  • U say tomato, I say Tabata

    8 of Midlo’s finest made their way to the very dark AO we love to call “No Toll” just to find out that there is actually a Toll to be paid.

    Mosey to the Toll area and pay to cross 20 dips, 20 incline merkins

    Mosey to the parking lot for COP w/ DQ’s, helicopters, imperial walkers, merkins and LBC’s

    Line up on the end line for some parking lot crawls increase merkins at each line

    Mosey to the hospital parking lot

    YHC made 3 lists of exercises and handed them to Rosie, Machismo and Wedding Singer and in that order they revealed what pain their list had on it. PAX did said exercises to music with the Tabata timer going – 4 exercises, 1 minute each with a 10 second break X2 sets

    Time was running out and YHC doesn’t pay for the Tabata app so 2 sets are all you get. Singer had the last list and YHC had to go old school and watch his Garmin for the timing.

    Mosey BTTF but first pay your Toll, 20 dips, 20 incline merkins

    Disturbed – Let the bodies hit the floor was playing so it seemed like a good spot to do 5 Burpees OYO

    Numbers / Names Machismo took us out

    NMS:

    I have been using the Tabata timer at my apartment gym for the last few nights and it seems to help me stay on track. YHC may have to start paying for the app just to get the full use of it.

  • Prayin with Mrs. Lulu

    6 warriors greeted the day to get out and get after it in the BWES parking lot. YHC had plans to lead the PAX on a slow mosey to the new apartment to do a couple dips in the little workout room we have but after considering the mosey at 1.5 miles one way, YHC audibled to a more traditional lounge style workout with some good stretches. No burpees and no cadence where had.

    NMS:

    After coffee YHC wanted to pray over my new friend at the school, Mrs. Lulu. Mrs Lulu is a fantastic example of strength and courage under enormous life BS. She is working two jobs and has blood cancer but as YHC and Last Call stood there talking to her she had more joy and excitement about what’s next for her in life. She is stronger and better than I…..

  • Canadian Smoker

    8 was going to be the perfect number for partner work but Blank Space in usual fashion made it 9 and triple checks it is.

    Mosey to the bottom of the steps for introduction and COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Roscoe’s Mom, WWI’s mosey walk to the ramp lung walk about half way, backwards lung walk a little further down, 25 Sissy Squats using the bar, Butt Kickers and High Knees on the way back to the top

    Mosey BTTF circle up on your 6 for some stretches

    Numbers / Names Scram took us out

    NMS: YHC took a spill at MOT yesterday and thought he might not be able to complete his obligation to Q this morning, so backups were contacted. In the end they where not needed as Bourbon and Tylenol works wonders on the body to speed up recovery.

    The sun was a hazy red this morning and the sky had an “It” kind of mist to it. Scrum informed us that it was due to the fires in Canada hence the title of this BB.

  • The return of Doublemint

    As YHC pulled into the parking lot at Twin Team, he saw someone he didn’t recognize. It was Spinal Tap and then from out of the Gloom Doublemint also appeared like it was straight of a Hollywood Romcom.

    5:30 time for some stretching

    Mosey to the back lot various exercises, YHC made it known that he was trying not to do any merkins

    We did 4 corners, triple check and another 4 corners mosey walk back towards the flag for some dips and step ups to kill time. At the flag we are almost done

    1 Burpee

    Numbers / Names Rosie took us out

    NMS:

    It was so good to see Doublemint this morning after many months. YHC also saw Flange at the James River baseball Regional finals. We were down 6 early came back and made it 13 – 6 but Glen Allen put on a show in the 7th and made it 13 – 11. States will start Tuesday at home. Flange has promised to meet us at the Forge soon.

  • Who schedules a prostitute on their anniversery

    A solid dozen waited at No Toll for someone to plant a flag, Machismo being the hero he is made that happen.

    5:30 lets mosey, pay your toll 25 dips, 25 Incline merkins

    Mosey to the parking lot 25 merkins OYO, it is YHC’s 25 wedding anniversary and despite OC’s suggestion YHC will not be making diner in nothing but an apron. Our anniversary evening will be spent at the JRHS baseball field where we will have hotdogs and chips for dinner.

