    An elite eleven plus one sexagenarian graced the grounds of Mary to experience a true geriatric beatdown.  A variation of Old Hundred was administered along with a series of Court Crawls.  Along the way the PAX was treated to several jokes ranging from Dad Approved, to NSFW, to SO OFFENSIVE you would never share it with anyone – other than your grandmother….

    Thanks to the PAX for joining me in today’s workout and putting up with my nonsense.  As I advance in age I’m reminded that it is not so much about our personal milestones, but more about celebrating the milestones of our friends and loved ones that surround our lives.

    Kudos to Lab Rat for his move to the Meta death star next month…It was great to see you again buddy

  • Ode To Our Furry Friends

    A formidable 15 arrived to run/bike/walk. Out and back routes were administered with surprisingly no questions nor complaints…which YHC is prone to do.

    Please support Faceplant in his (infant) diaper drive, and you’ll be helping families with limited means to afford such necessities. He is also accepting monetary contributions…

  • 45 Minutes of Gerry: Icy-Hot Edition

    An elite 8, 2 on wheels, and 1 geriatric made for today’s festivities

    Rundown:  Warmup (included a fan-favorite B-Lickers), Stations (Incline-Merkins, Derkins), Descending Doras (LBC, FKs, Merkins), Old Hundred (condensed version), court crawls (bear, crab, polar bear)

    Moleskin:

    YHC was appreciative being out with the PAX after being on the DL. There was a fair amount of mumble chatter which was politely ignored by YHC who was concentrating on administering the best mediocre workout he could muster.   His NSFW jokes regarding mischievous monkeys and self-help books were received begrudgingly by the PAX.

    Announcements:  

    Leave your Depends at home and support Faceplant who is collecting (infant) diapers for needy families throughout the month of October – he will be at Friday RAMM to collect.

    Best wishes to our PAX member Broadway in his recovery.  Reminder to us all to pay attention to those warning signs and not to hesitate in seeking medical help – it can save one’s life.

  • Mind The Chickpeas

    A dirty dozen descended upon Mary to partake in a geriatric-led workout.  A variation of Bodos’ old hundred was administered with only a one-quarter of the running distance applied (imagine that).  Subsequent activities involved a cross-court-crawls and a triple check.

    Good to see Noodles sticking with it and dropping is “Kotters” designation.  Dad jokes appeared to win out over the NSFW anecdotes administered by YHC.

    Convergence this weekend marking 11 years of mayhem.  The gratitude I have for being part of this organization for over 10 of these years is immeasurable.

  • Mark it Eight Dude…

    This many gents showed for a geriatric-inspired workout under the light of a Venus and Jupiter conjuction. Two others demonstrated their peddling prowess on two wheels. Here is the rundown of what can best be described as a knock-off of Bodos’ Old Hundred…

    Run length of field, complete exercise, then run back and wait for the 6. Starting at 90, decrementing the count by 10. Exercises were as follows: Flutter Kicks, Hello Dollys, Mountain Climbers, Box Cutters, LBCs, WWIIs, Merkins, Burpees. (Bonus points to the one who actually reads this BB and can name the exercise that is omitted from this list.)

    NMS

    YHC learned a lot today including an astronomical use for the word conjunction, and for a select few…not speaking to your wife and kids can actually promote family harmony in certain situations…who knew??

  • The Case of the Purloined Polo


    Mischief and Hijinx were afoot today as a lucky 13 arrived to run, bike, and walk.  Runners were treated to incorrect road-signage-designation courtesy of YHC. 

    YHC was treated to a life-lesson of never leaving one’s garments unattended in the company of his fellow smart-asses, while also paying closer attention to the fashion-choices of others – particularly those with a devious streak…(rhymes with NoDoz).
