Breaking Bad
No one volunteered so you have no one to blame but yourself. It’s Union County which means the strange starts even before the workout. Hairband used the women’s bathroom before we even started which led to some calls for a rename to HB2. He was adamantly opposed which means it will likely stick at some point. Some guys saw the tweet and brought their headlamp. Well done. You’ll need it for this adventure. Let’s go!
Mosey to the lot beside Carolina Courts for a COP.

The Thang
Mosey over to the playground where there is light for some station work followed by a run.
Stations:
Decline Merkins, Swing Donkey Kicks, Steps ups
Run: Here is where it gets weird. Two run options: 1) Around the Block or 2) Through the trail in the woods. Watch out for clowns, needles and that camper behind the house. *At your own risk*
Three times through with reps of 1) 20, 2) 25, 3) 30. First run had most of the guys going to the woods. Nothing says strange like a bunch of grown men running on a trail at 5:45 AM through woods at a park near playground equipment with Horsehead laughing hysterically the whole time. The next two runs were around the block. Had to normalize this thing somehow.
Till everyone gets back: 1) Planks then 2) 3 count down squats IC x35
Let’s get weird again. Indian Run/Lunge Walk through the woods. We ran near the camper for safety purposes.
Back to near the bathrooms where HB commented that there is a smell. This is after he and HH had used the bathroom before the workout. Ya think?
Stations/Run combo:
Dips, Incline Merkins, Step Ups x20
Run to gym and back
Repeato
Gather in parking lot for 3MOM:
Flutters IC x10
Rosalita IC En Espanol x20
LBCs IC x10
Done!
COT:
Prayers for HB/DT job search
For my wife
For Happy’s Dad
Thanks to the Count for taking us out
Moleskine:
It’s UC so it was weird. We’ve mostly avoided the Breaking Bad trail due to a unhealthy fear of clowns, drugs and twisted ankles. Really believe now that we’ve missed out on opportunities for weirdness. Needs to become a regular addition.
There was complaining about running which I largely ignored while giggling over my plan to #makeUCweirdagain
Shepherd got lost in the woods first time through. He came out a disturbing palish color. Think Blair Witch.
After the first run through the woods, I see HB standing around in the light. His fear overcame him apparently.
This is no doubt a crowning jewel of a Q. No thanks necessary.

Joe, if it weren’t for your giant Harvest Moon head we would still be jaunting around on that God-forsaken trail. You are the illegitimate love child of Mikhail Gorbachev and Rudolph (actually a girl, see Hairbands new nickname).
So not only do we run into this dreadful place, behind the meth lab and open grave of dead hookers , but we proceed to go back into it doing some soft of redneck conga line that had absolutely no exercise merit whatsoever. You have outdone yourself my shiny friend.
Almost made me forget how outstanding it was to come out of the bathroom, all emotionally spent from my bowel exorcism, to see HB2 peek his little head out of the ladies room. My first thought, “Man, they sure grow em ugly here in the UC.” HB2 seemed pretty concerned that the lights were out everywhere, but I was thankful . . . very thankful.
