YHC reached out to Mayhem several weeks back when I saw that my 41st Birthday would be on a day that I could Q at The Rush. Mayhem said that he put YHC on the calendar but then he took off for his West Coast adventure and forgot about poor ol’ Stabler. Luckily YHC reminded Mayhem a couple weeks back at Run Strong so I officially got put on the calendar at that time. The plan was simple… try to log at least 4.1 miles in honor of the big 41 and get a few exercises in there as well. 5:30 fast approached so shovel flags planted and the birthday celebration began

WARM UP
SSH X 11 IC
Good Mornings x 11 IC

The Thang

The run was simple. Left out of JH Rose towards Evans Street. Left on Evans towards 14th Street. Right on 14th Street towards the Harris Teeter shopping center. At each major intersection, stop and circle back for the six. YHC was hoping for either some birthday gifts from Stadium Sports or some beer from Harris Teeter. Stadium Sports was closed and none of the PAX wanted to carry a keg back to the shovel flag so YHC was out of luck! So we did some exercises instead. Partner-up near Stadium Sports. Partner A would perform a series of exercises while Partner B would run from Stadium Sports to Harris Teeter and back. Partners would flapjack until all exercises were complete. Each exercise had to be performed 41 times before moving onto the next exercise.

YHC always enjoys a nice IPA and will have some tonight so perform;

I- Imperial Walkers

P- Plank Jacks

A- Alternating Shoulder Taps

And in honor of The Birthday Boy’s favorite NFL team playing tonight on National TV vs the Niners in a battle of the Bay, I mean toilet bowl, a few more exercises to perform with your same partner;

R- Ranger Merkins

A- Australian Mountain Climber (BTTW with mountain climber)

I- Iron Mike (alternating jump lunges)

D- Derkins (using curb)

E- E2K (on your six. Right ankle over left knee. Left elbow to right knee. Switch)

R- Rocky Balboa (toe taps on curb)

S- Slow and low squats

Running close on time so ran back to the shovel flag, taking the same route. Celebrated with some F3 cupcakes

No better way to celebrate the big 41 than getting in the gloom and sweating a bit with fellow PAX! Great push by all and great mumblechatter throughout! Here’s to a great year and to many more F3 posts! Until next time…
