Morning Wood

The BackBlast:

2 pax met up for some EC mileage through Midwood to launch the otb pre-run henceforth known as Morning Wood. Scrooge said Morning Wood makes him happy.

The SiteQ was bundled up but ready to get after it right at the peculiar and somewhat inconvenient start time of 0555… I guess its the non-conformists like him and Cindy that keep things from getting stagnant. Idk, something about tent poles… its on the podcast. look it up.

Fletch and Mozart rolled up just in time for the not-a-mozy (this is a no/low running AO damn it) over to the flagpoles where the new and improved Punch Bowl SiteQ, Rose joined us for the Pledge of Allegiance and a few quick words about the POW-MIA flag flying above our heads.

Another not-a-mozy over to the candy truck to stash the headlamp YHC used to see Scrooge’s Morning Wood in the back of the truck. Still there. Probably broken by now.

Warmorama:
SSH x15
IP x15
some stretching and counting and mumblechatter
Toy Soldiers x 15 or something like that

Tha Thang:
DEFINITELY NOT A MOZY over to Jigsaw’s staircase. 1 quickie in cadence then partner up for 3 rounds of
Calf Raise x10
Derkins x 10
Step Ups x 10 on the #inclusive ledge, not the racist bigot ledge above that one that Monsoon can’t reach

Partner 2 bearcrawls up & down the adjacent hill until their partner finishes – Scrooge & Fletch are savages and couldn’t resist going backward uphill like real men. Rose also made the bigot ledge his bitch, demonstrating that he too is a savage.

Next up, to the dugout for America’s (and Jigsaw’s) favorite pastime.

Dips and other accoutrement while Fletch crab walks the bases. Ok Fletch is a slow crab and my triceps hurt from a week of great Qs like TheyDid’s beatdown at Bandit, so we’ll rotate at every base.

Baseball is almost as boring to watch as it is to play – on to the football field for some Burpee Bearcrawl Suicides

Scrooge would rather run (at a non-running AO) across the park to invite some random stranger to join us. We all know the truth… he was actually just spent from impressing Mozart with his backward uphill bearcrawls

A few more rounds showing Jigsaw our asses and the Q is bored again. NOTAMOZY! over to the new government funded gazebo – Rose’s favorite piece of architecture in CLT apparently

Mary-by-Committee; great stuff all around. Sorry for chastising you Mozart, I was trying to be informative, not critical. But none of that mattered as Scrooge was now recovered from his flying headlock and ready to call 70 four-count Flutters (IC). Not a record.

Slow walk back to the flagpoles where our bearded SiteQ was gracious enough to read us the memorial plaque – in 1945 a military pilot whose name escapes me, whose pronouns I can only assume were Bad/Ass, chose to sacrifice himself in a crash landing as opposed to ejecting and risking his plane killing civilians. Respect.

COT & Prayers. Fletch heads to Chicago June 11. I’ve probably asked him 8 times now but this time I’m writing it so I’ll actually remember the date. Props to Monsoon for joining the pax in supporting his competitors’ livelihood down at the Goat for coffee-teria after 0.75 miles of all three Fs 🐐☕

and props to Mozart for committing to a VQ next week! 👏 (Monsoon can send you instructions on how to secure your spot in QSignUps)
