Weather…hot…muggy…sucky

14 of us moseyed off at 0530 picking up Phidip at Mall Dr where he’d completed approx. 4 miles for his pre-run…pretty weak if you ask me.  As we crested the hill at the Neuro center and lake concord most pax assumed a stop was coming…but not today…time was short for this beatdown so we moseyed on with some grumbles along the way…

Warm-up…it was the 10 minute run, if you weren’t warm by then you need to check your pulse

Arrived at the open to F3 pax of Beverly Hills park at approx 0540 at the playground for the following:
-5 pull-ups at the playground…mosey long way around track to shelter
-20 dips at tables
-Broad-jump burpees across the b-ball court
-Bunny hops up the stairs…those really suck
-Derkins (decline merkin @ Mayweather) on the rock wall…down the hill and rinse and repeat until time called

Time called around 0601 as YHC knew it would take longer to make it back with the hills we had to climb, on top of the beatdown, to get back home.

Mary…we just did Broga

Prayer requests: Frosty’s wife Katie(covid), Lex and Hip recovering well from covid, Anvil’s grandfather (Veteran) being laid to rest tomorrow, people in hurricane Ida’s path, kids back at school, military for their sacrifices and people of Afghanistan.  Last day to order t-shirts is this Thursday.

Moleskin: good group and nice to see El Hab back out as his back is on the mend…he of course had to modify which I know he wasn’t upset about at all and in fact he’d probably prefer to do so each time he’s not leading.  Some whining because of no warm-up…where’s that pearl now @ Tombstone?  This is always a solid beatdown…covering 3.2 miles and having your heart feeling like it wants to jump out of your chest once you finish bunny hops always makes for a nice morning…I feel like we moseyed over here a lot more back in the day but maybe it was just on Saturdays when you had that extra 15 minutes or maybe we’re just softer now…nevertheless, I believe most pax completed at least 2-3 rounds before we had to mosey back.  Not a lot of chatter as you couldn’t breathe between the beatdown and the weather….looking forward to fall but not Catfish’s football workout.  We also had some nice coffee time and good to see Old Marlboro at coffee and hope to see him back in the gloom soon.

GO HOKIES!!

Always an honor,
