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]

Group Legs

It was a wonderful morning at BIB. Started of with the usual warm up. Then did four corners in the parking lot. After which we ran 7 on the hills, running backwards up the hill.

The work out was group Q effort giving everyone a chance to call exercises

Come over the Hill Caroline

Preamble A couple of weeks ago Yoga Mat, the king of pre-blasts, put out the call that the FWD Q was open. Hey, why not. Well, except for the drive. But it is always good to visit the eastern regions of my former kingdom. YHC had no idea this day would come on the heels (see what I did there?) of my beloved Wolfpack’s brutal loss to the corrupt Chapel Hillians. [Read More]

HB2me

31! This has been some kind of week, so just like I did in my preparation I’m going to keep it brief. Mostly recycled my May the H8th workout from last year (thank you, longevity). 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]

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]

Thank you for your service....

It may seem like a a cliche that we have heard constantly since 9/11. Some think it’s overused, some people don’t even think twice about it, but to some, this thank you does have value. It has meaning. It is recognition of a young person’s decision to step up into the unknown, to see if they have what it takes to serve in the armed forces. There are many sacrafices made by our young men and woman that have made the decisions to step up and serve. [Read More]
