Fall is finally here

Date: 2024-11-21 AO: sparta Q: voodoo PAX: Full House, retread, Keystone, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 4 It was a brisk morning in downtown Matthews when 4 pax posted in the soon-to-be-pay lot next to Seaboard. The temps were finally down to fall levels but still pleasant for a run. The Q is still dealing with a sore calf, so the plan was to make this a running boot camp rather than just running.
We ran down Trade Street to the intersection of Country Place Drive and Matthews Estate Road.
WARMUP: – SSH x 20 IC – IW x 15 IC – Mountain Climbers x 20 IC
THE THANG: Run in Matthews Estates Road and take every right turn. In every cul de sac, do 10 HR merkins and 10 jump squats. When you get back to the intersection with Country Place Drive, plank it up for the six.
Run together out to Trade, turn left and run past the church and take a left. Run through the parking lot back to Country Place Drive and go left. Plank up at the intersection with Matthews Estates Drive.
Partner up (we basically split into 2 teams of 2). Partner 1 does the church loop, stopping in the parking lot immediately off Trade Street for 20 LBCs, then run back to the intersection. Partner 2 runs back into Matthews Estates, takes the second right onto Timber Knoll, then runs to the entrance of Gilchrest Circle. Do 10 Heels to Heaven, then run back to the intersection. Flapjack. Repeato with 10 diamonds in the church lot and 20 wide arms at Gilchrest. Flapjack.
Retrace our steps back to launch, stopping at the mini-wall for 10 step-ups per leg and 20 dips.
MARY: – Box cutter x 15 IC – Protractor with group participation – Dolly x 15 IC – Superman with Ys and Ws x 10 IC – High plank until 0615
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Area 51 Christmas Party will be held at the home of Geraldo and his very understanding M on 12/8. Please sign up to bring a fruit cake appetizer and remember that it’s BYOB! We hope you and your M can make it!
COT: YHC took us out with prayers for The Worm’s continued recovery, the recovery of those people impacted by the recent hurricanes, and those traveling for the holidays, including students returning from school.

James and the Giant Turd

Date: 2024-11-20 AO: wamrap Q: Horsehead PAX: Alf, rachel, O’Tannenbaum, double_e, Bellhop, Giant Turd, Giant Cockroach FNGs: None COUNT: 8 6 men, a giant turd, and a similarly sized cockroach assembled in a parking deck already claimed by the pay-to-play Gladiators to see which group would come out on top. In the end, the men of F3 established dominance by avoiding them and using other parts of the parking deck. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
After the first round of carefully planned exercises, running, burpees, and pullups Rachel and Alf went off on their own. I’m pretty sure that romance didn’t last, as we saw Alf all by himself about 15 mins in, trying to convince the Giant Cockroach to boost him up onto the pullup beam. The Giant Turd did his own thing.
Back in Hazzard county, OT regaled us with tales of his old wrestling coach and unrelated multi-tiered steak dinners while we suffered through both the workout and his stories.
Double E continued his streak as the fastest slow dude while trying his best to escape us. Unphased by the actual workout instructions, we were unshakable.
Bell Hop held the fort down and powered through the whole workout, we think. Or maybe he slept in the elevator. Who knows.
The real winner was Giant Turd, who remained intact atop the parking deck throbbing in his (or her) majesty while we continued to pass by in both fear admiration.
I still hate Slackblasts, but this ones for the Pax.
your friend, Horsehead
