Beaver got called to an emergency job out in Nashville TN region this week. Roughly 15 HIMs showed up this gloom for a leg day beatdown led by Yum Yum. We had an FNG from Hamilton Ontario Canada we named Treudont. Met a PAX member, Spencer Wesgard whose family sold land to Sierra Pacific which is my employer.
Great beatdown!

3/13/2025. 15 ITG for a journey. “Look forward to every day as you are about to embark on a great adventure” (Major Doug Zembiac, USMC).

Warm-up: mosey to adult playground. Hop, groove and jumping-jack to music. 1/2 way thru, do 1 full range, controlled pull-up. Continue in a relaxed fashion. Did approx 10 pull-ups each. Back to warm up to fast pace music. Lots of jumping jacks. HR was up.

Mosey to Western Av. Anytime “Jungle Boogie” was playing, we were doing fitness. This time was OYO Merkins. Maybe you did 15. Maybe you did 35. Who knows. Mosey to other side of Solidier Field Rd. JB to Air Squats. Mosey to outside amphitheater adjacent to the Charles.

Thang: The journey began with an explanation. Your humble Q had a mission to create something and the ask was to follow along. We breathed our way into the start of a 12+ min song and then as a unit, we crushed fitness as a team, together, to synchronized movements to the songs different parts. The exercises were varied, the tempo changed, but the message was simple. We are all warriors, but we struggle nevertheless. If we do it together, we are stronger. Our shield is not as heavy, our burdens are lighter. 12:44 seconds later, we were more fit, and emerged tighter. The journey will continue nevertheless…

Mosey back, JB played and it was mountain climbers into air squats.

Three stretches were requested and performed. @Gomer Pyle RVA led us on the final one. He can tell you the name.

COT…let us not forget perspective.

Coffee: Starbucks killer @Jello for the W.

Welcome FNG Nate and downrangers Gomer Pyle and Aikman (sp?)

FNG Steve was named “Stage Fright”

Thank you to @Dunder for bailing me out in my senior moment during the photo.

One very thankful, black t-shirt wearing American said thanks for the opportunity to celebrate 9 years and 5 months of The Clinic. Temperatures, thankfully, were 70 and sunny. According to the front desk clerk (thank you for staying, Mr. Upchuck), the following might have happened.

Ran north thankful for the pleasant breeze. Then, Fudd at the office (thankful for the nice tp). Further north, until Broward, looped back and retraced the route. Just shy of 5.

Number, name, and YHC took himself out.

NMS – The Circus is in town, both metaphorically and actually. Anyone in the vicinity of the Westfield / Broward Mall Metroplex (Gumbo?) should come on out if you have the guts and / or the wrench set required to enjoy safely a circus carried on 20 tractor trailers. Sketchy.

Question of the morning – which PAX member could you picture working at The Circus? Which ride / attraction?

Announcements: already made.

1 ran 5 at 5.

6 men emerged from the darkness for a Wednesday night 1 hr AO in the small town of Waynesville NC. Triple Respect to Holahan’s Q. Once again, when Beaver comes to town, it’s for a coupon workout.

One hit the mean streets of Plantation in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the Plantation police department staking out the La Quinta, the following, well, since they were watching the hotel, they have no idea what happened.

Lake loop, cross Peters, parking lot (no fudd), 6th, Broward Mall, reverso at Broward and same route backwards back to the virtual shovel flag.

Number, name, and YHC took himself out.

Announcements / NMS:

Wawa opened next to Starbuck’s. Talk about fighting inflation.

Beaver made it downrange for a gear loaded AO called The House of Pain! It was like watching a circus act as I witnessed Funion remove one item after another from his hatchback. Kettlebells, jump ropes, lifting bars, a large tire, and a log! A yoked Tetris master indeed.
Funions routine was complex as we teamed up, all struggled to understand which workout to do next among the many that were available, this included 25 reps of overhead presses and curls with the lifting bars. 25 reps of jump rope, dragging a tire loaded with kettlebells and hauling a log up the hill, burpees and some running to and fro.
we ended with some competitive 4 PAX team tire pull while the remaining PAX planked and ended with some Mary.

Shoutout to my partner this gloom The Exchange!

One lifted himself out of The Fartsack in the most recent central Florida edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the man walking his puppet-sized dog, the following might have happened:

Leave hotel, turn right to find the path, nope, not there, turn around, proceed about 2 miles on the path, reverso, and BTTVSF. Number, name, and YHC mumbles to himself in front of the hotel.

Announcements: YHC suggests that now is the time of year to go to Disney. Or, to an indoor call center technology conference.
