While I need the additional miles, the main reason for running with Lighthouse at Brunch Club is to do this post and get Lighthouse to win for the most posts in 2024. Note that he has no desire to win and probably has a dozen other Brunchclub runs with Gypsy that no one recorded. But he should win. He deserves it. And then he gets to go for most Q’s in 2025!!!
3.2 miles pre Gridiron.

10 men joined together at Currahee on a cool fall morning to take on the streets of West end. The conversations were excellent, the dogs were amazing, and route was just far enough. Mobile COT as always. You have to show to know.
SYITG!!

I knew Thursday evening that the cold had a little bite to it, so I was ready… Along with 8 others to see what did I have in store today. Let’s say that I think I am getting a little more evil in the workouts and wait till 2025. My mind wants to bring in things that I had been keeping away far as the quantity of. I will give you a heads up… Come to Rock and Roll next Saturday you will get an idea. Here’s what we did today….
A little fun corn to the stop sign and back then a WARMARAMMA (SSHs, Dead Man Hangs, Ukrainian Soldiers, Helicopters, Merkins, LBCs). After that headed over to the bottom to get started.
Today…. Build a sadistic beast Mudslide style. Using BLIMPS, we went up and down with each letter the breakdown was: 5 burpees, 10 Lt. Dan’s, 15 per side Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Pickle poppers, 30 squats. With a little under 5 minutes left, a little broga (miss Cookie’s moans as his body tries to loosen up). Finished on time names numbers and prayer led by YHC to close it out
This week reports of a lot of drones in the NY/NJ area today we started seeing them in the sky nearby. The irony is later I went with my son’s group to VCU and the engineering department where we saw more drones. I am not sure what’s going on but I am sure will know soon enough. This time of year, things can be good and bad. No matter what, try to be there even if it’s a short visit or meet up I am sure it will make them feel better. I am looking forward to a Florence session at Rock and Roll tomorrow…. Plus next Thursday with my son’s group I run for training, there’s a new spot Broad Rock Sports complex that has workout areas I have been wanting to try. If anyone wants to come out be a guest let me know. I will post a YouTube video what the facility is like. Have a good one, stay warm
A formidable 5 showed up to see what areas we would explore outside of Mary’s netherregions. This route was named after Bodos, given it’s shape, proximity to his abode, and his absence. Today was a reverso of stated routes.

Or was it a drone??? Friday the 13th brought 4 freaky deekie Dutchmen out of their fart sacks and into the frosty gloom for a frigid beatdown! Wildwood catches a falling star and YHC heard on a recent F3 podcast of some men having a drink or two pre workout to get them going, which we might entertain for a NYE workout, if not we’ll just stick to our regularly scheduled beatdown.
Weird Warmarama!
Quick step mosey to the western octagon for – Tie Fighters IC, DQ’s IC, SSH’s IC, 10 Burpee Late Penalty, Cherry Pickers IC, Ukrainian Soldiers IC, WW2’s IC. Mosey to the truck to pick up some coupons to carry over to the Gritty, Gritty, Grid Iron to use only as markers.
The Alpha!
Beavers version of The Beast. Instead of 6 reps per 6 sets, in 6 rounds, The Aplha is 7 reps per 7 sets in 7 rounds. After the 4th set MOT is Bernie’s.
Pick up the coupons for some Coupon Mary -WW3’s OYO, YHC tapped out first. Incline Merkins and F3 Mission, Credo and Core Principles to finish it up!
Numbers and Namarama. YHC closed us out. Happy Birthday to Swisher Sweets, he turned 38 going on 35.
The distinguished gentlemen of the TwinTeam Lounge accepted the good doctor’s invitation to a casual holiday get together, honoring Rosie’s return from IR and welcoming Marky Mark who recently moved in next door. Leaving no man behind, here’s how some gifts were enthusiastically unwrapped:

NMS: Lovely band of gloom warriors this morning at TT for a warm WELCOME BACK to my buddy Pat Moore AKA Marky Mark from my church (WEAG) who recently moved into the neighborhood across the street from BWE. He had the painful experience of being partnered up with YHC this morning, which meant he didn’t have the same selective hearing as the rest of the pax. There’s a BIG difference in single count versus two-count when you’re doing DBC’s! There is very little that gets past Last Call and he was quick to speculate on the possibility of Christmas presents awaiting the PAX when he saw the Taco-mobile returning from behind the school before we got started. Well buddy, you may have groaned initially, but the way you took to that 50# KB I’ll be you’ve already put one on your Amazon wish list. Appreciate all you guys coming out to make it perfect numbers! Yours AYE! ~DTH
Announcements (SEE SLACK!)
4 East Enders rallied up at the flag with a little extra fuel in the tank and guns a blazing this gloom!
At one point Yukon couldn’t help but notice Wildwoods shadow on the ground and what looked like he was packing something extra this morning which ended up with all of us standing in the same direction against the light to cast similar shadows.

10 HIM posted for a Fudd Q today. It’s a good thing YHC decided to show up (slightly late).
Pigskin started the PAX of in COP with various warm up exercises. YHC appeared at 5:35 and took over. After a few rounds of different exercises and stretches we moseyed to the front entrance while YHC brainstormed on what to do next…….
Various rounds of exercises with laps around the circle in between: lawnmower pulls, flutters holding bell overhead, pulse squats, bench presses, reverse curls with presses, various stretches, and maybe some other stuff. I think we did 3 rounds…..
Mosey to the bus loop for overhead pulls, sit and press, Freddie Mercuries, and maybe a few other things….run another lap
Mosey to the picnic tables for 5 x step ups with each leg followed by 5 reps of clean and press with each arm. Then 6 reps of each and run half a lap around the circle. Then 7 reps of each, then 8 reps of each.
Mosey back to the flag for swings and various Mary exercises until time was called.
Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.
NMS
YHC was surprised to hear that his name was on the Q sheet for today when he showed up slightly tardy. YHC cannot remember signing up to Q but forgetfulness comes with age, or so I’ve heard. Regardless, the PAX got a decent workout despite the lack of planning. Coffee afterwards is always a treat…..many thanks to Offshore, Byproduct, and Whitesnake for providing all of the necessary accoutrements.
Prayers for all in need of healing.
Thanks for letting me lead today fellas.
Never stop chasing the wabbitt!
