MARY:
None outside of during the workout

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
YHC was thrilled to see the two Aggies (Ghost Rider & Listeria) join us in the gloom, as you can never have too many Aggies. We started with 9 as Ant man joined up at about 7:20, so there is debate about if he got full credit or not. Some intermittent mumblechatter throughout the workout, but YHC tried to keep the PAX working constantly with little rest in between exercises. Shoutout to Ina for doing his best Tony Romo and predicting the burpees coming. Some good 2nd F at Bubba’s including some notes that Alright Alright should never be on the finance committee for F3 Dallas and the discussion of when he will next bust out his dance moves at a wedding. Chairman felt the conversation was too friendly so he threw out the insane HSO that George’s was the worst meal he ever had, which was quickly denounced and called blasphemy by several PAX.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. 2nd F Bourbon Night Thursday, Feb 7 at Casa Icebox. Bring diapers for Icecube
2. Texas Independence Day 18K March 2. Keep training in preparation

Run Ranger Run Kickoff Run

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Special SauceTeasipCoach KOatmeal QIC: Icebox 

AO: Glencoe
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME:

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH X 20 (Oatmeal and Coach K opted for modified side straddle penguins flapping their arms and not flying)
IST’s X 15
Daisy Pickers X 10

Hater of all things Queen and Tony Romo, Q of the Year, Shredding for the Cruise, and I did the following:

Burpee Mile: 12 burpees every quarter mile, NA run for the first 1/2 mile, own pace for the 2nd 1/2 mile

Rugby Sit-up Mile: 15 rugby sit-ups every quarter mile, own pace for the first 1/2 mile, reindeer runs the 2nd 1/2 mile

Merkin/Superman Mile: did 15 merkins after the first 1/4 mile, then switched to 15 Superman’s the next 3 1/4 miles. NA run the first 1/2 mile then reindeer runs the 2nd 1/2 mile

MOLESKIN:
Decent amount of mumble chatter when we we running at my pace for NA and reindeer runs. I was a little disappointed that I was the slowest runner, when pushed on who I wanted to show up who was slower than me I didn’t name any names, mostly because I’m probably slower than everyone who shows up to running workouts. Teasip somehow ran all of today in a hoodie despite 55 degree weather, but it was probably to help him shred a couple more lbs before laying out on a cruise ship next week. Special Sauce rolled up in his new car prompting us to wonder if the Jeep Grand Cherokee is catching up to F150’s for official vehicle of F3 Dallas (especially when Oo-De-Lally starts showing up regularly again). Alright Alright was self conscious about running in just his Run Ranger Run shirt since he accidentally ordered a girls M instead of a men’s. Turns out each lap around Glencoe is a little more than a 1/2 mile so we got 3.5 miles in according to Special Sauce’s Apple Watch.

Before we started out I gave instructions to Coach K and Oatmeal for their ruck but they ignored me and went on their own vision quest.

  1. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
    Run Ranger Run has started! Log your miles and raise some money
  2. CSAUP on 3/2, start training more!
  3. 2nd F Bourbon Tasting 2/7 at Icebox place, bring Pampers.

Have a great weekend y’all!

Rugby Practice with Chairman Mao

Pax: AlrightAlright Special Sauce Mile High Icebox Teasip Gambler Aaarrrggghhh Ina Landing Strip (Nola) Rump Roast Oatmeal

12 Pax gathered for running or Rucking this morning.

YHC managed to conduct an in-cadence warmup without any grumbling a personal accomplishment

Oatmeal and Rump Roast then split off and got in some good rucking this morning.

The rest of us did a workout inspired by YHC’s first ever rugby workout.

100 walk 200 m jog 100 sprint 5 burpees
200 walk 400 jog 200 sprint 10 squats, 5 burpees
200 walk 800 jog 200 sprint 15 rugby sit ups, 10 squats, 5 burpees
400 jog 200 sprint

Mary concludes the throw back

Mumble chatter
@AlrightAlright apologized to Landing Strip for us not talking enough during the workout, despite him finding ample time to complain we didn’t follow Upward rules when we continued running while he tied his shoes. We also learned he needs new shoes.

@sSpecial Sauce was disappointed there was no tackling.

YHC discovered he’s still slow from time off last fall. A PSA to everyone to not take too much time off for multiple reasons.

Announcements
Run Ranger kicks off tomorrow so good luck to those participating.

Bourbon night is next Thursday hopefully we can find a copy of Hoosiers before then.

2nd F that Friday Iocation TBD

Teasip offered some kind words to pray us out.

Finally YHC is not sure why band hates him and doesn’t format properly

DJ Icebox will be spinning records tomorrow at his workout; so, be there for the fresh beats and the beat down.

Not too much #mumblechatter, probably because everyone was counting the whole time.

Doubletime strip down

Backblast for 1/28 doubletime run.

PAX: Ina, Alright Alright, Chairman Mao, Spandex

QIC: Mile High

Set out to a nice brisk pace and got the usual comment from AlrightAlright .1 mile in about how he was glad about all the layers he was wearing. At least one layer was shed after the first lap. YHC is grateful that the shedding stopped there. Although, there was discussion about boosting IG followers. 

Apparently MapMyRun has some inconsistencies in tracking so YHC won’t post splits, but AA finished first (as usual) with YHC pretending like he could keep up, Ina was just a bit off his pace from last time, and Chairman Mao modified the route slightly and finished right behind Ina. Spandex made his annual appearance, joining us for the first lap and then ran home. 

New Ruck Path

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Oatmeal, Coach K, Walmart
QIC: F150

AO: Flag Pole Hill

THA THANG:
2.6 mile ruck

MOLESKIN:
YHC took the PAX on a different route that gave us a few more hills. We took a moment to see the scene of the crime that took the ankle of Oatmeal and he was quickly pulled back by Coach K’s voice as he was being drawn too close to the edge. A lot of conversations took place during the morning.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Run Ranger Run – Team is full
2. CSAUP – March
3. Q Source on Wednesday and Friday
