A Flock of Seagulls and a Bigger Pickle

When Yoga Mat invokes Flock of Seagulls and Monty Python in the pre-blast everyone knows that the actual workout will never live up. But we’re all here so let’s give it a shot. We have an FNG so a full disclaimer and mission statement are delivered. The Pledge and we’re off. Warmup: Mosey a while and end up in a well lit parking lot within sight of our friends at Crossfit: [Read More]

I'm available

God Bless Yoga Mat for many reasons, but two stand out: He writes the best got danged pre-blasts and Q-hypes in the biznass. If the Q spot is open, he makes sure the Pax know, and thus YHC was able to jump on it for this week, and pumped to do so, two boots. The pax assembled, 18 deep with unseasonably warm temps… dang near 62 degrees when I tell that gurl please. [Read More]

5 Years............and Counting

Hit the PAX with a challenge to post at Kryptonite on the Slacks. And a special request to the 8 other Pax that attended my first workout, 7 of the 8 were there (Burt - Q, Wonderbread, Denali, Hotspot, Michelob, Franklin, and MaBell). Surcharge was unable to make it, although I am not sure he received my request. Anyways, 27 total showed up to see if I learned anything in the past 5 years…………. [Read More]

Blair Witch Project, DQ and Merlot - 11/18/19 - Kryptonite

Hello Kitty and YHC did an EC scouting run. 15 were present at 5:30, a brief disclaimer was disclaimed and follow me.. The Warmup: Jog up Regency Parkway, make a right into the gravel driveway into the woods. Circle up in the power line right of way for some warm-up activities. The Thang: Jog into the woods behind the little cell tower thing and find the trail. [Read More]

HB2me

Here’s what we did this time: FNG Check / F3 Mission Statement / FOLLOW ME into the park Quick figure 8 through the playground, and back to the inner lot for: GM // SSH // TT // 31SM [Read More]

Wilt and Copperhead Dora

YHC had a great beatdown planned for Back in Black this week. Unfortunately my good buddy Yoga Mat did most of it during his Respect Week Q last week. Went back to the drawing board and came up with this. Warm-Up Disclaimer and Pledge, then mosey over to the Koka Booth entrance for three rounds of quick feet and irkens, then to the bottom of the hill and circle up for cherry pickers, Steve Earles, arm twirlies, seal claps and copperhead merkins.

Do it for the Coffee

It was a chilly below freezing morning, so my overarching goal was to keep the PAX moving (warm) without collapsing from exhaustion (me). A delicate balance to be sure. No FNG’s as I start the disclaimer. Then stop the disclaimer as Augmented wheels into the parking lot. Then start the disclaimer *again*. Mosey to the flag, do the Pledge, and leave the small parking lot in favor of the big parking lot.

FWD Old Fogey Q

11/12/19 Flirting with Disaster It’s Respect week. So it means YHC set aside his walker and came out to teach some whippersnappers what happens in the dark, wet, woods. Warm-ups After a short run around the pickle, we circled up for some side straddle hops, good mornings, merkins and mountain climbers. Then it was time to run into the dark, dark woods. We ran to the junction for some exercise I can no longer remember since I was out of breath at the time. [Read More]
