Five WestHo studs especially endowed with 4th F power welcomed an SOJ takeover in subzero temps. Marking YHC’s 10th Q for 2025 and (per Big Data) YHC’s 410th documented Q, YHC put experience to work ensuring we all stayed warm. The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the lot, completing x10 Broad Jump Burpees en route Second lap picked up Handshake arriving late and completed another x10 Broad Jump Burpees so he wouldn’t feel left out Circle up near the Virtual Shovel Flag (because YHC’s truck camper-shell locks were frozen and therefore unable to access the real shovel flag…) Welcome &…

Five left the AO and were met with a runner joining as we crossed River. After normal COP spot and stuff we went down River to Gaymont.

16 men, so close to the record, joined to see what epic beatdown that THE Handshake could offer. Mosey around Parking Lot to wait for Fudd and 1-800. Mosey to the top of the Triangle for a Warmup and Drama. COP with a set of exercises from each of the PAX members. In the middle of the COP we heard the faint sound of someone yelling. YHC thought it might have been Kubota and Corned Beef since they had gone down the hill ahead of us, but apparently it was an upset neighbor reminding us that it was 5:00 AM.…

Ten enthusiastic and insightful human beings gathered in the post-broga gloom for this week’s edition of First Watch SZN of Giving. After some debate on whether or not Gomer was early or late, Handshake rolled in and off we went, determining that only our guest would be late today. Short mosey over to the not dry patio for: COP 10x Helicopters – choose your own direction 10x Don Quixotes – apparently too fast at first, but just slow enough to greet our guest 25x SSHs – to perfection 10x Mountain Climbers – with no comments 10x Inverted Scorpion Kicks -…

11 warriors of the gloom emerged for this week’s installment of First Watch. Hutton had some solo yoga/nap/merkinfest prior and came ready to roll! Over to the small triangle park and get wet early in the leaves for COP. Mobile workout the whole way down to Westham Station and back up the hill with an assortment of crowd pleasers throughout. We finished with a mary ring of fire. YHC took us out. Coffee is always a fine way to start any day, but especially Wednesday with this crew!

A generational blend of X’s and Z’s ventured onto the First Watch campus for a beatdown mixed with movie quotes, spring break destinations and other quality conversation gems that will remain discreet and anonymous. Here is how things went down. 5.30 strikes, lets mosey. Handshake coming in hot, let us circle back to collect. Down the dark path to the church parking lot, honoring various burpee traditions. Mosey around to the front of the church for introductions and disclaimers. Warm ups were in cadence and conversation with a few Dead Man Hangs, Invisible Jump Rope, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, Merkins…
