Together with my 88 MPH friends Jamie W., Thomas P., BJ M., Lucas P., Surinder D., and Matt O. , we all seemed to have a great time in the gloom and pollen as we enjoyed exercises mostly designed to get the PAX’s face directly to the pavement for maximum pollen inhalation. Some fast food warmups, then 7 of diamonds, on to stair & wall work, got some burpees included, teabags, calf raises. Ended with kettle bell squat-potato to low pulsing squats, then back for more. Some mary and done. After discussing DOGE’s effectiveness, budgets and audits I’m pretty sure we passed our local audit at 88 this morning. Just ask our cross regional traveling peace pipe toting voyeur Cheap Trick. Tclaps to this HIM for making the trip today. Only he and one other (take a guess) took in the pipe.

Loch n Load had great energy this morning as we all came together to get some fitness in our own ways on this fine Saturday morning. 12 bootcampers, 4 Accelerators, 3 ruckers, 1 Ocho’er, and a partridge in a pear tree.

YHC led the feisty bootcamp crew with the mission, disclaimer, pledge and then mosey to the dock for a quick warmup. Then we crossed the street and went down to the bottom of the hill where we found……THE WHEEL OF PAIN!!! How did that get there? Not sure, but it was looking extra Painful this morning.

We took turns spinning the Wheel and went through the exercises, which included:
– Run up the hill and do 30 each of dips, derkins, and irkins
– 40 WWI’s
– 20 pull-ups
– 10 burpees and run the pickle
– 50 merkins
– 50 L/R LBC’s and run the pickle
– Crawl bear up the hill
– And back to home base to finish with the last one, which was bear crawl pickle and all you got back to the flag.

Only about 2 miles covered, but we were sufficiently cooked by the end. Good to see Sanka coming out on a regular basis and was good to meet O.R. for this first time, with this being his second post. We’ve got a good thing going here, and it’s great to see it growing. Also special thanks to our new LnL site Q’s Jigglypuff and Morpheus for their top-notch performance their first week on the job. MIAGD.

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!

MIAGD!!!

With FNG Phillip present I was able to belt out our Mission but got help with the core 5 as we started our mosey. No pumpkins today. It would have been very unseasonal. Was trying to be tricky but the PAX saw right through it. Remarkable the memory of the PAX. Glad for the early leadership of our new FNG who reminded me of the FrogUp exercise (bottom of a burpee). We continued accelerating through a 10-cone street workout. Lots of other exercises, I can’t remember any except the burpees. But we did inflate each exercise for 55 by the 10th cone, an age I’m fast approaching, I think soon. Thankful for the leadership and memory triggers of other PAX like Water Wings who really has a ‘thing’ for left vs right; and of OTW for reminding me time does not stop for Q; and of our new FNG Phillip properly named OR. BTW – he’s a long time Cary-ite, a respect, and he’s not buddies with Enhancements. He was brought out today by Big Red and our visiting F3 Raleigh brother Vortex. They’ve been working on him for a year. Welcome OR! Did you know that Loch n Load is a Saturday….oops.

PS. After some delicate investigation this week HG has learned some of the inside workings of the upcoming Highland Game. Although sworn to secrecy I think it’s safe to say a few words about it. Every year it seems to me “how can this be topped”. So much effort goes into this stuff. But THIS YEAR… holy smokey….”prepare yourselves”.

Pledge then exit parking lot to the left and up the hill. Warmups at the intersection
Thang 1: 7’s (merkins, jump squats) between the corner and the driveway.
Thang 2: Kitty Litter was walking to avoid exacerbating injury so the rest of us moseyed to the gas station then back to KL, then sprint to the gas station, then mosey to KL, then sprint, etc. until we were all there.
Thang 3: starting at the Tesla chargers (future site of an HGTV thang) Lunge walk to mail box, stopping at each tree for incrementing merkins (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) and then back to the chargers lunge walking with cadence count LBCs (30 down to 5).
Mosey back to flag for Mary and a true HAND

Announcements: stations of the cross, Highland Games, picnic

Prayers: Petey, dumas’s cousin’s child, aging parents

In every moment of our lives there are things that are joyful and things that are stressful. We have it in our power to let the joy outweigh the stress.
