A swarm of HIM set out to conquer the Scottish hills of Macgregor. It’s easy to want to push a little more when you see guys out crushing it on mornings like this. MIAGD!

A surprisingly cool-ish morning at Point Break today. 2 Cleaver-ites, 1 run clubber, and 13 bootcampers set off to make themselves better.

Mosey up and around and back down through the astro turf and into the home of 88MPH. Standard-ish warm-ups: SSH, Hillbillies, Seal Claps, and the full SCary Stretch routine (including pigeon).

Onwards to the upper medical lot. Triple pain train was the order of the day. 10 reps at each stop, out and back. First round was merkins, second round was low slow flutters, third round was squats. Big pickle around the buildings between rounds. Bagels and French Lick were the only ones successful in completing all three rounds. TCLAPS.

Mosey back to the flag just in time for 2 LBCs. MIAGD

Announcements: Golf Tournament, Odyssey, 9/11 Stair Climb, AMBRR

Prayers for Jax.

NMS:
– Just a safety reminder to self, all Qs, Site Qs, and PAX. When doing an exercise anywhere, but especially an intersection/parking lot entrance, stick to the side/sidewalk/parking spaces when possible. Particularly when laying on your back. It can be easy to slack here and have a false sense of security, especially when there aren’t typically cars at a given spot, but all it takes is one. Thankful all the pax made it home today.
– Be on the lookout for Sherpa’s Netflix special coming soon. Sure to be entertaining.

8 came out on a great weather morning. No rain and the temp was nice. We set off on an out and back that took us down Kildaire and left on Cary Pkwy down to Lake Pine. A little grumbling at first but by the end we all got what we needed, with some great fellowship as well. A few announcements for the AMBRR and Worlds Greatest Cleaver coming up. No spoken prayers but many thoughts in our minds to lift up. Go MIAGD!

Unofficially, officially launched #ao-daddyball. Rubiks took the Q and we started with a laundry list of warmup exercises – everyone’s least favorite was the Sally up and down song…awful. Then we took to the Cooperstown pedestrian hill for 11s (burpees and squats). Ended with Mary (boat-canoe, American hammers, box cutters and chilcut.

Prayers for Rubiks’ dad and his cancer battle, the baseball team and FNG Pinocchio’s son KG.

13 PAX partook in a loosely themed 44th birthday workout. 44 reps were completed of Freddy Mercs, Merkins, Jump Squats, Heals to Heaven and LBCs at the end. Just under 4 miles were covered. Mumblechatter was strong and counting was weak. Grease Monkey was welcomed back to the Triangle. We need to get him on the South Cary Slack. Thanks all for helping make it a great morning.

JDI ran an out and back to Henry’s house where we stopped and said some prayers for him. Thanks for your support today. Some have asked if the family needs anything right now they have what they need, I’ll reach out if something comes up we can help with.

Prayers also for Stephanie in a recent accident has a long road of recovery ahead.

And that’s all she wrote for the 3rd annual South Cary CSAUP; The 2024 Highland Games.

First things first, BIG UPS to the allstar SAG crew led by @HGTV. You HIMs made this entire CSAUP as effortless as it could be for the participating pax with the support you provided. The crew spent their time, energy, and even their personal funds making this happen for us. TY4FL. YHC, for one, feels surprisingly fresh after running the 12.5 miles and I am going to attribute that to the support crew.

Also a big round of applause to Poncharello, who travelled all the way from the other side of the county (Wake Forest Region) to play the bagpipes and send us running into the GLOOM. SCary is entirely grateful. After a short speech by our very own Nantan, Pocharello wowed us with his musical piece (star spangled banner) in theme with the Scottish Highlands. With that we picked up the shovel flags and collectively hit the road.

@Kitty Litter and @Jigglypuff led us to the entrance of the Greenway where we were instructed to do some warm ups and light stretching. A nice appetizer to what was to come.

First hiccup of the day when the peloton took a wrong turn and ended up on the wrong trail, which we quickly remedied. On the right path and a mile of jogging, we arrived at #ao-fri-slipperywhenwet.

Thang 1 – Our Qs @Amway and @Spayed had the pax teamed up in 3s and had each team find a throwing rock. One team-member handled shot putting the rock over a swampy field while the second and third team member performed dips in the shelter and bear-crawls in parking lot, respectively. When the shot-putter finished his turn, duties were swapped among team-members. 4 rounds and we were done. Winning team won the prize of having to do 5 less burpees than the 10 the losing teams had to perform. Mosey on to the next site.

