Lets see what sticks...

YHC had not Q’d since we sent the guys to Peru so I was long overdue. A cool and clear spring morning brought strong numbers out to Salem Elementary. EC guys rolled in with a minute to spare and after a piecemeal disclaimer we began. Warm Up Good Mornings Windmills Sixty Second Arm Circles (Check out the exicon, I think I did them justice but confusion ensued!) Sprinkler (Another exicon gem, looked more like a Heisman pose or awkward prom dance move) [Read More]

I Did It All For The Q-zie

16 PAX fought off the post-Murph fartsack at Full Metal Jacket this morning, greeted by warm air and a beautiful sunrise. YHC pulled into the lot right at 0529 and promptly gave the “one minute” warning. My mind swam as I tried to figure out what to do next. You see, the night before, I learned I was Q-ing via slack. This isn’t the first time this has happened (and certainly won’t be the last), but as I looked around the PAX, I noticed a few unfamiliar faces and I didn’t want to disappoint. [Read More]

I will not leave you

Men, Two years ago today I showed up in the F3 Carpex Gloom at the invite of my fraternity brother, Jamie “Repeato” Roseborough. I had been back in North Carolina for about eight months and things were going well. I was getting in workouts about three days a week in the gym and crushing a strong 2-3 mile solo run on the weekend. Things were fine, right? Wrong. Something was still missing, and as they say, you now know the rest of the story. [Read More]

1-2-3-4

Pre-Blast 18 HIM for 3.04 miles and a big, dripping heaped-up triple scoop of vanilla at FMJ. Burt was not there. Dredd was not there either. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag. Run across the street to the church for extended Paint the Lines. Circle up for: 21 Victory Burpees. The Thang Run back across the street. Partner up. Dora 1-2-3-4: while Partner 1 runs three light poles away, Partner 2 begins to perform 100 Burpees, 200 Pull-ups, 300 Squats, 400 LBCs. [Read More]

Weird Stuff

Callahan put out the call for a substitute… and you KNOW I can’t resist the chance to Mr. Garvey a workout. I promised Prodigal on Slack that I wouldn’t do weird stuff, but then I looked in the mirror. Time for an exicon deep-dive. FNG Check - Disclaimer - Fair Warning on weird stuff - Let’s Go Lap around the parking lot. Circle up for Finkle Swings. Lap around the parking lot. [Read More]

Just Getting Started!

After some debate on which parking lot we should circle up in we stuck with the standard operating procedure for SWW. After a delivery of the disclosures to our FNG we moseyed over to the back parking lot for some warm-up. SSH x 20 Sir Fazio Forward x 11 Sir Fazio Backward x 11 Seal Clap x 11 Merkins x 15 Calf Stretch Thang 1 Next, YHC had the PAX mosey to the Baseball Field and line up facing the outfield/infield from the 3rd base line.

Woke Up Without a Plan

When I announced what we were doing this morning I was accused of waking up without a plan. Not true, I knew two weeks ago I was borrowing this workout from Banjo. If it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for me. Warm-Up Mosey down the road by the pond and circle up for side straddle hops, hillbillies, cotton pickers, and because no one except Old Maid was counting loud enough for YHC to hear, 10 burpees OYO.

The Regency Islands

Drew the Back in Black Q for the second time in its short history, and I didn’t quite get to do what I had planned the first time… so after a deeper recon dive, let’s hit it. 8 HIM gathered after the flag, and after a site-Q recommended disclaimer, off we go for a quick lap around the lot enter the Symphony Lake greenway, but then turn left back toward the road cross the street using the crosswalk and circle up in the lot for GM/IW/CP/SM Thang 1 - PARTNER UP!

EH Your M

Your right. It had nothing to do with the 1stF this morning which is generally the purpose of a BB but from where I stood this morning it was the most significant thing I said. We spend our mornings pouring into ourselves and each other by way of strength building, creating comradery and lifting each other’s concerns up and we do it in the name of being better men, husbands and community leaders.
