  • Pain with Purple Rain

    YHC had no real plan for the morning because I thought I would be solo but then a different car appears from out of the Gloom and Purple Rain emerges.

    Mosey to door 1 for COP, while trying to remember the name of an exercise (Imperial Walkers) YHC decided the doors was always a crowd pleaser

    Starting at door 1 we alternated LBC’s and American Hammers by door 33 we had abs of steel so it was decided that what goes up must come down so reverso 33 to 1 with Squats and single count lunges. At door 20 on the way up we did 40 because of the A and B doors (IYKYK) and on the way down we did 20 Merkins and 20 LBCs.

    We made it back to door 8 but ran out of time and had to head BTTF

    Numbers / Names Purple Rain took us out

    NMS: That was harder than it looked, my abs are screaming. Thanks Purple Rain for joining YHC this morning, that probably wouldn’t have gotten done if you were not there.

  • Running was a happy accident

    7 Bootcampers and 1 runner hit the Timberwolf launch pad this warm winter morning. Warby wanted to do his favorite Forrest Gump impression so he split and made his way to the track to see how fast he could run on the flats.

    Mosey to the parking lot:

    COP the usual stretches and things to help Kickstart the heart

    Mosey to the side hill for some 11’s. At the bottom 10 Ball Dippers (each side), Bernie to the top for 1 Deep Squat. Rinse and repeat.

    Mosey through the bus lot to light pole alley: Run to the first light do one merkin and run back, run to the second light do two WWII’s on the way back do one merkin. Everytime out to the next pole hit all the spots on the way back. 9 lights total, that’s a lot of running.

    Mosey walk to about the basketball courts and do walking lunges.

    Mosey to the back side wall for a quick triple check

    Partner 1 does wall sits, Partner 2 does donkey kicks, Partner 3 runs around the island.

    BTTF just for fun 5 burpees OYO

    Numbers / Names Rudy took us out

    NMS: YHC really didn’t intend to do a lot of running today but when you only have half of a plan for your Q, you show your true colors.

  • At least it wasn’t solo

    Thanks to Nancy Lopez YHC was not the only one at SOT or MOT (MOT was a NO for today)

    Mosey to the track for COP

    Some stretches, Imperial walkers, LBC’s and other stuff

    YHC had a plan if there were a hand full of PAX today but with Just Nancy and I, YHC decided to modify it. I had done a solo work out a few weeks ago walking the track and doing exercises at the straights and ends (number of lane you’re in) but somehow it seemed harder the last time so Nancy and I decided to mosey the track instead of walk. The exercises where Merkins, WWII’s, Squats and SSH’s

    Mosey walk through the trail and then for real mosey once we hit the concrete path to the bottom of MT Midlo

    At the middle of Mt Midlo start a modified 11’s

    10 Merkins and 1 WWII run to the top 9 Merkins and 2 WWII’s so on and so forth.

    Bernie to the corner of the bus lot

    BTTF numbers / names

    NMS: Nancy is an OSU fan and ***I am not*** but I did admit while as a Michigan and Indiana fan I am forever forbidden by law to root for the school that we shall not speak its name, I will not be rooting against them tonight. I would like to see a rematch of the Big 10 Championship because it was a hard fought game for both teams.

    Like 2025 this beatdown was less than epic but it did allow for catching up with a friend that I am very grateful to have. Thank you Nancy for helping me kick 2025 out the door, may God bless 2026 in a real and Epic way.

  • Slow Roller Coaster

    With just Singer and YHC on the (still in town list) of runners that frequent RR, YHC pre-fired a text with a route that is loved by all. River Downs South up the big hill, loop around the back towards Gumbos old house but turn right early and BTTF. 4.40 by the Garman, Singer turned BTTF at 2 miles which probably gave him 4 +/-

    NMS: There was a day not too long ago that YHC might have been able to catch Singer coming BTTF near JRHS but not having run in a while has taken its toll.

  • I was told there would be coffee!!!!!

    4 Regulars, 1 second post and an FNG but NO Last Call which at Twin Team means no coffee.

    5:30 its wet outside but not raining mosey, mosey, mosey to the side cover at JRHS for the COP. PAX was taken here to stay dry but Orange Crush said that was sissy or something like that.

