  • Rain Run

    Out Coalfield for 22 mins and back.

  • Cut and Paste

    5 of Bermuda’s roughest, toughest, gloom warriors came out to Goyne Park for a hot potato Q. As far as workout bargains go, you can’t beat 5 Qs when we usually get 1. We definitely got our money’s worth on this one. Here’s how it went down.


    YHC started with a mosey lap down to the lower parking lot then back to the cushy playground surface near the pavilion for a warmarama.

    Then pass it off to Broadway for

    Pool Boy COP


    Alternating Imperial curb crawl with swingers in rotation.

    Mosey BTTF for a few minutes of Mary until time.


    Great work by the whole crew this morning, and each COP in this backblast was authored by it’s creator. YHC loves to cut and paste!

  • Battle of the Bands


    It was the dynamic duo at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary this morning. Pool Boy and I got some Pull Up Training in with my new resistance bands. Glad it was warmer this week, so touching the bars didn’t make our hands go numb. Here’s a quick description of what transpired.


    Warmup and stretch. I  always have to stretch the neck.

    Then some hollow rocks.


    Followed by some kipping reps or chest to bar pull ups
    3 sets of 5


    Then 5 strict form pull ups with the resistance bands and 15 Full body dips
    3 rounds


    Then 3 corn cob negatives


    Finish off with band assisted pull ups to failure.


    Then bttf to meet up with the Bermuda gang for Hot Potato beatdown.

  • Christmas Lights = Swingers

    14 grown-boys stumbled out of bed and made their way to The Alamo this morning to get their week started RIGHT! YHC was out of town last week and was feeling fat/lazy so the PAX was treated to some extra cardio. Here’s what went down…

    WARMARAMA – Moseyed over to the other end of the horseshoe for some stretching. SSH’s, DMH, Imperial Walkers, V-Sit (Shoutout to Meatball), Butterfly, Leg Pulls, Rosco’s Mom, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife.

    COP #1 – Tacky Light Run

    • The PAX ran through RounTrey stopping at each intersection for a called exercise. YHC stuck with QTY (7) for Notre Dame’s CFP seed. Go Irish!
    • Hit every muscle group along the way and gave Warby some great content on his security camera.
    • Most likely gave some RounTrey folks something to complain about on Facebook. Please communicate any/all riffraff to Nancy Lopez.

    COP #2 – Triple Check

    • Made the most of the remaining (6) minutes in the parking lot.
    • Pacer – To the dumpster and back
    • Exercise #1 – Carolina Dry Docks
    • Exercise #2 – LBC’s

  • Chasing Doozy

    Pretty sure this title has been used before, but it’s pretty much what happened. Doozy, Chaplain, and myself took the traditional Morning Wood trail loop for a couple miles before Doozy’s Pearl Harbor history lesson and beatdown.

  • Accidental Premature Accelerator

    Premature Acceleration got off to a solo start. YHC made it to Rockwood Park and reluctantly began some laps around the main loop. After 3 laps (about 2 miles) Chaplain, unknowingly arrived at 6, instead of his plan to arrive at 630. YHC was glad to have some company for a few more laps, and catch up with ol Chappy.

  • Whose Idea Was This?

    The B Dub Run Club was at again – getting some chilly miles in before Twin Team. We took our standard, non-hilly route up Robious and back. Lots of great conversation topics including a laser that can cure any ailment.

  • There’s More Than One Way To Milk a Cow

    6 strong gathered in the frigid darkness of Bettie Weaver Elementary. I forgot to set up the requested firepit and S’mores beforehand – my bad. At any rate, here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

  • SOJ Monthly Ruck

    3 HIMs braved the cold weather this week and met at Midlothian Middle School for this month’s ruck meetup (first Tuesday of every month, details posted in Slack).

    YHC lead the way, heading South from the school, looping around the new Library and into the Midlo Mines back entrance.
    completed the trail, headed across the street and around the lake. Reminiscing about Fandango’s apartment living, we hung a right at the cemetery and made our way BTTF.

    Chilly morning but wind was minimal and it was a great day to be outside. Coffee afterwards hit the spot.

  • is this a running AO?

    6 intrepid HIMs put on their running shoes and came out for the annual Satans Hill 5k “Hell on the Hill” run. Was that the plan? No, no it wasn’t, but that’s what fate decided.

    Warmaram kept our feet on the ground and butts off the cold pavement today. Series of SOJ favorites

    COT 1: go to entrance of New Market. Game plan was to run to first manhole cover, do 25 firecrackers and run back to the start. Next run to second manhole cover, do 50 Merkins and run back. 3rd manhole cover= 75 monkey humpers, 4th manhole cover = 100 double count mountain climbers

    first cover was over halfway up the hill. 3rd and 4th were well beyond the top of the hill. A warning was issued so the PAX remained in good spirits.

    COT 2: rock pile for triple check – curls, overhead, runner to entrance and back

    COT 3: Dora – 50 Merkins, 100 squats, 150 jump squats.

    announcements and circle up. Great work today everyone, YHC clocked us at almost to 3 miles
