11 early risers, including 1 FNG embraced the soupy conditions of the Twin Team Lounge to pay respects to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 along with homage to the AO namesake. No gloves were required while 3 earlier birds added on some extra credit preworkout. After all parking lot signs had been properly hit, we were off.

Mosey to the base of Twin Team Hill for salutations and disclaimers. In conversation warm ups included Helis, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang, LBC’s and some other items that I dont recall. Slow mosey/wosey up twin team hill stopping at various times for 9 merkins and 11 WWII’s. Small mutiny was called by some to climax the tips of Twin Team Hill without exercises. This band was warmly embraced by the PAX upon their return 1/2 up the hill. Midclimb, YHC had enough of the humid conditions so we turn around and wosey back down to the culdesac.

Mosey into the woods path to the 2nd school entrance and make our way to the playground equipment. Triple Check was called. Timer runs to the basketball hoop, exercises were Hanging V-ups and Lt. Dans. Mosey to the blacktop for a quick 4 corners. 10 merkins, 20 LBC’s, 30 SSH’s, 40 APD’s.

BTTVF for numbers, names announcements, prayers. Ruck at Alamo tonight. See slack. Prayers in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks. We all recall where we were 25 years ago, pay homage as you see fit. YHC took us out.

NMS: Great turnout for a smoky lounge this morning. After missing last week, YHC needed the comradery and mumble chatter that makes this AO so great. On the semi summit to Twin Team, some of the PAX, including YHC found a fire ant pile or something irritating that continuously bit the rest of the beatdown. Not fun.

Great to welcome David (aka Mr. Wonderful) from Tarrington into the group. After numerous pokes and prods by various PAX, nothing embarrassing could be discovered about our newest Lounger, aside from being a Buckeye fan. Coffee and conversation that followed was on point as usual. Thank you fellas for the opportunity to lead this morning. Always the best part of the weekly gloom.

With one PAX nursing a knee injury and our barista dealing with some sort of building issues, 3 PAX set out to explore the AO but did not get very far. Warm up in front of the school, over to the benches for conversational bench work. Multiple rounds of step ups, declines, inclines, dips, bench kicks, Freddies, Bulgarians interspersed with laps around the pick up loop.

Mosey to the pickleball court for a variety of Mary among other things.

Safe travels to those on the road this holiday weekend.

Thanks to Doozy for stepping in on the coffee this am after an early morning call out from Last Call.

Final Thoughts: Strong work by the PAX this morning. Burpees raised the eyebrows of Lounge Management, but we were able to make it work. OC powered through an ultimate frisbee injury. DK posted for the 3rd consecutive day. Boberry was doing hill repeats on Twin Team prior to the workout – ridiculous. I enjoyed leading!

SYITG

6 warriors greeted the day to get out and get after it in the BWES parking lot. YHC had plans to lead the PAX on a slow mosey to the new apartment to do a couple dips in the little workout room we have but after considering the mosey at 1.5 miles one way, YHC audibled to a more traditional lounge style workout with some good stretches. No burpees and no cadence where had.

NMS:

After coffee YHC wanted to pray over my new friend at the school, Mrs. Lulu. Mrs Lulu is a fantastic example of strength and courage under enormous life BS. She is working two jobs and has blood cancer but as YHC and Last Call stood there talking to her she had more joy and excitement about what’s next for her in life. She is stronger and better than I…..

6 PAX met at the Twin Team Lounge a this past Friday. Were lounge rules upheld properly? Was there a mutiny? YHC had the Q, and Lounge Charter member and drafter of the by-laws Last Call was not there. Given that, all bets were off.

Started with a mosey to the reccently re-paved lower level parking lot for COP Warmerama with cadence done by YHC but mostly not by the PAX.

Then a trip past the track to the endzone of “The Swamp, at The Lounge, at Twin Team”. Call of the day was a choose your own adventure Lounge-y Beast. Each PAX choose an exercise including Merkins, Squats, Monkey Humpers, and “Lunge for a bit, then run for a bit”.

Filled time after that with some long 11s which tempted a mutiny, but it was not enacted.

Shoutout to Doozy for bringing the coffee and accouterments.

Thanks for letting me lead, have a good one!

5 Twin Team regulars enjoyed the ideal conditions for an open Q at the Lounge. All arrived in their fashionable best, one topless. Here is how things occurred.

OC got things started with an epic warmarama. Intense exercises were only matched by tales of vacation topics. 4 corners of various routines were then called.

Rosie took over the Q with an emphasis on upper body.

Rodeo Clown put in the cardio with track work.

YHC finished off with a 4 corner repeat followed by a wosey to inspect Rodeo Clowns ride.

Numbers, Names, Prayers and Announcements. Coffee was served and comradery followed.

Homegrown Half Marathon tomorrow at Robious Landing 6 am start. See slack for other events.

NMS: Good times were enjoyed by all. Highlight was Rodeo Clowns 64 1/2 restored Mustang. Nice looking whip. Well done today fellas.

4 Southsiders went on a recon mission to try out the new pavement in the JRHS student parking lot. The County must have heard complaints from the PAX in recent months about the condition of the pavement and got it fixed. Next up, turf fields.

Lounge was the theme requested and delivered – run to the parking lot, warm up in conversation. Some 4 corners with some bonus Mary and HRMs on the new pavement. Running, bench work, run, COP, run, wall work, other stuff, end with some lounge worthy stretching.

Last Call’s barista game is still solid.

Homegrown Half 8/1 – Robious Landing Park – Route TBD but plan for heat and a hill or two.

A pair of loungey VIP’s embraced the velvet like humidity for an epic beatdown of mythical proportions. Intensity was on high demand by the Pax and YHC humbly obliged.

Here is how things went down according to YHC’s delusional memory. 11’s from the river to Twin Team Hill in dead sprint with burpees at both ends, because why not. Bear Crawl up Twin Team and crab walk down to work a bit of the upper body. Time was up after 4 rounds so quick mosey back to the flag.

Raw eggs and heavy mixture of creatine were consumed in place of coffee, just to get the energy levels up.

This may or may not have happened but it was great to catch up with Chaplain to solve all the worlds problems. Well done today, enjoy your well earned vacation.
