Viva la revolucion!
14 was the magic number in Carpex on Friday, and that’s how many PAX turned out at Danger Zone to end the work week.
We started with a couple of laps around the pickle (what’s with all the running?) - then circled up for a quick warm-up including SSH, merkins, mountain climbers, imperial walkers and, since you can’t have a great day without them, good mornings.
Another 3/4 lap around the pickle to the basketball court, and circle up.

A Deflating BLIMPS...lands in a pile of rocks
AO: Phoenix
Yesterday morning YHC, back from three weeks of travel and sacking, Q’d Slippery When Wet and tried a new way to inflate a BLIMPS. Save for a few miscounts, it mostly worked. This morning, as promised, we deflated the thing, ran around a bit, and played with rocks. Saber showed up late, but got a pass (saving the PAX from certain penalty Burpees) owing to his impressive six-pack this week (RESPECT!

Up the Ladder, Down the Ladder
The temp was 29
The pax was 10
The Site Qs was 0
YHC knew the Site Qs were away so he had a little fun with them in their absense. Just a little… #PUT6P
Then we got down to business! 0545 (loved sleeping in) disclaimer and off to the bank for warm up. You know what it was.
Thang 1: Bank Laps
20 Single Leg Step Ups / 20 more other leg

Changing of the Guard
Due to technical issues, there is not a way to have the QIC list both Beaker and YHC as the QIC but he was in the mix and deserves the glory.
Warm-up Beaker led all the PAX from the flag over to the other lower parking lot and back again to get the legs moving. Once we circled back up we enjoyed a few other treats:
SSH x 20 Windmills x 10 Slow Count Merkins x 10 Good Mornings x 10 Thang 1

10-20-30-40 + Rocks
It was a beautiful morning. 47 degrees, a bit damp…a good day for F3. I just returned from NYC and was slightly unprepared… though it didn’t stop me. 23 PAX were waiting for me with my on-time arrival with a minute to spare. Banjo was not so lucky…yes, you guessed it, penalty burpies for Banjo’s “not-so” on-time arrival.
The Start
The Pledge
We then jogged (plus side shuffles) up to DDMS in anticipation to find the rock pile along Davis Dr.

Fired up for some Turkey!
Wednesday morning’s are always a high energy affair with Insomnia runners coming in and the Vesper and SNS crowd ready to kill it. Add to that the pre-holiday excitement, temps near freezing and anticipation of Kitty’s upcoming Thanksgiving extravaganza, New Year’s Eve in Times Square had nothing on the 34 gathered at the Senior Center this morning!
At the crack of 5:45, the Vesper’s headed out to explore new trails and the SNS crowd got after it.

The Caterers I Hired Suck!
This morning I hosted (what may have been) the first ever Field of Dreams Welcome Party, which started 15 minutes prior to the workout. Invitations went out to the entire PAX however Ma Bell, Largemouth, Biner, PBX, Katniss, Bogo, Two Factor, Liverpool, Sosa, Crimson & YHC RSVP’d. We gathered in the parking lot and ran over to the shelter near the soccer field, but when we arrived I noticed the food I ordered from the caterers hadn’t arrived yet.

Liverpool Loves Dips
Feeling like the ankle is getting back to full speed, and with the Thanksgiving convergence coming up, YHC knew he needed to shake a little bootcamp beatdown rust off. There is no finer AO on a Monday morning at 0530 on Davis Drive than Wolverine, for said beatdown.
Oh, but first HIM of all HIMs Build-a-Bear called a 0455 EC run and YHC felt obliged to join. Grizzly Bear Ollie was there to boot and it was a wonderful 3 mile loop.
