March Madness & Miss Meyer

Date: 2025-03-20 AO: hydra Q: spackles PAX: puddin_pop, Foghorn, Huddle House, hairball, Hops, Brandi FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Kotters to Hairball who was first to arrive this morning. His running coach said he should work in a bootcamp every once in a while. Call it a comeback…or false positive. Spackles kept the pax on campus other than some paver work with Mary & Merkins at the dearly departed Methodist church. Brandi (who had a shirt on), Foghorn & Huddle ran in/out. Foghorn, as usual, ran like a house pet whose tail was on lit on fire. Lots of talk about Vienna sausages – in Vienna, Dubrovnik, Iceland, etc. – Puddin’ said the best sausages he ever had were in Vienna inside a pickup truck just like Spackler’s. There was very little talk of March Madness actually; much more talk of our childhood teacher crushes. YHC’s was Miss Meyer, my 3rd grade teacher. Other topics included discount Kirkland’s wine, bargain bourbon, exchange students, youth baseball and softball, heart surgeons, ob/gyn’s and Carlton Whitfield (‘Secret of My Success’). Don’t forget to fill out your brackets so they can get busted by dinner time tonight. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…unless you’re a Wake Forest fan #15yeardrought. Alas.

Are you ready to rock?

Date: 2025-03-19 AO: the-maul Q: Starch PAX: patent_pending, taggart, kirby, super trooper, Hawkeye, teddyf3 FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Moseyed our way through the parking lots into more parking lots. Got in some standards LSS SSH Imperial Walker Merkins Mountain Climbers Runners Stretch
THE THANG: Headed to Saint Matthew’s for some rock work 1st and 2nd round: – OH press – Curls – Flutters with press – Thrusters
3rd and 4th round: – Calf raises – Reverse lunges – Squats – American Hammers
Did a lap around our section of the parking lot between each round. We also swapped rocks after each round to be sure everyone got to feel the pain.
Ditched the rocks and headed back toward launch.
Before we got there, partner work with 1 partner bear crawling across the lot and jogging back while the other did some reps of LBCs Jump Squats Carolina Dry Docks
MARY: Had some pax call some exercises and then we planked until time was up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF
COT: Prayers for The Worm and all the pax going through it.
It was an awesome group of pax who loved the rock work and bear crawls especially. Be sure y’all rest up, and thanks to wingman and patent_pending for letting me Q

Even on IR, Floorslapper led the way

Date: 2025-03-19 AO: anvil Q: Floor Slapper PAX: Padre, snowflake, puddin_pop, Point Break, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Things were done. Rocks and Starfish. Avenue of trees. Hotbox. Good meat & potatoes Q.

How many of what?

Date: 2025-03-19 AO: meathead Q: flipper PAX: Uncle Leo, Unplugged, Floyd, Toto, MARTA, flipper FNGs: None COUNT: 6 YHC rolled up around 0525 for the 2nd Bell Q in three days, and the faithful pre-stretch subscribers were already in various stages of warmup awaiting me. Between then and 0530 we were joined by three others and therefore six PAX set out to embrace day 2 of week 7 of KOBM…. Kinda
Week 7 is SUPPOSED to be a deload week according to the rainbow sheet, but then the called activities did not even slightly align to that concept in YHC’s estimation. As such, some audibles occurred, see below. Additionally, the music was left to Pandora today and she did not miss once.
WARMUP: SSH, IW, WM, Swings, Cleans, Prying Squat THE THANG: Bruce Complex modified to American Swings over flip swings and a little playing around with the counts. Then sets of overhead squats of 10, 7, 4 each arm. Finished with some carries MARY: the usual suspects ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF COT: Thanks Unplugged for the takeout.

Easy Until It Wasn’t

Date: 2025-03-19 AO: wamrap Q: rachel PAX: Alf, Orange Whip, rachel, double_e, O’Tannenbaum, Christmas FNGs: None COUNT: 6 6 for a quickly escalating workout with stairs, Mike Tyson’s, burpees, split squats, and v ups. It was fun. Thanks OW for the take out.

Way of the Warrior

Date: 2025-03-19 AO: bagpipe Q: Rousey PAX: wildturkey, das_boot, Roulette, Pilgrim FNGs: None COUNT: 5 A very crazy workout that was too scary to describe. Rousey called Pilgrim, “Penguin” the whole time.

Stealth recovery

Date: 2025-03-19 AO: sacs Q: Roulette PAX: wildturkey, geraldo, Cheese Curd, Emoji FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: Reposition the vehicles due to the impending bus parking for the SCMS Washington DC field trip. THE THANG: YHC took the initiative to grab the Q when offered, knowing full well that we’d be sneaking in a stealth recovery day from the after affects of Jaeger on Saturday, much to the delight of Cheese Curd… even so we set a swift pace and took on every hill we passed for good measure… at the end I had 3.77 on the clock… 2nd F highlights: wildturkey’s 2.0 has Flu B, so we hope for a quick recovery geraldo Is coming up on his 10th GoRuck Bragg anniversary so maybe it’s time to get back out there Emoji Has been told by his PT that he has weak Quads? I don’t believe it… Cheese Curd Is having fun with his new appliance, you had to show to know… MARY: Not today Satan… ANNOUNCEMENTS: Spartan race 4/5/25, WTF 4/12/25, Blood Drive see MARTA… Starch I have your “Outta time” patch COT: Let’s work to be more present in our lives, for our families and our purpose… We pray for healing for The Worm

fart sacked it

Date: 2025-03-18 AO: skunk-works Q: lois PAX: Header, Smokey FNGs: None COUNT: 3 WARMUP: THE THANG: YHC wasn’t able to get out of the fart sack this morning….
I wonder if there was more discussion about Carolina in the play-in game and the injustice done to West Virginia, or about how USC was one of 2 SEC teams who failed to make the dance. Or maybe it was about Lipscomb’s Cinderella chances?
Beat down good with a 🔥 playlist MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT:

Go Hard, then Go Harder

Date: 2025-03-18 AO: swift Q: flipper PAX: Gump, Cheap Seats, soft_pretzel, drive_by, flipper, citgo, Wolverine, teddyf3, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), frasier FNGs: None COUNT: 10 At 0455 there were 3 PAX in the towne bank parking lot. YHC was getting items together to step out into the gloom, but by 0458 the PAX had disappeared. Thusly YHC embarked on a solo pre-run and returned to find 6 additional PAX waiting for the main event. Citgo jogged up moments later and we were off.
WARMUP: Jog over to the hotel at the west end of Community House for dynamic warm-ups THE THANG: 4x1k along community house and Lower Ave with first half at 10k pace, 2nd half at 5k. Running from Lower to Community House was definitely the more challenging leg, leaving all PAX huffing and puffing on the final interval. ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF COT: with bagpipe
