ALARMing

We were all headed out for milk and bread to get us through the Blizzard of 2020, but 14 detoured to Back in Black, hopefully the Ms and 2.0s understand. No FNGs present, the pledge was said, with meaning, and we mosey’d to a parking lot for warmups… Warmups: SSH, Merkins, Plank Jacks and Good Morning Partner Catch Me if You Can…5 burpees by partner 1 as partner 2 headed out towards Tryon Road…I hope the PAX each had the pleasure of at least three sets of burpees.

Living 3rd

There was a PAX named Box who was also present. This was my third Q and no where near the anxiety. So much more fun. So… With No FNGs present, our great flag flapped to our Pledge and off we went in a slow jog. Mumble chatter was immediate, as expected and got me to thinking about Burp & Merks. Unexpectedly for all we stopped for a few on our way to warmup. [Read More]

Peace at SWW / Crazy sheet abroad

YHC loves his annual (less if it can be avoided) trips to AOs below Route 1 but the Friday ones are doubly special. Once a DZ’er, always a DZ’er after all. But with the holiday-ish week upon us and the 2.0s not yet in school, tis the time to commit to a 20+ minute commute and see how the other half lives. And boy is it a different world down here in Car-ner Springs. [Read More]

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]

Release The Hounds

16 for the main event and 8 for the pre-run on what started out as a pretty normal Monday morning - 40ish degrees in December, a plan to cover some ground with a few exercises thrown in, and Burt yelling my hospital name before we even left the parking lot. But we eventually got into the Regency neighborhood where someone released their pair of attack dogs as we were doing hill repeats in front of their driveway. [Read More]
