  • Where are you?

    YHC went to post with the Men of Cartaret County for a Saturday beatdown. Left the house with some time to spare. 5 minutes in realized failed to bring my phone. Thought I could locate AO off memory only to realize much to late I could not. In the parking lot I did find I did COP, 2 Jacobs ladders with Merkins/WWII’s then Drydocks/box cutters with about 100 yd run on both. Ended with a mosey with various exercises mixed in.

  • Not what you expected

    YHC found 10 other gloom challengers waiting in ready position. This being April 1st YHC was full of challenges. After COP YHC called for a run to Genito which was met with groans. Luckily this was just April fools. YHC had also conspired with Hermie to move Roscos car during workout but he fartsacked. My personal favorite as getting to AO early enough to get Jinxy to ask for Rosco’s 2.0’s hand in marriage, but that did not workout, so on to the workout.

    COP- 20 each SSH, LBC; 10 Each DQ’s, Jazzercise, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Tic/Toc’s, Coper head squat, Dead man hang, Merkins, Flutters, Dollies.  

    Run to the villages. We appeared to be going to Genito but YHC made a hard right at the last second. Run the villiages stopping at each side street to perform PAX called exercises building in increments of 10. Started with 10 Merkins and included but not limited to: Drydocks, monkey humpers, Squats, LBC’s, etc. On the hill we did a 3X’s repeato with a Bernie down exercise and run back up. Made it to 100 then started reverso back down to 60 before we reached the flag. A lightning round of Mary finished us off.

    Prayer Requests. Prayers to all PAX traveling over spring break.

  • 3 doors down in the rain

    YHC may have been hoping for an empty parking lot this morning so he could go home and Peleton in the warmth of his basement. The night prior when YHC saw the forecast of rain he checked the Q sheet to see if he would want to partake. Obviously forgetting he was Q! According to the bus driver here is what went down.

    COP- extended with extra exercises under the awning.

    Triple Triple! 3 triple checks runs were on 1st to door 1, 2nd to door 2, 3rd to door 3. Various exercises performed by the other 2 including MErkins, LBC’s, squats, Lunges, etc.

    Mosey one more lap to door 3 then BTTF as the rain stopped.

    YHC took us out in prayer.

    Thanks Bullseye and Florence for the motivation this AM.

Some walked some ran but all impacted Galactosemia! 2.28 is rare disease day and thus is why GLOW started years prior on the first weekend in March. I appreciate this group so much for support. If you were not able to post I will get you your runner bag this week.
