July 14th, 2020 By Disaster

Nine men showed up in the gloom at Highland Creek Golf Club this morning only to regret their decision once they saw who the Q would be. Things only got worse when YHC informed them that, yes, there would be a lot of running just like every other one of my beatdowns. In my defense, I posted quite clearly in both Slack and the Sign Up Genius that there would be plenty of running. Mostly for the health of current injury recoverers like @Brinkley and @Snowsuit. After the standard disclaimer that included the rules of social distancing we were off down Highland Creek Parkway for what would turn out to be a rather lengthy lap around the firehouse loop. Here’s how it went down.

Mosey down Highland Creek Parkway.

Stop for 19 Side Straddle Hops IC

Mosey down to the crosswalk

Stop for 10 Imperial Stormtroopers IC

Cross the street to the other side

Stop for 10 Nose Pickers IC

Mosey down to the bottom of the hill

Stop for 10 Mountain Climbers IC

Mosey around the corner to the hill by the entrance to the school

10X2 ladder on the hill with Jump Squats at the top and WW2 Situps at the bottom

Mosey to the bottom of the haunted hill for some speed work on the hill

In three groups of three, fartleks up the hiil, alternating sprinting and jogging after each tree

In three groups of three, side shuffles down the hill, alternating left and right shuffles after each tree

In three groups of three, run back up the hill, alternating forwards and backwards runs after each tree

Regroup at the stop sign and mosey over towards the dead end cul-de-sac

Jack Webb ladder as a group, ascending one to ten by ones, alternating merkins and standing air presses

Mosey up Street Street towards the baseball fields

Stop for 10 Air Squats IC. Follow with 10 Low Slow Squats IC. Hold Al Gore for a ten count.

Mosey over to the big hill behind the baseball fields

10X2 ladder on the hill with Jump Squats at the top and Monkey Humpers (yay!) at the bottom

Mosey on up the street towards the speed bump

Lunge walk up the street until the Q gets bored

Mosey up to the corner of Ridge Road

Stop for 10 CDD IC

Mosey up to the third parking sign

Stop for 30 LBC OYO

Mosey up to the corner of Shelley Avenue

Bear crawl down the sidewalk until the Q gets bored

Mosey down Shelley Avenue towards the Elementary School

Stop at the big curve for Rocky Balboas with punching action

Mosey down to the guard rails

On the rails, 20 dips, 15 inclined merkins, 10 declined merkins. Repeato

Mosey down to the next big street sign

Stop for 25 low flutters (two legs = one) OYO

Mosey up to the street corner at Highland Creek Parkway

Stop for 20 monkey humpers OYO (yay!) butts facing the cars as they drive by (good morning neighbors!)

Mosey across the street and return to the golf club parking lot

What goes up must come down. Jack Webb reverse ladder (Webb Jack?) as a group, descending from ten to one by ones, alternating merkins and standing air presses

No time for Mary but we kind of did it along the way anyway

COT and Prayer

MOLESKIN

1. Thanks to everyone who came out today. It was a nice sized group and there was plenty of fun mumblechatter along the way. Hopefully the running was broken up into small enough chunks that it didn’t feel like an early cruise.
2. Don’t forget the Skywalker Anniversary this Friday at 530AM (yawn!). There will be no Cardio workout at Highlands on Friday.
3. F3 Dads camping in two weeks July 24-26 in Montreat NC. We have had several dads drop out so there are plenty of good spots available. Kids ranging from 4-16 will be there. Contact @Nanny on Slack if you want additional information.
