Fortunately, the answer was ‘yes’. Given the rain, and with the snow on the ground, we opted for the covered walkway and stayed dry. We did a ‘Hot Tater’ and dreamed of 67-degree weather in Florida. Actually, I’m hoping for a decent snow. Since I moved here 3 and half years ago, we haven’t had much snow. I’m hoping the rain doesn’t wash it all away. Upchuck started us off with: (this is roughly right) 35 SSHs in cadence 10 Monkey Humpers in cadence 15 Imperial Walkers in cadence Stretch (touch the ground) Cobra 10 Reverse crunch in cadence 10…

Looking down said shopping plaza for potential Yoga girls to gawk-at, at Zinger Fit YHC noticed 54 structural walk way poles he could potentially put to good use. Something Simple, Something Easy. Easy as One, Two, Three. So YHC quickly…

A cool dozen emerged from the warm enclosure of their idling cars. The clock strikes 530 and off we went with a short mosey to the small teacher’s lot. The circle was small to preserve warmth, and got even smaller with the Ukrainian Soldiers bringing us in nice and snug. A jog down the road and up west drive got the blood flowing as we transitioned into teams of three for triple check. Run the loop, monkey humpers, and box cutters. Though the little dog noticed us with barks, no angry neighbors shouted out the time of day. Over to…

0500 when the alarm went off YHC would head the sound of steady rain outside there was a strong pull to stay in the Fartsack. The idea a wet and cold muffin top was not high on the list, but after YHC Fartsacked last week after writing “Hawt Potato” on the Q sheet YHC knew it couldn’t be done twice in a row. YHC pulled into the parking lot at 5:28 and saw one lone vehicle, Vandalay. YHC was happy to not be alone, it almost 7 years YHC has avoided being a solo poster and today wasn’t going to…

As I was sitting in my car at 5:27am in the otherwise empty Tuckahoe Elementary Parking lot I began to wonder what I was going to do if no one showed up to Hoedown on this November Monday. Do I do a workout by myself out of spite (kinda like Conspiracy did that one time he was late and TYA immediately bolted up Kingscrest at Munford)? Do I go home and go back to the sack? Maybe I just go for a run, although I’m not wearing my running shoes? What’s the protocol here? Fortunately, three other west enders showed…

Light crowd at Hoedown this morning where three dudes gathered to kick off the week. After a fantastic COP, a burpee 5 min drill, several Dora’s, a together triple check and 150 too many Supermans we wrapped up with some announcements and YHC took us out. Sorry to those who missed the fun. There was a Bodosmobile sighting in the church lot but no Bodos today. The frozen food truck was all up in our business during warm up, must have been a new driver. The rest of the morning’s details are classified.

Five came out to Hoedown with the time change. We started with 4 but Fudd joined us in the COP. COP: SSH, IWs, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Scorpion Kicks. mosey to 3rd parking lot for 4 corners. 1st round: Merkins, WWIIs, Heels 2Heaven, SSH. 2nd round: 10 Merkins, increase Merkin count by 5.
