12 men joined me for a journey. A journey that went around and back again. There were trials, there were foes, and there were many manholes.

Pledge, mosey to cul-de-sac for warmup where I got reprimanded for my enthusiasm for the side straddle hop. Mosey to the Greenway for 7s of LBC and heels to heaven. Then continued on the journey with indian run. Paused in cul-de-sac to make sure we all made it. Then down into the depths of Lochmere.l golf course Greenway. 20 pushups at each manhole=100 total. Round the way and back up to the flag with star jumps and some fellowship on the way.

Good work men! Honored to lead.

PAX (not in Slack): Yogi
FNGs: Dookie
COUNT: 16

16 HIMs for the best 33 minute workout of the day!

Yogi had the Q and started off with a speech. Then out we went for a big lap around the church back to the southwest portico for warm-ups. Back to the flag for the thang.

The thang was 11s with burpees and squats…including a longer than necessary explanation of 11s so Term Paper could understand.

After that was completed at 0605, we circled up expecting extended Mary…but got extended COT instead. Captain Jack should be proud as COT concluded right at 0615.

We welcomed FNG Dookie to the fold. Shout out to Monday FNG Bobby Hull for completing a Yogi 3 pack on his first week!

AMBRR, 9/11 stair climb, praises for Yogis 8 year anniversary, prayers for Jax. MIAGD, gents.

10 for Yogi’s Anvil and 6 stretching bros including one that had to make up some ground. We learned a lot about Bubba’s Carbon Footprint as Yogi’s 8 yr 5 pack continues. If you ever wondered if a bear shits in the woods, I don’t know the answer, but I do know that they use the ports-John’s in the Waverly Parking lot. Prayers for all the runners this weekend.

Nice cool morning for our Saturday AO. Started the day off shaking off the VQ jitters by waking up ahead of the alarm bell and arriving early. Did a solidarity partial EC with HGTV himself before getting the ME underway.

After the pledge, we limbered up with some dynamic stretching and did some Vinyasa Yoga with some cycles through runner and warrior poses.

We did some circuits with the infamous lock n load pain sticks as follows.
Round 1 – squatsx10 and calf raisesx20
Mosey lap
Round 2 – Americansx10, crunchesx20
Mosey lap
Round 3 – tricep extensionsx10, curlsx20
Mosey lap
Round 4 – upright rowsx10, bent over rowsx20
Mosey lap
Rinse and Repeat

Saved the last 10 minutes for a bit more yoga and a circle of popcorn Mary.
Announcements: AMBRR is coming up in 2 weeks so respect to all you participating. Have a great day gentlemen!

Nice cool morning at SW. 15 bootcampers and 2 walk broz.

At warm-ups, the pax were given a choice between heading south for more exercises or east for more running. The pax were split so YHC decided to head east for the adventure of a lifetime!

We headed out for merkins/squats on a string up Jones Franklin and down Tryon to the Bryarton Village townhouses to cross the bridge into YHC’s (and Spayed, Olsen, and OTW’s) old neighborhood. Apparently that bridge has been closed for years and is structurally unstable. We did not let this stop us and found a way…and can confirm it is unstable. Stopped at Olsen’s house for monkey humpers to check a box. Moseyed on to silver lake neighborhood for our next problem. A fence with a no trespassing sign did not deter YHC, but being unable to get the gate open did. Fortunately another route was found and we made it to and around the lake. Then back to Tryon for the jaunt back home with monkey humpers and squats/merkins along the way. Grateful for the Pax pushing through…though some lamented the option chosen and pined for the southern workout that could have been. Always enjoy leading this group and doing something new.

Did y’all hear the AMBRR is coming up? Prayers for Jax and DEET. MIAGD, gents.

I was not exactly sure what my plan would be but I decided to see how many showed and wing it from there. Mosey began with chatter about pace and headlamps. A standard warmup at a bank. Over to the top lot for 4 corners. Merkins/Squats/lbc/Burpee
5/5/5/5
10/5/5/5
10/10/5/5
10/10/10/5
Recover and mosey to the bottom medical lot/hills. 7’s on the first hill diamond merkins/heels to heaven. Backwards run/sprints on the other hill. Sprints in the connecting lot. Mosey back to the flag for some CORE as requested by Bubba. Popcorn style until 0614 HAND! Greenbow showed up for COT and coffee.

I had to remind myself this morning that we may not always feel up to leading at an AO, at work or even at home. However, F3 has made leading and facing challenges a much easier and repeatable task. I could have stayed in bed or bowed out last minute but I signed up to lead and 14 men showed up to join me. MIAGD!

18 HIM’s got after it this am. The morning was filled with Merkins, LBC’s Low Slow Fluters, WWll’s and everyone’s favorite Star Jumps. Over 2.5 miles was achieved. Prayers for all the kids going back to school and remember we have the AMBRR coming up on the 9/7 and Shark Nado this Thursday at BIB. MIAGD

The Tour-De-Sac took us to an area typically not traveled. After some comments about my counting, we moseyed down Lilly Atkins and visited a series of cul de sacs with workouts at each one. We finished with a visit to HGTV’s future home now that he is an empty nester and ready to downsize. Big ups to @Frazier to bringing out an FNG, Mall Walker. MIAGD!
