  • I thought River Run was no longer an AO

    NMS: The overall plan did not go as planned this morning but it kept us moving. YHC had planned to use both the hills together but then realized that they where not as close together as YHC remembered. YHC’s plan was to do a little more cardio this morning but it ended up being a little more than planned.

  • Beach body prep starts now

    6 regulars and 1 FNG gathered for a chilly start to the day at R&R and at 7:00 YHC had to start moving before my feet stuck to the cold ground.

    Mosey around to the back parking lot for COP and brief explanation to our FNG the core principles and tell him he can’t sue anyone if he gets hurt

    Mosey to the concession stand for what Ponch named the dip, dip row boat. PAX sits in a line on the ground with the last person doing dips on the bench while everyone else rows the boat on both sides, timer is the guy in the boat gets out and runs to the stop sign and back.

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out with and example from a Podcast I listened to the other day about putting down the weight that you are carrying.

    NMS:

    YHC is old and does not have the best memory. The hardest thing for YHC to do is remember names and Scripture. As an attempt to put Scripture with the example this morning (without actually looking up the Scripture) YHC wanted to recall the Verse where Jesus talks about his burden being light which is Matthew 11. YHC’s brain kept saying Proverbs 119, which Jesus couldn’t have said because Proverbs came from the Old Testament. YHC did memorize Proverbs 119 at one time but its about keeping your way pure. In the end YHC’s point being that you have a lot of brothers out there in the Gloom that have been or are going through what your going through, don’t carry that burden all by yourself.

  • Solo Ruck, OG Rollercoaster

    5:30 and nobody in the BWES parking lot but the Handyman.

    Welcome to Footloose, so named because he was brave enough to wear toe shoes to a beatdown. Someone mentioned that he might be a mean guy when YHC called him a Friendly New Guy so YHC told him not to bite OC and it went down hill from there.

  • What’s your number 🙂

    9 of the worlds most highly trained and physically fit athletes made their way to Hoedown to see if Doozy wanted to sit in child’s pose or actually do something in this beatdown. According to Bodos’s organ player this is what happened.

    Mosey across the street and 1 lap around the church and back to the far corner of the A lot.

    COP – DQ’s, Helicopters, Deadman Hangs, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers and possibly a few other things

    Bust out the plastic bowls one empty and one full of small slips of paper with numbers on them. Each HIM in time draws a number and the PAX does the exercise and amount of times that match the number on the master sheet. After each 5 HIM drawing a number PAX runs one lap around the church. PAX made it through all 20 numbers and 3 extra credit drawings.

    NMS:

    BT was a little disappointed when I announced that due to YHC’s shoulder injury we would not be doing Merkins, Burpees or anything in the plank position. YHC says a little disappointed because he needed the Merkins for the Merkin challenge but he was happy to not have to do Burpees. He did get some Merkins in by substituting them during the ring of fire and sprinkling them into the workout when possible.

  • Stop licking Oyster!!!!!

    Out of this mornings Gloom there appeared 4 men dressed for success but success at what is what we had to find out.

    5:28 and Heist is telling everyone how he just got over the stomach bug yesterday, to wit Oyster shares his thoughts about people who show up to workouts and talk about how sick they were the day before. Nancy and Doozy had to play the part of grumpy old men and tell the youngsters to stop touching each other.

    YHC must get the PAX back on track (or on the track period) mosey to the top of the hill for COP

    Dead Man Hangs, DQ’s, Cherry Pickers, Helicopters, LBC’s walk to the corner to find 3 frisbees with an exercise written on the inside. Do anyone of the 3 exercises x20, mosey to the next corner and Al Gore for the 6, Repeto at all four corners X3

    NMS:

    The mumblechatter started out strong this morning and quickly tapered as YHC had a little more ground than pound in his beatdown this A.M.

    YHC did try to do the shoulder tap merkins but it was a no go when it came to the actual pushup part so Shoulder taps and Plank Jacks can be added back into the beatings from this part forward.

  • Prostitutes get confused on where their home is

    3 regular (ly) dressed trick or treaters and 1 fully decked out in his anima costume visited RnR this morning to see what Doozy had prepared. YHC had to admit right out of the gate that there was no plan this morning, it was going to just have to come out of his sick and twisted head.

    NMS:

    YHC really did try to think of a good way to make this a Halloween workout but was having trouble getting in the spirit. YHC’s kids are all aging out of the Halloween experience. The M and I will still sit out front in the driveway this year handing out lots of candy / beer (age appropriate) and Posey will head out with friends for some candy but will most likely end up playing X-Box or Play Station. Next year will probably be the harder year because Posey will more than likely not dress up and it will be a year of lasts with our middle child.
