It’s not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don’t even exercise.

I’m moving on from Chevy Chase quotes as backblast titles for a bit. I was inspired by The Princess Bride the other night, so we’re going with that for a while.

Nice crowd for a gray, moist morning. Semi ran all the way from Calvary to SCMS to use his private bathroom as a pre-run, then joined us just after a great disclaimer. Believe me. It was great. Really good. Have you heard the term “disclaimer”? I just came up with that this week. It’s great.

Slow mosey through the parking lot. Circle up for a cursory warmup – none of this clock killing burpee ladder stuff that you may have seen at other workouts this morning. Then over the rockpile near the ballfield. Partner up and pick a really big rock. CMIYC to the big Calvary sign at the corner of Rea and 51 – partner 1 runs with the rock, partner 2 does 7 HR merkins then catches partner 1. Flapjack and repeat to the sign.

Mosey down to Davie Park. Gather in the driveway. Run to the clubhouse, stopping at each light post for 10 squat jumps or 10 CDDs. Run back with the same thing. Over to the playground for partner hot laps. Partner 1 does the exercise while partner 2 runs the hot lap around the median. Four laps each by the end. Mosey over to the field (the real grass one; I had my eyes on the proturf field, but a soccer team beat us to it). 10 reps in cadence of the called exercise, then AYG to the other side. We did about 10 reps with a new guy calling the exercise every time. Clock killer? No way. The weinke clearly said, “Warmup, CMIYC, go to Davie Park, do stuff, back to CMIYC at Calvary, Mary”. Perfectly planned and executed.

Notes and observations:
I tagged Birmingham because we had an FNG (guest of High Tide) from Birmingham. We gave him a solid nickname, Jessup (former Marine), so he could take it home with some Charlotte street cred. F3 is just getting started in Birmingham; Jessup said he’d post down there.

Semi Gloss spent the first half of the workout panting and stretching after his pre run, then the rest complaining.

Lots of RFYLers out this morning. I think we bothered them on the run back to the church. Or maybe it was just me when the tree branch I pulled to get Geraldo wet got them too.
