QIC: Ito
PAX: Stinky Pete, Default, Goat Cheese, Grunge, Yanni, Bunyan, Stickman, Adolphus, Gomer, Horny Toad, DOI, Stevie Ray, Soylent

We were warned we’d have Paparazzi on the prowl at some point for an upcoming edition of Chatham Magazine (thanks @Stickman) … So we decided to keep our heads down and our butts up. Or was that just me?

Warmup:

  • SSH x 20
  • WMH x 10
  • IW x 10
  • Merkins x 10
  • Arm Circles

Time to mosey beyond the courthouse in the circle (always to the left/East, PAX! for safety) to the government building courtyard for three rounds, with varying speed of cadence, of

  • dips x 10
  • durkins x 10
  • step ups x 10 (round 1: traditional, each leg on ground before stepping up. round 2: leave up leg up. round 3: kick stepping leg up, driving ground leg with glute)

Mosey to parking lot between government building and justice center, to the brick “track” for laps. Partner up for three rounds, one PAX on the track, one at the pit for exercise:

  • bear crawl lap. burpees at the pit (switch)
  • lunge walk lap, WWII at the pit (switch)
  • crab walk lap, LBCs at the pit (switch)

Interlude: Plank. Plank to star (rotate plank to side, lift leg parallel to ground, keeping hips forward). Plank. Plank to star other side. Plank. Plank with R arm and L leg off ground. Plank. Plank with L arm and R leg off ground.

Back to governmental building for BTTW with a @grunge 10 count until release.

Mosey to hill on the side of governmental building. New partner. One partner sprints to building at bottom of parking lot while the other does uphill LBCs. Switch. Round two for sprints/air squats.

Mosey to AO for Mary:

  • LBCs
  • LBCs with legs swiveled to left.
  • LBCs with legs swiveled to right.
  • Boxcutters
  • Gene Kellys

COT:

Check with @goatcheese or @grunge for more info on run and short pine tree sapling plantings coming up at Pilot Mountain

Visit your favorite 61 minutes of pleasure at #westend on fridays at 530. May be rain this friday, but the site has it all, even a parking deck.

As we spent time circling the track in a new way today, let us remember too that in life we can break out of the way we normally do things but still keep circling around to home.

As promised, the paparrazi caught up with us along Hillsboro Street as we moseyed back to the AO. Some photos during that run, and during Mary (um, butts). Followed by more photos:

  • group shot by the flags (there were FOUR. Any guesses as to which 4?)
  • Abbey Road shot (#the-earl version: running across Thompson Street between traffic, with courthouse in background)
  • 3 abreast run up Hillsboro (again with courthouse in background)

The 14 famous men today will schedule signings of photographs at a date TBD. Please do not approach them during regular posts.
