12 pax broke through the trance of their warm #Fartsacks and met at the #FountainHead for a little Hill work in cool, drizzly and of course #Gloomy Uptown Greenwood. YHC posted at Red Friday the past 2 weeks, so looking forward to getting back out on the hills. Thankfully, a few other pax had HC’d on twitter the day before so there would be no worries of another 2 man BOM as Kobayashi had last week!
Disclaimer
Stated that I was not a professional and this route was not my design, but Uncle Buck’s! That being said it is awesome and is guaranteed to make you better!
Main Thang
Leave the #FountainHead and head to Seaboard. Right Turn down the hill. Right Turn at the Stoplight. Continue Down hill, then up hill, then down hill to just past the Index-Journal. Turn around and head back, up hill, down hill, up hill to the light at top of Seaboard. Meet back at the #Fountain at 6 am…..45min!
(The down, up, down , up, down, up references are for Boy George who thought he was running up hill both ways!)
COT
Countorama, Namerama, Prayer (Stuart Tinkler’s family after his passing from a Heart Attack, Cobra Kai’s son who will be heading off to Parris Island to start with the Marines(Aye!), Injured pax, Unspoken prayers as well) Also Boy George gave us a good reminder that many of us are 40 and over….need to keep up with physicals! After a physician he knows was just diagnosed with prostate cancer

While the pax were gathering at the #Fountain, YHC noticed some variety in the pax’s attire on this 52* morning. Meatloaf was dressed for Winter, while others had on t-shirts! Southern weather confusion I guess! Pothole proceeded to tell us the last time he wore a stocking cap in the #gloom it almost made him sick….who knew.
Welcome Leaner getting in his first taste of the hills! Really can’t say much other than embrace the suck! These hills are guaranteed to help your running! Nice work and keep pushing! Also good having Special K with us! I believe it was his first taste of the hills as well due to the YMCA pool being shut down. Join us anytime!
Nice work by Kobayashi, getting work in despite dealing with some IT band issues. You truly never know how injuries will be day to day. Wednesday he smoked the last mile of the Starbucks run today he just had to push through. Keep stretching!
Gotta say major #tclaps to the pax for pushing each other. Out and backs can get boring but the pax embrace it, encouraging each other in passing and even high fiving each other. One of the things F3 is all about Iron Sharpens Iron, pushing each other to get better….I know it pushes me day in day out. Whether it is a workout, a devotion, or just following the example set by these men. Keep it up!
Finally, the biggest #tclap is to Cobra Kai’s 2.0 and his enlisting in the Marines. Heading off to camp down at Parris Island this weekend! Talk about dedication and love for your country. Prayers with him and your family Cobra Kai! We know you are proud as are we!
Keeping with that theme, our guys over at #RedFriday always wear red to the Hero WOD. I would like to recommend the runners on Friday do the same. No reason we can’t honor those deployed as well.
Always an honor to be your Q! Thanks for the opportunity and the effort you guys put forth today! Well done…..keep pushing the rock! Aye!
