17 for bootcamp + 2 runners for 6 mikes. EC variety of rucking and running.

Beautiful day for some pain-sticks.

We squatted, pressed, cheese grated, LBC’d, pickled and great mumble chatter this morning. Main thang was Dora’s painful cousin Debra the Brat.

Put away our stick with 5 minutes to finish and boy did we finish strong.

Grateful for this group. A lot happening this fall. Check slack for details. 1st, 2nd, & 3rd.

Appreciate the opportunity to lead. MIAGD!

We moseyed to the end of the koka booth parking lot for some rock squats and then moseyed to the garmin parking lot for some burpees and merkins with a hill in between. Great times this morning.

Lots of good exercises were completed. A little over 2 miles were covered. Many backwards runs were done. And rain was limited. Glorious morning overall.

Another AMBRR is in the books fellas. A huge shout out to the entire SAG Crew for all they did to make this a successful event. There is a lot that goes on behind the scene leading up to the event and during. I can’t thank them enough for their leadership.

Under the darkness of the early morning sky at 0600, 31 runners set out to achieve something. What that “something” was was different for each of us. Some ran for fun and fellowship, others ran to beat a previous time or distance and others ran to prove to themselves that they could run a 10K or a Half Marathon. Whatever that something was, I am hopeful we all achieved what we intended to.

I am grateful for F3 and how it has impacted my life and for the relationships formed over the past couple of years…

You all crushed it this morning! Do the same the rest of today as well. MIAGD!!!

YHC is nothing if not a man of the people, and when in doubt, give the people what they want. You want taper, you got taper.
Thus commenced 45 minutes of non-stop tapering exercise perfection. Warmups = 10 SSH, then 9 SSH, then 8 SSH, then 7 SSH…you get the idea. Highlights included half the pax BTTW/People’s Chair while the other half do Ring of Fire variants – each and every one dutifully tapered, 20, then 19, then 18 etc. merkins, 2 then 1 double bear crawls around the ring, 20-19-18-etc. wide-grip merkins starting from 6-inch-hold position. A smorgasbord of ingenuity and prowess. HT to @Grisham for his creative interpretations of the straightforwardly-named “double-pump wide grip merkin starting from 6 inch hold”. Long parking lot 3 then 2 then 1 light pole runs, then back to the flag for a tapered Mary. Everything started bigger and got smaller, just as the pax desireth.
Prayers for folks traveling near and far to run places, family communication challenges, and dealing with recurring illness. Take 1 opportunity today to be a leader to someone else, however seemingly small the context; don’t let the pitch go by.
NMS: Best wishes to all this weekend at the BRR, and especially at the @Shipyard Memorial AMBRR Celebrity Race for the Cure.

Today, YHC became the first South Cary Pax to hit 500 posts since the launch of our region. And what better way to celebrate this fine morning than with 500 merkins. 50 sets of 10 merkins, pearls-on-a-string style. I had led a similar workout a couple of years ago and it went over so well that it seemed like the perfect opportunity to do it again. This time the route was an out-and-back to the place where it all stared for F3 South Cary: Loch n Load. Round trip was 2.7 miles. I almost merlot’d shortly after the mid point. Our fearless Nantan Jigglypuff held strong and helped me find the strength to get through without any spillage. Shipyard, Joe Smith, and others kept up the encouragement. We all got through it together. We visited the Swwingers crew for our final set of 10 merkins. I think we interrupted their COT (sorry about that) which they were already in the middle of, even though it was only 0628.

Our COT went a little long. Lots of announcements and prayers and praises. Punch Out brought out yet another FNG (TYFYL). We named him Biles because he told us that what he does for a living is “probably over our heads”. He’s a runner–watch out!

The Swwingers crew came over to join us for a celebratory coffeeteria. They even brought extra coffee. Big thank you to Kitty Litter and Jigglypuff for really going out of their way to get me some sweet merch and some even sweeter Duck Donuts. Apparently Bagels was working this morning so he played a role in all this too. Really feeling blessed to be part of such an amazing group of men. I cannot thank you all enough.

Random thoughts:
– Term Paper was there for the original 500 merkins beatdown but he wasn’t there this time, and I’m sure he’s happy about that.
– Joe Smith is probably an above average attorney, but don’t tell that to FNG’s.
– Most Pax agreed that “football season” did NOT start last night.
– The first college football game was played in 1869 between Princeton and Rutgers. You’re welcome. Love, New Jersey
