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.

MIAGD!!!

I ended my vacation early when I saw that the Q spot was open; Abruptly leaving my wife and daughter in paradise, i overspent and inconvenienced myself to get to Ritter Park on Friday morning. 3 boot campers were there and apparently 11 runners, if my math is correct
-First exercise: Wash and wax my truck; This thing aint gonna stay clean by itself; being out of the country all week, there was enough pollen to keep the PAX busy for a view minutes. We waxed on, Karate Kid style, until the sheen was acceptable, then we moved on

-Next up , we moseyed to my house; I needed to get rid of these geese, once and for all; i instructed the PAX to chase down and exterminate by any means; Boy, did they; you should see the look on HGTV’s face with his hands around the neck of those geese.
-Running out of time, we headed back to the flag, losing Yogi and that old guy along the way. I only recall hearing “Come get you some” slowly fading away somewhere around the lake.
-Great work this morning but i had to get back to my vacation; i’ll be sipping Mai Tais while you suckers read this. Thanks for your help this morning though. MIAGD

Have you ever crumbled under pressure? Do you feel that you have ever disappointed God? Today we walked through the story of Peter after being a faithful disciple alongside Jesus for two years, Peter finds himself denying that he even knows him. Only days later, Jesus resurrected, walked on water over to Peter‘s boat. Can you imagine the regret that Peter was feeling? However, instead of Jesus‘s disappointment with Peter, he recommissioned him and gives Peter grace! Today was a reminder that each of us can stumble, but God will always be there for us!

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.

MIAGD!

14 went over the bridges and through MacDonald Woods. Ran into our friends from FWD miles out from their flag. Audible was called on the home stretch to grab an extra half-mile.

Announcements: Highland Games Saturday, Picnic next Saturday

Prayers/praises: unspoken.

NMS: The table stakes for getting to hang out with the fast guys is hauling myself around a 5 mile track. Always inspiring to be around them, so it’s worth it.

TClaps to HoppinJohn for yet another Ocho.

What a great morning at Waverly Place! We had multiple EC options and a strong running contingent during the main event.

After the AO Inspection EC by me and Hallmark, 11 PAX returned via a pearls on a very long string through some parking lots to Ritter Park where we spent about 5 minutes doing curb irkins and pull ups. Quick wave to the Hulkamania PAX and we set off on our return journey via Loch Lomond and the tent-guy-cut-through back to Waverly. Some ambitious exercises at the high ledge by the fountains, featuring the ‘half time’ ALRSUs. Back to the flag just in time. Rejoined with the 12 runners for COT.

It was a last second Q pickup, but I was glad for the opportunity to lead. MIAGD!

Run bros did their thing and 7 HIMs did SB’25 boot camp.

With spring break on the horizon I took the lead and helped these HIMs earn extra calories in the form of future miller lights.

Started with pledge, warmups and a mile mosey. After that we never stopped moving.

Did some 7’s and stair work to get the blood flowing.

Thang 2 was the DE-motivator. 4 exercises in sequence starting at 10 ending at 1. Started with Rocky’s Dog (curb toe taps), high knees, tuck jumps, and squats. The HIMS loved this one!

After talking about how great thang 2 was we headed back to the flag. Doing 3 burpees at each light post.

Got back to the flag for two more motivators! Completed the normal motivator of SSH’s and attempted an all abs variation. We’ll get better at it!

Boot camp is back! Enjoy those beers over SB’25 fellas!

Remember Highland games and picnic in April!

MIAGD!!!
