12 Booters, 6 Runners, 7 Coupons
6 teams of 2, 4 teams of 3, and 2 teams of 6
The bootcamp was a lot of running in circles and sometimes carrying coupons. Team 2 beat Team 1 with 28 laps compared to like 7 or 8…but I trust their score was accurate.

OK enough about the workout. The best part was after we took off from the flag. As we circled the lot @Term Paper looks to the paviliion and sees a group of guys and says, “Oh look there’s some guys, wow they are even doing the pledge…..and have a flag!” That’s when pax politely filled him in that that was SWWINGERS! Bhahaha!!

It was a great morning – well the company was, the humidity was NOT. Make it a great weekend!!

Heavy rain turned to light rain or maybe we just got used to the rain, not sure but it was a great morning either way. Ran some miles, splashed in some puddles and chatted it up along the way.

Two weeks from today, May 27, running to Henry’s house to celebrate completing his cancer treatments!! Be there!!

5 for the EC

Started with a mosey and then warmed up with some SSH and merkins. Made our way to Garmin for 7s with Burpees and squats. Medium paced Indian run to Ederlee where we paused for some LBCs. Moseyed to parking deck for monkey humpers and Mtn climbers on the stairs. Hit the Ave hill one final time and headed back to the flag for some merkins and Mary.

Beautiful morning with some great guys.

Prayers for Denali selling his business

12 pax showed up for a brisk morning dough it run and 1 did the doughcho (Hoppin John). Good route with consistent mix of hills and a good pace by all!

Coffee was enjoyed by most. Not sure what ended up happening to Hoppin John’s bagels! They may have made it back to the break room at Glenaire……

Reminder to get out and run The Maynard at least once this week! Upcoming dough it run to Henry’s house and back….date to be confirmed.

Prayers for Life Alerts family trip to Florida ( for safe travels and sanity).

What a great way to kick of a Friday. We started out with six PAX and after the pledge nature called one of them so the remaining five headed out for beatdown. YHC executed his standard Thangs which included four corners (6 or 7 rounds varying exercises each round). Hill repeats with ascending squats (5, 10,15,20,25,30) and lastly level out and backs with ascending shoulder taps (left/right = 1 same rep count as squat). We headed back to the flag stopping for dips and urkins. Finished up with plank/chill cut until all the runners got in then HAND.

A little moist this morning, but all in all, great weather and better fellowship.

It’s always an honor to lead. I appreciate all of you.

A dozen goombahs set out on a mostly-run workout with perhaps the most Jersey Italian guy in SCary.

The Pax were advised to stretch prior to the workout, as is recommended in Freed To Lead. We departed promptly at 0515 as we had much ground to cover. Ran about a mile to the Regus parking lot where we did a warmup round of 10 American Hammers, much to Hermes’ disappointment as he said we were wasting precious running time.

We then proceeded through the pathway behind Lifetime to get us over to Ritter, where we did a flyby of the Stonecutters crew and flag. We also stopped for a quick Thang which included 20 pull-ups OYO and while you weren’t going pull-ups, you did burpees. Once everyone was done, we ran the greenway back to Regency Pkwy for a set of American Sledgehammers. Then we went up to the Caterpillar parking lot where we did some catch-me-if-you-can and then did a round of American Sledgehammers at the location where that exercise was born 3 years ago. Back to the flag as the clock struck 6.

There was a lot of disappointment today. Hermes didn’t get the all-running workout he wanted. Enhancements didn’t get his Good Mornings. All I wanted was a coffee and some pound cake, but after hearing about how that would cost $7 at Starbucks, we decided to head over to NYBD instead, where I felt right at home. MIAGD.

14 PAX showed up this morning outside NYBD. An easy out and back down Kildare toward Maynard with a little loop around kilmayne added a little extra mileage and pushed the group to get back in time for the COT! Conversation was had, PRs were set, and coffee was enjoyed. Excellent work all around!

Signups still open for the South Cary picnic. Prayers for Petey as he continues to show strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Prayers for the Qs extended family as they learn to forgive and embrace eachother through difficult times.

Praises to the group for continuing to show up and push each other daily.

12 stong at Shepherd’s this beautiful Good Friday. Lots of chatter leading up to the 5:30 start, always a sign of a great group.

Over to Craft for a quick warmup, including a broken Rockette Imperial Walkers, and some almost yoga poses.

Partner up for Catch Me if You Can around the parking lot pickle. 10 merkins before catching up with your partner who was running backward, shuffling, or karaoke;

Over to the day care for a ring of fire. 100 Peter Parker Merkins done in sequence upon the PAX count.

Continue toward BJ’s stopping for another ring of fire including squat holds/squats

At BJ’s, a final ring of fire (squat hold/ burpees)

Finish with 7 of diamonds at BJ’s (ab focused), before running back to the flag; only to stop for calf raises and merkins

Beautiful time of year with much to celebrate; Such good fortune to have health and a sound mind to join my brothers in the morning. Shout out to Bubba, who is self admittingly, looking and feeling better than he has in years.

Highland Games tomorrow; not too late to commit
