Old School

A perfect 10 showed up on the coldest morning of the year. Warm-Up Mosey to the bottom lot for warm-up, including Sir Fazio arm circles, done Clockwork style, and a few burpees to calm the chatter. The Thang Mosey across the street to the little hill for sevens, burpees at the bottom, bear crawl up, jump squats at the top, mosey back down. Mosey back across the street to the picnic tables for Dora. [Read More]

That's Ten Enough

We had 18 PAX gather this morning at Tortoises to celebrate my 4 year F3 anniversary. I’m not sure if many of them were there to support me or if it was the fact that is was pouring rain yesterday and its going to be chilly with light snow tomorrow. 45 degrees with heavy mumblechatter. With 5:30 approaching, we started with the Pledge. Its a great way to start the day, and an even better way to get everyones attention. [Read More]

FOD Old Timers Club

You know what we did and all of you are old timers as Beaker noted in Slack. Those that didn’t attend don’t need to know the details, but here is a summary: 4 corners throughout the park. Run, chest and shoulders, run, core, run, legs, run, practice what we learned. NMS Only Beaker kept this from being 100% respect Franklin convinced me to get there early to start with FOD run club and get in a 2-mile EC before the workout. [Read More]

Sevens Three Ways

Site Q Sooey had promised 57 degrees this morning, and he was off by about 13 degrees, so 13 vets and 1 FNG had to deal with an Angry Duck Warm-Up Mosey to the Christmas tree in beautiful downtown Apex and circle up for a few warm-up exercises, including Good Mornings from Crimson. The Thang Mosey around the corner to the T-intersection next to the Methodist church and split into three groups. [Read More]

HONORed

It was a cold December day, just above freezing, when I pulled into the parking lot of Cornerstone Fellowship Church in Apex. A few PAX were in their vehicles keeping warm, a few out moving around the parking lot doing I know not what. The kettle bells were not out of their container yet, so with TrackStar’s help we pulled more than enough bells out for the 11 PAX that came out to join me in the gloom. [Read More]

Playing The Classic Hits

Back to Tortoise, where it all started. At the church formerly known as Sovereign Grace, YHC runs the 1.8 miles in early to get some pull-ups. Very soon, PAX started to arrive and gather ‘round the flag. It’s a cold, sleevy morning in the POGL. Even Ma Bell has the pythons covered for this 27 degree workout. First exercise, Pledge of Allegiance. Warm Up Lap around the parking lot, circle up for SSHs, Sir Fazio arm circles, Steve Earles, a single Good Morning led by Crimson, Grundle stretch and calf stretch. [Read More]

Always On Time

13 men and 1 dog showed up to a flagless Claymore, but pledge allegiance to an imaginary flag and got to work. Warm-Up Mosey to the left side of the lot and circle up for various warm-up exercises, including imperial walkers (because we’re in Cary) and excluding hillbillies (because we’re not in Apex). Explain Wildcard, every time Crimson says “Wildcard!” we do five burpees. The Thang Mosey over to the tennis courts, count off 1s and 2s. [Read More]

Almost Official

7 PAX joined YHC for the soft launch of the first official Saturday AO in Apex! It was a bit chilly, fall is definitely coming soon. At 6:30 we were off towards the flag pole since we didn’t have our shovel flag ready. After a short mosey, disclaimers, and pledge we were ready to roll! Warm Up: Mosey over to the baseball field parking lot for: SSH Good Morning (Crimson style, best comedy routine of the morning) Windmills Merkinis (10 OYO) Mountain Climbers Imperial Walkers Things 1: [Read More]

Once more unto the breach

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; For here at A-team were we once infected. Twas but a week (maybe more) ago whence we learned Of the ill-will brought upon us by a virus from lands afar. This morn was no celebration. No anniversary. It was merely an opportunity to Q - Nay, to Lead! For A-team is an OG site. One of the first. And such is the spirit of A-team that one must show [Read More]

Herding Cats for COT

Big crowd mulling around outside the gates. One FNG – disclaimer given. Pledge and we are off. Mosey through some parking lots followed by a few traditional warm up exercises. Head to the lot near the shelters for some pickle partner lunge, run, HRM circuits Shelter for 11’s with Dips and Irkins Crimson suggests heading to powerline hill to find Chewie and Bootlegger Run to crosswalk doing 3,6,9, 12…24 monkey humpers at each lightpole [Read More]
