Marv collected the names and YHC can’t remember very well. We had people at 530 looking for Lockjaw to no avail. Marv stepped up and called:

Mosey BTTF while doing Moroccan Nightclubs
Numbers / Names Don Draper took us out
NMS:
Congratulations to Morocco for beating Spain in a shootout win in Soccer yesterday. Spain was expected to be one of the ones that could have won the World Cup and Morocco was not even considered. YHC had threatened to do Moroccan Nightclubs for the entire beatdown but knew that was not going to be possible, there where some to be had during the run portion of the beating. Thanks to OC and Oyster for providing the David Goggins commentary mid way through the suck to get us through it.
YHC rode in a little late thinking there won’t be anyone else. But to my surprise, we had a large PAX and Opus was already leading COP.
9 of the west ends finest plus a 4 legged friend joined for this weeks Heartbreak Ridge
COP Super Mosey from the lot all the way around school/bus loop to hide from the truck that arrived at 5:31 that appeared to be Gypsy. Various exercises while YHC was trying to design today’s Q
Mosey over to the Track and get in groups of 2. First Group sets up at a 100 meter mark, second group and the 200 meter mark, third group at the 300 meter mark, and last group at the 400 meter mark. Group 1 sprints to the 100 Meter while Group 2 does Merkins/Group 3 does Squats/Group 4 does WWII’s. As the sprinters get to next group everybody rotates exercises. Atilla pointed out that we really needed 5 groups because it meant ever rotation people ended up running 200 meters. *This wasn’t absolutely terrible, but it certainly wasn’t good, hard to communicate/people to see on an open track in the dark. Do not recommend.*
Mosey to the field for a “variation” of a Beast. R1 – Burpees, R2 WWII’s, R3 HRM’s, R4 4-Count Flutters, R5 Squats, R6 – 1 of every exercise for each round.
Mosey back to the flag for 2 minutes of Abs
Announcements – An Evening with Honeydo (Christmas Carols) at Fudd’s house in Gaslight on Sunday, December 18th between 1800-2000 hours. “One Hit Wonders” workout at Dogpile on Christmas Eve, there’s a decent chance todays track work will make the list.
Prayer Requests – Pigskins recovery. We were glad he was out without today and could modify as needed. ‘lil Roger’s (Fudd’s son) friend Emily who just went through surgery. She’s a very sweet and talented 18 year-old.
NMS – the Pax was very generous as YHC did a “make shit up on the fly” exercise on the track today. I’m happy/surprised/slightly disappointed by the lack of trolling. Speaking of trolling, i’ve never seen Lighthouse burn anyone, and Fudd was on the receiving end of it today.
YHC was able to coax his 2.0 to come out and we had 5 total show up for a run. We had 3 ruckers that posted at 5am and they logged in 4.5 miles this morning. Here is what went down for the runners:
We leave Atlee High School (AHS) parking lot and run up the hill to the bridge over the tracks then walk down to the level part of Atlee Station Road (ASR) near cool spring Baptist Church. We run around the church and back to the top of the hill at the intersection of Sliding Hill road and ASR. We then walk to the bottom of hill and run mini loop at the Giles Community entrance this is a 1.1 mile route. We do this 2 more times and finish at the AHS parking lot and stretch for 2 minutes waiting for the Ruckers to post up for the COT. It was also nice to see Hershey (No Idea’s rescue dog) as she inspected everyone with a nice nose tap!
Numberama, Namerama, Yardsale took us out in prayer.
Great workout this morning gents and I will see you in the gloom…Cheers…CB
Warmer weather and a slight drizzle established optimal conditions for a run. The Q called the route – out the bat cave, across the shopping center, and over the bridge. Check the watch and pick your own routes to explore the neighborhoods. Head back when time is up.
It was great catching up with folks as we broke into our pods. Negative splits for many and a little wildlife sighting.
YHC took us out.

Final thoughts: YHC was hurting a bit from the night before and took virtually all of the upper body exercises out of the workout. That is definitely one of the advantages of grabbing the Q. Lots of great college football talk. Although we all pull for different teams, there was universal agreement that Jim Harbaugh is a douche.
