Solid turn out for the Sherpa special loophole EC, YHC not included. Maybe a debut for Punkin?
A few run broz did their highfalutin thing.

T-2 months until the Highland Games, so the other 19 of us embarked on a Mini Highland Games to get ourselves prepared. I swear our fearless facilitator OTW did not pay me to do this.

After the pledge we grabbed the flag and set out. 5 mini AOs were discovered along the way, most with a challenge. We divided into two clans in the spirit of competition. After warmups, challenge 1 was alligator merkins out and back. At the next step we had a jump squat relay race; Hermes and his brother Astro both had highly questionable form. The next stop brought us by the Hulk broz who appeared to be slinging some serious weight around. We embarked on an LBC challenge- which team can do the most reps in 3 minutes. The PAX did a total of over 2,800 LBCs which sounds super impressive. Last stop on our way back was a rock paper scissor challenge, loser does burpees.

Good push by the PAX to make it back for COT just in time. Props to all those who carried the quad-dent flag along the way.
MIAGD!

Solid out and back, with a few hill repeats, through the lovely hills of Macgregor. PAX were challenged to take the crown on a tough 0.2 mile uphill Strava segment that required a 4:17 min/mile pace for which the record had stood since 2020.

It was really ugly out there. YHC picked up the 6 and jogged with a very slow, seemingly out of shape Joe Smith back to NYB. YHC was wondering “did Back in Black make ole’ Joe soft? I need to encourage that guy.”

Lo and behold, Stravas we synced at COT and would you believe Joe snatched that crown!!! What a stud! Round of free coffees was purchased for all in celebration.

Announcements – Lots, check that channel.
Prayer Requests – None today.

YHC took us out.

Oh, and we lost Flop’s FNG but then found him at coffeteria. Still needs to be named. This was his third post!

MIAGD!!!

This was a DAY. The EC event of the year, the cap of the 5th Q-6-pack of the month, a major announcement, and a major milestone for our young region. More in the NMS.

At least two cohorts for the WGECOcho, and at least one ruck cadre partaking in the EC options this. Somewhere around 30 gathered at the flag to welcome FNG Leigh, hit the core principles, and head out. Warm up lap around the pool lot island, and gather near the flag for warmups.

Find a partner on your way to the clubhouse and grab a coupon. Two laps around the pickle. First do murder bunnies, next do lunge walks. Non coupon partner runs around till you meet, then swap.

Next thang, supplement our collection with pain sticks, the off for the Planters Wood culdesac. Stop at every mailbox for 5 squats and 5 presses. Swap some items at the end and head back via the greenway.

Coupon Mary, the follow HG to the new coupon location.

Back to the flag… then back for the six, the back to the flag. A very incremental PAX count (only rivaled by the old SNS-Maynard days). Somewhere around 32 is my guess (as I type this in Notes before loading the PAX names). We named FNG Leigh “Sioux”. Full name ‘[A Boy Named] Sioux’. Credit to Brie for the idea early on in the Ocho. Leigh independently referenced A Boy Named Sue when we pondered the spelling of his name at COT, so it was too good to pass up.

We only lost Petey between EC and ME, but we ran for a dang hour+, so granting posting credit.

COT was strong. R2R(2R) was announced, hit up Doula to HC. Reflections on those we’ve lost, but more critically, the ones we still have. Today continues to be a gift, so let’s not miss it.

The fun part for me to reflect on today was this – I think we saw a new milestone for South Cary in the PAX lifecycle. We had an FNG join, catch fire, accelerate, have unmistakable impact on the region at large, leave, start a region, and come back to visit… infusing energy into the last couple days. Thank you Doula for stopping through, it was awesome to see you again.

This week was fun!!! But as I’m sure AKOA can attest, I am very happy that it’s over. Till sometime next week y’all.

Happy to Q this morning. Despite the cold, it was dry nonetheless. 5 boot campers took off. An easy morning for themed workout. I did not plan a themed workout. Moseyed to the parking deck on Crescent. As we stopped for warm ups along the way, my counts inadvertently landed in 14 so kept that going.

Stair work 7s from the low parking lot up to the top of the parking deck. Shoulder tap merkins and jump squats.

Ran across the street to a parking lot for a random “triangle of exercises “. It was suggested to make it a heart, so I obliged. Sets of 10 ab focused exercises at 3 points on the “heart”

Back to flag for 14 pull-ups each before finishing with a Chilcutt hold.

Great chatter today with a fun group.

7 runners came in at various times. Prayers for Henry in his latest treatment and all the people who just need some love today.

WG Ocho Saturday at 5. DDD Feb.22, etc.

Ten at JDI for ‘hint of Strava Art’, consisting of 2 miles of sprinting, and 3 miles of the Q catching up. FWD was peeped across Tryon coming down SCary’s most dangerous hill, which was not intentional. There was also an Enhancements (?) flyby in Lochmere I think… headlamp was v bright!

9 at COT, but Wonderbread rejoined for coffee and bagels. It is a gift to be alive, MIAGD!

Lively group this morning for a speedy 5 in great running temps. We found some hills in the Highlands to get us ready for Uwharrie this weekend. Welcome FNG FEMA! Good times as always.
MIAGD.