    Numbers / Names Machismo took us out

    NMS: YHC’s M (April) turned 50 this year, today is our 25th wedding anniversary so she has been married to me for half her life. YHC does not take that for granted, there are times when I would have left me if I could but we have hung together by the Grace of God not by works. As I look at my 2.0’s and think about their lives 22,20and 17, they are so young yet almost as old as my bride was when we got married.

  • These Frisbees suck

    9 disc golf champions gathered on the BWES grounds for a lounge around beatdown

    5:30 mosey to the front door for a quick no counting stretch COP

    Mosey to find a bag of frisbees

    A flag (end point) is called the frisbees are thrown, PAX run to get their frisbee do a merkin for the number of stroke you’re on. If your frisbee is caught you get a 3 merkin penalty, if someone tries to catch you frisbee and misses they get a 3 merkin penalty. First HIM to reach the flag names the next exercise to replace the merkins. Pad Thai gets the award for most first finishes, Deep Dish gets the award for loosing a frisbee and Melville gets the award for best speed walker.

    Good times had by all

    Numbers / Names Pad Thai took us out

    NMS: This proved to be a little less loungy than YHC had intended it to be, by about the third round we were sweating and OC slowed it down with a power walk rather than a run to your frisbee. And yes these frisbees do suck but they only set YHC back $0.15 each

  • It was cold but it wasn’t solo

    5:27 and YHC was looking at an empty parking lot, then in the distance headlights turned in the direction of BWES. Pad Thai saves the day or at least saves YHC from taking a nap in the warmth of the F250 and calling it a Loungy Lounge.

    YHC already had in mind to take the Q if nobody signed up so when Pad Thai started talking about Tabata type beatdown, YHC knew something had to be done.

    Mosey to the covered front entrance for some streaches and stuff no cadence minimal counting and some conversation

    Move to the bus loop for a partner type triple check, partner one run the loop partner 2 exercises

    Mosey walk to the basketball court for four corners

    Mosey to the other side of the court for another four corners

    Mosey to the front entrance for another partner triple check

    Mosey around to the basketball court for merkin suicides, 3 merkins added to each pickleball court

    BTTF finish out the time with some abs and stuff

    Numbers / Names

    NMS: It was good to have a lounge morning with no plan to get to know Pad Thai. YHC has gotten into a rut of knowing who I know and keeping up with them but not really investing the time into the newer to me guys that I see. We all should find a new person and ask them one or two questions that might lead to a bigger & deeper conversation.

  • Solo

    YHC was Solo again while MOT had a nice sized group for a run

    Merkins and American Hammers on the track

    BTTF

  • I see you!!!

    YHC VS YHC this morning at SOT, it’s cold and YHC doesn’t feel like being here. Oh well, I’m here now so might as well get something done.

    Mosey down to the track an do a 2 mile merkin walk. Walk each lane starting with the 6th and do 6 merkins at the ends and sides. Lane 5 do 5 merkins, Lane 4 do 4 merkins so on and so forth. Once you complete lane 1 start going back up (YHC started the way back up in lane 3). In total 8 laps

    Mosey up the stairs and around the front of the school u-turn BTTF but do 10 merkins at each door on the way back.

    Numbers / Names with the MOT crew Wedding Singer took us out

    NMS: Apparently YHC was very interesting to watch during this beatdown. At the far end of the track a cat stood or crouched watching me every time I came around that end of the track. YHC had a good rolling conversation with him every time I passed. He or she did not feel safe enough to come out and great me but I unloaded all the cares of the world on her and she listened attentively every time I passed.

  • I’m not the Alpha, Google me!

    5 regulars and an FNG that EH’ed himself made their way through the Gloom on a wet post rain morning. Pigskin was feeling under the weather and offered up the Q which YHC picked up.

    NMS: Welcome to Beta who much like the rest of us is not the Alpha of the family unit and said he was fat shamed into the open arms of F3. It’s funny because when you meet Beta, he’s not fat.
