It was beautiful morning at Lake Lochmere. We had runners, ruckers and boot campers. Yogi gladly took the Q. We moseyed down to the lake and in a rotating fashion Yogi cranked out Thang 1: merkins, dips, burpees, carolina dry docks, WWII’s, LBC’s mixed in with sprints midway down on the red rail and back. Thang 2: we worked at grass dam and moseyed down the path behind the dam and around the disc golf course. We hustled back to the flag and finished with some Mary.

Announcements: See Slack.

Prayers: Yogi has been going through extreme difficulty. Without further elaboration, our brother needs ALL our prayers and support.

MIAGD!

Six HIMs ran for 4 miles at around 9:45 pace discussing raising Godly kids in an Ungodly world. Discussed the dangers of technology, being good examples for your kids, the birds and the bees, and the pressures of growing up in today’s world. Great fellowship and discussion. Feel free to thread any suggestions, reference material, tips, or any other things that you have found helpful in raising good human beings. Yogi lead LNL COT and TR took us out. Prayers for Yogi as well as all the Mom’s. MIAGD

What a delightful morning to be out at SWW. The Pax began with the pledge and headed out to cover 2+ miles and 100 of each of the following exercises, Merkins, Low slow Flutters, WW11, Boat Canoes. We also threw in some SSH’s and Sir Fazio Arm Circles. Many things were discussed. @Captain Jacks Colonoscopy, Mothers Day’s Gifts, and selection of our next Nantan will be conclave style either in Sandals, Myrtle Beach or @Oofda’s mountain house. Prayers for our kids as they end the school year and very grateful to lead this group of HIM’s

Also there were multiple runners

At 0528 there were only 4 HIMs at the flag, but 10 more arrived over the next 7 minutes. I guess that’s how they do things at the Hulk. One of the site Q’s was there, so that was good.

The Q needed to keep his legs limber for an upcoming Maynard, so the exercises were mainly focused above the waist, except for the required swings, of course.

The workout consisted of sets of 20 reps of exercises grouped together by muscle group, followed by 20 swings at the end of each set. We did all this to the sounds of ska-punk from the late 90’s.

Warmups:
20 Swings
Run in place (holding bell)
Big arm circles
Halos

Shoulders:
20 Front raises
20 Shoulder press
20 Upright rows
20 Half kneeling press
Then 20 Swings

Chest:
20 Chest press
20 Offset Merkins
20 Pullovers
20 Decline press
20 Half Turkish getups
Then 20 Swings

Arms:
20 Curls
20 Tricep extensions
20 Suitcase rows L/R
20 Cleans
Then 20 Swings

Abs:
20 American hammers
20 WWIs
20 American Sledgehammers
20 American hammers
20 Big Boy Situps
Then 20 Swings

Back:
20 Rows L/R
20 Pull through
20 Superman’s
20 Center Rows
Then 20 Swings

When we got through all 5 sets, we did rapid-fire sets of 10 reps of 5 exercises (1 exercise from each group), followed by 10 swings and then a 30-second break in between. We got through 3 of these rapid-fire sets.

We prayed our unspoken prayers. HDHH tonight. Murph coming up. ToC zoning meeting on May 22nd. MIAGD.

12 pax showed up for a brisk morning dough it run and 1 did the doughcho (Hoppin John). Good route with consistent mix of hills and a good pace by all!

Coffee was enjoyed by most. Not sure what ended up happening to Hoppin John’s bagels! They may have made it back to the break room at Glenaire……

Reminder to get out and run The Maynard at least once this week! Upcoming dough it run to Henry’s house and back….date to be confirmed.

Prayers for Life Alerts family trip to Florida ( for safe travels and sanity).

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!!!

We ventured off site this morning after Mission, Pledge, and warmups. We moseyed into Summerwinds neighborhood making some stops for merkins, Bobby Hurleys, CDDs, LBCs, & squats. Eventually we made our way down to the lake via an inconspicuous greenway entrance. After a short stint we exited to apartments after stopping for some irkins at playground.

Thang 1 was rotating bear crawls, crab walks, backwards run, and Carioca up to the top of hill at apartments. We exited out to sidewalk and turned back into Waverly for Thang 2: BLIMPS across Whole Foods parking lot. There was still some time to spare so we got a round of Four Corners w/ hand release merkins in before moseying back to flag.

A few announcements and a bunch of prayer requests this morning.

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

Some studs kicked things off with the Sherpa loophole EC, YHC not included.

For the ME we set off to the medical complex/old folks home. I was alerted that for 3 who attended 88mph this would be the second time this week. Perfect reason to attend an alternate Monday mid-tempo SCary workout! But I digress…

Theme of the Thang was “Spiraling Downhill”, an homage to our lives. After a few audibles to find the right pickle length, we settled into a non-standard DORA with the pickle being up the stairs and spiral back down the ramps.

We capped that by performing 1 McDuck. The PAX really struggled with the name.
Hustled back to the flag in time for a bit of Mary.

Great coffee and discussion of .

12 stong at Shepherd’s this beautiful Good Friday. Lots of chatter leading up to the 5:30 start, always a sign of a great group.

Over to Craft for a quick warmup, including a broken Rockette Imperial Walkers, and some almost yoga poses.

Partner up for Catch Me if You Can around the parking lot pickle. 10 merkins before catching up with your partner who was running backward, shuffling, or karaoke;

Over to the day care for a ring of fire. 100 Peter Parker Merkins done in sequence upon the PAX count.

Continue toward BJ’s stopping for another ring of fire including squat holds/squats

At BJ’s, a final ring of fire (squat hold/ burpees)

Finish with 7 of diamonds at BJ’s (ab focused), before running back to the flag; only to stop for calf raises and merkins

Beautiful time of year with much to celebrate; Such good fortune to have health and a sound mind to join my brothers in the morning. Shout out to Bubba, who is self admittingly, looking and feeling better than he has in years.

Highland Games tomorrow; not too late to commit
