Why tell you about what a workout looks like for this morning when we can just show you!

When spring rolls around we expect to see the sun coming up during our workouts. The ground to be dry and our gear being soaked from sweat and not rain water. Well all of that didn’t come through this morning. It was dark, wet and full of rain. However with all that being said we didn’t side track ourselves one but this morning.

The crew did what we do best show up, run and get a workout in. Oh and let’s not forget that we help one another stay motivated while having a lot of fun with it.

With the ground wet and our gear soaked from the rain. We did the normal run groups followed by the 100 workout at the West Steps area of the Capitol building. 4 movements of 100 reps. Today’s movements were squats, lunges, shoulder taps and closing it off … mountain climbers.

The dark skies covered by the rain clouds made for some really shitty photos … let’s see if you can even make out the ones below.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you are aware that the first two rounds have a couple of those games being played at the Golden 1 Center. Those games start today. 

With that being said we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to come out and take our Destination Friday workout to Golden 1 which we haven’t done before. 

After the morning run groups we headed over to the arena and took on some ramp sprints while mixing in squats and sit ups. 

Though the group was small we still kicked the shit out of the workout. 

Great job, have a good weekend and enjoy St. Patrick’s Day. 

Daylight savings only does one thing for us … it makes it dark in the mornings. Just last week we were enjoying the sun coming up during the 2nd run group. However this morning we had to sport the headlamps for all of the workout. 

After the run groups the squad met at the west steps for a buddy workout. This mornings workout consisted of 5 rounds with a run to and from the Capitol building for a high five to the wall. 

Each round consisted of 10 hoisties, 20 push-ups with a hand slap and 30 sit ups with a high ten. 

The crew represented today doing some awesome work. Crush the rest of your Wednesday. 

Friday is all about destination Fridays, when we find a local area within the Downtown Sacramento area and do our workout there.

After the 5:30 and 6AM run groups, we headed to the IMAX area to get our workout in. This mornings workout was four rounds of 30 reps of squats, sits ups, bear crawls and crab walks followed by a run to the “KAY” sign and back.

This morning we found out one of our normals has a tattoo. He has a tattoo of a rooster. So you could only imagine the conversations on where they moved onto. In true inappropriate Friday we kept everything clean.

Great job everyone on crushing the workout! Have a great weekend and all the best to everyone running races this weekend.

It’s Wednesday so we roll out of bed and show up! Yes the toughest thing isn’t just the workout or the run, it’s often times just waking up, getting your shoes on and actually showing up. 

However, if you are able to get out of bed and show up, pure awesomeness happens with some crazy conversations and silly antics while getting fit and having fun. 

This morning we showed up at 5:30,6 and 6:25 did the running groups and then smashed the west steps workout. The running is running, but the west steps workout this morning was the old and original version of deck of cards! Faces and Aces are 11 reps while each numbered cards equals that rep count. The movements for this morning were push-ups, sit ups and squats. After each set was performed individuals ran up the west steps and tagged the west wall of the Capitol building. 

This morning the weather was great for getting our sweat on! We also said hello to some new and old faces. We experienced the causal attendance of Judy, who found a way to stop by, making her visit and getting her dose of 9RUN6 on to last for the next two months.

We also welcomed Nicole and Margaret to their first 9RUN6 workouts. Nicole was introduced to the group by Katie. While Margaret made a visit while visiting family here in Sacramento. She is part of the PDX (Portland) group making the NP Pledge. We wish them all the best in becoming part of the November Project.

With the normal run groups meeting this morning, we were honored to witness another graduating class of the CHP as they made their run from the academy to the State Capitol building.

For the 6:25 west steps crew we did an awesome partner workout that challenged the group. Challenging each group that no one was able to finish the workout before the 7AM end time.

Great job everyone! Have a great rest of the week.

First a shout out to our dude Brad! Happy Birthday. 

Today the crew gathered and got the runs in then destinationed to the Sacramento Convention Center. 

There we hit the stairs and did a remix of push ups, squats and sit-ups. It was an enjoyable workout with the sun shinning even though the cold was hitting us. Let’s hope for more good weather since the rain has been pouring down on our workouts over the last few months. 

Great job everyone and have a kick ass weekend. 

If you were to walk up to a conversation and you heard … “How deep do you go when you go down?” … Yes, that was actually something that was brought up this morning during the run group. The question actually had to do with how deep Courtney dives for work because she is an underwater archeologist, when she isn’t running, cycling or brewing beer …

That is the shit that goes on when you show up for a morning run and workout at 5:30, 6:00 or 6:25AM …

See there is some craziness that goes on at our workouts and runs.

Also screw all the details about the workouts today, because we got the custom tubular bandannas! So check them out!

The crew gathered this morning as we normally do with the 5:30, 6 and 6:25AM crews that run, do funky workouts, or all of the above. The difference between today and other mornings is the fact that the skies were pretty clear, the sidewalks we normally have been stomping were dry, and the sun was coming up during the workout.

Needless to say the morning groups were exciting because not just of the people who show up because we are always awesome, but because Mother Nature came out to give us some love too!

After the 2 run groups that gathers at 10th & N Street, it was time for the Wednesday West Steps workout. On tap today was the ping pong ball workout, each one was picked then a lap around the west square was completed.

We do have some good news … well I know we have heard it for 2 weeks … The custom tubular bandanas are scheduled to be delivered today!!!! That means Friday for those of you that are at the workout will get it! Others will get them mailed to them if needed.
