  • Lightning Bugs

    Muggy and misty is made for KB.  Five KB warriors shook off the fart sack to partake this morning.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Dead man hang

    Great work by the PAX.  Pigskin and Gypsy came in neon.  There was a local runner dressed comparably.  They bonded.  They tried to create a nickname for this group.  Lightning Bugs stuck.  They are cute.  

    The PAX stayed dry today, so that was a win.

    God is good all of the time!

  • Brownish Red Air Quality

    Air quality was not great, but the PAX was stellar.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Dead man hang

      • Curls
      • Sumo squats with a high pull
      • Overhead pulls
      • Flutter presses
      • KB hammers
    • 3x check – run, wall sit with KB, presses
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work from the PAX.  Air quality was RED, with some PAX exhaust mixed in.  For those that do not know, Homer does not own a shirt with sleeves, and Offshore tried to set a record for numbers of curls in light of alternative exercise chosen.  See you in the gloom!

  • ASS to be Notified of Violations

    It was a super HAWT POTATO at Gridiron this morning.  Here is how it went down:

    • Gypsy
      • No COP, just an 11 with merkins and some crazy squat jacks
    • Lighthouse/Mariner – a beast
      • Burpees
      • FM
      • Squats
      • HRM
      • H2H
      • Crunchy frogs
    • Gomer Pyle
      • Super-sized curb crawl (up to 5 and down to 1) with bear crawls, lunges, crab walks, and crawl bears
    • Pigskin – his traditional wall routine 3x
      • Wall sits
      • Balls to the wall
      • Donkey kicks
    • Attila – 3x check
      • Merkins
      • WWII sit-ups
      • Run the loop
    • Chum Bucket – stretches
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    HAWT POTATOES suck.  Everyone brings their fastball.  Homer was disgruntled.  Much of the mumble-chatter will be reported to the Asian Social Society (“ASS”) for various violations.  Out of fear of being targeted by ASS, no further discussion.  We have been warned. 

    Summer tour is on.

    God is good all of the time!

    Announcements include the assumed July 4th convergence TBD.   Summer tour is underway.

    Convergence on Memorial Day at Tredegar at 7 am.

    God is good all of the time!

    Welcome to Spotify.  Apparently when Gomer asks an 18 year-old the first album bought, he looks at you like you have a hole in your head.  Great to have Lighthouse back today, and it is always good to have Gypsy talking incessantly as if he were a 14 year old girl.

    Convergence is coming on Monday, May 29th at Tredegar.  The PAX gets started at 7 am. 

    Celebrate the moms in your life tomorrow.  God is good all of the time!
