  • Dirty Dozen for a Harvest Moon Old Glory

    12 souls rose with the Harvest Moon knowing what was in store and eager to set a new PR, or just get sweaty.

    Brief warmarama and stretch because YHC has a feeling someone would be rolling in late – and DK didn’t disappoint. Collect DK and the SF and off we go.

    Two laps.

    Plant Flag, set timer for 20 minutes and GO – Corner 1, 20 merkins; Corner 2, 20 jumpsquats; Corner 3, 10 Burpees; Corner 4, 20 WWIIS.

    Meet back at SF for 2 laps Native American style until the jail break was called with 1 minute to go.

    Log your laps her: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-L8e9W24ygnU0suaGyKxzi1PgPqY1CBd57hLrKTZI-g/edit?gid=1717732871#gid=1717732871

    COT, Numbers, Names, Prayers

    Great effort today. Fields were plush as always. And, our War Daddy (Doozy) led the way.

  • Kicking off July with an OG

    10 patriotic gloom warriors posted to NoToll to test themselves with the Old Glory.

    YHC grabbed the SF at 0530 and it was game time. Mosey around the fields 2x for a mile. Plant the flag and set the clock to 20 minutes for AMRAP 4 corners: 20 merkins, 20 jump squats, 10 burpees and 20 WWIIs, then back to the SF for another mile Native American style.

    It was steamy. The sprinklers were on. YHC had a flat tire (old shoe creating a blister) so I opted for no shoes after the 1st four corners. Felt great on the grass!

    Beautiful start to the morning! Thanks for coming out men. Record your laps here if you would like:

    3 minutes of Mary at the end, including Superman. He Qs – we need to teach all the newbies how to do Superman. Bring it back. I need more people to sing along!

    • HR Derby at Huguenot Little League 7/15. Don’t go to NoToll that day.

    Prayers for Doozy’s friend who recently lost his father and for all those out traveling, defending our country or just dealing with shit! Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Say hi. Reconnect.

  • Tax Man Cometh and he’s bringing Old Glory with him

    12 intrepid gloom warriors (and 1 OG virgin) posted to NoToll to pay their taxes and challenge themselves with Old Glory.

    You know how it goes – 1 mile, 20-minute timer 4-corners AMRAP (20 merkins, 20 jump squats, 10 burpees, 20 WWIIs) and finish with 1 mile native american style.

    The fields were extra wet this morning, which slowed the pace, but it didn’t reduce the pain.

    Well done men. Fill in your details here if you want to keep track

  • Closing 2024 with an Old Glory

    9 gloom warriors posted to NoToll to close out 2024 in style – with an Old Glory. Most knew what was coming and came anyway. A few, including on DR visitor, didn’t know exactly what they were in for. Either way, 0530 cam and off we went to dodge the Recycling truck and get our work done.

    Mosey to the back fields and around for 2 laps with OG in tow.

    Plant OG in the front corner and set the 20-minute timer for large 4 corners – 1) 20 merkins, 2) 20 jump squats, 3) 10 burpees and 3) 20 WWIIs. Complete as many laps as you can in 20 minutes. GO.

    Time is called. Convene back at the flag and line up for indigenous people run, with OG leading the way. 2 laps and back to the parking lot, including Oyster leading a jailbreak to keep OG away from Tinman.

    3 minutes left for some Mary – Freddies, Dollies, Rosalitas, Reverse Crunches and 30-seconds of Superman.

    COT, numbers, names and YHC took us out with reflections on 2024 and hope for 2025.

    MOLESKIN

    Best showing of the week during spring break at The Creek today. Glad to have Trail Mix (renamed during our 2nd F time) out for the second day in a roll

    YHC took a poll since it was spring break to shortly the workout 15 mins and have extended 2nd F time at Rinse and Shine. Knowing Mr Holland would be their at least, plan was put into place. YHC was surprised to see the number of cars pulling in at 5:30.

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Puddles, Rucks, Old Glory and a Ghost?

    An unafraid 14 showed up for a mudbath mixed with an Old Glory. 8 doubled-down with rucksacks and 1 turned into a ghost. Just another great morning at NoToll.

    Old Glory made its quarterly appearance and most knew what was coming. Scram did not, and I’m guessing Bullseye did not. Bullseye disappeared after lap 1 – he may have tweaked something or he may have drowned in one of the corners…TBD. No, seriously, I hope Bullseye is fine and just decided to save himself for tomorrow. Throw up a flare and let us know you are ok, brother.

    The rest of us were water-logged before finishing the first mile. Then the clock was set for 20 minutes of fun. Burpee-corner was especially wet but we make it work.

    Major respect to those who did it with rucksacks and especially those (NTB and Dealer and others?) who ran it with the rucksacks. STRONG!

    A few minutes of stretching and planks to finish us off and then numbers, names, and a WET COT with prayers for all those suffering illness or injury and for safety for NTB’s brother who is in Israel for work and some travel.

    Lots of Rucking options out there. Sign up for GTE if you will be around.

    New Crossings AO tomorrow evening – see Slack for details

    Be good today!

    No More Gumbo for you.

  • An OG Sweatfest

    A fearless 16 men knew what was coming (or that something that earned a name was coming) and posted anyway. No time to chat, 0530 Let’s ___ Go!

    YHC with SF in hand started the mosey to the back lot and 2 laps around the fields for mile 1.

    Brief gathering in the near corner to plant the SF and give quick directions, clock set for 20 minutes, OG starts NOW:

    Corner 1 20 merkins

    Corner 2 20 jump squats

    Corner 3 10 Burpees

    Corner 4 20 WWIIs

    As many laps as you can do in 20 minutes. Then 2 laps around the field Native American style until Rosie broke from jail and BTTF.

    It is simple, effective, and brutal all at the same time. And, don’t sleep on those jump squats. If you do them right, they hurt every bit as much or more than the other corners.

    Several OG virgins today. Can’t wait to see if you all come back for the next edition – probably early December. Just look for Gumbo on the Q sheet at NoToll.

    For those who want to track their progress, here is the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-L8e9W24ygnU0suaGyKxzi1PgPqY1CBd57hLrKTZI-g/edit#gid=1717732871

  • A Post March Madness OG

    8 stalwarts posted to NoToll this morning (2 extra early for some Broga) and most knew exactly what was in store…perhaps others stayed in the fartsack or traveled to a different Nano region to avoid it – only they know.

    The 8 of us crushed an Old Glory and are all better off for it.
