SOB Brewery Run 2023

SOB Brewery Run 2023

You may be thinking to yourself “Man, I really wish I could get together with some guys to run a little while also enjoying the booming Charlotte craft beer scene.”  Well as fate would have it you are in luck my friend.  On Saturday, March 4th (the only date that gives a command) we will be marching forth with our first brewery run since June, 2021.
Pax are still regaled with tales of the toasty summer brewery run of 2019, the snow brewery run in 2020…or the time F3 overtook Plaza Midwood in 2021.  This year we are taking it back to South End to show the 20 something’s how it’s done.  The general plan is to start at one brewery, have a beer/water/non-alcoholic beverage of your choice, then run to the next and have a beverage and so on and so on until we hit the 6th and final brewery.  The establishments are not far from each other and the entire route is approximately 4 miles.  And for overachievers there is always the option to go off the directions provided and get more mileage.
We will start at Charlotte Beer Garden at noon for a drink then hit in order: Wooden Robot, QC Pour House, Suffolk Punch, Weathered Souls and finish at Olde Meck.  Full route details to come shortly and will also provided at Charlotte Beer Garden. Feel free to do the whole run start to finish or to join the group at any brewery stop.  *It is highly suggested to Uber or have a ride pick you up after the run.  There is a close light rail stop for Charlotte Beer Garden at the Bland Station and a close light rail stop for Olde Meck at the Scaleybark station.

This is a great 2nd F event and personally one of YHC’s favorites. The timing should be a good recovery for the Oak Island guys and a good tuneup for the P200 guys. Looking forward to it guys and feel free to reach out with questions!

Baby, you are so money and you don’t even know it

DATE: 2023-02-18 AO: _Area-51 Q: Krzyzewski PAX: Pelosi, mighty_mite, The Worm, MARTA, Meter_Maid FNGs: 1 Meter_Maid COUNT: 6 They say love conquers all. And, with only a few days past St. Valentine’s Day, there was love in the air. However, faced with the prospect of sub-freezing temperatures and several hundred KB swings, love died a cold death today. Yes, my friends, today was a meat and potatoes workout with no frills. One bright spot on our quest to defeat 400 swings though was FNG Meter Maid’s joining in the fun. With nary an idea of how to utilize God’s gift to fitness equipment, Meter Maid quickly honed his neophyte kettlebell technique in a hurry following 33 point 3 repeating dozen swings. Here’s the play-by-play: WARMUP: SSH, 10 swings, Prying Squats, 10 swings, Slingshots, and 10 swings THE THANG: Set 1 – 5×5 Pelosi-trademarked ladders (2x) and 5/5/5/5 swings (2x) Set 2 – 10 swings (5x) and 5 double bent over rows (5x) Set 3 – suitcase carry (3x) and waiter/rack carry (3x) with each followed by 20 swings for a massive 120 swings Set 4 – 10 one-handed swings (5x) and 6 anchor snatches (3 e/s) (5x) Set 5 – 10 swings (5x) and 5 thrusters (5x) MARY: Glute bridges, planks, and one-handed side planks for some oblique sculpting ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive on 3/3 with liquid refreshments and revelry to follow COT: After bestowing Meter Maid with his F3 name @Hoover took us out. Cold day, numerous swings, and good 90s hip hop beats.

Happiness is 5 Knolls and burpees (according to Alf)

DATE: 2023-02-18 AO: _Area-51 Q: hoover PAX: Alf, ChickenWing, ductwork, Mountain Momma, Mr. Magoo, O Tannenbaum, Floor Slapper FNGs: None COUNT: 8 8 men met in a cold parking lot at Calvary church where the Q asked if anyone had any better ideas. No one volunteered so it was an irresponsible site-q’s responsibility to come up with something. Here’s how it went down:
WARMUP: Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Low Slow Squats. Just enough time for the Q to come up with a plan. THE THANG: Head to 5 Knolls. Some lunges and mary. revamp the bad idea from Joust yesterday but replace the merkins with squats and do A LOT more running. After 5 rounds (or 6 if you’re Alf) pick up some conveniently placed rocks and carry them to the hill. Partner up and catch me if you can (with merkins) up and down the hill 2 x’s. mary at the bottom for a break. return the rocks and head back to launch with a stop at the Olympus AO along the way. MARY: Scattered throughout, but the monkey humpers were saved for the Olympus crew. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive, cul-de-sac drinking, The Lodge all on March 3rd. COT: Hoover with the takeout
All in pax covered more than 4 miles. only 15 burpees, but 2 trips up and down 5 Knolls. There was plenty of post-workout mumblechatter about taking a nap today.
Join YHC on Monday at Swole for his 3rd Q in 4 days. Voodoo will be so happy I’m coming back to bells.

Despite the threat of rain we only got a little wet at the start. The SlimCast was working overtime this morning to keep us dry.

MARY: it was Cheese Curd and Pop Tart so we had lots of chatter/laughter about different animal phallices, naturally. Curd talked about some video of a turtle that he watched at least 20 times and told a detailed story about a donkey he saw in a Mexico zoo that really isn’t appropriate to talk about here. Yes the big attraction at the Mexico zoo is the donkey exhibit.
We talked about the salesmanship of a man who just got “mini-vanned” by his wife and how many positives he can come up with when telling his friends about their recent purchase.
