Exploring uncharted territory (DO NOT ENTER)

Why not come back from injury to Q. Took away some sleep the previous night, but being on Q made me commit.

DICCS given.

Mosse to Animal hospital parking lot for some warmups (SSH, Imperial walkers and Moroccan nigh club).

The thang: Mose to start of N.Providence St. Run around the uncharted territory.

10 Jump squats / 10 bobby hurries and 10 squats at each of the triangular loop. Repeat 3 times. Fuse tried to push me to run faster, but today was not the day.   Back to COT for some exercise for the core (Big Bois and Merkins). Had couple of mins left, so decided to run a short loop with dips in between. End with some stretching.

Moleskin:

I missed F3 so much and was glad to be back. Learnt importance of stretching after the workouts, let’s not forget to stretch.  It is good to Q, it helps to commit and push harder. 

Glad to have (FNG) Josh Tutwiler (Blood clot) join us today.

Always glad to be out with fellow PAX who support and push each other.

The Thang:

Run around in the neighborhood with exercise at every intersection. Planned a circular route but lost my way and had to re-trace our way. Thanks Recalc for leading us back to the right track.

20 speed skaters on the way up and 20 bobby hurlies on the way back. Carbload was blazing ahead this morning.

Run to the roundabout near the pond.

Pick a parking spot line:  1 Burpee and 10 Side to Side shuffles x 5 (This is from Fiji’s book). It was time.

Moleskin:

Greatful for all the PAX who surround me each morning and help me and each other get better. Loved leading the workout today.

Great to have FNG Tinker EH’d by Schnitzel.

Periscope was the 6th man. He started in Arsenal and now is the siteQ there.

Announcements:

Waxhaw downtown clean up this morning and it’s clean now.

Rain doesn’t stop us

The rain was not much this morning, but was enough to make me throw away my cheat sheet for todays 1hr workout. All the roads to the high school parking lot was blocked /closed, so had to just use the middle school area, but it had enough routes for a 4 mile workout. 

Arrived early and there was Posse who was quick to give me few tips for the changed plan. Few more Pax joined us.

DICCS given.

Warm ups:

Mose and stick to the oneway (Yes Fusebox we are going up the hill) to Deals road and back to the shelter near the entrance. SSH, Imperial walkers, Moroccan night club, calf stretch and few Merkins.

The Thang:

Partner up to do 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s. Partners take turn to run a lap around the student drop off loop. Then add some air presser’s. Mose to the next student drop off loop. Look at the numbers on the pillars and do as many bur-pies (Not my FAV too Blue screen). Start from 8 and go down till 1 (Total 36). Run a lap in between.  What next … Run between the flag poles. 20 dips at one end and 10 incline merkins at the other … what next … 20 jump lunges and run a lap (Yes 2 is 1). Repeat 2 times. Next grab some rocks. Curls, overhead press, swings (I think). 1 more trip up the hill to deals road and back. Relax squat with back agains the wall. Chastian reminds me of the time. Mose (Sprint with Hurry) back to COT. Total 4.2 miles on my apple watch. Wow that was good.

Moleskin:

The encouragement and the push by each one of you took me thus far. Felt nervous and exited. Posse sent me this quote “If it excites you and scares the crap out of you at the same time, it probably means you should do it.

I love the “No man left behind policy”. Yes, that made me keep posting. There was always someone pushing and motivating me. Remember Wrigley making me run 2 driveways and walk 1 drive way at watchtower when I started posting and everyone who circled back to pick up the 6th.   

Hurry was the 6th man. He started out in metro and has recently been posting with us after he moved here. He’s excited to be here. 

No announcements.

NO Chattering

Signup:

When I went to donate blood on 23rd of July did not know what I was getting into. Thanks to Posse for signing me up with F3Waxhaw. I always needed the motivation to workout and that was exactly what I got when I showed up the following Monday. The hardest was the 2nd day when Easybutton was on the Q Walked half the way (This is what Transporter had referred to). But kept at it and then Swimmers put me on Q. Again, I did not know what I was getting into when I said ok. Had few chances and thoughts to back-out but stuck to the task. The thought of being the Q woke me up few times that night. But I knew I’ll have the support.

DICCS given Mosey around the shopping center for about a quarter mile. 15SSH, 15 Imperial walkers, Calf stretch, 20 Merkins, Plank jack then Mosey to Target parking lot, stopping at lights for speed skaters.

The Thang:

Mosey around the parking lot 5 times stopping at each corner for 10 burpes in the 1st, 10 Bigboys in the 2nd, 10 Shoulder tap merkins on the 3rd and 10 jump squats on 4th. Mosey to Petsmart parking lot. 10 Donkey kicks at one end and 10 Hurlies at the other. Repeated for couple of times and it was almost time (Did not know know where it went). Mosey back to COT.

Moleskin: 16 Pax showed up in support, saw many new faces in Asylum. Was just overwhelmed by the support. Fuse box proof read the cheat sheet, Mad Dog was there to check the reflective gears, Transport was there to make sure I was running and not walking. 

Prayers and Announcements:

Prayers for Sugar daddy and Shop Dawg.
