#lemmings

Dad: If your idiot friends jumped off of a cliff, would you do it to?

GJ: Yes, yes I would

Dad: Idiot

Running a tad late on the pre-run, so I texted the boyz. No response, they were already off and running (or kidnapped). Fortunately, I was able to spot the gleam of GJ’s giant melon from 1/2 mile away and join up. That giant head would prove useful, as we used its reflective properties to amplify my headlamp beam as we trekked through abandoned factories, crystal meth labs, and a haunted corn maze.

Thankful to be back at the vehicles in one piece, we began the workout with a little something like this:

THANG:

  • Warmup mosey to the main road and back, some sideways and backwards nonsense thrown in.
  • Back to the main lot for a #BobDole COP. Various leg and core exercises, as to not violate the oath I signed with Whiplash yesterday not to use my left arm for a couple of weeks so it can heal up. We’ll continue the leg and core theme throughout the workout.
  • Line up along the side road.
  • Run to end, 25 squats, 25 LBCs, 25 Lunges.
  • Run back, turn around, and run to end again, repeat exercises
  • Run back
  • Run down steps to other corner, 25 flutters, 25 reverse lunges, 25 SSH
  • Run back, turn around, and run to corner again, repeat exercises
  • Run back
  • AYG to opposite corner of fields
  • 7s between the big hill and soccer goals – Mt. Climbers and LBCs (or merkins if you choose)
  • Chinese firedrill all the day back to the vehicles – get there however you want, AYG
  • Closeout Mary – Heels to Heaven and Protractor by EE

SKIN:

Yesterday afternoon, I did a poll on Slack to see if the pax desired a running or strength workout (knowing full well that I was going to run regardless).  The Hairband eagerly participated in this, with some strong suggestions.  Very interesting how he became ill so suddenly upon learning of the  results.  Very interesting indeed . . .

Still not sure where that pre-run went off the rails.  I think it started there.  The suggestion to go into the haunted forest started as a joke, but got legs somehow.  I was waiting for the giant spiders to attack at any time.

If integrity is defined as “doing the right thing with nobody is looking”, what do you call it when a Pastor blatantly cheats in front of an audience?  If you were there, you know what (and who) I am talking about.   Still love you man.  The extra burpees were a nice touch.

The UC boys have gotten faster, and I have lost a step or 10 (and gained a lb or 10).  The combo resulted in me leading quite a bit of this one from the back.  Don’t worry, I’m on a comeback.  Another dozen or so of these sketchy pre-runs and I’ll be back in the middle(ish) where I belong.

Good site – lots of options without having to go far off of campus.  The working bathroom is a cherry on the sundae.  Almost cancels out the weird.

 

Sound off with any other comments of observations.

 

 

Love,

Horsehead

Being out on a hot golf course all day yesterday, I missed the slack mumble chatter. waking up early but fearing my shoulder was too weak to survive a HorseHrad Thrive workout, I bailed! of course now I read the BB and I realize I could have pulled off a 1 armed wonder workout after all!!! #liveandlearn

Three guys emerging from dark woods at about 5:15 AM. Nothing sketch there at all.

I reminded you multiple times of your blood promise made with Whiplash. Mostly to get out of merkins and then EE talked me into 10 merkins at the end of the 7s. #hatehim

Shepherd was just displaying wisdom. He did enough so we wouldn’t mock him for being another HH refusal but not enough to ever be at risk of getting passed.
