Anniversary Eve

Date: 1/7/22

PAX: Weasley, Lamb Chop, Root Canal, Spicoli, Ol’ Bay, Crash, Decal, Third Wheel, Greenspan

Cold morning.  Crash was crazy enough to get a warm up run in with YHC.  When we returned, there were several unfamiliar faces.  We thought F45 had invaded our turf again.  In fact, we had two downrange pax (Decal and Third Wheel) and two hometown pax that YHC has not had the pleasure of exercising with (or at least no memory of that).  After greetings were made, YHC offered the pax the option of starting warm up on the ground or in the air.  Lamb Chop was quick to answer, “In the air.”  So we got started.

Warmarama:

SSHs, Abe Vigoda, Whirlies, Downward/Upward Dog combo, Dive Bombers, Stretch Etchy.

The Thang:

We moseyed up Patterson to the Biotech parking lot.  Seven was the lucky number of the day since tomorrow is the eighth F3WS anniversary workout.  We did:

  • Squat jumps
  • Hand-Release Merkins
  • Freddie Mercs
  • Bonnie Blairs

All x 7.

Then, mosey down to the railroad tracks on 6th Street.  Sprint (or however you could) up to North Church Street, then complete Dan Taylors x 7.  Repeato x 7.

Then, on the busy corner, Monkey Humpers x 49.

Sprint to 5th Street.  Step up on curbs for single-legged calf raises x 21.

We entered the adjacent parking lot for:

  • Romanian Deadlifts x 14 (DC)
  • Single-Legged Glute Bridges x 14 (DC)

Cross 5th Steet and enter the parking deck:

  • Pull-Ups x 7 on the trestle
  • Sprint up one level
  • Wall sit

We repeated 3 times and mixed in single-legged wall sits, Jack Reachers, and Kankans.

Mosey back to launch for Mary:

  • Flight Attendants, Mutton Crunch, WW3s

Time.

NMM:

  • YHC announced that this would be a leg-heavy workout; that’s mostly due to planking for 45 minutes yesterday at TRQ.
  • Spicoli noted that we had attempted Romanian Deadlifts during Monday’s Village Idiocy but everyone kept being blown over by the wind. No such problem today.
  • Lamb Chop wasn’t challenged in the least by the hill sprints and so asked to run backwards. Request granted.
  • Ol’ Bay’s beard game is strong. He was the frontrunner on the hill sprints as well….except for that one time when Crash just nitroed up the hill.  It was remarkable.  Crash commented, “I’ve got one of those in me per workout.”  YHC also got to enjoy some great second F with Crash during the pre-workout EC run, a meetup finalized by a 0100 (1 am) Slack message.
  • Root Canal did not approve of YHC’s version of Stretchy Etchy. “You’re doing it wrong!”
  • Third Wheel and Decal were in town on business from Georgia, staying at the downtown Marriot. They’ll be here every 6-8 weeks, so look for them.  They also seemed interested in the convergence tomorrow.
  • The out of towners, Third Wheel & Decal, along with Weasley and Ol’ Bay brought a refreshing energy to YHC’s morning. YHC’s affection for Lamb Chop, Root Toot, and Spicoli should be well known, but having some unfamiliar faces there is a great reminder that this bigger than us as individuals.  Get those EHs going.

Post Hole, the keys were left on the trestle, as usual.  Thanks for thinking of me.

Announcements:

  • Eight-year anniversary on Saturday, 1/8/22, at Hanes Park. There will be a 6 am Murph beforehand.
  • Beverly’s birthday party, 1/15/22, at Kimberly Park. Join him for 1, 10, or all 44 miles.  T-claps.

Prayer Requests: 

  • Covid surge.
  • Consistency for Ol’Bay to get back into shape.
  • Patience for Third Wheel with his two young kids.
  • Spicoli’s family as they anticipate the arrival of his daughter, Spicola, in two weeks.

YHC took us out, praying for those items lifted up.
