Don’t Make Eye Contact …

Date: 2025-03-15 AO: the-rock Q: hoover PAX: Tuna, geraldo, Alf, Snuka, O’Tannenbaum, Mint chip, ductwork, Runstopper, Water Works, turkey_leg, Horsehead, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 13 13 men for 3.7 on campus miles at the Rock.
WARMUP: THE THANG: Run across the parking lot and warmup, textbook stuff. Lots of mumble-chatter. Runstopper’s effort was 1,000%. So much effort his hands never touched the ground.
Hot box for some dips, LBHs, and laps to the trash can and back. We did that three times prompting Turkey Leg to comment on the epic originality of the Q. Alf started to fear we might get too many miles in. Runstopper kept an eye on the Hot Box while we ran.
Over to the rock pile for a painful rock. Triple Lindy’s, run, squats and GM, run. Rinse and repeat. Do some rock mary. Horsehead was positioned perfectly to see my good side. No eye contact was made.
Do a quick fake-out taking the pax over to the entrance by the ball fields. They thought off-campus, I had an even worse idea. Speed bump suicides, with increasing merkins at each speed bump. Alf must have had A ‘Lil Bump as prescribed by his medical professional before the workout. He missed the part where you stop at the speed bump to do the merkins.
Head to the grassy knoll for some wall sits with a burpee or good form squat option. Water Works does burpees on his fingertips so he doesn’t slap his hands on the ground. Geraldo showed off by doing one more burpee than everyone else.
Mosey over to the Flex-lords of Mount Quadlympus for some EMOM monkey humpers. Then on to some gassers where OT definitely didn’t cheat and was way faster than everyone else.
Little more mary to run out the clock.
MARY: seeing as how we didn’t run on the mean streets of Charlotte, we didn’t catch a whiff of her.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF, Blood Drive, Metro-Bro-lympics, BRR, Holiday party, pray for the Worm
COT: High Tide took us out.

Greased lightning! ⚡️

Date: 2025-03-16 AO: soccer Q: Orange Whip PAX: Joshee10, National Treasure, Phil Britto, Christmas, Orange Whip, BobbyFischer, Mile High, King FNGs: None COUNT: 8 A 4v4 match was surprisingly super fun until we were scared away by nearby lightning ⚡️
The storm alarm went off in downtown Indian Trail so we went to the cars to wait it out. We tried playing again until we saw lightning too close for comfort. “Next goal” was announced and Christmas promptly closed door on any of us getting killed.
Mile High suggested we go to Poppyseed Bagels afterwards and 5 soggy saps clonked their cleats into the shop as we we navigated the process of ordering a bagel from the cranky store owner #bagelNazi
We discussed background checks, Lindsey Vonn, Poland, electric cars and more old man chatter.
At least we got our 1% better each day by waking up and running a bit.
The rain was glorious and as always we had a great time.

Date: 2025-03-15 AO: stonehenge Q: Palmolive PAX: ToeJam, shrinkwrap, Rousey, Moth, C3P0, teddyf3, lex_luthor FNGs: None COUNT: 8 When I saw the flashing lights, I knew I was going to be late. The Stonehenge crew stepped up to lead while I dealt with legal delays and came into the parking lot hot. A quick lap around Ballantyne found the PAX at Stream Park, and they were ready to go!
WARMUP: Kinda, some 8 count burpees and 4 count merkins

Track Day on Pi Day

7’s – Gods number.

Date: 2025-03-14 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: Spyglass PAX: Shank, David Baker, Crawdad, smokey, Slumdog, Yeti, Mayo, Chubbs, Spyglass, Fruity Pebbles, MARTA, Cool Runnings, Biden, Crumpets, Pink Eye, None FNGs: 1 None COUNT: 15 WARMUP: Marta involuntarily volunteered to lead a dynamic side straddle hop and quick count off before we all got cold and stiff again. THE THANG: Another sneaky cold 50 degree morning. A wise man once said, “does a frogs nuts hit the floor when it bounces?” Yes. Am I thankful to be coming out of the arctic elements we’ve faced the past few months? Yes. Do I also want 50 degrees to feel like 50 degrees and not 30 degrees, also yes.
I digress. Pink came out blazing, in part due to not wanting to sit around close to Slumdog and his unwashed pink penny he was donning from last week.
Sneaky good matchup of the morning, Mayo vs. Fly With Me. The two of them were putting in some serious mileage tracking to break down the seam and keep with one another. I’m more of a “don’t cross the 50” kind of guy myself, but I envy you both.
LOTS of chirping today between Friday Spy and Friday Shank. Suggestions of a trade came in WAY too early. Also a few “good defense” chirps to keep each other honest.
With a 2nd consecutive appearance, Crumpet is officially a Friday guy. Love to see it.
Slum played exception defense, reminded us all that God spent just a little extra time when crafting that mans calves. Following a nasty defense swat, we could be seen prancing down the field like a kid who was just handed a lollipop.
Chubbs’ flick is now a known weapon.
Cool Runnings reminded us all that he has the right wrist of a stallion, and even could be seen reminding his fellow yellows that he was very open on some drives. You could cut the tension with a knife.
Pinks dominance over yellow today could be described like a good morning pee, strong and steady. Similar to having to sneeze during that pee, there was a brief break in the stream where yellow managed to tie it up, only for pink to continue on and slam the door shut.
Wrap up: Shank officially in the market for a cleat deal. He is open to converting for the right price.
PINK: Spy, Fruity, Crumpets, Fly With Me, Crawdad, Slumdog, Pink Eye, Yeti
YELLOW: Smokey, Cool Runnings, Shank, Chubbs, Biden, Mayo, Marta. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fellowship Friday breakfast at Stacks. Tournament Bracket Challenge coming soon. COT: Chubbs lead us out.

Two’s Company

Date: 2025-03-14 AO: scars Q: Roulette PAX: kirby FNGs: None COUNT: 2 Maybe the lowest PAX count for scars but this train keeps rolling… kirby and I got almost 3.5 miles with a parking deck included… Highlights of this mornings mumble chatter: reflective beanies, practical common sense, and noticeable temperature changes in large concrete structures…
