No Fooling Around

23 Fools helped YHC celebrate 43 years. Following the welcome, disclaimer, and pledge we warmed up the hammies with some high kicks, butt kickers, and imperial walkers. We proceeded to Mosey with Bruisers continuing the butt kickers and high knees and runners taking a stroll around the new coffeteria location in Amberly. THANG 1: We warmed up with a series of exercises and stretches to get us ready for 7s on the hill with Copperhead Merkins at the top and monkey humpers at the bottom. [Read More]

Decades Day 3: FOD 60's

YHC’s anniversary tour continues at Field of Dreams. Theme today is ‘60’s. Fantastic playlist in queue plus this is usually a well-attended AO, so especially excited for this one and arrived 30 min early to reacquaint myself to the site. Overflow had his earbuds in expecting a solo EC - he ended up joining YHC along with Sunshine and PBX for a couple miles - great mumblechatter as to be expected with 75% Steves. [Read More]

Operating Heavy Machinery

Having been thinking about having some fun at an AO for a while and decided MASH would be the ideal place to give it a shot. Had I known how many peeps we’d have, I would have recruited a second! Arrived a few minutes early. Unfortunately not early enough as I was maybe 15 seconds too late to give Pivot a good scare by blasting my horn as he ran by. [Read More]

Slow and Low, That is the Tem-po

AO: M.A.S.H. Workout Date: 06/18/21 I’ve spent way too much time trying to find some M.A.S.H.-related themes for this backblast, and sorry, boys, it ain’t happening. This is my fourth Q of the week, and M.A.S.H.’s late start (on a Friday!) was right up my alley this morning. I set my alarm for thirty minutes later and still moved it another thirty minutes when I woke in the middle of the night. [Read More]

An(Un)limited MASH Run?

Dang it. It’s 4:45am and I’m awake. With 75 mins to kill before the the 6am start time of over at MASH I’m torn on what to do. Who am I kidding, no I’m not! I get up, get dressed and head over to the AO for a lil 1.5EC. Some time passes and 14 other HIM show up and join me for some fun stuff… starting with the disclaimer (1 FNG) and the Pledge [Read More]

Green wave at FOD...

Great morning at FOD – always a good crowd and fun men to be with! But holy crap the site-q’s are doing a terrible job keeping the pollen down…. couple of times it was tough to get the cadence out with a headfull of green dust. That however, did not slow down this fine crew of men! Here’s what happened according to my recollection… gather at the flag (someone mentioned it’s a bit short, but that’s not everything in life, right? [Read More]

Why Did This Take So Long?

Today is Wednesday, March 17. St. Patrick’s Day. I led fine men in a workout at MASH on Friday, March 12. I’m just now writing the backblast, and I have no reason why I took this long to do it. However, I’m not going to apologize. I’ll just strive to do better next time. Warm Up Easy to remember since most of my warm-ups are basically the same. We took a mosey lap around the parking lot after the Pledge, then circled up for SSHs, Sir Fazio arm circles, Steve Earles, Plank Jacks, Merkins, Runners stretch and Pigeon stretch. [Read More]

Not Welcome Here

17 PAX gather in the brisk cool morning for a traveling Earhart workout. Good too see a mix of Apex and West Cary HIM to help YHC through a new workout in a new location. Gather the PAX at the flag for a pledge then start with walking down the path, high knees and butt kickers; with advancing age trying to start out a workout with a little warm for the warm.

Good teams set standards and goals, GREAT TEAMS are accountable for results

Mosey to Sweetwater and back with stops in route to do the following, P1 number reps first exercise while P2 continues second exercise, flapjac number X. Burpees/Low plank hold - 5 reps 4x Star jumps/Low Squat hold - 20 reps 4x [Read More]

Time can sneak up quick if fun is to be had

AO: Mash Date: 8/14/20 PAX: Beaker, Bolt On, Dirty Bomb, Five Hole, Greenbow, Kidney Stone, Pom Pom, WWW, So glad Dirty Bomb and Five Hope reached out to me because it slipped my memory that I had the Mash Q. However, I’m always ready to Q anytime, any place, anywhere. I got to the AO early to develop a workout while I wait for the PAX to arrive. 0600 start. Asked the PAX to recite the F3 Mission and it was not correct … merkins on YHC’s down. [Read More]
