My cat has herpes

Date: 2024-02-16 AO: kevlar Q: Runstopper PAX: poptart, ChickenWing, Orange Whip, Rudy, Rhapsody FNGs: None COUNT: 6 2 mile pre-run by OW and Rhapsody
Immediately went into circle work. Lots of mumble chatter throughout this contest and Runstopper actually obliged and joined in.
We covered a lot of locker room topics today but Pop Tarts car having herpes in its eye sort of stole the show.
Ran to 55+ neighborhood and after helping Runstopper pick out his house for next year he led us in a variety of stations and told us about the traffic patterns in Laos.
Got 2 more miles in and went the scenic route through the neighborhood and got back right after 6:15.
Really fun morning with lots of smack talk and laughs.
RIP- inventor of the Pop Tart. Cause of death: too many Pop Tarts.

Rounding Up

Date: 2024-02-16 AO: mountain-goat Q: Spammer PAX: slim_fast, Spammer, sledge, geraldo, wildturkey, jrr_tolkien, retread FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Another Local Legend title was offered up to the PAX this morning. The target: Rounding Up, a 1/4 mile (uphill) segment on Rounding Run. The catch this week was that the PAX were not told how many repeats it would take to steal the crown. This was a you against yourself effort. In this case it was 6, and all PAX, YHC included got at least 7. The crown was actually awarded 3 times this morning, first to @Geraldo, then to @Retread before finally settling on @SlimFast who finished with 9 repeats (and this was after a 4-mile SleepHaterz prerun)! It was nice to see a few different faces this week. One more week for YHC to Q the old #mountain_goat before I pass the reigns to next month’s leader.

Watch out for falling rocks!

Date: 2024-02-15 AO: peak-51 Q: slim_fast PAX: slim_fast, Spammer, Smokey, sledge, Rudy FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Did several exercises between two locations that included rocks. When lifting rocks over your head, try to make sure you keep your face out of the way when you bring them back down. Otherwise ridicule might ensue. Good workout this morning. Nice to see a decent crowd (5) at Peak.

Plan to not run much and take one wrong turn

Date: 2024-02-14 AO: davinci Q: C3P0 PAX: Palmolive, Odd Job, OMNICRON, Dickies FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: easy run around “pond” behind PetsMart and down hazardous path to neighborhood and circle up for 15x SSH, IW, LSS, then plank and stretching leg up, behind, out all that good stuff with some downward dog and upward etc. THE THANG: Mosey another half-mile or so down trail stopping where we cross over large drainage pipes, a little more stretching via “old man burpees” (slow burpee to really loosen up all the parts involved) then some regular burpees and mosey to Polo Ridge school.
Turns out we missed the turn, and had an excursion through a lot of pricker bushy areas, more annoying than hazardous, but still take the right after the chain link fence and avoid that mess.
When we did get to the school, we had added nearly a full extra mile to the commute, eating up a lot of fun time planned. Alas, found some benches, and 2 rounds of 20x dip, step up, decline merkins. Stop by the playground with copious rung and rings for pull ups and do 10x negative pull-ups. Get comfortable on your six (in the not comfortable mulch) and do a mini web of big boys and merkins from 4-2 to 20-10. Running short on time, we did 5 more negative pull-ups and have to head back to COT MARY: just those big boys ANNOUNCEMENTS: probable convergence with Stonehendge next Saturday as majority of SOB is in Oak Island. COT: great day to get out, glad to push Dickie (sp?) a little, he’ll be going beast mode in no time. Really glad to have Omnicron back too and hope all the running (we got in 5K) didn’t iritate his ankle. Palm Olive was patient with me as I steered us off track and he lead us back to civilization. Good to see Odd Job again, it’s been forever and all of his running training just so can make us dinner next weekend, think I’ll buy him a beer or three.
