Engine Start System Malfunction

Engine Start System Malfunction

Eleven braved a cold icy morning at Calvary.  Eight appeared on Floor Slapper’s schedule, one arrived an hour early and was napping in his vehicle, and one joined us in the midst of our warm-up run.  Those at Anvil on the 13^th may recognize the routine which was adjusted ever so slightly to extend 15 minutes, at least that was the plan.

Warm-up:  Ran to oval.  15 each of side straddle hops, imperial walkers, low slow squats, mountain climbers, and Peter Parkers.

1^st series:  Ran to the rock pile at the North entry off 51.  There with lifting rocks we did curls, presses, and triceps as we walked around the circle three times.

2^nd series:  Next we ran to the middle entry to north parking lot.  Started there with 25 merkins, then ran to west end of lot and did 25 LBC’s, then ran to the other side of lot across from the start area and did 25 jump squats, then to the east end of the lot for 5 burpees.  Then back around to the start and repeated four more times but lowered to 20 reps, 15, 10 and ended with 5 reps (remaining burpee reps were 4-3-2-1).

Planked to wait for all to finish, at least some of us did.

3^rd series:  Ran to hot box and partnered up.  Partner 1 did step ups, while partner 2 ran to the 2^nd light post and back.  But before the swap, our hot box was commandeered by two women exercising (they were very nice about it).  We adjusted to people’s chair on the wall with air presses briefly and then moved on to the next series.

4^th series:  Ran to rock pile past cemetery and got a lifting rock.  Partner 1 did overhead extensions lying on back while partner 2 ran to the last tree island in that parking lot and back.  Swapped.  Repeated next with press and flutter, and then big boy sit ups with rocks.

5^th series:  Ran to bench/tables near Church entrance at start.  All were iced over, so we couldn’t do step-ups and had to adjust on the fly.  Thanks to Udder’s suggestion we ran an eleven series up and down much of the east Rea Road entrance road with LBC’s at the top and merkin’s.  At finish, ran back to start and circled up for close out.  Various Fitbit’s, Garmin’s and other trackers clocked us at four miles.  Three joined us from Olympus there.

Announcements/Prayer:  Jet Fuel has Rock Zero Q next Saturday (23^rd).  Mighty-Mite’s blood drive with anti-body testing.  Hoover solicited runners for a 75 mile run to Greenville in September and said slots fill up fast so sign up early.  Hoover was on a fast pace today prepping for it.  Thanks to Udder for closing us out with a prayer.  Thanks also to site Q’s Hoover and Geraldo.

“Engine start system malfunction” was what greeted me as I started my car and drove to Starbuck’s for coffee.  I made it home and its since been towed to the dealer.
