That’s all part of the experience, honey.

That’s all part of the experience, honey.

We all know F3 guys who still pay to go a gym or club – Spackler and Jet Fuel have Orange Theory, Hopper has Raintree, Puddin’ Pop has The Lodge. But today, something spectacular happened at The Fishing Hole.

The 7 men who gathered were vigorously disclaimed, then headed over to the parking deck. We did various warmings up on the way up to the top floor where we finished our warm up with the standard IW/MC/Squat trio. Partner up and run down the deck, stopping at each turn for 10 partner derkins or 10 old school situps.

Head out of the deck to the picnic tables in front of the school. 10 jump ups, 10 incline merkins, 10 dips. Repeat with 15 reps then again with 10.

Mosey across the street to the shopping center. Upon reflection, we decided to gather in the lot in front of Planet Fitness to show them what they were missing. On the way in, Margo said the last time he’d been in that parking lot, Haze had come walking out of Planet Fitness. We started dropping a Dirty McDeuce right there in the parking lot – 12 reps of three exercises, then a lap around that median over there. Repeat 4 times total. During our third lap, wouldn’t you know that Haze walks by on his way to his car from the gym. Chelms called it the Walk of Shame. Apparently you don’t get yuge like Haze without actual weight equipment – lifting drainage rocks is not enough. Haze was a good sport, taking the verbal assault from the PAX and joining us for a couple of exercises (not the run though).

We got back to the parking deck and ran out the clock by running the stairs a couple of times, plank walk with merkins and some protractor.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, guys. Fun crowd this morning. My week of Qs wraps up on Saturday – Cooter (not the Metro or Huntersville one) and I are splitting the Q at RockZero. This is his VQ – I’ve seen his Weinke, and it’s magnificent.

Announcements:
Sign up for the Crane Relay. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
If you prefer beer with your running, check out the #beerrun channel on Slack. 8/18 at noon – 6 breweries, 4 miles. We did it last year and had a great time sweating on the millenials at the breweries.
