An assortment of upper body and core focused exercises were executed throughout Ritter Park. Some Murph prep was also completed to ensure the PAX are ready for Memorial Day. Finished with some stretching. A good overall workout with zero running.

Made the trek to the Foundry for stop 3 of Squeeze Bag’s flag tour since I missed him at FWD. 2 FNG’s so Shut In’s vision is working. That development is insane.

7 gringos for a cinco de mayo celebration.

5 stations
5 reps of 5 related exercises
5 rounds

Merkins
Squats
Mary
Lunges
Planks

Modified as needed due to time constraints but completed 5 circuits.

Shut in was 5th in the All You Got to the flag and he had the honor of breaking the piñata with a driver. All it took was one swing.

Tamarind candy was divvied up.
Churros and Coffee were served.

Kirkland knows a gentleman’s establishment in every town in Eastern NC and many in the western part of the state.

We walked.
Actually, I was a little surprised by the number of PAX who turned out to simply walk. In fact, many folks said they posted specifically because we were simply walking.
Food for thought.
So, we walked. We traveled from Ritter Park to Hemlock Bluffs. I am happy I listened to the wise counsel of the PAX who suggested we go in the park. Suck it Apex! In the park, we spent precious distance time doing squats but at the end of the day, a new distance record was set so all is well. I called “Have a nice day” at 5:59 AM and I think we logged a tick or two over 2.5 miles. I suppose I need to remind the PAX that I’m not dead yet as folks stepped up to eulogize me during announcements. Again, I suppose, food for thought.
Thank you everyone for coming out this morning. As it appears there is a desire for this kind of workout, I suspect it will come around again.

We ventured off site this morning after Mission, Pledge, and warmups. We moseyed into Summerwinds neighborhood making some stops for merkins, Bobby Hurleys, CDDs, LBCs, & squats. Eventually we made our way down to the lake via an inconspicuous greenway entrance. After a short stint we exited to apartments after stopping for some irkins at playground.

Thang 1 was rotating bear crawls, crab walks, backwards run, and Carioca up to the top of hill at apartments. We exited out to sidewalk and turned back into Waverly for Thang 2: BLIMPS across Whole Foods parking lot. There was still some time to spare so we got a round of Four Corners w/ hand release merkins in before moseying back to flag.

A few announcements and a bunch of prayer requests this morning.

MIAGD!

8 PAX for a 7 themed workout.
No flag so we started with the mission instead. It just felt right to say something.

Mosey to the Tesla chargers for warmups. South Cary stretching was definitely in play (no pigeon though, we weren’t totally mailing it in).
Mosey west up the hill to the church for a set of 7 of diamonds. One exercises each round done at each corner of the diamond. Reps of 7, 14, 21, 28, 21, 14, 7.
Term Paper and Kirkland had a very high WRR, impressive stuff. One discussion was the Merkin Ring of Fire Buzz so we tried it out back at the non-flag. PAX count & merkin but every multiple of 7 or number containing 7 was stated as “Buzz” and the direction of the ring reversed. When PAX fail, restart at 1.
I am proud to say we set a new world record at 53 (previous record 50… your reign is over Franklin) and were still going strong but elected to call it on a high note.
Ended with 1 McDuck.

MIAGD and show those calves to your M’s!

We made it a great morning at Stonecutters today where we celebrated earth week and those that genuinely like to hug trees and furry things. The fellas had different ideas on how to stop global warming and save our world. But the consensus seemed to be: eat less, which in turn reduces farting and other gas emissions, nutrient degradation, toilet paper, baby wipes and landfill space, methane production and the endless flushing and drainage of water down the pipes and running off our lawns, which in turn saves us from the next unplanned close up view of the dark side of Kevin the Elder’s strangely proud moon. Yikes. Until next month, hgTV 5 ChrisR 3, out.

Some studs kicked things off with the Sherpa loophole EC, YHC not included.

For the ME we set off to the medical complex/old folks home. I was alerted that for 3 who attended 88mph this would be the second time this week. Perfect reason to attend an alternate Monday mid-tempo SCary workout! But I digress…

Theme of the Thang was “Spiraling Downhill”, an homage to our lives. After a few audibles to find the right pickle length, we settled into a non-standard DORA with the pickle being up the stairs and spiral back down the ramps.

We capped that by performing 1 McDuck. The PAX really struggled with the name.
Hustled back to the flag in time for a bit of Mary.

Great coffee and discussion of .
MIAGD!

Beautiful morning. Cool enough to be comfortable but warm enough to break a good sweat.

Whether accurate or not it was my belief that 88 workouts rarely left Waverly complex so the plan was to go off site and get a little mileage.

Mosey to Medical office/retirement community with warm up stop on the way.

Thang 1 – starting at level 1 of first deck, go up a flight of stairs and then run the deck down. 2 flights then run down, 3 flights etc. Squats on level 1 each time and merkins each time you emerge from stairs. Starting at 10 each and adding 1 each time. Not as complicated as it may sound and all of the runs were downhill.

Thang 2 – move to the other parking deck. Inflating BOMBS as we worked our way from level 1 to the top.

Mosey back to the flag where the constant questioning by French Lick about lack of SCary stretch was finally rectified just before we arrived. Managed to 1.5 rounds of pigeon for Fruit Loop.

Picnic, Pull ups in May to prep for the Murph.

Prayers – OR procedure Thursday, Kitty Litter- passing of his grandmother and the effect on his Mom, passing of the Pope.

Honored to lead this fine group.

12 stong at Shepherd’s this beautiful Good Friday. Lots of chatter leading up to the 5:30 start, always a sign of a great group.

Over to Craft for a quick warmup, including a broken Rockette Imperial Walkers, and some almost yoga poses.

Partner up for Catch Me if You Can around the parking lot pickle. 10 merkins before catching up with your partner who was running backward, shuffling, or karaoke;

Over to the day care for a ring of fire. 100 Peter Parker Merkins done in sequence upon the PAX count.

Continue toward BJ’s stopping for another ring of fire including squat holds/squats

At BJ’s, a final ring of fire (squat hold/ burpees)

Finish with 7 of diamonds at BJ’s (ab focused), before running back to the flag; only to stop for calf raises and merkins

Beautiful time of year with much to celebrate; Such good fortune to have health and a sound mind to join my brothers in the morning. Shout out to Bubba, who is self admittingly, looking and feeling better than he has in years.

Highland Games tomorrow; not too late to commit
