10 campers and 4 brOchos hit the waves this morning. I had no elaborate plan but to see how many showed up and wing it. Pledge and we are off.

Mosey for a flying Ray warmup. Stop at BK to stretch it your way. Continue on to Whole Foods for some no fluff added standards. Continue on to the bottom of all hills and man did those baked goods smell delicious OTW!

Grab a coupon and a compadre. Mosey up to the fountains. Partner Dora with a twist. One does the standard merkins/squats/LBCs while the partner carries the coupon up and around the pickle. Everyone hit 3 carries each but counting was questionable.

Return our coupons to the bottom. Mosey to finish the sting ray. Back to the flag for Mary. One PAX’s signature was stolen so he had to think fast. 100’s then HAND!

Major trouble counting at COT. 10 no 12 no 16 no 14. Prizes for the Merkin Champs were handed out. OTW got his Perfect Push-up gift set. Nabs got some epsom salt and recovery cream/gel.

Shirt order still live for the Highland Games, which are 4/19. Sign up for the picnic 4/27. MIAGD!

Six showed up on a fine morning to get a good rack, I mean ruck. Great route suggestion by Trickle. We got in squats and merkins at corner stops and at two strategic locations. Great mumblechatter this morning!

Announcements for Highland Games, picnic and a few other events. Prayers for Petey, for Gravel Mouths grandad and praises for Quivers family member and their job situation and Kidklands 2.0’s birthday today. Great time out there this morning. MIAGD!

@kirkland and I sojourn into Carpex to try on the Next Level AO for size. The fit is great. Focus on weights, form, and stretching. This was the soft launch and I expect they will tweak a few things but there are some great bones here.

Great turnout for our soft launch / first attempt at having a 3rdF-focused Saturday run group. We discussed Luke 9:23-24 along the way and the conversation went to all kinds of places, from sacrifice and prayer to jobs, to societal shifts, to basketball, to managing finances, to a brief detour about public schools, to teaching our kids about frugality and needs versus wants, and more. 4.6ish miles covered. Finished with Mary at LNL. Thanks for coming out today guys, I hope it catches on. Let’s take up that cross daily. MIAGD.

It was a beautiful morning in SCary and 24 strong posted to take advantage! The clock struck 6:30 and a disclaimer was stumbled through. The pledge was pledged and we left the parking lot on a slow warm-up mosey. Some went right, most went left down to the tennis courts for some flying warmups.

Half ran the pickle, half AMRAP’d the called exercise.
SSH
Mountain Climbers
Plank Jacks

Depart the tennis courts and over to the first round-about. This is where I called Dora’s pet mouse, “Speedy Gonzales”.
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 squats
While your partner sprints the round-about.

Then we did an 8+2 up the hill to the flag. 8 steps bear crawl, 2 merkins, wash, rinse, repeat to the flag.

At the flag repeat the “Speedy Gonzales” on the larger round-about
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 LBC’s
Afterwards, reverse it.

Drop down for SCary stretch and afterwards, slow mosey to the bottom of the parking lot.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot to the flag, recover mosey around the round-about and back down the hill.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot half the distance and then circle up for popcorn Merry. We finished up with an @amway honoring set of 20 Merkins.
PERFECT!

NMS
– Perhaps the weather is such to put away the oodie till next season
– Shoutout to @amway for putting on a spectacular F3 challenge – the bar has now been set pretty high
– Thank you for all who posted this morning! While yes, I do enjoy the energy of a smaller group, you just can’t beat the energy of a large group on occasion.
– As discussed in COT we have an amazing culture in SCARY! We each contribute to that culture one way or another and we shouldn’t take it for granted.
– I am honored to count each of you in my circle of friends!

10 bootcampers and 2 SWOcho broz on a brisk morning at the premier Friday AO. Mission and core principles given for pseudo FNG life alert. Mosey and standard warm-ups and then over to thang 1.

Thang 1 was the famed Shepherd’s Watch 1 mile challenge. 5 laps, give it all you can. I’m here to tell you, Water Wings is back! And it’s great to see. Strong efforts all around. Life Alert would have broken 6 min with a running start.

Thang 2 was a core Dora. H2M, angry penguins, and LBCs…100, 200, 300. Somehow Kirkland kept ended up doing merkins.

Thang 3 alternating between bear crawls and lunge walks between tree islands. The YHC can now confirm that it’s hard to do these if you actually do them.

Back to the flag for some popcorn Mary, which featured two people calling merkins, and then HAND. Announcements. Prayers for Flintstone single dadding for a week while his M is overseas. MIAGD, gents!

YHC is happy to report there was no mailing it in at Thunderstruck this AM on the day YHC turned 46. We started off with the Pledge and moseyed to a cul de sac for 23 rep warmups.

Thang 1 had us heading towards the YMCA stopping at light pole pain stations for 23 reps. Merkins were merked. We turned into a neighborhood at end of sidewalk and continued our 23 rep stops mixing in some new exercises on the way to pool parking lot.

Thang 2 was alternating rounds of crab walk/lunge walk and bear crawl/lunge walk across length of lot. We moseyed back to flag with a few more stops including some monkey humpers along Ten Ten for good measure.

Announcements: Blood Drive, South Cary Picnic, Highland Games, Stations of the Cross.
Prayers and praises sent.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. MIAGD!

Temps were high, as was the workout tempo. PB flag is on the IR so we pledged to the CFA flag and took off for the grassy area for warmups, including the motivator led by Flintstone.

Thang 1 – 12 min of up and down the stairs. Except for one Pax who kept on modifying to do merkins at the bottom. HTSI.

Thang 2 – over to the building in the back for out and backs with exercises at each tree island. Run to the first island for 2 merks and 2 jump squats. Then run back to the start. Then to the second tree island for 4 of each and so on until we completed our 12 even only combinatorial set. Quick round of mary while the six came in.

Back to the flag for another Flintstone motivator! Then regular Mary.

Plentiful announcements. Prayers for Yogi.

7 SCary HIMs and 1 Peak City Voyeur met in the gloom and gave it there all on this beautiful crisp morning. Big tip of the cap to Kirkland and Term Paper for the inspiration for today’s beatdown. The game was simple. No FNGs, No disclaimers, no pledge. Off we went for a quick warmup as we weaved the balls and painted the lines. Standard warmup exercises. A couple rounds of merkins to get the blood pumping and then we were off. Down the trail to the fork in the road. Lo and behold the wheel of pain was waiting for us in all its glory. Something must have been wrong with the wheel today as it kept coming up MERKIN. We did a window wiper pattern down the trails where we did merkins at the bridge, the gate at top of hill, and the parking lot. Rinse and repeat until I almost passed out. Many hundreds of MERKINS were completed. No mailing it in today. effort given by all PAX. Ended with COT and peace pipe with Cheap Trick. Lots of fun and laughs this morning. MIAGD!
