YHC had a hard time keeping the PAX above an 8 min pace and on route. But the Lochmere route was completed successfully. Great to have such a large crowd on a cool morning.

Yearly mileage goals were achieved, lamented, and projected for futures this morning as the PAX traveled the standard original reverse Just Dough It route. We have been blessed with wonderful weather the past few days to close out the year and there’s still time to get more miles before 2025.

2pm Umstead figure 8 per Full House.

6 bootcampers and 3 run clubbers. After pledging allegiance to the flag, which was present, we set out on our way to train for the Uwharrie Mountain Run, which is only 5 weeks away. In order to do that, we got some trail work in at Hemlock Bluffs, stopping every so often for some of my favorite leg-strengthening exercises including Al Gore jump squats, Stifler’s Mom, monkey humpers, and more. We managed to get all the way around the big loop in Hemlock Bluffs without getting lost. Saw a few deer and heard some frightening noises along the way.

At one point we partnered up and talked about how well we executed our 2024 goals, and what we are looking to accomplish in 2025. While the run clubbers made it to COT on time, the bootcampers were a few minutes late. But that made the grapes taste that much sweeter and the coffee that much more satisfying. Rave reviews are already pouring in for the resurgence of Slippery When Wet, The Place Where Legends Are Made. Congrats to Badda on hitting his mileage goal for the year today (1,500!). Let’s be sure to check in with each other throughout the year to see how we are doing with our 2025 goals. MIAGD and MIAGY.

Nearly dropped the ball on the backblast (thanks @Kiffin) but the route and the fellowship did not disappoint. We cut through a yard, trail ran for 30 seconds and found a cool gravel greenway that ended with a tunnel for little people on Cary Parkway. Nearly 100% coffeteria participation.

MIAGD and have a Merry Christmas

CPD was out in force this morning. While they didn’t catch YHC, they may or may not have slowed YHC down…

The HIMs at Shepherd’s Watch are so strong, they know how to start the pledge without a Q! Fortunately, the pledge finished with 13 PAX and then we got after it

Warm-ups near the soccer fields and then to the other end of the parking lot for 5 penalty burpees.

Thang 1 in the church courtyard with 5, 10, 15, 20 reps of various exercises alternating between arms and legs.
Thang 2 in the east lot with 5 stations, 5 very obvious and clearly communicated stations.

Back to the flag for 2 minutes of plank hold

Today’s theme was JOY. True Joy is not an emotion based on exterior circumstances, but based on what Jesus did for us on the cross. This is the reason we celebrate Christmas and give gifts, to remember that Jesus offers each of us the ultimate gift.

COT prayers for first responders out in force this morning and PAX that may be injured right now.

20 HIM gathered fora nice Kryptonite fly by with a few hills sprinkled in. Great weather and great pace today!

Christmas party this Thursday and the Oakwood 24 this Saturday. Praises WebMD’s new job starting in January and prayers for the families in Wisconsin.

Pleasure to lead and be surrounded by such a fine group. MIAGD!

8 runners ran ( i assume the GTL proposed 10 miler); 6 Boot campers faced the cold in definitely not Pearls on a String. We did however do a warmup and some exercises on the way to the Thang. Thang was a YHC favorite Triple Nickel on the Kildaire hill. The definition of Triple Nickel was questioned and I continue to doubt what it is as i type this. Nonetheless, One legged Merkins were done (5 reps for each leg elevated) at the top of the hill, Zombie Crunches (5 reps of oblique focused crunches on each side) at the bottom. YHC planned more but didn’t realize how far it was from the flag to the hill. 3 miles covered and a variety of body parts were exercised over the morning. Good discussion of worthless baseball cards, grapefruits, pears, Belichick, toys that are too big, and virtual holiday partys. Great group; thanks for letting me lead

14 Fair-Weather F3 bros came out to run the JDI on this awesome run-friendly mid-50s kinda morning.

An attempt was made to draw some Strava art, with mixed feedback from the pax.

Haven’t Q’d in a min so it was nice to come out and lead a workout.

COT – Blessings this Christmas season and prayers to all that sometimes lies heavy and buried in our hearts.

Sign up for the SCary Christmas party.

MIAGD!

Twas a brisk morning for a tour of Lochmere golf course. 13 pax navigated the cart paths up to the Beast of Birklands hill. Pushing up a 20% incline was absolutely the climax of our run, and possible our day! Stories were shared, world problems were solved. Was an honor to lead today.

Reminder about world’s greatest Maynard this Saturday.

YHC prayed for any unspoken prayers, and encouraged everybody to read psalm 139. Which reminds us that each one of us was uniquely and wonderfully made by God! Everybody has a purpose!!

Make it a great day fellas!
