What a great way to kick of a Friday. We started out with six PAX and after the pledge nature called one of them so the remaining five headed out for beatdown. YHC executed his standard Thangs which included four corners (6 or 7 rounds varying exercises each round). Hill repeats with ascending squats (5, 10,15,20,25,30) and lastly level out and backs with ascending shoulder taps (left/right = 1 same rep count as squat). We headed back to the flag stopping for dips and urkins. Finished up with plank/chill cut until all the runners got in then HAND.

A little moist this morning, but all in all, great weather and better fellowship.

It’s always an honor to lead. I appreciate all of you.

MIAGD!!!

I ended my vacation early when I saw that the Q spot was open; Abruptly leaving my wife and daughter in paradise, i overspent and inconvenienced myself to get to Ritter Park on Friday morning. 3 boot campers were there and apparently 11 runners, if my math is correct
-First exercise: Wash and wax my truck; This thing aint gonna stay clean by itself; being out of the country all week, there was enough pollen to keep the PAX busy for a view minutes. We waxed on, Karate Kid style, until the sheen was acceptable, then we moved on

-Next up , we moseyed to my house; I needed to get rid of these geese, once and for all; i instructed the PAX to chase down and exterminate by any means; Boy, did they; you should see the look on HGTV’s face with his hands around the neck of those geese.
-Running out of time, we headed back to the flag, losing Yogi and that old guy along the way. I only recall hearing “Come get you some” slowly fading away somewhere around the lake.
-Great work this morning but i had to get back to my vacation; i’ll be sipping Mai Tais while you suckers read this. Thanks for your help this morning though. MIAGD

Have you ever crumbled under pressure? Do you feel that you have ever disappointed God? Today we walked through the story of Peter after being a faithful disciple alongside Jesus for two years, Peter finds himself denying that he even knows him. Only days later, Jesus resurrected, walked on water over to Peter‘s boat. Can you imagine the regret that Peter was feeling? However, instead of Jesus‘s disappointment with Peter, he recommissioned him and gives Peter grace! Today was a reminder that each of us can stumble, but God will always be there for us!

Site Qs along with the flag were on spring break. We started out with jog down the greenway Indian run style. Next we ran up the hills and under the Kildaire bridge with merkins at the top of each side.

Mosey to Ritter Park for some abs and arms. A few pull-ups there as well.

8 mins left and a mile from the location the flag is typically posted so hustle back for a have a nice day.

Coffee was not had but pollen washing is needed. Astro did not attend.

What a great morning at Waverly Place! We had multiple EC options and a strong running contingent during the main event.

After the AO Inspection EC by me and Hallmark, 11 PAX returned via a pearls on a very long string through some parking lots to Ritter Park where we spent about 5 minutes doing curb irkins and pull ups. Quick wave to the Hulkamania PAX and we set off on our return journey via Loch Lomond and the tent-guy-cut-through back to Waverly. Some ambitious exercises at the high ledge by the fountains, featuring the ‘half time’ ALRSUs. Back to the flag just in time. Rejoined with the 12 runners for COT.

It was a last second Q pickup, but I was glad for the opportunity to lead. MIAGD!

4 Greater Carpex HIMs joined our brothers of F3 Raleigh. After a quick warm up, we split into 3 groups of 4. Carpex was segregated into our own group and YHC felt like a Beige Bro for 75 glorious minutes!

SACRIFICE, differentiating between “self” and doing it out of love for others; how sacrifice relates to core male values; how the concept or meaning of it changes over course one’s life, different stages; societal/familial/personal obstacles for men to be better at sacrifice…..all present engaged, sharing. Incredible experience. Appreciate @flounder as it was his first escalator experience and hope goes back for more.

Run bros did their thing and 7 HIMs did SB’25 boot camp.

With spring break on the horizon I took the lead and helped these HIMs earn extra calories in the form of future miller lights.

Started with pledge, warmups and a mile mosey. After that we never stopped moving.

Did some 7’s and stair work to get the blood flowing.

Thang 2 was the DE-motivator. 4 exercises in sequence starting at 10 ending at 1. Started with Rocky’s Dog (curb toe taps), high knees, tuck jumps, and squats. The HIMS loved this one!

After talking about how great thang 2 was we headed back to the flag. Doing 3 burpees at each light post.

Got back to the flag for two more motivators! Completed the normal motivator of SSH’s and attempted an all abs variation. We’ll get better at it!

Boot camp is back! Enjoy those beers over SB’25 fellas!

Remember Highland games and picnic in April!

1 RC’er and 1 WC’er and 13 boots. The idea I had when I pulled up was triple nickels, but the where was not set. Pledge and off we go. Exited the park to the left on a whim and stopped after some uphill running for a warmup/stretch.

Mosey to the stairs/deck for Triple Nickels. Merkins at the bottom, Nantan Jump Squats in the middle, French Burpees at the top of the deck. 5-7 rounds were completed.

Mosey to the most pristine parking lot in SCary for some partial Dora partner work. 60/120/180 with a pickle up the hidden ramp.

We had time so we did a partner out and back in the lot with 80%+ OTW back in.

Finally back through the woods towards the flag. A few Mary calls and HAND!

TCP Sawgrass tomorrow, HG shirt order nearing the end (2 days), HG25 4/19, Picnic 4/27. MIAGD!

6 to kickoff my 6 years week. I had this idea since our MOAB Q in January. However the kettlebell mile was an added twist

Started off with a kettlebell mile and it was a fun as advertised. We finished it in just under an 11:30 pace according to Strava but my watch said 11:10 when it beeped at 1 mile. I’ll take it! Strong work by all.

Next I explained the 2nd thang. Impossible Mile training.
1/8 mile burpee broad jump then recovery run to start
1/8 mile lunge walk then recovery run
1/8 mile bear crawl then recovery run
1/4 mile faster paced run

We recovered to grab our bells and run them back to the flag. In honor of Nabs and Mayflower we did 10 merkins then some Freddy Mercurys to wrap it up.

Thanks for pushing it and joining in on a different style of beatdown. MIAGD!
