The wet gloom of the hump day greeted 4 noble warriors of the Westhoe region.

Apparently, he was talking about Pool Boy and YHC. 4 Bermuda Boys made it out to Goyne Park for the latest Bermuda Triangle Beatdown. The temps were cool and the ground was moist. Not quite what we tend to expect on an August morning in Chester, but no one was complaining. We started with a mosey down to the lower parking lot, and some parking lot chasers, then circle up for an extensive warmarama. Your standard stuff, with a little extra emphasis on the legs. Mosey over to the football field for the Main Event. Yes, the main event came…
3 HIM’s representing the lumberyard – we stretched and we ran miles. Great run fellas way to push through! We talked about 2006 movie Apocalypto – if you haven’t seen it, it’s a great film and it involves running….for your life. We all supported each other through the run and ended on a high note – the tone was set for the day! Some runs are good, some are a struggle. This one was good. Be where your feet are!
The Handshake and I took a cross the river road trip to see the Alamo yesterday. Nancy, during his introductions, stated that all are welcome to attend for a while, but ALL are expected to eventually step up and lead. I guess Handshake took this to heart and felt the need to sign me up for Heartbreak. Then decided it was a bit early and turned his alarm clock off. 12 Men started this 70* & Sunny Tuesday morning with YHC. This is a possible version of what the 12 could’ve experienced. Mosey across the parking lot and back to…
Six men did a lot of stuff, some of it was on the hot pavement, some against a hot brick wall, and due to the traumatic affects it left on my mind some I can’t remember.
Mischief and Hijinx were afoot today as a lucky 13 arrived to run, bike, and walk. Runners were treated to incorrect road-signage-designation courtesy of YHC. YHC was treated to a life-lesson of never leaving one’s garments unattended in the company of his fellow smart-asses, while also paying closer attention to the fashion-choices of others – particularly those with a devious streak…(rhymes with NoDoz).

11 sluggers posted to Huguenot Little League for another chance to drop bombs or hit dingers. It was dark so all had to endure 30 minutes of traditional bootcamp before stepping into the box for swings, but we made it work. Mosey foul pole to foul pole and back again and circle up for COP in the plush, memory-foam outfield grass. Do some traditional warm-ups and stretching, then a Triple Check with the runner running pole to pole, 1 PAX doing a wall sit or pole smokers on the fence and the other doing a combo exercise of 4 merkins…

8 mighty pickeballers of the gloom (and one late-arriving FNG) gathered in perfect conditions for a bootcamp + pickleball beatdown. Everyone but Warby and I was operating on “lounge-time” and joined us at 5:32 after the beatdown had commenced. Here’s what happened: COP: stretch it out Four Corners: 10 merkins, 10 merkins + 20 Squats, 10 merkins + 20 Squats + 30 LBCs, 10 merkins + 20 Squats + 30 LBCs + 40 Mountain Climbers 2x.

The trio linked up this morning to show off how big our balls have gotten. Let’s just say the gains were undeniable. We’ve been putting in work and it shows. All three of us stood there proudly marveling at how far we’ve come. Even the silent lady we pass every day the one who’s never spoken a word of english might’ve let out a soft “Oh my…” as she shuffled by. This is how it all went down….
