Saturdays are for the chickens

Date: 2025-09-06 AO: chicken-run Q: midriff PAX: toolbag, HazMat, Lasso, soft_pretzel, Green Label FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Run the Ballantyne Country Club route for another Saturday flying with the chickens. Highlights: – HazMat prepped for his VA 100-miler and at one point called himself a little B**CH for turning down Rea to finish his run home instead of finishing the route with us, finishing with 22 miles on the day instead of 20. You are a badass sir. – Lasso completed his longest run YTD and gutted out the final miles as he preps for the Charlotte marathon. – toolbag joined us just in time and initiated conversations around favorite soups, energy drinks and Charlotte divebars – soft_pretzel crushed each Country Club hill, discussing Wake Forest football and the Eagles victory on Thursday night – Green Label had us beat not even halfway through the route and charged ahead of the pack, gliding effortlessly down Ballantyne Commons
Make it a great Saturday boys – I’m grateful for you!

Quarterbacks & Movie Quotes

Date: 2025-09-05 AO: joust Q: Mint chip PAX: poptart, ductwork, Focker, puddin_pop, stonecold, baracus, Mint chip, @limey FNGs: None COUNT: 8 8 for a #FunFriday, low mileage beatdown. Lots of movie quotes, lots of air, and lots of laughs to coincide with the work. No spackles after the HC Thursday but nonetheless, a great way to start the weekend
WARMUP: A few SSH, Stretches, and Arm Circles then an Indian Run around the parking lot where last guy in line had to throw a football to the first guy in line (and hope for a catch) before sprinting to the front. 10 merkins for any drops and while there was not a single NIL-worthy QB or Receiver, the PAX only did 20. And those that couldn’t throw or catch shall remain nameless…
THE THANG: Partner up. P1 runs a stair loop from the sidewalk to the “Blue Door” and back down the lower stairs. P2 does called exercises (Merkins, LBCs, Bohemian Rhapsodies, etc.)
Circle up and each PAX called a favorite exercise (CDD, Can Opener, Rosalita, LBC, Wide arm Merkin, Diamond Merkin, Cumberland County Viaduct, Moroccan Night Club, and Laps)
MARY: Moseyed back to the lot for more LBC and a fast escape from the “sounds” of puddin_pop Focker and @limey
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive in Oct
COT: smokey with the post-frizbee take-out

Cafe Late

Date: 2025-09-05 AO: scars Q: F3 Elsa , kirby PAX: Rudy, Pepsi, Blanks, Franky FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: Set expectations with Blanks that this would be a relaxed recovery day only to be outclassed by Franky rolling up with a hot cup of coffee and ready for a leisurely ruck. THE THANG: Standard bowl route through the tunnel of love and over to the Wells garage for a long indoor climb. A mysterious sedan pulled up beside us at the first traffic light, but our hopes of twilight kidnapping were dashed when we realized it was kirby looking for a good time. Snapped a group photo at the top of the garage. MARY: Two extra laps around home base to get our 3 miles in. Franky miraculously held onto his coffee cup through the whole ruck. ANNOUNCEMENTS: – BRR this weekend! – Tunnel of love had a significant leak – use caution when routing through the tunnel especially as we get into cold/rainy weather this fall. Flashlights strongly recommended. – Mega running event coming up October 3; ping midriff for deets. COT: Pray for those at BRR this weekend. Good call out from Frazier this morning that we’ve gone complacent with inviting FNGs – keep bringing folks out and encouraging each other to keep posting consistently

Pickle ball anyone

Date: 2025-09-05 AO: _sob Q: frasier PAX: bunker, C3P0, wingman, soft_pretzel, midriff, Melons FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Disclaimer, merkins, squats THE THANG: Ran to Wells parking deck. Partner up for three rounds of deck work. Partner one runs the deck up while partner two takes the stairs to the top then runs down to meet partner one. Do ten merkins go back the way you came to the rendezvous point and do 10 squats. Bonus round was flip-flop and partner two runs the deck while partner one takes the stairs for one round.
Onto the next set of fun. Jog down to lower bowl road and did a modified triple nickel with doing three rounds with 10 marks at the top and 10 squats at the bottom.
Then the fun really began. We jogged up to the Pickleball courts on top of the parking deck. Broke up into teams, stated the rules and the consequences if you lose. All games were to three with rally scoring. Loser had to do wind sprints, and the winner did a champions jog around the deck.
Melons went undefeated with several different teammates. The rest of us were not as lucky. MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: sign up for terror trails. Get out there and start recruiting men. Everyone needs it just not everyone knows it. COT:

Old guys Vs

Date: 2025-09-05 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: MARTA PAX: Yeti, Crawdad, smokey, Victoria, Steve Hall, Chandelier, Mr Brady, MARTA, biden, peaches, aoli, Pink eye, Tebow, bullystick, dora FNGs: None COUNT: 14 The PaX began arriving early with several including pink eye shocked us by arriving well before the 515 start time. Nonetheless the count started around 522 and immediately fresh complained that the all old guys, pointing at me(marta) Smokey, and himself, should not be on the same team. I was a little confused since I’ve been excluded from WoMu but still considerd an old guy i may have to boycott the Fresbys for this offense, but I digress.
The chatter was high today with constant barbs and even an enforced pick call by @bullystick.. south meck must have just had an assembly on fair play and equity or some jazz. It was a wiley battle between Vicky and Aoli.. clearly trying to muscle for the title of Top Crossfit Athlete that also plays ultimate. @yeti was limited as MARTA boxes him out on one, a few d’s, and nearly a handbook- where bully quiped he was playing like fresh.. whatever that means. Chandileir and Dora were meances in the endzone. Heck even bullystick skied barber for a score.. at one point, MARTA collided with pink eye while nearly stealing the disc for another fast break. @tebow chirped up that you would expect such dirty play from a GT fan… which is truly rich considering UGAs shining star DT just spat in Daks face on national tv… can a uga player be both dumb and stupid? Regardless, the atmosphere is setting up for some side wagers to be made next Friday before the gt/Clemson game.
With that write up you’d think Yellow won the game… and I’m afraid the game was only close for the first 8 pts. Yellow and red were locked at 4 a piece and Yeti and barber took control and never looked back. Nothing spectacular but the shear athleticism, youth and willpower of yeti, barber, aoli, and biden wore yellow down.. the steady hands of pink eye, Tebow, and Smokey made few mistakes. Red went up something like 10 to 6.. in the end it was kinda respectable 14 to 11 or 10.. with red winning.
Yellow- 1s or losers Marta Fresh Bully Chandilier Peaches Dora Brady Vicky Bullystick
Red – 2s or winners Aoli Smokey Tebow Crawdad Biden Barber Pinkeye Yeti
