has to be that in 2nd grade at school Defib broke a glass windowpane over top of his head! OUCH!!!

Mosey back to the start for some Jack Webb via Route 66 doing squats. That’s right, just do a squat, 4 air presses and then lunge 5 steps. increase by 1 each round with x4 on the air presses. We did this until time was called.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead and for putting up with me men. It’s good to be back!!! AYE!

Announcements: Tuna 200 needs 2 more runners and 1 van driver, 2nd F lunch next Wednesday at Belmont Pita Wheel, Convergence Labor Day monday, Coconut Derby, Peak to Peak hike

Waterboy may be the most interesting man in the world

This morning’s run at the PUB was a now infamous route called the Defib route, or is the reverse Defib route?

Gaston Day School Road, left on White Willow, Right on Willow Creek Drive, Left on Riding Trail, left on Windyrush, right on Hudson, left on Robinwood (part of gut check), left of Hoffman and back to start.  There was discussion post run about which way is more awful.  YHC believes this is the worst as their are numerous hills but YHC had on his HRB t-shirt.  (Hill running…..Brother?)  Whoopee wasn’t there.  YHC was looking forward to seeing where and how he parked and if he would admire my shirt.

Waterboy is taking a vacation to officiate a wedding and is going to live off the land with his M for a few days in a remote National Park on the water.  Think Blue Lagoon.  There was talk of Fox poaching to gain the pelts and craft a loin cloth.   These foxes are so sly they can unzip a backpack and climb trees.

JJ joined us at the end as he played the role of enforcer for the first four miles before joining us.  #sandbagger

Bandit handled the BB for the Diablo Sammich.

Prayers for Turtleman, Huck, Norwood, Hacksaw

Respect at Ground Assault

It was a near perfect morning in Belmont for a run or ruck. Three ruckers (all respect age) took off on their normal route. Termite and YHC took off to run the route posted on slack. Termite stopped at his truck for a moment and then got a kill while I was running up the hill on Main St. BOS and Tesla did their own thing while they train for different events. Termite either missed a turn or took one on purpose to get some more hills so he got another kill when he past me again. I was the youngest PAX this morning by about 12 years but felt good keeping Termite’s flashing red lights in view ahead of me in the distance. I think he took it easy this morning as he will most likely run tomorrow too. We all came back in one piece in time for COT, some got coffee after.

Watts Up with Linus’ Q

Heard at F3 this morning……
Maybelline:  If I was a teacher, I’d probably fall asleep in the classroom.
Seuss:  Yeah, I do that a lot.

Also, Bubba Sparxx pole does not spin?  Speculation resulted in maybe it’s an older model or maybe even a fireman’s pole?  Also, what?

Shout out to Watts Up for keeping me honest and on my toes.
