13 mostly regulars gathered at CCHS for some work. Madam Tussuad had contacted YHC about meeting half-way and doing a mini-convergence. Since it was his party, the men of Centurion had to bring a gift (more below).
The Thang:
COP – SSH x10, Mtn Climbers X10, Slow Squat X10, Merkins X10
Mosey over to edge of parking lot and each man grab one of our prized pavers. Jog the 1.5 miles to the greenway entrance to meet up with the PAX from the Brave. I was sure they had twenty men but must have been double vision – MT reported 10 showed up.
COP (converged) – A member of each PAX meets in the center and each calls out an exercise
YHC/MT – Merkins/Stagger R and L and Partner balls to the wall X5 each
Margo/ (??) – Burpees and Partner decline merkins
Abacus/?? – Partner sit-ups X10 and Protractor
Hops/?? – Slow flutter and ??
Pulp Fiction/Cold Cuts (??) – Peter Parkers and 6 inch hold as long as you can (I think Bout Time and Mighty Might were only two to outlast the Q)
Sorry Brave PAX leaders – I couldn’t hear MT when he called out your name and it was too dark to see
Ball of man of the two PAX and then jog 1.5 miles back to CCHS with a stop for some Mary while the six catches up. Jail break from front of school to starting point for COT.
Naked Moleskin
This was an easy Q – jog a few miles and make other guys call cadence. I sent out a tweet to warn everyone we would run more than usual so complaints were limited. It was no fun carrying the pavers over to the greenway but at least our friends from the Brave had to carry them home #yourwelcome
Since MT called for this party, I figured the least we could do was bring gifts. I’m sure running up hill back to Ballantyne with a paver was fun. Let us know who carried two as I know you guys got all 13 pavers back safely. The workout flew by so I’d say a success. Great cadence by all the PAX, including Abacus who calls cadence better than almost anyone. Trained the younger brother well.
Paper Jam didn’t realize we would catch him as a traitor since he probably didn’t know about the convergence. Your welcome back anytime – 10 burpee penalty will absolve you of the sin.
I also notice Frasier has changed allegiances, at least for some weeks. I think we are too old and slow at Centurion and he needs a full hour workout. Margo and I are going to have to revisit our recruiting and workout plan – need to reinstitute more pre-runs.
Announcements – Rock converging at Randolph MS tomorrow and Area 51 pool party next week.
Thanks to Brillo for the great takeout.
