14 PAX showed up this morning outside NYBD. An easy out and back down Kildare toward Maynard with a little loop around kilmayne added a little extra mileage and pushed the group to get back in time for the COT! Conversation was had, PRs were set, and coffee was enjoyed. Excellent work all around!

Signups still open for the South Cary picnic. Prayers for Petey as he continues to show strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Prayers for the Qs extended family as they learn to forgive and embrace eachother through difficult times.

Praises to the group for continuing to show up and push each other daily.

MIAGD!

A few did a variety of ECs and subsequently 8 gathered at the flag to jumpstart the morning.

Mosey, a quick warmup and then to the one and only thang: BBB-LLL-III-MMM-PPP-SSS while hitting every single cul-de-sac in the Birklands neighborhood.

Minimum 5K was covered and a lot of sweat equity was spent. Great group of guys as always and thoroughly enjoyed it.

COT: SCary picnic, signup!!! Various prayers and praises mentioned and unmentioned.

MIAGD!!!

Eight set off to test my new watch. Headed to Ritter for some dips and erkins, up the road for some quick good mornings, then over to Harris teeter for the thang. 7s across the parking lot with merkins and pull ups on the cart returns. Couldn’t figure out my watch and started to worry about time so back to the flag. We got back with time to spare so a quick fly by of monkey humpers for the smelly billy strings fanatics already camped out at koko.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead. It’s been a great 2 years of fitness and I’m even coming to enjoy the fellowship!

Only two letters of the alphabet were needed this morning as our workout featured a whole lot of S’s and W’s and even more W’s.

Quick warmups featuring South Cary Stretches and an overview of the exercises to come.

We worked through those exercises at different parking lots, with the exercise names corresponding to the letters we were making in Strava art. Stifler’s mom’s, Star jumps, Squats, Side straddle hops. Worst merkins ever, WWl’s, WWII’s, War hammers, Wide grip merkins. Back to the flag for a set of Astro jacks because…..well, you know.

Of course the pax suspected something was up, but none could quite figure it out.

Many prayers were raised up. Announcements included Stations of the Cross at SWW on Friday, and the upcoming SCary picnic. No other representatives from any other events were present, so there’s probably nothing else going on. MIAGD.

Started off “promptly” at 0530. Warmup to the hill. Hill repeats with merkins at top and bottom. Indian run up the hill then around the lake and then up the hill to the parking lot, stopping for core exercises along the way. Made use of the “oval” for intervals at varying paces. There were some announcements too. MIAGD.

Traditional route here. Around the lake, up Kildare, down Tryon, up Cary Pkwy, down Lochmere Dr.

Topic of the day: accountability. What men in your life are you accountable to? What guard rails do you have in your life to keep you in line? What areas of your life do you need accountability? What guard rails would need to be put into place to protect you and your family?

We all have sin in our hearts, and nobody is immune to temptation. Whether it is fitness, spiritual, financial, porn, diet, anger, soft porn in your twitter feed, working too much and giving your family leftovers, the list goes on… Connect with another pax, be vulnerable and encourage the men around you.

Thank you men for being vulnerable and being willing to challenge me.

**Backblast: The Jordan Finals Tribute Workout**

*Date*: April 12, 2025
*Location*: Lochmere Parking Lot

On this fine day in the year of our Lord, 2025, a ruggedly handsome group of HIMS assembled to channel their inner “His Airness.” The workout paid homage to Michael Jordan’s NBA Finals flu performance—a legendary display of grit and determination.

With the silky rhythms of the *Space Jam* soundtrack to keep them in the zone, the men set out on a range of challenges that mirrored Jordan’s versatility:

1. **Shuttle Runs** – For that fast-break speed.
2. **Defensive Drills** – Hustling like MJ in his prime.
3. **Kettlebell Swings** – Building strength like a champ.
4. **Hill Runs** – Pushing through with Jordan-esque resilience.
5. **Rounds of Push-ups, Pull-ups, and Squats** – Because greatness demands reps.
6. **Layup Drills** – Some stayed in their lane; others showboated with long-distance shots.
7. **Final Feat**: A 250-yard car tow of a 2014 Ford Escape – because why not?

It was a performance worthy of the GOAT himself, with camaraderie and effort shining through every exercise.

**Announcements**:
– Check Slack for all the happenings this weekend.
– Haven’t signed up for the picnic? What are you waiting for?
– Highland Games are coming—don your kilts and show up in style!

**Inspirational Note**:
Life is a team sport, and we all need someone to lean on—just like MJ needed Pippen to conquer those legendary moments. Take a moment today to check on someone who might be in crisis or simply someone you haven’t heard from in a while. A small gesture can mean the world. Together, we can lift each other up and keep pushing forward.

**#NeverAlone #BeLegendary**
Great work today, gentlemen. Let’s keep hitting life like MJ hit those clutch shots.

Wasn’t entirely sure how this morning would go after rolling my ankle yesterday but it was a terrific morning in the gloom. At first I thought the cold had chased everyone off and we were going to have a small group but the pax poured out of the woodwork as the clock inched closer to 0530. Intro, disclaimer, pledge and off we mosey.

Long way around to the field for standard warm-ups then back behind the medical buildings for a….

Merkin pain train

The pax were overjoyed by the prospect of this, and the very detailed instructions YHC gave on how to execute said pain train. Lots of questioning about the necessity and wisdom of this choice but naturally that was just the pax’s way of expressing their gratitude. Once that was completed and those early finishing pax were fussed at for simply standing around waiting off we go to thang 2.

Four Corners of Mary in the 88 MPH lot, with rounds of V-Ups, Box Cutters, and Low Slow Flutters. Then off to thang 3 back at the field.

Partner up. Partner 1 calls an exercise and partner two does that AMRAP while P1 runs the small ramp pickle. Switch. After P1 and P2 complete AMRAP + Pickle, P2 gets to call an exercise for the next round. Some masochistic pax called merkins as one of their choices….. Lots of mumblechatter and concern about time and getting back to the flag by several pax including two overly concerned site Qs. After round 4 we moseyed back for an expertly time HAND.

SIGN UP FOR THE PICNIC (and the Highland Games).

9 Stallions charged a classic JDI route. Complaints about the Guide were made by some. Good times were had by all. MIAGD!
