Ground Hog Day (Holiday or Movie)

Date: 2024-02-02 AO: mountain-goat Q: Spammer PAX: retread, wildturkey, hairball FNGs: None COUNT: 4 Lots of fart sacking for today’s Mountain Goat despite a fan favorite (Wood Chipper) being on the table. Started with a warmup to the end of Strawberry and back to the track for some dynamic stretching. The main even was the wood chipper which is two laps around the track followed by a run to the end of Woodfox and back. Repeat as many times as possible until time is called. Most pax completed three full cycles. @Hairball was also seen running the track but doing his own thing. @Sledge met us for coffee afterwards.

There was a vampire contingent who launched before we arrived and left before we got back, so details are sketchy at best. Either way it was a cool morning, we ran Swans Run, and it was glorious. See y’all next week on another episode of “We Run in the Gloom”

Just my deer friends

Date: 2024-02-01 AO: peak-51 Q: Spammer PAX: Spammer FNGs: None COUNT: 1 I figured the Peak crowd would be light to non-existent due to some Pax being out of town. I was correct. It was just me myself and I and herd of deer behind the Matthews Library. The bucks were all mated up with the females and formed a perimeter around them until I got by. Since no one else showed up and I’ve been resting a bum foot I took it easy and just ran the Tour of Matthews 5k.

2 situps in and I realized Taco Bell wasn’t the best choice for dinner …

Date: 2024-01-31 AO: sacs Q: hoover PAX: wildturkey, Cheese Curd, Roulette FNGs: None COUNT: 4 Actually it was around mile 1.5 that I realized the barbarians were at the gates … and they weren’t happy.
APFT is a pathfinder requirement, with a passing score of 250+. In the Pathfinder program, you are encouraged to plan this and other required challenges out so as not be stuck at the end of the program with a to-do list you can’t accomplish.
So of course, YHC waited until the literal last day of the 12 week program to try for this Pass/Fail requirement. No do-overs, no resets. If YHC didn’t pass on the first try then the last 12 weeks of Pathfinder training would have been for nothing. Maximum effort.
So there I was at 0513 in the rainy SCMS parking lot, three pax staring at me expectantly with rucks and a sandbag. A question was raised about where we were running, the track or somewhere else? YHC suggested repeats on Strawberry, a suggestion that was wisely ignored as we descended onto the track. Here’s how it went down …
WARMUP: Walk to the track and talk about how we would rather not do this.
THE THANG: 2 mile run, timed. The SCMS lady who runs opposite our way on the track actually waved and said “hi.” Take that, Ghost of #chubbyhubby!
2:00 max pushups and 2:00 max situps in the cover of the SCMS crapper awning.
For extra credit, a 2 mile ruck out to Arbo and back.
MARY: no time for love, Dr. Jones. We went into OT.
The Results: Score: 250 / 300 Result: Passed PushUp Score: 90 / 100 SitUp Score: 81 / 100 Run Score: 79 / 100 Underwear: still clean
More than honorable mentions: Wild Turkey smoked the group with 60 merkins in 2 minutes. Cheese Curd smoked the run with a sub-7 pace, plus did EC while Roulette finished his last lap. Roulette completed his first APFT. Solid baseline and we convinced him to join the next Pathfinder training block. Get after it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Savage Race. Sign up, ruck it or don’t. But sign up and get dirty.
COT: I’m sure someone, somewhere did, but we were a scattered crew at the end. Time commitments in the AM and all. Many thanks to the rucking crew that supported me during the Pathfinder program. It was what I needed to not burn out on running post-BRR. SYITG and looking forward to the next challenge.

Happy Hump Day

Date: 2024-01-31 AO: anvil Q: geraldo PAX: hopper, geraldo, Emoji, Point Break, Lorax, Jet Fuel, Margo, Puddin Pop, Icarus, Thunder Road FNGs: None COUNT: 10 THE THANG:
We jogged over to another large area of the parking lot for COP SSH x 20 IW X 20 Squats x 20 Sharon Towers x 15
We moseyed over to the rock pile near the drive through entrance and selected a lifting rock, choose wisely. Then we carried or our rocks over the the parking lot with the 8 islands. Puddin Pop thought it was 6 or  7 islands, who knew?
Lining up abreast, we proceeded to complete the called exercises at each island, then running to other end of the parking lot and back without your rock. Upon return, carry your rock to the next island and repeato.
Rock Curls x 10 Overhead Rock Presses x 10 Rock Tricep Extensions x 10 Meekins x 10
We did some Mary when finished, then we made our way back stopping at each island for 10 Rock squats.
We returned our rocks and moseyed over to the  Hot Box to pay a visit to our Meathead brothers. Then grabbed some wall for 2 rounds of 50 air presses and headed back to launch for some Mary.

MARY: Hello Dollies x 20 Heels to Heaven x no 20 Rosalita x 15

I pulled into the parking lot and was happy to see a merry group of pax for a hump day A bootcamp friendly 2 miles today, you’re welcome bootcamp . Emoji opted for a bootcamp rather than the APFT test. @cheesecurd might have something to say about that. Good to see Puddin Pop after I promised him yesterday we’d stay in campus. Thanks to @hopper for posting, @gummy didn’t, but he was there in spirit since I borrowed part of the Weinke from him. Strong work by Icarus, I hadn’t met him before but keep it up. I hadn’t see Margo in a long time but he has to deal with a code brown issue which he took care of near North Face. I don’t normally post at boot camps on Wednesday, but when I do it’s at Anvil Thanks to Thunder Road for the takeout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: None COT:
