We had a solid turnout this morning with twelve men hitting the pavement for the spider run. Runners tackled different distances: The 4-mile crew completed 3 laps around the track, while those pushing for 5 miles logged 7 laps. Our distance seekers went the full 6 miles with 11 laps under their belts. Important Reminder Time is running out! We have just two days left to support our brothers in Kenya. We’re still accepting donations of shoes, socks, or cash. If you’ve been meaning to contribute, now’s the time to make it happen.
Three men showed up on a rainy and humid September morning. Yardsale took the Q but all 3 had input. Yardsale warmed everyone up with side straddle hops, arm circles, hillbillys and a few others. To get out of the rain we did a couple rounds of triple checks in the courtyard followed by 11’s at the flagpole. Next was some 4 corners with the PAX taking turns on who chose the exercise. We were sure to hit the upper body, core and lower body each time around. As usual Mustang had some exercises that were different than we usually…
After hyping my first Heartbreak Q, Handshake turned off the alarm, thinking he’d just rest his eyes for a minute. Soon thereafter, while he continued to wallow in the fartsack, 21 Gloom Warriors got after it. Following an introduction and disclaimer, COP started with SSHs, DQs, Arm Circles, WWIIs and Mt. Climbers. Next, while still in COP, we got the heart rate up: we ran in place, only stopping for a few firecracker jumps, burpees, merkins, etc. Recovery. Enough of that: Let’s roll! From QMS over to PES for a triple check: P1 scrambles up the stairs, bear crawls over…

3 Gloompatriots emerged for the final Tuesday morning Iron Haul (will now be held Mondays starting next week) for an hour of good chatter and just shy of 3.5 miles traversed! We began by meandering through the Pine Fork neighborhood and back, heading east at the trailhead and through the diamonds. Cut a right towards the pull-up bars and a left around the tip. Once we made it around the whole tip we headed west at the pull-up bars through Copperhead Trail nestled behind the dog park and pickleball courts(we got pickleball!). Once we made it back to the trailhead…
12 Hims graced the beautiful lawn of No Toll to get swole. Machismo’s son Polar Bear says body weight work out isn’t efficient and chose the gym instead Machismo set out to prove him wrong. Warm up we did a lap around the fields to prep ourselves for them pending old glory. We settled into the parking lot for a warmerama. SSH, DQs, IWs, x factor situps, tempo merkins and some weird exercise that really hard to get in count. thang 1.
