  • GOOOOOOOAL!

    World cup is upon us and the Americans are doing great with yet another victory yesterday. For some odd reason I can not get the games on standard FOX so I am having to watch them all on Telemundo.. I need Pigskin to come over and translate for me.. but what I do know is how excited they get when there is a GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!. with the Argentina and Brazil games , those commentators , we’re on a Tater level high , with all of those goals.

    YHC appreciate all the pax showing update to help.me say goodbye to the 40s and prepare for the 50s. In what is becoming a Gridiron tradition for all of us Boneyard Expendables.. we started the Birthday Q with a shot of the Q’s choice.. today was Angel’s Envy Kentucky Bourbon. 7am.. time to mosey..

    As mentioned.. it’s World Cup season so we headed to the nicest pitch in all of the Westend… no gravel asphalt for YHC.

    Time to get to work. As Handshake said… we are going to Rawdog it. 1st exercise of the CoP.. Da Merkin. No helicopter.. no SSH.. no Arm circles.. and damn sure no scorpion kicks.. continue with warm up.. time for Sally Up/Down using squats as the exercise.. that’s a long damn song.

    Next up is 4 Corners.. or what ever you want to call it. 1st round chest exercises 10 each…2nd round Abs, 20 each..3rd round Legs 30 each.. Start at center 5 SSH. run to a corner. Do exercise run back to center. 5 SSH.. go to next corner. For chest we had: standard Merkin, Wide, Diamond, Carolina Dry Dock. Abs we had: WW2, LBCs, American Hammer, Heels to heaven. For legs we had Bomb Squats, Jump Squats, lunges, Sumo Squats.

    Circle up.. time for more music: Roxanne. Every time Roxanne is said you do an Irish sit up.. I think this is a made up Tater exercise but we go with it.. it’s a WW2 with and American Hammer at the top of the setup.

    We Kill some time with a round of 11s. From the touch line to the midfield using Merkins and WW2s..

    Time for last song on the Playlist…Thunderstruck. this sounded better in my head than in reality.. Plank Position for the entire song and when you hear Thunderstruck you do one Merkin.. we all modified at some point but stayed with it.

    Time to mosey.. over to the Blue children play area.. another soft mat area.. still no exercises on asphalt or dirt. Lol.

    10 minutes of Mary. Called every ab exercise i could think of.. messed the count a few times laughing at the expressions Polly was making.

    Finish with a round of more Merkins.

    count us off.. 18 HIMs.

    Thank you Mr Roger for taking the pax out while I placed myself on the IR for a few mins..

    Announcements: 4th of July convergence at Gridiron. Come get your ass kicked by the Boneyard boys. We may all be RESPECT but that just means we have more practice than most.

    Summer tour still rolling along.

    NMS: Another year in the history books. Thank you guys for being there with me.

    SYITG!!

  • Crazy 8

    Forgot to write the backblast..


    Ran the crazy 8. That route sucks with mile 4 going up Glen Eagles.
    We solved all the world’s issues like understanding the Egg definitely came before the chicken… And if someone is wearing at Ruck back they might actually be going rucking.

    Rumor has it Upchuck has an assignment for someone willing to help Reach to him for more details.

  • Impromptu Q

    Making the money it’s been a minute since YHC has Qed to boot camp so when you get out of the car and the site Q says Gypsy you got it.. you just kind of got to wing it. What could go wrong.

    6 pax launch at 5:30 head over to the dog park and set up for and set up for a two-person dora.. 2 others went on a ruck.

    DORA: pair up.

    Exercise 1 100 hand release Merkins

    Exercise 2 200 squats

    Exercise 3 300 WW2.

    Head back to AO with blisters on the tailbone and trampstamps removed. (showers will not be fun)

    Plan at the AO was to do elevens in the tennis court. However, we lost a pax so plan be was everyone split up and find him.

    All iin all everyone was safe, got in 3 miles and some exercise. Mission accomplished.

    No mmajor announcements

  • Mt. Crumpit

    Forgot to write the Backblast until 2nd F after WTH with Mr Roger.

