  • Q Tater!

    4 Mystery Men emerged from the gloom for a 70 & Sunny good time at The Lumberyard! Nobody had the Q on the sheet so we tossed around the tater for the workout! Beaver sounds like he’s going through puberty with this strange cold.

  • Beaver High Tails It

    It was just the pines and Beaver this morning. YHC covered something like 5.2 mi and gets a max speed of 12.2 mph. YHC took a page from Commando’s book and used this time to talk with God in the overcast gloom. Even though I missed the guys, it was nice to have this alone time.

  • 6 HIMS and a little lady emerged from the unusually bright gloom for a faux Beaver Q Surprise, just trying to bait y’all out here! This is what the dog park weirdos witnessed!

    Mosey to the helipad for disclaimer and Warmarama(surprisingly not a whole lot of MC):

    Mosey to the Handicap Spaces near the playground for COP 2 – 7’s – Mike Tyson / Pole Smokers

    Mosey to the Coupons way over yonder for COP 3 – Dora …“Leroy Jenkins!” Exclaims Choo Choo – this had to have been at least a half mile round trip to the AED, shortly after YHC proactively changes the LJ destination to the much closer center field flag. Like I was saying Dora- Partner Up / 100 Incline Merkins / 200 Wet Toilet Seats / 300 LBC’s – Partner carries coupon to top of trail and back.

    Sugar Rush calls for Leroy Jenkins, run to the flag on our way back, pick up our gear and head back to the invisible F3 flag.

  • Chi-ca-ca!

    Ol Beaver is on the road for work again. Thi time he finally hits an AO in the Chicago area named War Horse. You guessed it, we hit the coupons! It’s a thing! I feel like I’m always doing coupons DR. Luckily one of the HIMs grabbed an extra for me. A variety of coupon workouts were repped. I will certainly have to come out again.

  • The Farm Has Turf!

    Beaver was doing a little travel for work up in Northern VA this week after taking a few weeks off to spend time with the M and 2.0. So I looked up the nearest AO and there she was…across the way from Dulles airport tucked into what looks like some sort of secured area where Astro turf soccer fields where 5 arrived on time and Running Man was running about 10-15 mins late, no that’s not how he got his name unfortunately.
    we did a little bit of everything and brought home a couple new moves to introduce to the men.
