On the way back, we had the absolute honor of being joined by Burns, the only member of the 0505 group, and I realized it\u2019s been way too long since I\u2019ve gotten to be around great people like these guys. Struggling with knee\/calf\/\u2019being 40+\u2019 issues for the past few months, this was the longest run I\u2019ve had since the spring, and I\u2019m hopeful to be out more often!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just when the upper 50s morning couldn\u2019t get much better, we came back to a parking lot with Green Acres, Boomerang, Pony Express, Superfly, and Boomhauer. The mission was stated, the 5 core principles were shared (in no particular order), and the beatdown began.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>WoR<\/strong> IC: SSH, IW, AV, &amp; MP (or, as the 8-year olds on my daughter\u2019s soccer team calls them \u201cback claps\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mosey to the Pool Deck, stopping for 10 mountain climbers (each side) along the way, totaling 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Pool Deck<\/strong>: 20x each of durkins, merkins, irkins, and dips, with a walk down the stairs in between each \u2018-kin\u2019 for 20x squat jumps<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mosey to the Rock Pile, stopping for 10 mountain climbers (each side) along the way, totaling 50 more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Rock Pile<\/strong>: We gathered at the light and instructions were given. At each of the 4 \u201ccorners\u201d of the traffic circle, stop and do 20x each of both called exercises, with lunge walks in between.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#1: Chest press &amp; curls<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#2: Overhead press &amp; BOR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Time was called, rocks were stashed (some a little too hastily), and we moseyed (no MC this time) to the start for Mary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Mary<\/strong>: A variety of exercises were called, most in cadence (though not H2H\u2026whoops), with 10x LBCs in between each exercise. Finish it out with Banana + Superman (idea stolen from Greenspan), and\u2026time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Announcements:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adopt a Street this weekend, check Slack<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Greenspan needs help Monday evening at Samaritan&#8217;s Ministry<\/li>\n<li>Sam and Eggs breakfast is coming up, September 25th, 07:30<\/li>\n<li>Thanksgiving convergence at Speas will be Q\u2019d by Green Acres, kids\/significant others all invited<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Prayer Requests:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Superfly\u2019s dad passed away Tuesday<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Naked Man Moleskin:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As stated above, Bam and Wobegon have graciously included me in messages and runs before TRQ, even though my attendance has been very sporadic as I\u2019ve been dealing with injuries. To feel included, like you\u2019re a part of a group, is incredibly powerful, and I thank you both for that.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Found out that Wobegon is a \u201cFriend of the Pod\u201d like me<\/li>\n<li>I was able to grow tomatoes, green peppers, spinach, and romaine so far this year (as well as 3 volunteer pumpkins). All credit to Burns, who came and helped me re-think my garden last year. One day I hope my thumb is as green as his.<\/li>\n<li>Always great to post with Boomerang, whom my family has known for years, long before I knew him as Boomerang. Now that my dad is on a weight loss kick (and weighs the least he\u2019s weighed this century), you think we\u2019ll ever get him to post?<\/li>\n<li>Pony Express may or may not have a frozen Thanksgiving turkey from last year\u2019s beatdown that he may or may not bring to this year\u2019s<\/li>\n<li>Great posting with Boomhauer, who I have met once or twice before<\/li>\n<li>In the COT, I passed out handmade notes of encouragement that my kids designed. Superfly said it was one of the best gifts he\u2019s gotten from a workout. I told this to my kids and they ABSOLUTELY BEAMED with pride. Thank YOU for encouraging them!<\/li>\n<li>I also told my girls to draw the strongest person they could, and Millie (my 8 yo) drew a guy one-arm overhead pressing \u201ca hundred million pounds\u201d (her words). I, of course, gave this to Green Acres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GA, the keys are back in your mighty strong hands.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was joined in the early morning Gloom by Bam &amp; Wobegon, who welcomed me back with open arms to the TRQ Run Club.
