Post-BRR BLIMPS

Preamble:

YHC signed up for a Bday Q wayyyy back at the beginning of the year.  Turns out, it was 3 days after the Blue Ridge Relay!  Lesson learned for next year.  That being said, I was excited to get back to the ‘con to see my fellow Pax, and the weather was PERFECT–felt like Fall may be just around the corner.

2 for the pre-run (Lumbergh and Lefty) with Irene arriving 1 minute late and missing the pre-run train, so he completed a solo pre-run.

A low-ish mosey BD was promised, and YHC noted that half the Pax today had just completed BRR.  After a brief disclaimer, we moseyed over to the flagpole.

Warm-O-Rama:

41 SSH (1 for each trip around the sun–the only reference to my bday during the BD)

15 Hillbillies

10 Weedpickers

6 Merkins

Forward/Reverse arm circles (Sun gods)

The Thang:

Short mosey over to the pool parking lot for BLIMPS:

5 Burpees

10 Lunges (single count)

15 Imperial walkers (alpha)

20 Merkins

25 Plank jacks

30 Squats

Went up the ladder and came back down.

With a few minutes left, we moseyed over to the pavilion for a set of 11’s with:

Dips on the picnic table

Big-boy situps

Wrapped up with a few minutes of Mary at the end.  I was gassed, and I think the Pax were too!  Heck of a way to knock out my first BD in over 4 months.

COT:

MillerTime and Caffey graced us with their presence at the COT following a 6+ mi run

Announcements were announced: 2nd F coming up this Friday, additional IPC opportunity at Boneyard on Friday.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

As always, honored for the opportunity to lead this group.  Being injured a few months ago and then rolling right into marathon training kept me from the multiple-times-a-week interactions I had with the Pax.  I’m looking forward to staying engaged and improving myself mentally, physically, and spiritually with these guys by my side.
