Time to get ready for some gauntlet action next weekend. Nothing like some running and getting REAL close with your bros to get a man prepared!
A wonderful morning- no more gloom and a gentle breeze, 50 deg and warming
19 PAX. Fell one short of Numbtucks’ challenge but still a great showing. Co-QiC Little Miss Piggy and Cheezwhiz, Mickey Mouse, Show Me, Numbtucks, Nimbus 1500230349587, Tebow, 3rd deg, Old Hickory, Stats, Staples, Hush Puppy, Mufasa, TV Guide, Typo +, Kermit, Mr. Opus, Creeper, Sterno
Preparty: led by the one and only KERMIT! a nice opening run to the Elementary school and back — about 2.5 miles
Disclaimer then warm up: BAC-IC, toy soldiers, WillieMaysHays
The Gauntlet touts a challenging 8 mile course, and seeing that it is next weekend…we decided the group needed a little cardio booster today — let’s get some more running in.
RUN: x 1 mile –everyone seemed to still be feeling pretty good, even the prepartiers
Thang 1: GUNS-N-ROWSES !!!
LMP still isn’t sure why CheezWhiz insisted that we not run into the nearby neighborhood to do this thang . Weird. But it did seem that the people driving by were all staring at this bunch of manly-men rising to the challenge and engorging their…backs and biceps!
Attitude adjustment x 10 burpees.
Partner UP–PAX1 stands straddling PAX2 laying on ground. PAX1 does a low row using PAX2 as weight, then PAX2 does a hanging bicep curl on PAX1’s arms. Apocalypse style counting down from 10 to 5, then switched positions and repeat. Man the mumble chatter was classic Nolensville on this one.
Run: x .75 mile end at playground
Thang 2: 10x 10
grab a ledge and we have 10 reps each of Copenhagens, Merkins, and Squats on the minute x 10 minutes — to spice it up we threw a few rounds of different type of merkins.
Run: x.91 miles through neighborhood and back to vehicles = total of 2.66 miles + preparty . I think I heard a final total including PP to be 5.3 miles. Great work.
Plank and wait for the six.
Mary: Grab a small coupon. Circle up.
Split leg WWI with twist x 10 to each leg , American Hammers IC x 25 , single coupon Merkin with pull though x 10.
COT: Count and Name-o-rama. Prayer.
Announcements- Gauntlet next Sat. at 5am ! Be there (if you can)
