Six showed up today early morning. A day before, YHC asked if anyone wanted to Q, no one replied, so by default had to do it himself. We did our usual culdesac run with 10 Burpees and 20 Heels to Heavens on one side (six culdesacs) and 15 Hand-Release Merkins and 60 LBCs on the way back (four more). Overall distance is 3.5 miles. Finished almost on time. Pigskin did his usual walk around the School with 200 Merkings and 200 Dips. Great morning!

White Deer you missed Homer
So, finally, Homer came to Circus Maximus and White Deer missed him.
After some initial confusion about who is Qing, we did a warm up. After warm up, we did Lucky Loop: 20 Lawnmower Pulls (each hand), 30 Curls, 20 Overhead Pulls (30 for overachievers), 20 Skull Crushers, 20 Squats, 20 Lunges, 30 Swings, 10 Burpies (to welcome Homer back), 20 Around-the-World, 20 Sit and Press, 20 Flutter Presses, 20 High Pulls.
Great to see Homer back, but too bad White Deer could not come. We missed a lot of his jokes.

Who Needs Rest
7 showed up on a cold morning. Attila was not feeling well, so YHC had to try to fill his big shoes. When unsure, YHC asked himself: “What would Attila do?” After a warm up, we started with Curb Crawl up to 5 Merkins and down to one. After that, YHC offered choice between dry asphalt and wet field, the pack voted for the field. So, we did Beast on the field with LBCs, Squats, Hand-Release Merkins, Flutters, Jump-Squats, and Burpies. YHC tried to slow down and asked folks to count, but count went so fast, that Q had no choice but continue. We did a loop around the track. Then, three rounds of eight Jerkins. After that ran to the hill and did Noah’s Arc with five WWII at the top: Bear Crawl, Polar Bear Crawl, Bunny Hops, Bernie, Cheetah. Still more time on the clock. Ran to a wall and did two rounds of Wall Sits, ten Chicken Peckers, and fifteen Donkey Kicks. Almost time, so ran to the flag and held legs 6-inches from the ground for count of 60. What a great way to start your day!

Lots of wind
3 showed up on cold and very windy morning. Forecasts promised cold, but wind was unexpected and in your face. Chum ran from GridIron AO to Starbucks and back by himself, making it about 4 miles. Polly and Q started at Starbucks, ran to GridIron AO, did GridIron. Q ran back to Starbucks by himself. Running back is way less fun.

47 and rainy
4 regulars showed up this dark and rainy morning. Interestingly, everyone thought that no one else is going to show up. But, show up they did! Ran to a parking deck. After a usual warm-up we did sevens. First round was hand-release Merkins and two-count Freddies, second round was Burpees and American Hammers. Ran to the lake, did three rounds of 20 Dips, 10 Derkins, and 20 Squats. Ran back to the flag. Finished with 20 pole smokers. Overall, ran 3.8 miles. Great job everyone.

30 and sunny
On a cold but sunny morning 7 Pax showed up ready to work. After the warm-up, we did modified beast: starting with 12 hand-release-merkins, going to 18 WWII, 24 squats, down to 6 burpees, 12 Freddie Mercuries, finishing with 18 hammers. After some running did three sets of People’s Chair 15 Air Press, 10 BTTW Hip Slaps, 15 Donkey Kix OYO. Some more running, three sets of 5 pull ups and 20 dips. Finished with ring of fire of merkings.
My sincere apologies for posting so late. May be some kind of record.

Cumulative beast
On a bright and sunny morning 6 Pax showed up. We missed a lot of regulars who ran marathons, were sick, or just missing-in-action. Roger Roger, following his commitment to bring three FNG in a week, brought one of his neighbors who was named Green Hornet.
Trying to impress FNG, after the warm-up, we did cumulative beast: starting with hand-release-merkins, then added WWII, squats, 2 count Freddie Mercuries, crab cakes, finishing strong with burpees. Not much time left, so we finished with circle of abbs each calling 20 favorites: heels to heaven, LBCs, mountain climbers, American hammers, WWII. Overall a good start for a day of fun.

Three amigos

It was 70 and sunny
