Don’t Google the definition of merkin.

Seriously, don’t. You’ll have to tell your pastor, which will probably lead to church discipline. I made that mistake this morning. Why do we use that name? Anyways.

Was looking at the internets last night for some off-campus spots and I think found the secret sauce. Cary Ridge is 1/4 mile long. Long enough for the fast guys to stretch it out a little but also short enough that the group doesn’t get too spread out. Add some exercise stops and boom, good little mix of running and exercises. Plus, its only 0.3 miles from Calvary’s entrance 3.

According to my satellites, we ran 3.1 miles with 215 merkins (don’t Google it). The Monkey Humpers were a crowd favorite. Squats start to hurt after you do 40. My arms were shot after the 11’s of Dips/Derkins.

We tried to EH a walker during the Knee-up set after he blinded us all with his head lamp. He was impressed with our Knee-up form. Apparently, Cary Ridge doesn’t get much action at 5:45 in the morning.

Knight Rider, Lobsta Roll, and Simba slaughtered the runs up and down Cary Ridge (#LoveThisSentence). Lots of guys pushing hard out there. We kept the pace up and the group stayed together #TClaps. Brushback got some extra milage by running to the workout (almost an entire mile #CSAUP). Young Love wishes spiderman would show up for the Peter Parker merkins #BigKid #Nerd #MeToo. Mermaid has perfect merkin form. I promise I was not staring at him when he was doing merkins.

I did not have an encounter with a security guard or #AngryWhiteSedan. And no one got hit by a car crossing Colony #OnYourRight! Also, good to see some of my friends show up.

Thanks for the leadership in the Q spot Bushwood. Stong Q and nice to go off campus today. Good crew of 21 strong out today. Hard work demonstrated by all pax today. T-claps to Margo for putting the EH on several guys to post more often. They need it and we need them. Canadian Bacon and Thunder Road powering through a run-heavy workout and getting better. Enjoyed running with you guys today. The more you run the less it hurts. Keep posting and doing the things that may not be your #wheelhouse. Knight Rider crushes all runs. Dude is fast. Think it is about time to think about a VQ for him #stepitup. Enjoyed the morning with you men. Thanks for the send-off prayer Young Love.

When the alarm went off I was tired and wanted to head back to bed, but I knew friendship was on the line so I powered through and it ended up being a spectacular morning.
Some insights:
-Margo was talking about Southern discomfort as we ran out of Calvary, when BW head faked towards North Face i had a flashback to the triple nickle and Hopper’s hose water.
-Mermaid and BW are correct Knight Rider is fast…He is one of base camp’s finest. He is also really nice, smiles and asks questions while running past you.
-I kept trying to run away from Lobsta during the exercises (#cheating), but he kept passing me in the runs.
-Knee ups followed by Russian Twists is a enough to cause Coxodynia (Safe to google). http://www.jointhealing.com/coxodynia.html
-YL caught up to me on the 5’s and I thought okay now, just stay with YL. He then pulled away…BRR Mindset
-Zuckerberg had his shirt off most of the morning and kept asking Bushwood if he was safe to leave it along the way. #NoShirtLeftBehind

great Q Bushwood. Simba… Not only flashbacks of the triple nickel but then the 2 mile tempo run following. Still have the burning image in my head of Zuckerberg shirtless doing Monkey Humpers. Definitely the lowlight of my day. Good thing he didn’t lose that shirt.
