Firebird Lady

The BackBlast:

6 self-confident men didn’t feel the need to do farmer carries or bench presses in the Olympic convergence at AG to impress the pax. Instead, they arrived at Latta for another Skyline lead beatdown.

What We Did –
– Headed up park with stops at Mrytle, Euclid and Cleveland for various warmups using our standard numerical counting process.
– Continued to mosey to Flower Child for dips where we counted up to PERUVIAN.
– More Mosey along light rail to Bland St for some LBCs where we counted up to LIGHT RAIL.
– Continued to mosey to Carson for step ups – count up to CARSON BLVD.
– To the stairs where we partnered up and partner 1 ran upstairs with 5 squats at top, then back down. Partner 2 does merkins. No spelling required.
– Moseyed across Morehead to College and into Uptown where we landed at tree at Tryon and Stonewall (I know it’s not Stonewall, but don’t know new name – maybe MLK ave?)
– LBCs up to BANK OF AMERICA TOWER
– Continue up Tryon, then over to Church to Park where we found some benches and did some Derkins to ROMARE BEARDEN PARK.
– Up Church to 3rd street and back over to Tryon. Found an ally and did Derkins to FIRST CITIZENS BANK.
– Back out to Tryon and up to Blumenthal where we did squats to THE NORTH CAROLINA PERFORMANCE ARTS CENTER.
-Finally, headed back south down Tryon to the Firebird Sculpture where we did flutter to FIREBIRD. As we did this, we were treated to a nice lady who guards the Firebird sculpture.
– Continue down Tryon to 277 where we did another Mary movement to HONEYWELL.
– Back to College, then to Morehead towards YMCA deck. Up deck to top for some more Mary to DUKE ENERGY.
– wall sits with air presses where we spelled each of our F3 names.
– Down stairs to Mrytle where we did 5 merkins at each parking sign, then to DWE playground for 7 pulls and 7 squats as we countdowned to 1.
– To Wall at Latta park where we concluded with Dips to F3 LATTA.
– Run thru grass to grinder.

Moleskin –
– 6 of us traveled about 4.5 miles. Skyline lead Glad Hander, cream cheese, Wilson (Kotter), Rube (Kotter) and 40 Thieves.
– I encourage all to say hello to the Firebird lady when uptown. She could not have been more welcoming and pleasant. Maybe grab a selfy if you can.
– not sure who was more represented downtown – security or the mentally ill. Glad we are cutting funding for mental illness.
– when we were headed uptown, I was sure we would hit B of A stadium and mothership. Figured skyline would hit the major attractions this weekend and I was looking forward to the aerial view of the Lovin Life Festival. Unfortunately, Skyline had no clue what was going on uptown and his meandering route had no connection to the festive activities.
– Skyline’s workout tested our body and mind. Luckily Tassels chose the Olympics because the spelling might have been too much for him.
– Not sure who is leading next week. Sheep is scheduled, but who knows. I won’t be there – last trip to TCU. Hopefully Khloe will attend to document Sheep’s lead – which is always entertaining.

Have a good Weekend.
