  • Black Ice!

    4 HIMs conquered the allure of the fartsack this cold wet morning. 2 HIMs wanted to do a joint-friendly walk, and the other two wanted a beat down. According to the patches of black ice by the carillion, here’s what went down:

    We ran towards the circle, and ran around once before heading to the brick/concrete areas.

    COP: Helicopters, arm circles (forwards/backwards), imperial walkers, ukrainian soldiers, copperhead squats, merkin, flutter kicks.

    Run two circles in the concrete area,

    Up incline merkins 10, dips 10, down incline merkins 10

    WWIIs, American Hammers

    Then we did a series of Back/chest/abs cycles:

    — superman, hand-release merkins, freddie mercury

    — angels/demons, merkins, V-ups

    Ran 2 circles around concrete.

    Ran up to tower, jumped up and down steps 10 times, followed by a series of balls to the wall and squats.

    Ran down to the concourse, and circled twice.

    Broga-lite: downward facing dog, upward facing dog.

    Some leg stretches.

    Joined back with the walkers, numerama, namerama.

    Hitchhiker took us out.

    Chatter included topics of YHC’s new siding business, Hitchhiker’s new app, as well as our childhood experience with parents who tried to power-guide our growth/development/education.

    Hoping for more WDog-ers in the next few weeks! 🙂

  • Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

    Two PAX arrived on this wet day. YHC was 1-min late, so the other PAX had already left to do his own circuit. According to the street lamp that went out at 5:40am, here’s what happened by the amphitheater:

    COP: Helicopter, arm circles (forwards and backwards), Ukranian soldiers, Imperial walkers, Copperhead squats.

    Merkins x35, Superman x 1min

    Cue music-driven ab excercises – flutter kicks, freddie mercury, LBCs

    Algore for 1 minute

    Arm lifts with traffic cone x 3 sets

    Bear crawl + SSH through half of the traffic circle

    Mosey to stage – 3 sets of BTTW, merkins, and belly-down starfish

    Mosey to Cage – 15 pull-ups and 10 Jerkins

    Mosey back to the field – 20 squats, 15 hand-release merkins, 30 merkins

    Both PAX reconvened at the field for some fellowship, and YHC took us out, asking the Lord to help us remember his love for today.

  • Full moon + Dora =

    Three brave souls dared to conquer their weak bodies at 530am in the light of the bright full moon. According to the stones on the ground where the portajohns used to lie, here’s what went down:

    COP

    helicopter

    arm circles

    imperial walkers

    Ukrainian soldiers

    dead man hang

    copperhead squats

    Merkins and Back’ens:

    merkin

    superman

    close arm merkin

    phelps out of water

    hand release merkin

    Starfish stretch

    Mosey to tower, where we encountered the Dora curse. Dora turned us in to bears, and we have to complete 350 ab exercises (she later increased it to 400 😲)

    dora curse

    400 ab exercises while partner bear crawls to top, touch tower, run down

    After breaking Dora’s curse, we moseyed to Logland for some lumberjack training.

    log carry x12 x2 rounds

    log lifts x12 x 2 rounds

    Plank as you wait for your turn

    Moseyed back to the field but was stopped briefly when we turned into bears again, having to bear crawl around the roundabout, before heading back to the field with some lunges and ending with 2 minutes of overhead clapping to celebrate our victory from the bear curse.

    COT: numerama, namerama

    Florence came out of his cop mobile to say hi to us. We’re glad to hear that he is doing good work to restore peace in our city. He says that he misses F3 but hopes to make it out one day and also encourage others to join too.

    YHC took us out. Glad to have Senka out again from NC!

  • Another Missing BB

    Here’s one from August that was posted in Slack instead of WordPress —-

    Stonks and YHC posted and Stonks stepped up to the Q #VQ

    Moseyed to the bottom of the amphitheatre for COP. which comprised of stretches (not sure of names). 

    then we ran around the neighborhood and circled back to the tower for some alternating merkins and run-around the tower. followed by alternating planks and run-around the tower. 

    we then moseyed to the cage for some alternating russian twists and pullups. before moseying back for stretches and prayer.

  • No Mosey for You!

    YHC got a chance to experiment with the concept of a “No Mosey Boot Camp Q” today, with the wet grass, dirt, and spiky pinecones to provide feedback on YHC’s performance.

    COP: helicopter, don Quixote, deadman hang, SSH, Ukrainian soldiers, Imperial Walkers

    Triple check #1:

    [Merkins x 10, Angels/demons x 10, flutter kicks x 10 ] x3

    bear crawl from tree to tree, with 10 squats at each tree.

    Triple Check #2: [hand release merkins x 20, flat Side straddle stretch (aka FSSS) x 20, WW2 x 20 ] x3

    Traffic Cone:

    cone swings 10x on left, then 10x right

    side lateral raises using cone on left, then right – 10, 8, 6

    curls on left, then right: 10, 10, 10

    End with some stretching and deep breaths to enjoy the beautiful fall day.

    Numerama, Namerama, Thanking God for his grace even today.

     

  • Hydration helps (Reprise)

    YHC showed up to a very well hydrated WDog. Since YHC missed Sippy’s respect Q on 9/13, today’s #VQ will be a reprise of Sippy Cup’s respect Q at Dogpile (modified to accommodate YHC’s physical abilities):

    COP: 10x don Quixote, 10x helicopters, 20xarm circles fwd and rev.

    Mosey to the top of the carillon for a series of animal crawl 4 corners with 5 burpees, 10 hand-release merkins, 20 plank jacks, and 40 LBCs at the corners. Round 1: bear crawl and crab walk to corners. Round 2 and 3: mosey to corners.

    Mosey to the stage and the pile of large logs behind it. Did alternating 40 log lifts along with 50 SSH.

    Mosey to the cage. Did 3 series of 3x pull-ups, 20 american hammers, 15x alternating shoulder tap-planks.

    Mosey back to the field. COT and prayer.

    Happy quinquagenarian birthday week Sippy!