Thang 2 – Arriving safely, we were greeted by the @Hallmark and @Water Wings at #ao-wed-pointbreak. We were broken up into several teams and we went team vs team pushing two vehicles up the parking lot. The pax were skeptical of the claim that the vehicles were separated in weight by a mere 10 lbs. This was one heck of an effort pushing those vehicles up a slight incline. Done and dusted, we all picked up the shovel flags and moseyed onto the next site a mile up the road.

Thang 3 – #ao-tue-flirtinwithdisaster was our next destination and the Qs here were @Joe Smith and @Banjo (Carpecker). Pax were divided into 2 and one half went to the muddy field near the Greenway entrance for some stubby log tosses while the other half stayed to do a round of caber toss. These strong man exercises were accompanied with Popcorn Marys. Tough stuff here.

Thang 4 – One of the few climbs in the route to reach our destination at #ao-fri-shepherdswatch. @Astro and @Flintstone divided the pax into 4 teams and YHC was marvelled at the efficiency at which the teams were assigned. Almost like grabbing a ticket at the DMV in the form of @Flintstone assigning each pax a number as soon as we entered the location one by one. Good stuff fellas. Tug-O-Wars was the main course here and the smiles on the faces of the pax made it known that we all had a jolly good time. YHC has a grievance that almost all the rounds were won by the team that was pulling on a slight downhill. Conspiracy theory maybe? Shovel flags in hand, the pax headed to the next site, the longest stretch of 1.6 miles.

Thang 5 – Arriving at #ao-sat-lochnload we were surprised to see flag poles, pallets, cinder blocks, ropes, and @HGTV’s smiling face. This surely meant he had something deviously painful in store for us and indeed he did. 4 teams pushed a pallet with a bunch of cinder blocks. The challenge was to go from flag to flag while pulling these pallets with one teammate on board. At each stop, we had an assigned exercise administered by a SAG crewmember. Tough stuff again.

Like the half-time intermission for any competitive event, we were rewarded with one at this point. A cornucopia of cut up fruit, rice-krispies, pickles, mustard, water, gatorade, etc. awaited us. YHC has another conspiracy theory that the guy who was in charge of the bananas accidentally bought plantains instead. I should probably have put eating those plantains as Thang on its own.

Thang 6 – Refreshed the pax were surprised by the unveiling of 4 heavy and dusty tires and a 12-foot long 4×4. This pole was used to carry those 4 tires all the way to #ao-mon-kryptonite and the pax were expected to chip in and take turns without ever laying the contraption on the ground. Running was kept to a minimum because of the awkwardness and weight of the whole operation.

Thang 7 – @Life Alert and @Texas Ranger awaited us at Java Jive and the makeshift #ao-wed-hulkamania site. We threw kickballs into surprisingly flexible and mobile human basketball hoops while lunges were performed for a make and burpees for a miss. It was deemed a race by the Qs so I don’t know if YHC saw even one properly executed lunge or burpee. Regardless, we can all agree that the human-basketball-hoop was the real MVP of this basketball operation. It wasn’t about the shot, it was all about how well the human-hoop moved to assist the making of the errant shots.

Flags on hand and the tire and pole contraption in our collective hands we were off to our final destination, #ao-mon-kryptonite. These final 1.5 miles were tough sledding, but in the end we all made it back, which YHC was grateful for.

COT: SCARY picnic on the 19th of May, various blood drives for you to be a part of, Respect and Honor week coming up, and the naming of FNGs Tide Pod, and Sunkist. Prayers and Prayers!

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. This is how YHC feels after completing the whole route wearing a 20lb ruck-vest (well, the floating part, not the stinging part). It was a great honor to be a part of this operation and once again I want to point the spotlight to the SAG crew. Even though they did not shed a single bead of sweat they still managed to become the MVPs of the CSAUP. Also great thank yous to all the volunteering Qs who showed us a great time all while challenging us at the same time.

Love to all.

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!

16 brought their best this morning at Ritter park. The music was on point and YHC even received a compliment from Blue. I didn’t get through the entire playlist so we will continue on with the same theme next Q.

We also had a flyby from the other guys, they didn’t bring the black rifle coffee so that was a bit rude. @sherpa

A few notes:

Bottoms up carry around the pickle was ambitious

The pace was solid, we started strong with minimal mumble chatter

I need a better Bluetooth speaker

Prayers to the nantan family for a quick stomach bug recovery.

Check #2ndF for the picnic on may 19th and sign up

13 HIM technically crossed the border but we count as a SCary run just the same, as we ventured over to Bruce. Good times were had by all!
Prayers for Bing’s FIL with some medical conditions currently. Coffeeteria was great as always at NYBD.

5 PAX showed up to brave the elements this morning. We set out to meet up with those running the Cleaver for “The Resolution”. Caught up with them near Maynard and joined them until Point Break. Headed back and did a lap around the parking lot to close out with just over 5 miles. Overall it wasn’t that bad out there.