    The Currahee crew went in search of the happy EF Grinch’s cave on top of Mt Crumpit. Aka. Glen Eagles cult de sacs.

    5+ miles of hills.. but the cave was found and no man was left behind.

    Merry Christmas you all.

  • Lake Loreine and where ever the Ruckers went

    Westhoe continues to grow and we are make use of every AO we can. Currahee has transformed from a couple dedicated runners to a full on Run/Ruck AO. Today we had 14 PAX and 3 crotch sniffers join in for this week’s installment of tour da Tuckahoe. Route was Lake Loreine we an add on. 5.25 miles if you did posted route. A few back to last and a few skipped turns made sure no one had same mileage. As for the ruckers.. They tucked the big square around Raintree. Mumble Chatter was epic.. But it’s a mobile COT.. so have to show to know.

    If you wasted this much time reading this..then you have 30 extra seconds to go text a pax member you have not heard from in a few months. It might be just what you both need to get through the week. Just go do it.

    Oh yeah.. T-Claps to the SOJ crew on the Daddy Daughter dance set up. Way to go on bringing the 2.0s into your Centraca. 👍

  • Crazy 8

    With the temps back in the 30s and 40s it makes it easier to push the pace and distance. 14 pax showed up to Rick and Run around Westhoe. There was a little mumble chatter off the start about being sore from yesterday’s KBs at Circus… But that soon faded as we turned to go take on some hills.

    Pushed the pace today on the 5.5 mile route with Chicaron, so we didn’t get a chance to chatter with others.

    The ruckers all seemed to be in good spirits when they returned to the AO.

    EF Hutton said we wanted more hills..

    Pinto and a few others took on the 4.5 mile route

    Lighthouse picked up Full House and covered some extra credit.

    thank you all for showing up and holding me accountable.

  • It was Venus

    12 guys and 2 dogs stood around after a hilly run around Westend waiting on Pigskin to tell us what planet was shinning next to the moon this morning.. After a fair bit of time most walk away not knowing.. He was able to finally get the app to work and it was Venus. So now you know…

    As for the workout… We ran. A few lefts a few rights.. Many hills.. I heard Mr Roger’s and Lighthouse talking behind Full House and I.. Salt lick talked bedpan ear off.. Pigskin rolled solo. Blue moon and Handshake walked a dog.. Not sure how the others paired up. 4 of us did the 5 mile route, 6 did the 4 mile, 2 did a walk.

    thank you Mr Roger for taking us out.

    11 yr anniversary tomorrow at Dogpile.. 0630.

    SYITG.

  • SNAFU

    11 Men and 3 dogs came together for the final Friday Bro Code pace route around the Tuckahoe area. Situation Normal…. Nothing major to report.

  • 4th of July at Currahee

    Two for a run out of Godwin before the clown car to the official Independence day convergence at Atlee. We got in 5 miles with a very simple route. All runs are mobile COT so you gotta show to know.

    SYITG!!

  • Nothing was right

    It’s Currahee we always have a Q.. We’ll at 930 Thursday night still no Q.. So YHC is local site Q and means I got it.. Show up at standard time and I’m the only one in the lot. Where is EF Hutton?? He is always 1st to arrive. Did I not read something about a convergence? OK. Checked slack. No convergence and it is in fact Friday. Weird. A few cars coming in a bit early. Holy crap it’s Handshake… early??? Am I being punked? 5:29:30. Um excuse me. WHERE TF is Mr Roger and Wally? Something is not right about today. Set the route and we all head out. 45 mins later we all show up.. Well almost all showed up. Bedpan is missing. He missed a turn and as I’m headed out to find him, I get this text: “Curahee. I took the long road. I’ll meet you at Dunkin. I’m already there.”. Lol. My brother Bedpan ran extra miles.. Didn’t come back to AO where his car was and stopped where he knew we would go for coffee. 🤣 Lighthouse gave him a ride back after coffateria.

    Anyway. It was a circus of random shit at Currahee today. Glad we all were safe. Oh yeah.. I Forgot.. Roger Roger and Salt lick had a car try to take them out as well. CRAZY times in Westhoe.

    SYITG!!
