FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Beautiful

WARMUP: Mosey around the school, dynamic warmup, dynamic stretching, static stretching

THE THANG: Hearkening back to my track days we ran 200m repeats with a 150m jog and 50m walk in between. No stopping, rolling right into the next rep. Great pacing by the pack keeping each lap within ~15 seconds.

An anti-running contingent performed a traveling exercise-a-palooza around the loop.

Groups reconvened for 10 minutes of Mary, a round of Big 10 er… 11 (10 merkins, 1 WW1, 9 merkins, 2 WW1 and so on), and some side straddle hops to reach 6:15.

MOLESKINE: Keeping an eye on a future attempt to break the marathon record via PAX relay event; we would have to double our pace on those 200s, and do so across 10 reps instead of 6 (with considerably more rest in between, but point being we’ve got our work cut out for us)!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: No major announcements following last week’s convergences. Brewsday is always on the horizon.

COT: Prayers for the future of our country, and a meditation on embodying the personal improvement path of the ultimate meritocracy; track and field.

THE THANG: Back 2 School!! :books:

School Bus Route :bus: :octagonal_sign:
Start with a one-mile Indian run “school bus” around the perimeter. Every time the rotation completes the stop sign comes out and the PAX have to give 10 Prisoner Squats. After all, schools are basically prisons. Aim for 100+ squats, 10+ stops.

Route went southeast to the corner, northeast past the playground and then up behind the school. Continue to tennis courts and turn left to cut up through the middle of the AO past startex. Turn right at Lone Oak on the sidewalk and reenter the park on the small path. Turn right onto the main field path, make a full loop and return to started.

Core Subjects :male-teacher:
Split into 5 groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the parking lot loop 2x. The other groups split up and go to 1 of 4 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return. Repeato with the timer group running 1 lap instead of 2.

English
– “Apart” vs “a part”
– Hello Dollys, spread those legs “apart”

Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers

Science
– Inertia
– J-Lo’s, it takes force to stop movement in a given direction

History
– First public school in the country predates the country’s founding
– Boston Latin School founded in 1635
– 1 Clerkin, 6 Supermans, 3 Peter Parkers, 5 Mountain Climbers

Once PAX complete each station and are back to their “homeroom”, they serve detention. Complete 20 burpees. SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise more burpees, repeat til successful.

MOLESKINE:
YHC was sucking wind after the bus route and appreciated the pace pushers who made it more of a challenge. The sunrise was so nice the Q called a Salute the Sunrise between the sets with a 10 burpee salute. As for detention, the PAX didn’t get out of detention immediately, but they were much more eager to avoid the burpees the second time and got out after only 2 rounds.

Also of note, sooner finally pulled a great name out of his hat and gets credit for Pollo Loco, who was a fantastic EH apparently by Michelin Man though the Mich himself was not in attendance :eyes:

YHC also brought some home-brewed Gatorade for coffeeteeria. If there was ever a morning for it, this was it, and it hit the spot as a preamble to sooner’s excellent carafe of bean juice.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– U-Haul themed workout this Saturday AM for Detective Pikachu
– brewsday next Tuesday @ 12S Taproom, 4:30p
– 10th Anniversary of F3 Nashville coming up on 9/13

COT:
Prayers for…
– Pole Dancer’s wife in the job search, turned out down, looking for the right fit
– sooner spoke for all parents & kids coming into the school year, prayers for a clean sheet for the rest of summer to start the school year off right
– YHC shared prayers for my wife with the due date 1 month away, prayers for a healthy full term baby and a smooth delivery

Men, Cal Worthington once again mentioned this may be his last week in Nashville, and while that may or may not be true, I do want to share a hearty thank you for the energy and camaraderie he’s brought during his extended time with us. Be sure to say thanks and send him off well throughout the week!

It’s always an honor to lead you men – thanks for an excellent morning, wouldn’t have wanted to spend it any other way!

FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: A little reprieve from the swampiness, somewhere around 75° :sunrise:

WARMUP:
Made a circle. PAX alternated doing 13 (or more…) squats and doing one of these exercises for a minute: arm circles, imperial walkers, pitcher’s stretch, lunges, reverse lunges, Bonnie Blairs, fire hydrants, donkey kicks (“the wrong way” says Cowboy, his way was better), mountain climbers, Lt. Dans, peoples chair, around the world lunges, and more squats. And we took turns planking during the exercises.

THE THANG:
>From home plate, one PAX pulls the Frisbee and bernies around the bases while the rest of the PAX play defense and try to tag him out. No running with the disc, no force outs, round as many bases as you can. Record was 5 bases (home run + single).

Closed with 5 minutes of Mary and stretching.

MOLESKIN:
:dagger_knife: Star Blade McCoy has only been posting for 2 weeks and is moving away in 6 weeks. A lesser man would’ve said “there’s no time to start something new.” Star Blade said “I’ll do the right thing right now” and found a group of other HIMs to make him better.

:man-lifting-weights: By my count, we did 2,532 squats altogether – including the 10 I gave DP for his sarcasm during the COT. Thanks Toothless for the coffee. Thanks Oatmeal for being AOQ and an encourager. Picture already posted above! :point_up_2:
