3 PAX came out to Currahee in the first day of below freezing temps of the season. YHC took the Q with a lead from behind directions style. Route: Left down Pump, turn L on Falconbridge and over to Deep Run, around lake and back via Ridgefield. 3 min of stretching and then COT. NMS: YHC pulled in first at 5:26 and wondered whether this would be a cold Solo run. Luckily Handshake and Gypsy pulled in to make the gloom tolerable.
5 guys showed up this morning to take on a basketball themed workout. COP — SSH, Smurf Jacks, PLank Jacks, AST’s, flutterkicks, arm circles, DQ’s (not in that order) Never ending 4 corners offense — corner 1 — 10 merkins, run past the rest of the corners to get to the startcorner 1 — 10 merkins, corner 2 — 20 split jacks, head back to the startcorner 1 — 10 merkins, corner 2 — 20 split jacks, corner 3 — 30 flutterkicks, back to the startcorner 1 — 10 merkins, corner 2- 20 split jacks, corner 3 — 30 flutterkicks,…
10 Pax launched at various times, with various distances, and from multiple locations; but they all converged at the end. Routes varied, but here is one used by the 530 crowd. West on Grove, right on Libbie, right on Patterson, right on Malvern, right on Grove. aka the Zoolander route. YHC took us out. While everyone ran alone or in pairs, it was great to converge at the end to catch up and some levity (as always). YHC’s 2.0 enjoyed the run today and we hope to see him back out soon.
Four New Marketers, and one Rountrey Beast soldiered through the cold morning in a Hot potato that finished with some POG strategery (a la GWB) to avoid the Backblast. In his spirit, I will add what I know his backblast would have consisted of. “Five guys got up and worked out”. (More to come on how he avoided the recap.) But First… Honeymoon kicked things off hot with the potato in his hands. Warmup: DQ, Imperial Walkers, Jazzercise, SSH, Deadman Hang, Merkins, 6in to LBC, Freddie Mercury, Plank The Thang: Mosey to the benches out front. 10x dips, 10x incline…
2 Davillians decided to skip the hill repeat this morning at VCC and post at the normal spot for Tomato Run. YHC has been MIA for most of October with a sinus infection then late nights with the MLB Playoffs. Infection is most gone and the Braves won the WS so time to get back out there. Knowing that hill repeats would be a great ideal run to return to, YHC decided to reach to Opus about running at Rutland. He agreed and plan was made YHC pulled into the parking lot at 5:27 with no Opus to be found.…
YHC was contacted by Phonics to set up the Tomato Run Time trial site where we have hill repeats as it has been awhile since we have had a morning run at this special location. Here is what went down: YHC shows up, then Phonics and we were expecting Opus as he had the suggestion for this event this morning…so @ 5:31 we left for the hill workout location. This route is perfect in that you get about 1 mile warm up and start at the top of the hill right after you cross I-95 and take a left on…
6 men, all hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, arrived on a cold morning in November to learn the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer called ‘The Forge,’ specially built for this purpose. The answer? 42. 42 side straddle hops, then Don Quixotes on your own as YHC recounted one of his favorite stories from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. A modified birthday beast was concocted: 6 times 7 reps up and down Mt Chaplain. 6 times 7 mirkins, jump squats, WW2s, lunges (with an intermission of 42 jerkins on the lower rail), box cutters, and burpees.…
Light Warm-up. Then KB exercises with some added Burpees and a short run. For warm-up; SSHs, Russian Soldiers, Don Quixote, stretch, around the world KB. 20 Swings, 20 Curls 15 Sit and Press 20 Triceps 5 Burpees (in honor of Homer) 20 Rows 20 Press 20 Squats Run to the end of the driveway and back. 15 each arm Renegade Rows 15 each leg lunges 15 each arm Lawnmowers 5 Burpees (additional honors for Homer) 10 each arm one arm presses 10 each direction Halos 15 each arm Snatches Run to the end of the driveway and back. We repeated…
Two mighty Pax loaded bricks in the sack and headed off into the gloom to discuss the events of the world, and maybe just solve a few. A great time was had with a ruck just shy of two hours.
The PAX emerged out of the gloom to gather for 45MOM. As they arrived, each PAX member was not certain they had the right day or time as the recently well-lit parking lot was completely empty. We can attribute that to either courtesy on PAX’s part or misunderstanding of the ever changing parking rules. To make it less stressful, there is no school today (or this week) in RPS. Nonetheless, 6 did emerge from the gloom to take on a hot potato Q (with TYA running patrols around the neighborhood). COP – Pucker kicked us off with some SSHs, Don…
