F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER:

Given (with a great idea from Icebox to have a tip jar…would that make the disclaimer invalid?)

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, IST x15 and 5 Burpees OYO

THA THANG:
It was a cold morning and YHC has developed a self-diagnosed case of the black lung, so there was a lot of movement and OYO counting this morning. Start with a mini circuit at the playground/covered area that included three rounds of: 5 Pull ups, 10 Swerkins, 15 Abyss Merkins and 20 Step Ups.

Mosey to the football field for a Jacob’s ladder of Monkey Humpers and Dry Docks, running across the field in between. Follow that up with three rounds of 4 Corners of the football field (10 Merkins, 20 Rugby Sit-ups, 30 OH Claps, 40 Squats)

Mosey to the tennis courts for an Iron Hulk Suicide (1 Merkin, 4 Air presses, run touch first line and run back, 2 Merkins, 8 OH Air presses, etc. to 10). Next, did walking lunges across both courts, stopping in the middle for 10 high squats, then 10 low squats at the other end. Lunge walk back with 10 full squats  in the middle, which left just enough time for Mary

MARY:
Penguin crunch x15, Freddie Mercury x20, Rosalita x 15, & Homer to Marge

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
Not a lot of mumblechatter as the PAX was constantly moving and somewhat sucking wind. The PAX was very thrilled when YHC finally counted in cadence for Mary and was able to overcome several coughing fits to finish counting each set.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. 2nd F, 2nd Friday Happy Hour on Dec 14 at TBD (Backyard maybe?)
2. Possible CSAUP on Texas Independence Day (March 2)

Not Just Finance Mutt Ruck

PAX: Mile High & Rump Roast

QIC: Icebox (Maverick)

MOLESKIN:

Mile High was really the Q since I don’t know any routes around Flag Pole Hill Park and killed it with the navigation skills. He was quick to point out that he and the Roast are the only ones not in finance #diversity

Rump Roast showed 300% improvement from a couple months ago, T Claps to you sir! In case anyone has a pet pig it’s okay for the Roast to meet them, he will not try to sell them as merchandise.

Great getting to know you guys better, hope to see more of you for future rucks!

MOLESKIN:
A great turnout as everyone was ready to get into the Christmas Spirit. Once we started the SSH and got past 23, Alright Alright was quick to say he knew we were going to go to 74. Try as he might to distract YHC with his shouting of random numbers, YHC stayed focused and on track, much like the Ags on Saturday. We started the 12 Days of Christmas with some holiday music playing in the background. Not much mumblechatter today as the PAX was moving from standing to sitting as we went through the days of Christmas. Some mild complaining once Burpees popped up and a critique of not having the namesake song on the playlist (mainly cuz YHC views it as annoying and overrated). T claps to Plus One for giving YHC this idea as he did it last year, so credit where credit is due. Hopefully YHC didn’t steal his thunder and Plus One can still do his 12 Days of Christmas workout later this holiday season.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Q of the year tomorrow (11/28)
2. 2nd F Happy Hour tentatively set for 12/14

QIC: Icebox

AO: Katy Trail
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER:

WARM-O-RAMA:
Side Straddle Hops x20 IC
Imperial Storm Troopers x20 IC

THA THANG:
Before we began everyone grabbed two 2.5 lb weights from my ruck vest, these acted as our baby coupons and batons for the AM

Moseyed over to the track
400M warmup jog

Partnered up, since we had 9 we had 4 teams of 2 and I jumped on the AlrightAlright and jon team as a 3rd wheel which meant I just had to run around and wasn’t really racing because I’m too slow for it to matter.

Race 1: P1 runs 400M, P2 small pulses up with the baby coupons, switch
Race 2: P1 runs 400M, P2 shoulder presses up with the baby coupons, switch
Race 3: P1 runs 200M, P2 did triceps with the baby coupons, switch, and then do it again with another 200M sprint

Intermission: 800M fun run, jog the corners and spring the straight always (Aaarrrggghhh killed us in the jogs, he’s been holding back on his moseying skills)

Race 4: P1 runs 400M, P2 did something that I can’t remember with baby coupons, switch
Race 5: attempted to do a continuous 4X100 relay until all 4 teammates ran 400M…this race failed miserably, some of us ran 400M, some 600, and some 300M…I’ll go back to the drawing board for next time

Mosey back to La Madeline for 20 rugby sit-ups and prayed it out

MARY:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to all who came out, it was as fun as running can be. Will keep thinking about ways we can do relay races when we don’t know how many people are going to be at the workout. I now keep baby coupons in the car so if any other Q wants to use them just let me know and I’ll do my best to show up!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
6 PAX gathered for #katytrailthursday while F-150 went off on the solo ruck. Alright Alright was quick to point out the contradictory clothing for YHC as YHC was wearing gloves and his Santa hat but short sleeves and shorts (this was due to the sensitive extremities YHC has. AA and Ina had the standard too cold vs not too cold debate and it seemed like most agreed it wasn’t too cold. At one of the quarter breaks, AA said he should’ve brought a cowbell to bother YHC about the Ags laying an egg this weekend, which YHC was very thankful he didn’t. On the way back, the PAX decided to hold off on the Sky Pickles until a group of female joggers went by (which was probably smart). This led to a discussion of how you can do anything when no one is watching which Special Sauce said is the definition of character. Most agreed doing Sky Pickles when no one is watching is probably not the definition of character. Overall a good workout/run on a crisp Thursday morning.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Potential 2nd F Happy Hour and other event next Friday/Saturday
2. 2nd F movie night with Alright Alright Director’s Commentary for Bohemian Rhapsody
