All All MECA BackblastsJanuary 20th, 2015
16 Harrisburg anti-#Resolutionaries took a few laps around the track and set specific, measurable goals for our next lap around the sun. It went something like this:

- Windmill x10
- SSH x20
- 10 Jump Squats OYO
- Merkins x10
- LBC x10
- Squats x10
- One minute plank: ask pax to name some fitness goals met in 2014 (completing first half marathon or first marathon; Blue Ridge Relay; lost weight; PRing race times; USMC Mud Run); then ask everyone to think about their one top fitness goal for 2015.
THE THANG

- Walking lunge to turn 2
- Sprint to turn 3 and repeato merkins, LBC, squats, and plank while each member of the pax shares the limiting factors that can stop them from reaching their stated goal (lack of discipline; bad nutrition; injury; lack of sleep; not putting workouts on the calendar, etc.)

My 2015 goals: lose (and keep off) 20 pounds and complete the Spartan Trifecta.
Challenging as always Gapper. You did a great job making us work hard. 2015 goal is the run a full marathon.
Great workout.
The motivational aspect was neat twist.
6 pack abs here I come.
Good on @Gapper, Aye! Ha, loved the real #Weinke… You just took it to the next level. 2015 goal – run a full marathon, probably thunder road.
@RibShack – you’ve def kept up with me more than a mile. Just 12 more to go.
Nice one, until the dizziness kicked in.
Goal: Reduce sugar, dairy and grain consumption (more veggies, yuck!). Looking for those six pack abs like @Posh.
Awesome lead Gapper. Nice twist on the 2015 goals. Wish I was there. #accountability.
@Gapper ….there was no hiding in the crowd for this workout….you pulled these goals out of the @PAX….way to get us talking and committing…I’m going to keep my cholesterol in check via good eats
@Gapper, looked like a good one.
2015 Goals – 3 Sprint Tri’s (possibly Huntersville or Hickory, definitely Ballantyne in July, and the Jimmie Johnson one in September).
*Additional goals….get some F3 PAX to do the University City Duathlon as well as join me at the sprint tri’s.
join me at Tri Latta 6/13. Hootie and Frodo (Highlands) are in for UC Duathlon. Let me know when you’re riding – I get out Sunday afternoons
