zombies met up at Swift Creek Middle to go on the road for some easy miles. This week’s IPC was already a speed workout, so no speed work this week, and no need to double up on Thursday. Always great to catch up with Boberry!
We gathered in the gloom on a surprisingly foggy morning to try out a new route on the roads less traveled in Windsor Farms. 4s–South across Cross Cary onto Berkshire which turns into Sulgrave. Out and backs on Long Ln, Stockton Ln, St. Davids Ln, Marston Ln. Return on Gun Club, L on Queen Charlotte to Cary, Malvern to Grove back to flag. 5s–Same as 4s, but add in Clovelly Rd. with a fork on Lynton Ln. 6s–Same as 5s, but from Berkshire turn R onto Dover and then L on Lock Ln to end. R on Park which takes…
4 lumberjacks made it to The Yard to add some sweat to the asphalt. We were pleased to see Murr made it out (as soon as I saw him I knew where the name came from, good job whoever came up with that) and he brought an FNG! The FNG works for a chemical company doing “wrench turning” as he calls it. Choo Choo was trying to think of uranium as a name, but he kept saying Uranus and that just wasn’t going to fly with the FNG. We compromised on Dexter from Dexter’s Lab. Welcome Dexter! Warmup: Mosey to…

One intrepid warrior of The Gloom threw off the pull of the Fart Sack (and last night’s tequila old fashioneds) to hit the mean (ok, the office park) streets of Plantation. Temps were 75 and sunny. According to the restaurant worker (lady) who came out of the office building at 5:20 a.m. to see YHC unexpectedly 15 feet away, the following might have happened: 2 loops around the lake, using various routes / paths / etc. No scream (thank Heavens) when the lady came flying out of the building, never looked to her right, and then realized someone was close…
24 warriors posted at what would be a record at circus Maximus for a 9/11 remembrance kettle bell beatdown. A few comments and mumble chatter to start the day and of course an expertly planned set list for our patriotic themed rendition of 2,200 stairs to ascend with your bell. Some cadence chatter got us all in the mood ( never could time it right) but we move anyway! History: AA 11 – hit the wtc first UA 93 – fought back and crashed in Pennsylvania AA 77 – crashed into the pentagon UA 175 – hit the second tower…

YHC showed up to The Forge today for his first Q. What a great place to workout and even better HIM’s showed up today to take part in YHC’s 9/11 memorial themed workout. Warmarama: Jog down light pole alley stopping at the bottom of the hill for a little 3-minute plank. This 3 minute plank honors the nearly 3,000 people who died on 9/11.

YHC is in Va Beach today for meetings, so I decided to get a DR post in and got on the handy F3 Near Me and found a nearby bootcamp. Ever the eager beaver (or really worried about getting lost), I was early. I pull into the parking lot with 12 minutes to spare and guys are moving around. Turns out, we are starting early because this is Iron Pax 1 – a 50-minute workout. Womp Womp. Oh well, suck it up buttercup. some stretching and warmup and then off to the track for increasing rounds of Thrusters (with 35…
A handsome HIM foursome converged at The Crossing for amazing conversation and barely completing Alphabet 50’s – which as you can guess is doing 50’s for each letter of the alphabet with a mosey in between. Twas a great time. Prayers for school stress, anxiety, job stressors, and safety for upcoming travel. See ya’ll on the flip side, AYE! ~DTH
