Nine made perfect numbers for triple check, despite the Pax’s desire to form teams of 4, 2, and 3. But first, off to the small parking lot for COP – hitting the usuals. Once warmed up, we moseyed to the lucky horseshoe for triple check. Triple Check 1 – run the horseshoe, BTTW, donkey kicks Triple Check 2 – run the horseshoe, HRM, LBCs Triple Check 3 – run the horseshoe, flutter kicks, squats Triple Check 4 – run the horseshoe, box cutters, Carolina dry docks Triple Check 5 – run the horseshoe, right oblique crunch, left oblique crunch Some…

Six men started the week at Hoedown this morning full of hopes, dreams and positive affirmations until they realized YHC brought cold coupons. I was just thinking in my reptilian brain “I can’t feel my flippers” when I noticed we were missing a man…. I guess he got cold feet also. Or maybe a forgotten tooth to drill. Maybe I’ll bring him some better mittens next time. COP- Introductions & Disclaimers. Mosey to big church near Patterson rd. While scoping out Bodos’s competition we partnered up for a triple check. Dips while timer runs around play ground. X3 Mosey to…

A lucky 6 gathered for this weeks Hoedown. With no name on the Q sheet at 8:00 last night YHC took the opportunity to sign up. Perfect numbers for partner work or a Triple Check but neither were to be found today. Mosey down Forest with a left on Spottswood and after some quick Monkey Humpers in 1-800s driveway we moseyed up all the way up Spottswood through the Dogleg and all the way to the end. Mosey to the first mailbox then complete 10 of an exercise, then mosey back and to the second mailbox and 20 of an…

Four scored a block-tastic beat down before seven this morning at the latest edition of The Hoedown. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the ladies learning to Zing Fit, the following saga will be proudly recounted: Form up at the white arrow. THIS white arrow, not over THERE. Run the loop, then the steps, then the weirdly angled handicap ramp that turns inexplicably into stairs and back to the wall. COP: SSH. Just one. Fail. SSHs. Just two. Fail. SSHs. 100 x 4 count. Mostly success, until YHC changed the cadence and threw everyone off. Q Fail. Dead Man…

One of the exercises today was the ‘getup’. The idea is that you sit on the ground and then get up to a standing position without using your hands. It’s not easy to do. I find that to do it, I have to roll backwards and put my hands over my head (parallel to the ground), then swing my arms forward as quickly as possible ending up with my hands in front of me almost touching the ground. Simultaneously, curl up as tight as possible and cross my feet. If I do it right, my center of gravity is over…

Five faithful won over the Fartsack to start of the week at Hoedown. Temps were downright balmy at 38 degrees. We did: COP: SSH, Don Qs, Ukrainian Solders, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Freddy Mercurys, Scorpion Kicks.

Mosey back to pick up Coupons from YHCs truck and over to the TES rock grass section. 50 Block presses. Then run lap and back to Block for exercise, a lap after…

Nine-man PAX in the frigid gloom. Theme was the power of words, for good or ill, and the exhortation from Ephesian 4:29 to get rid of foul talk and replace it with speech that builds others up. Exercised in snow and on pavement. No prayer requests or announcements. Highlight: Crunchy Frog’s penguin slide down the icy slope
