Date: 2025-04-08 AO: fast-twitch Q: frasier PAX: Benny, citgo, jet_fuel, marge, ductwork, deep_dish, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), 0 FNGs: 1 0 COUNT: 8 WARMUP: Frasier gave a typical veteran disclaimer that he cares about our safety but isn’t responsible we got towards rounding run near rising meadow. THE THANG: Pretty simple, hill repeats 3 times up and down through some of raintree’s favorite parts by Rising Meadow, Slim Fast hill aka raintree by the country club, ghost runner hill on 4 mile creek, and a gut checking finish on Windbluff by all minus YHC who was out of breath after 4 mile creek. MARY: None since Frasier had us come on in . Strong work by everyone today joined at the end by Astro at COT who is ready to crush Boston. No Cheese Curd sitting today probably fartsacked after he knew Frasier would keep us busy today. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Waxhaw Trail fest is this weekend, last call to sign up I believe is tomorrow, check slack for details. Reach out to people in F3 who hasn’t posted in awhile and those in general who likely are going through a lot. You never know what someone is going through until you ask. COT: Frasier with the strong takeout
Ladybugs
Date: 2025-04-08 AO: soccer Q: Orange Whip PAX: jrr_tolkien, Level10, BobbyFischer, Joshee10, Kellen Dargle, Orange Whip, Jose Varela, Christmas, Mile High, National Treasure, Phil Britto, King, Pearce, Tush 2.0 FNGs: None COUNT: 14 Two fun games – close again.
National Treasure had the goal of the game with an incredible header off of a Pearce corner. Heeeeee’s back…well hopefully because he had a knee tweak at the end that did not look good :pray: it’s not Sunday soccer without NT out there so heal up soon!
He and Kellen were both on their defensive games as usual.
King played longer than usual.
One of my 2.0s came out and put on some good hustle, though not exactly a soccer player (like his dad)
He commented that he thought Mile High was 30 because he was so fast, called Phil “the wavy haired guy”, thought Christmas was the best player and asked why I yelled at Josh :joy: :joy: :joy:
On that note, we almost lost Josh again but he manned up and came back into the game and played great soccer…gotta feed the beast more passes!!! Love Josh’s passion that’s for sure.
Jose V, made a great defensive stop from my 30 yarder into the middle of the goal, too bad he was on my team :joy: :blush: :face_holding_back_tears: 😥 :sob:
Fun day and tough ending with the injury. I’m out next week with Spring break and then we have Easter the following, so we have to get some HC’s going!

April Madness

Moseyed to the parking lot by the courtyard. SSH Hillbillies IW Mountain Climbers Runners Stretch Merkins
THE THANG: Did a lap around Loch Ness with some work on each of the patios – 1 minute walk sit – 20 step ups (10 per side) – 20 split squats (10 per side)
Headed across the bridge for some planks and shoulder taps while we waited for the 6
Went to the bottom of the hill by the Campbell’s building. Found kirby wandering around all alone. After much deliberation, we decided to call out so that he could join us.
Partner up, one partner runs to the base of the bridge and back while other partner does: – Merkins and Caroline Dry Docks – Flutters and American Hammers
Moseyed back to Loch Ness for some – Derkins – Dips – Ierkins (incline merkins – it’s a thing)
To the Chase Bank parking lot for box cutters (S/O war_eagle for some brilliant cadence calling)
Attack the hill back to launch where we stretched for the remaining 2 and a half minutes. Got in a little over 2.25 miles and
We can’t show up to “take care of ourselves” if we’re not gonna stretch and recover well. Let’s avoid injury (as best we can) so we can show up for those around us by taking the 2-4 minutes we need to stretch out and be sure we’re good for the next one.
Strong work this morning gents :muscle:
MARY: Throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF this weekend
COT: Prayers for all those with cancer and their families – especially Bruce. Prayers to the Worm as he recovers. May all those who suffer find solace and fortitude in Christ.

Wild horses, couldn’t drag me away (from this bad idea)
Date: 2025-04-07 AO: chubby-hubby Q: hoover PAX: turkey_leg, Spammer FNGs: None COUNT: 3 YHC decided the fat horse (clydesdale as some of you may call it) was running this morning. Having bumped into Spammer at the Teeter this weekend, and talking shop, he seemed keen to throw down some miles on the hills. Appreciate the :hardcommit:.
No other chatter on the Slack so looked like it was two for turrible hills. YHC came in hot on account of not being able to find car keys at 0507.
Spammer pulled ahead early on and about halfway through the run he and I crossed paths, it was at this point that I heard Turkey Leg was stomping around the hood. Sure enough Turkey Leg caught up with YHC a short while after.
All three of us gathered up for the pledge somewhere around 0610, then moseyed down to the parking lot for COT.
WARMUP: Run to Horsey. THE THANG: AMRAP loops MARY: nope ANNOUNCEMENTS: the usual COT: Spammer had the take-out
