1. Thanks for posting today. This one was meant to just keep moving and hit all the major muscle groups – nothing too crazy but should keep you sore throughout the day after 500+ reps
2. Good numbers over at SSMinnow’s speed workout as well. Looks like that will become an official workout soon, giving everyone strength and speed options for Fridays.
3. Tclaps to @Riblet for keeping me straight on the exercise order….and for just making it out there! @Ribshack, you done good.
4. @Clueless, you seemed to enjoy those Alternating KB Merkins. Something tells me I’m going to regret bringing those out….
5. Always great to see @ScheduleC on break from his busy #rockstar touring schedule. Now, if he’d just stop running people off with his heckling….
6. @Casper, nice job getting in the missed run. Maybe you’ll start a trend and @Chaos will be doing post-COT SSH every workout…
Pax tibi,
Gamma
Great effort by all. Thanks for playing along.
Good post all & lead @Gamma.
Gamma, Appreciated all the reps. “It doesn’t get easier, but we do get stronger”
Oh yeah… love the plank walk KB merkins… cuts to the core. I did throw some of those in for the post Thanksgiving Day workout. Nice to see them return. Thanks for the strong lead @Gamma.
Great to see @Riblet back out!
Sometimes you come across folks and you wonder… what did they have for breakfast, and can I have some?!? The energy, off the wall comments, and general humor @ScheduleC brings with him does make me wonder. Always enjoyed!
I’ll second that…pretty sure his breakfast consists of skittles, Red Bull and pixie sticks.
@Gamma, great lead this morning. I always enjoy being out in the gloom with everyone. It’s a great time.
So, NOW I’m starting to feel sore from this morning. It’s gonna get me, I can tell.
I was a bit chatty this morning, my apologies, just nice to be able to shoot the bull with all of you guys in the early morning.
Aye!
Tired of wanting to run a 5k and just not getting it done by yourself? “Solo is just a cup.” You need the PAX to hold you accountable.
We will be starting a 5k training program on 2/2 at Hickory Ridge Middle School (meeting every Monday after that until the Harrisburg 5k.) Let us know you are interested here: http://goo.gl/forms/amIzazOUQ5.
We can talk goals during our first meeting