    First event, partner up for a touch a light post. Partner 1 runs to 2 light post while partner 2 does dips, second round is 2 different lights and Incline merkins, third round is 2 different lights and step ups

    To this point still very loungey mosey to the JRHS track

    Four corners on the track first lap is abs – 20 at each stop Scrunchy frogs, American Hammers, LBC’s and something else. Second lap legs – Squats, Walking Lunges, Ball Dippers and Calf Raises. Third Lap Arms/Chest – Merkins, Wide Grip Merkins, Shoulder Taps And Chuck Norris (10) with Diamond (10)

    BTTF for an Ab ring of fire

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS: Welcome back to Rousey for his second post and welcome to Dig Dug who came with Rousey. Don’t let the name fool you Dig Dug is a mine engineer and not as old as his namesake although he did say he played Dig Dug one time at his Grandmothers house.

  • Morning Burpee Walk

    Solo beatdown this morning at SOT, the runners went their way and YHC was left with a decision. Get in the truck and go get coffee / donuts or do some for of workout.

    Mosey to the track while I think about that. COP, DQ’s, Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, LBC’s, Crunch twists along with some stretches.

    Start on the track with a walk in lane 6, 6 Burpees at the halfway point, 6 Burpees at the far end, 6 burpees at the half way point and 6 more burpees at the close end. Repeto and the number of burpees is the lane you’re in. Basically descending burpees at the same spots each lap.

    BTTF with Lunges up the hill

    Numbers / Names Don Draper took us out

    NMS: Lots of inner thought and reflection time this morning . YHC will not be in Richmond next week so hopefully someone will pick up the Q.

  • What kind of Merkin is that

    YHC, Dumar and Hermie wanted to learn a new Merkin so we met at SOT to get it figured out

    Mosey to the bus lot for all the usuals, YHC saw this on FB reel so it was worth trying

    Plank to merkin, touch the shoulders, Merkin touch the chest (both sides), Merkin touch each knee, Merking touch each foot, Merkin jump up thats one X 10. More of this to come, there is a Mike Tyson in there also (YHC will get it dialed in).

    Mosey to the sidewalk triple check, Mosey to the front of the school another triple check, mosey to the back of the building for 2 more triple checks then BTTF for some stretching

    Numbers / Names Don Draper took us out

    NMS: YHC loves finding new stupid stuff to do and these new Merkins are stupid

  • Difference of opinion

    3 grown A$$ HIM showed up to see if Doozy really could figure out how to download a Tabata Timer App onto his Iphone. Like that we start with a 5 minute warm up, timer has everything scheduled where all YHC had to do was call the exercises. First lap was set to 2:30 and a request was made to get a little more time on the next lap. YHC was able to adjust the lap time to 3:00 but that going to shorten the overall time. The last lap was a once around, numbers/ names and Applesauce took us out.

    NMS: @applesauce is a fan of the loosing team from this weekend and was able to provide all the reasons why they might have lost to the Hoosiers this Saturday. 🤷‍♂️

  • This ain’t the Lounge

    5 Bootcamp junkies and 3 runners hit the mean streets of Midlothian to see if the last beatdown before the holiday would be a bit more Lounge like than a normal SOT. Despite how hard Orange Crush tried to push the issue YHC had a loose plan and shear determination to shave off some access calories before they get added back on tomorrow.

    Mosey to the front of the school, various stretches and the usual DQ’s and Helicopter warm up. Through in a new curve ball with what I call Weeble Wobble Merkins, a merkin in a 4 count where the first down is to the right and the second down (third count) is to the left.

    Mosey back one door for a partner type triple check, the exercises where dips, incline merkins and decline merkins

    Mosey back to the main parking lot for some lunges. What happens when you have a wide open parking lot? Parking lot merkins of coarse, it was about here when OC realized this was not going to be a lounge like ordeal.

    Mosey to the hill, team partner hill repeats. First man up calls an exercise PAX does the exercise while the first man runs to the bottom of the hill and back repeto until entire team has gone. Each HIM calls an exercise for his team to do while he’s running.

    Mosey down the hill repeto but going up hill

    Mosey the back way to the school, to the track for a 4 corners circle style. 10 merkins at the 50, 20 WWIIs at the far end, 30 Jump squats at the opposite 50, (20 LT Dans, 20 squats)

    BTTF, Numbers / Names Don Draper took us out

    Coffee at Starbucks

    NMS: Lots of good conversation and stories about Thanksgiving and what plans everyone has. Talk of kids that are home and kids that will be going away to school soon.

  • 3 dudes, 0 plans

    YHC made it to BWES with no plan to find Bullseye and coming in hot was Singer. None of us had any real plan of where to run but Singer suggested we move in one direction and the road would open up to ideas.

    Terrington turn left at the first street out and back, right to the park hit the extra parking lot, out to JRHS to the end of the road and back to BWES.

    4 miles on the nose and as flat as we could make it

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS: YHC thinks the three of us have found every way to run a minimum of 4 miles and find almost no hills in an area known for its hills.
