Bear Squats at a Prison-themed Workout

Bear Squats at a Prison-themed Workout

A crew of Mecklenburg’s finest rolled into the Pineville PD parking lot this morning to put in some work. 12 other random dudes showed up too for a wild ride around the charming little town in the southwestern corner of the county. Whim and Daisy answered the 0500 bell for a 2.5 mi preview prerun.

Heres what went down:

Out of the PPD lot we took a right on 51, crossed the tracks, and hung a left behind the buildings for COP.

Imperial Walkers, SSH, Low slow squats, Merkins. All x15IC

We dodged some commuter traffic and crossed back over 51 at Johnston. We took a quick mosey loop around the downtown block together – noting the corner of Johnston and Childers St. as “the spot”. From 51, down Johnston to the rec center, it’s about half a mile. We alternated AYG/jog at each side street on the right, which totaled 3 hot, 3 cold.

We planked at community center lot to regroup and stumbled upon a women’s fitness group in full swing. The lady in charge invited us to join, to which we quickly counter-offered inviting them to join us. After some awkward bodily noises and smells, we dipped out to track around lake for a hot CMIYC partner lap. 7 HR merkins.

We did some mary in rec center lot- probably too close to the fitness group for comfort (theirs, not ours).

Headed back up Johnston alternating the sprint/jog at each side street on the left. Regroup at “the spot”.

We partnered back up for some hot laps around downtown, with P1 running the lap and P2 doing the  called exercise.

1. Lap 1 mountain climbers.
2. Lap 2 bear squats
3. Lap 3 monkey humpers
4. Lap 4 Makhtar N’Diaye

Indian run back to the lot. Quick AYG out and back in the PPD parking lot.

Moleskinny:

Temps were +/-35 degrees warmer this Monday than last week. Guys were getting after it in a workout that leaned heavier on the running.

Nemo and Whim lit up the streets heading down Johnston to the lake. Nemo never let off the gas all morning. Being 15 has its perks. Thin Mint was more methodical in his lurking and smoked everyone down the stretch.

If my math’s on, we had 2 “Respects” out there this morning. Marlin was crushing it and didn’t let Nemo get too far out of sight. One-and-Done may need a rename. He’s back. Strong effort coming off the Berlin marathon, my man.

Pulp Fiction has never seen Pulp Fiction. Too many one-liners in that movie to count. Pretty sure I’m on probation of some sort – otherwise I’d risk my online credentials with some good Sam Jackson quotes. Sound off in the comments with your fave.

Banana Boat was up front all morning. He doesn’t know if he was named after sunscreen or a man-thong. Can you help?

Private Benjamin has one of the longer names out there. Although, I can relate to being named after “your favorite movie.” Thanks, Splinter, wherever you are. Dude was getting after it this morning- strong as an ox.

Daisy quickly put an end to my thoughts of “relaxing for 30 minutes in the truck if no one shows up for the prerun”. Him and Whim got a couple bonus miles through P-town.

Dumpster Fire and Cheddar have a gold mine on their hands. If you’ve never posted at The Big House, come check it out. This AO has more unique territory than anywhere around- plus, I’d unanimously votebit “AO least likely to have your car broken into”.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

peace and luv,
