Is this Mountain Goat?

Is this Mountain Goat?

17 PAX posted on a pleasant somewhat muggy morning to partake in YHC’s Maul Q.

With the disclaimer duly given, we were off…

Warm up jog around the parking lot and COP

SSH (Side Straddle Hop) x 20

IW (Imperial Walker) x 10

The Thang:

Sprint the length of the backside of the strip mall. At finish line we did as many “LCB’s” aka LBC’s as we could fit in until the six was in.

Mosey to St Matthews where we did 20 Curls, 20 overhead triceps, 20 overhead pushups using a rock x 2

1 loop around the church with 10 merkins or “LCB’s” at each corner.

Mosey to the upper parking lot where we did wind sprints to each of the speed bumps. 10 count between each sprint. We did this 10 times. Dumpster Fire made the comment that it felt an awful lot like Mountain Goat. I agreed.

Indian Run back down Elm Ln.

We used the median on Elm Ln to do a little Plankers Delight. PAX planked shoulder to shoulder, while groups of 3 went down the line doing two hand slap merkin’s with each man.

 Then run back to the parking lot.

We had enough time to do two more wind sprints the length of the Regal Theater parking lot.

Done. Official mileage 2.86 miles.

The Moleskin:

Excellent effort by everybody today. I’m not a runner but I’d like to be. Did you know that if you are 40 and over and can run under a 9 minute mile it reduces your cost for life insurance? Naw, I really don’t think that is necessarily true but it couldn’t hurt. I turn 40 this year. I’ll let you know.

Fire Hazard was up front all morning. Cheddar and Private Benjamin were right with him on the wind sprints. The time seemed to fly by. We were pretty stinkin’ close to 3 miles. Next time.

I’m guessing Plankers Delight has never been done on the center median on Elm Ln. There’s a first time for everything. You can say you were there and felt the burn.

When I Q it’s important to me that the PAX get their money’s worth. I judge by how hard guys are breathing throughout the workout and how sweaty everybody is at the end. Mission accomplished today. It wasn’t all fun at the time but I hope you are thankful for it and glad you pushed yourself. It gives a sense of accomplishment… Makes that drive home at 6:21ish (while most of the world is still asleep or just getting up) so refreshing. One thing checked off the list.

It was an honor to lead you guys. I appreciate Cheddar and Commish for giving me the opportunity and look forward to posting with all of you again, soon.

Dumpster Fire… Thank you for taking us out. Well said. I predict DF to be the next Mayor of Pineville. Just remember where you heard it first. DF for Mayor!! He’d be a great one.

Play hard, play smart, play together… Carolina Way.
