  • Offshore is accepting 3 different types of fluid donations

    20 strong attacked Mary this morning and here is how we rolled..

    Warm up : SSH’s, Helicopters, Windmills, IW’s, Merkins, Flutter Kicks, LBC’s, Burppees

    Ring of Fire : pax hold plank while doing 5 pull ups

    Partner Dips : 3 sets of 15 partner dips partner holds feet.

    Triple Check : Run the perimeter of the black top – LT Dan’s – Captain Thor’s

    Polarbears – Donkey Kicks – bear crawl every 5 steps do a merkin to the fence at the fence 10 donkey kicks run back to start and plank – repeat.

    Curb crawls : curb crawl dips ladder up to 10 and back down

    Burpee Shuffle : jog in place each pax member calls out burpee one at a time all the way around the circle.

    6 inches – boom..

    The scoop: YHC was glad to see such a strong crowd this morning – way to represent dudes..

    It seemed at the start some of the pax was still half a sleep – so YHC had to get that straight quickly. No half assin at a Swirly Q – you approach the workout like it’s your last chance to make the team – you give it your all – it’s not abut being first or the best – it’s about doing your best! TYA texted YHC this morning saying he was not gonna make it – was up in the night with some recurring stomach issues – but 10 min later he pulled up to Mary – parked and got in big blue – YHC said hey you good dude – TYA says yeah I realized I was making up  excuses and F&%$#@ that – no excuses baby – Yep you damn right  that brought a tear to YHC’s eyes – F&*%$# love it dude – that action says it all TYA!

    Some of the pax might have thought that YHC was grumpy this morning – but  not at all YHC  was just ready to work – and work we did along with some great laughs. Handshake took a spill on the triple check hope you recover fast dude – rub some dirt on it walk it off take an advil – whatever you gotta do man..  Viral was not about to get caught on his last run of the triple check Hardywood called out to him and Viral turned on the burners – way to push Viral – never seen you run like that – wow !

    Lot’s of grunts and moans during polar bears and curb crawls but nothing like the sounds of moaning during 6 inches after a burppe shuffle – music to YHC’s ears…. Great job guys – thanks for letting me lead this morning.

    CSAUP – It’s here – let the fun begin – get there tomorrow no later than 6:45.

    Healing place – Slurpee is the Q on the next one please see him to assist .

    Ok as the title of the BB says – Offshore is in need of fluids – never has anything like this been said in the COT but hey it’s a COT so it’s a safe place 🙂 After all the laughter it turns out this is actually a  real thing  – Offshore  is leading a study –  the city  crime investigators need to practice discovering different fluids at crime scenes  – so if you want o give blood – piss in a cup –  Cuff the Governor  – Shake Hands with the Mayor – Slap little Johnny behind the ears – box the clown – choke the chicken- sling the snot – or whatever other middle school boy term you can think of 🙂  See Offshore – he will gladly accept your donation. Phonics  said he was all in until he heard you had to give blood – that was a deal breaker 🙂 hilarious …

    Viral took us out – well said Viral – hard to be serious after Offshore’s words – I think Hardywood is still shaking from laughter 🙂

    See y’all in the gloom…

  • Cross route or a t ?

    19 strong posted for the run this morning and here is how it went down.

    TYA gave the instructions – fella’s we are doing the cross route in honor of Good Friday. Commonwealth to Monument left on Monument to Staples mill – back down Monument left on commonwealth to Broad – back down commonwealth to monument left to Belmont – back up Monument to Commonwealth.  Yep this is the 5 mile route cause YHC did not listen to the streets for the 4 and 6. YHC is assisting with writing the BB for TYA today…

    19 is awesome to have @ RAMM – let’s keep that up dudes!

    So this all started after Splinter texted TYA last night and asked if he was doing the cross route… Yep it was gonna be old school but after brief consideration TYA went with the cross route or as Marv like to say oh we are running a t  – 🙂 The parking lot was coned off so YHC parked on the street – wow been awhile since YHC has done that – but figured that was the right call – gotta keep the school happy – no moving the kindergarten cones..  Everyone seemed to have a good and safe run other than my man BT – who tweaked that back again and was walking like a 90 year old man…. Good news is he went to see our brother Flipper and got that sucker worked on – Flipdog will have him back in action in no time – atta baby Flip! Glad to hear you are feeling better BT! Splinter allowed his daughter to see Feris Bueller’s day off and she did not laugh in the first 15 min which concerned Splinter cause when he walked in and sat down he was rolling with in seconds – hey Splinter try Fletch next man  no way she can’t laugh at that one or maybe Caddyshack – weird science, Major league any of those are sure to have her laughing immediately dude  🙂  Fuudski took us out with some very appropriate and powerful words. We indeed have much to be thankful for but most of all we are thankful for the love and the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior. Good Friday is a time of reflection – Easter is a time of celebration – let us reflect and celebrate this weekend.

    Well done today guys – each of you encourage and inspire me everyday.  See y’all in the gloom..

Hard to believe it’s been that long… It has been great to be back @ No Toll over the last month. Thanks to the pax for allowing YHC to lead this morning it was a pleasure.. YHC is not fancy with his Q’s – YHC simply just goes right at it – not alot of flair or special  themes to go along with the workout – so it may not be as entertaining as some other Q’s but hopefully the pax was glad they came out this morning because they got themselves a workout !!

    Great to see 18 out at No Toll…. Let’s follow DK’s lead and reach out to some of the guys we have not seen in a while and encourage them to get back out there.. Let’s continue to keep our brother Flatline in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Remember to sign up for the CSAUP… If your interested in helping with Breaking bread – get with Kubota – he’s got the lead on the next one. If you are interested in helping with The healing place run after Dogpile  – check with Honeydo, or Upchuck..

    Thanks to Flashdance for taking us out today. Great work guys way to push – feeling it in my shoulders!!!

    See y’all in the gloom….
