A plan is only good until the first (and only) pax shows up

Date: 2023-08-22 AO: fast-twitch Q: hoover PAX: ductwork FNGs: None COUNT: 2 2 men drove from the furthest reaches of Charlotte (Metro) for Area 51’s premiere Tuesday running workout. A weinke was planned ahead of time, but not executed. There was a moment of doubt that any running would take place, especially when the Q mentioned getting coffee. But two men faced down the impending gloom that was Rt 51 and saddled up for an out and back. A solid mix of First and Second F.
Both men would likely say they would have preferred not to run, but there was a feeling of accomplishment at 0615 that you only get after an hour of hard work on a humid August morning.
WARMUP: talk about not running THE THANG: run from Arboretum to Baybrook Ln and back MARY: we saw a few women on the way, never asked their names. so maybe one of them was Mary. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Benny has the Q next week COT: Ductwork took us out

Hey, are you using this slide?

Date: 2023-08-21 AO: swole Q: high_tide PAX: The Worm, ickey_shuffle, Nair, Rousey, mighty_mite, flipper, Unplugged FNGs: None COUNT: 8 I hate Mondays. I never post on Mondays. But, every 6 months, I do have a dental checkup, just to spoil your impression of Alabama’s dental hygiene. Today was such a visit and I planned to post, as a way of ensuring I didn’t oversleep for my dental appointment. And sensing something amiss in The Force, @flipper asked me to Q, this workout I only attend annually. And here we are, with sore muscles and a clean cavity-free mouth, writing a backblast.
WARMUP: SSH 25 IC LSS 10 IC Prying squat
THE THANG: The Bare Flynnimum called for 4 sets of 12 reps today, but despite keeping to the required reps, we did way more than the minimum.
Double Cleans Half Kneeling Presses (each side) #crowdpleaser Double Front Squats #noonewaspleased Pull-ups (4 sets of your reps) (half reps count if you’re 50 and trying to beat someone 29 – “cough” @rousey “cough” @nair ) —this is also where the pax found a potential FNG sleeping on the slide. @mighty_mite politely asked if he was ok, to which he responded that he was. Moments later, he was gone. And he hadn’t even been fogged by @the_worm. What gives with the youth of today?!
Max Merkins – 2 sets
MARY: If you kept your core braced properly, not necessary. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Someone is doing 5ks all day to raise money to be adopted Waxhaw is doing something sometime- sign up now. Sign up for the Christmas party (probably at @voodoo house, since he wasn’t there today) COT: @unplugged took us out.
@ickey_shuffle liked the music. I know because he diss it.

To stay in running shape, don’t go longer than 18 months

Date: 2023-08-21 AO: run Q: baracus PAX: Full House, geraldo, ductwork, funky_cold, baracus, turkey_leg, Broken Arrow, Hops, hoover, Huddle House, Spammer FNGs: None COUNT: 11 Another Chubby Hubby is in the books.  You’ll never guess what we did.  It was a master plan, not to be outdone until next week when the same exact plan is enlisted.  Same run, different cast of characters… which is what makes it great.  Always good to have a new pax at Chubby Hubby.  
Welcome Hops!  While I think it has been more recent, Hops claims he hasn’t run since his last visit to Chubby Hubby some 18-24 months ago.  Well if that’s how long it’s been, we’ll done my friend!  Like an old pro!  Well at least an old Chubby Hubby like YHC.
Turkey Leg & Spammer were todays overachievers going for some extra credit on a pre-run and then going for 5+ more during regular time, joined by Funky Cold.  Actually they went into extra time and didn’t make it back until after COT.  
The four mile group consisted of myself, Ductwork, Hops, Geraldo and Broken Arrow.  We were fantastic if not medium fast for a portion of our run.  Well it was definitely good company.
Well done fellas!  And congrats to Hoover and Spammer for crushing the hills of Horsey this AM. I’m taking credit for your attendance “near” Chubby Hubby.
