A Little Jam on Thanksgiving Morning

A Little Jam on Thanksgiving Morning

16.2 PAX from SOB, Area 51 and UC gathered at the fountains of Blakeney Shopping Center on a chilly Thanksgiving morning in anticipation of Devil’s Jam. A disclaimer was given and we were off. Mosey to the back parking lot near 131 Main for:

COP:

SSH x 10, 5 merkings OYO, IW x 10, 10 merkins OYO, LSS x 10

MOLESKIN:

Mosey to the corner of Fieldcroft Drive and Blakeney Heath Rd. This was our base for the boot camp portion of the workout. At base, diamond merkins (6 reps), run up Blakeney Health to the rock pile, grab a lifting rock for curls (16 reps) then run to the playground on the corner of Blakeney Dr for pull ups (6 reps). One way back to base stop to for set of rock curls (16 reps). At base, 6 more diamond merkins. Repeat for 3 rounds.

After the lifting stuff was done, it was time to get in some miles. Run down Blakeney Heath Rd, to Ardrey Kell, left on Ardrey Kell to Rea Rd, make a left and go up Rea Rd. and try and make it to Parks Farm Lane. At each street corner stop and do 6 merkins.

At 7:15 everyone turn around and return to the fountains for mary.  Exercises chosen by various PAX. Haggis (heels to heaven) Crab Cakes (American hammer), Wingman (dolly), Bratwurst (side plank leg lift) and then someone chose some merkin type activity (I had to run to get my phone) and we were done.

MOLESKIN

As promised we would lift things, and run at least 3 miles. We made it to 4.5 miles. Everyone pushed hard. It was great to see 2.0s: Messi (Bunker) and Howie (Bratwurst).  I was able to keep up with Howie for a short while but there was no way I could hang with Messi. The next generation of F3 looks strong.

There was a cross section of SOBs, UCs and Area 51 guys. It was good to see Crab Cake again, I forgot how much he complains about running. The UC was well represented and as always the SOB guys were in force.

The .2 were calculated as Haggis and Frasier. Apparently they had their own “track” workout that started at 6am and Haggis joined us for mary and the COT.

We ended the morning with each PAX expressing what they were thankful for: God’s faithfulness, a new set of twins on the horizon, F3 fellowship, and family topped the list.

As always, it is a humbling privilege to lead a great group of men. Happy Thanksgiving y’all. I am ready to eat!!!
