QIC: Button Cap

The Pax: Maytag, Butterfly(FNG), Griswold, Purple Rain, Laettner, Vice, Plebe, Pigeon, White Boots, Costanza, RuPaul, Snookie, Lunchbox

With the dawn of the Second Prometheus Ruck, YHC wasn’t nearly as nervous as the first but wasn’t sure how many Pax would attend. He was pleased to see Snookie and Griswold already on-site when he rolled up to the pride of Western Carterico – The Bogue Inlet Pier….then they kept coming, and coming and coming. Clown car full of 3, Maytag with an FNG even purple rain (who later revealed he only beat the fartsack bc he thought only 3 PAX would show and felt guilty for leaving YHC with short numbers pshh) showed his sleepy face in the gloom. Here comes white boots, 5 minute, 3 minute….(costanza texted having bowel issues he would be coming in hot and steamy.) 1 minute….mission statement given, some kind of a disclaimer and we were off to the Beach Mart on the corner of 58 and Bogue Inlet Dr. for…..

here comes constanza….real hot (watch those EI cops gents)

Warmarama (it should be noted, YHC and Laettner were moving quick and the rest of the PAX needed to be reminded this wasn’t a walk with your M and 2.0’s we were men and would be MOVING quickly)

SSH x 20 IC

IW x 15 IC

Goofballs x 10 IC

The Thang

We continued down 58 on the EI bike path with lots of mumblechatter until we reached Lee Avenue for stop 1

Merkins x 10 (3 reps)

Peter Parkers x 10 (2 reps)

Mumblechatter shutdown completely for a bit – must admit YHC was smiling inside.

We turned down Craig St. and Continued to Ocean Drive stopping short of the boardwalk for stop 2

weighted squats x 10 (3 Reps)

weighted WWI’s x 10 (3 reps)

YHC was surprised to hear groans about having to stand for squats and get on your six for WWIs…oh well.

We continued down the boardwalk and emerged from some overgrown vegetation to the sight of the crashing waves, a cool breeze and that salty smell that always accompanies a trip to our local beaches. Not a soul to be seen between us and the pier, it was a good moment for YHC and he heard others take that deep breath and chatter about how they enjoyed what we were doing. T-claps Pax.

Tide was still falling and we Rucked in mid soft sand, nice workout in and of itself. Ended up under the pier for Stop 3

Heels up x 20

Plank Jack x 10 (turned out to be nearly impossible weighted down and in the sand, lots of crying…so YHC omaha’d we would keep moving)

YHC thought we would do mary with 7 minutes left but some Pax wanted their 3 miles this morning so we continued on to warmarama location and circled back to trucks. 3.1 miles logged.

announcements: FNG from Indiana (YHC has a soft spot for Hoosiers as his wife is one and they’re all nice people) F3 butterfly from here on out. Continued Prayers for snookies wife (if you haven’t signed up for meal train DO IT). Purple Rain’s father, F3 Cousin, getting some stints tomorrow, RuPaul has family in Texas and water was rising in their yard as of this morning. Vice’s Birthday today  (Happy Birthday!!). Lunchbox on the Q for Rolling Stone at RIVERSIDE PARK IN SWANSBORO*, Laettner has Field of Dreams sat., Dodgeball Thur. night West Carteret. End of summer Western Carterico sandbar party 9/9 contact Purple Rain, COT – Purple Rain took us out in a great prayer.

Moleskin: Glad to see 13 other men beat the fartsack this morning, especially with the earlier start of this workout. YHC still working on his timing, exercises and distance and appreciates the Pax for sticking in there with him. Special T-Claps to White boots and Costanza for making the long haul. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful region, its easy to look past that and into the problems of our daily lives but there was a moment this morning when we crossed the dunes, all we had on our minds was the crashing waves in the gloom….good for the soul. Thanks for the opportunity men.
