  • Just say no to banana boats

    Down in the cell dead zone that is The Old Hundred, nine PAX gathered to better themselves. According to the school employee who gets to work early to drop off their trash, this is what may have occurred.

  • “Does the Army Do Cadence?”


    YHC is down in Emerald Isle for the week. Lo and behold that have F3 down here. With FNG brother in law in tow we hit the mean streets of Carteret County. This is more less how it went down:

    BOONEDOCKS BACKBLAST

    Per request from @Prego who is apparently too busy to post on Slack (or plan a workout), I am posting the backblast.

    After a solo standard ran by the Site Q, @BOGO @Tar Hole @Cooter @BreakingBad @Birdman @CouchPotato @Ginger @griswold (fresh off of a strong Palmetto Relay performance) and @Doubtfire were joined by @Boberry from offsite and the newly minted @Master Dong. We also got a rare Boonedocks appearance by @SandFlea and a unusually noise considerate @purplerain. @Dep DAWG also decided to show up 5 minutes late though the Q didn’t make us pay for it.

    We did a semi-controlled 1 burpee, 10 Mericans, 20 LBCs, and 30 squats. Rinse, repeat to the docks and back.

    Significant Events
    @purplerain led a pax mutiny at one intersection due to what he perceived to be loud counting of exercises he wasn’t executing.

    The Q attempted a pushup challenge with the much younger and fitter Site Q and was saved by a car.

    Two young ladies approached the pax during their run offering to use us as hurdles. @Tar Hole sucked in his gut in an attempt to impress. It didn’t work.

    @BOGO dressed for 40 degrees and immediately regretted it.

    Multiple mentions of @ponch even though he only comes to Boonedocks once a quarter.

    The ever faithful @Cyclops kept us from having to hear our 3rd F Q say “MACdonalds” by opening the doors of the church for us and making coffee.

    Good to see everyone out today. We’ve got a MHC brother on the Q next week. Let’s get a good show of support.

  • 8th grade field trip

    We met at 6am, we walked and rucked. We discussed the QSOURCE topic Preparedness as it relates to life and leadership. We learned from each other and hopefully got a little better, and a little more prepared for what life will throw at us. “Getting Ready For The Expected While Being Ready For The Unexpected”

  • Miles of hills

    On an especially cold and windy morning 3 men met for some running. We found some hills. Hill repeats on Mt Pisgah and Mt Midlo with timed efforts, recovery, and specific areas to work on. Everyone crushed it! Good mumble chatter that day about kids and Pokémon life lessons.
