“Can I get a 90 count?”

“Can I get a 90 count?”

I’m not sure if I had more or less attendance after posting a pre-blast stating that we would start the morning with a 1-mile run. Many thought I changed my mind after some crying by Zinfandel in The Playground but I wasn’t willing to budge. That pinky out wine drinker not only threatened to fartsack but asked others to leave a negative rating on Yelp for my personal business. Would I back down from the persona I had created for myself thus far here at F3 of being the PostNoPost Police or would I get soft??

I woke up feeling enlightened and ready to crush whichever PAX showed. Recently adding to my titles with this organization it was important that I set the tone after being named the newest Site Q. I strapped on my white and baby blue, size 14 ass kickers and the Q juice was coursing through my veins…

And wouldn’t you know it, the Briarcrest caravan was the first to arrive. After all that mouth Zinfandel showed and was towards the front of the pack during the run.  After the run, he wished Breadbowl was there to give a nice and slow “90 count”! There was a bit of whining from Fusebox regarding multiple items but mostly because he was not informed I was co-site Q… the man needs a hug. Those gigantic sweats he is wearing in the morning now are weighing down his ability to laugh anymore.

Moving along, we had 15 PAX show up at Watchtower even though they knew how it would start.  My goal today was to get in around 3 miles of running and we used every ounce of this location to achieve that goal!

The Thang:

1 mile run around Target shopping center, down HWY 84 and back to Target parking lot.  A bit of mumble chatter during the run, that was about to be squashed!!

Circle up: We were already warm, let’s make this quick.

• IC 30-SSH
• 20-Potato pickers
• Leg stretch
• 10-Merkins

Suicide squat/merkin ladder (AKA mumble chatter killer): This was not fun!! 6 trees total.

Start in Target parking lot:

• 1 Merkin/4 Squats – run to the end of the parking lot to last (6th) tree, 2 Merkins/8Squats – Run back to start, 3 Merkins/12 squats – Run to the 5th tree, 4Merkins/16..etc until the 1st tree.

In all most of us did 91 merkins and 364 squats. I called recover before Fuse could get his last two Merkins… Pretty sure he turned green and almost ripped his shirt off.

Four corners: Well it turned into 3 corners (audible) – We just did 91 merkins!

Start in Target parking lot:

• 5 merkins at every other corner. Totaling 105… We were all gassed – 7 mins to go!!

Mosey to Brooklyn Pizza – The long way!! Remember it’s all about the miles!!

Partner up: 50 dips, 50 step ups, 10 burpees – Total between both partners

P1 – run around the building while P2 does the above.  Flapjack until done.

1.5 mins to go!! Run around the parking lot twice – We hit 3.06 miles.  Nice work guys!!

The Moleskin:

I may have hyped up the workout a bit and mentioned it would be a Moneyball style work out and I think it was close.  My goal during each workout is to keep up with the lead guy and today it was Bottlecap.  Did I keep up, no, but I tried. Taking advantage of his gimpy leg I kept up with Moneyball. I think if I put a weighted vest on Bottlecap I could keep up, Fuse what do you think? A wise man once said “the 6 is just temporary housing” and today some of the Clydesdales pushed hard and may be looking for a permanent home in the middle or front of the pack!

I learned quickly that it’s not good to show your hand before the workout happens…Lots of whining.  Doughboy is on Fuse’s hit list for lack of communication.  All the pax did excellent today and are getting much faster.  Be warned if you get new shoes you may be heckled by Bottlecap and Moneyball, FYI Dana has some on order!!
