The clock struck 0430 and off the Running Dead went. New route unlocked by YHC for 5 Miles (see snapshot below). Lots of announcements so see Slack. Strong mumble chatter this morning. Enjoyed the run and fellowship :

No preblast since I didn’t know I was going until 4:50 am. 3ish miles, bb title inspired by a coworker that found out that I run solo without headphones “like some kind of psychopath”. Breakfast club will be back strong next week with the SOJ takeover.
Four stalwarts and Crucible regulars arrived at Blackwell Elementary this morning to a kettlebell beatdown but… Some of us had aching backs and we didn’t have any of the newer guys so we did some stretching and decided to go for a run. We ran to the river, crossed the T-Pot, then the Pipeline Trail (JC’s first time) and over the temporarily closed Mayo Bridge. YHC is not a huge fan of running on that bridge what with the narrow lanes, the maniac drivers and the two-inch curb that would be hardly noticeable to a distracted driver. It was a…
A small hoard of eager 2.0’s and exhausted Dad’s (20 total!) assembled following the Rock&Roll COT. With a handful of M’s on standby, here’s how we had some “fun”… The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom COP #1: ?WHO CAN CATCH THE Q? …mad scramble to tag YHC, then watch him terrifically wipe out in the wet grass… Variable animal movements across grassy area (bear crawl, kangaroo hops, etc) COP #2: Mosey to tennis court CRABS & BEARS – like sharks and minnows but the crab…

Mosey down to the Rusty Cage for a Dora: 100 Pullups, 200 Squats, 300 SSH. Extended trail run mosey down to bottom of Pipe Loop for Triple check: Run loop, HRMs, & Heels2Heaven.

The magnetic appeal of riding the DTH pain train gathered the masses at Rockwood Park including two more FNG’s headlocked from YHC’s Peds practice. Truly sunny and 70, and narrowly dodging a slippery used condom, here follows the ground and pound endured by these warriors: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Circle up on the basketball court Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom BRING SALLY UP – Merkins for every Up/Down, otherwise plank jacks for duration of the 3:24 song (total x30 merkins) COP #1: Mosey over to the playground TRIPLE CHECK: P1 – Dirty…
7 students at Huguenot High said their farewells to another school year to the tunes of the Dazed and Confused soundtrack. Alright alright alright. Mosey to the flags, warmarama at speed. SSHs, DQs, helicopters, imperial walkers, copperhead squats, mirkins, stretches, LBCs, Rosalita whips (the slightly more kinky version of Rosalita dips). Mosey to the amphitheater for a triple check – timer goes up and around, hand release mirkins, flutter kicks. Box jumps with ascending squats all the way up. Going back down the steps with ascending dips x 3 (3, 6, 9 all the way to 21). Since it wasn’t…
This morning….we had just about everyone going at different times. House Party(I didn’t know was there wasn’t in the usual car) started off at 6. Next was yours truly at 610, then Chaplain and Touchdown at about the usual 630, Florence was the last to arrive(missed the 2 runners). As we returned back to the flag…I met up with Florence(passed and startled House Party). It had been a few weeks since I rucked but felt pretty good. Florence met up with House Party and ventured back. Chaplain and Touchdown finished off their run. We all took the rucks, rested up…
