11 started at EXACTLY 530 with the disclaimer and pledge. We were joined by our nantan during our mosey over to the courtyard for vanilla warmups by the stairs. Instructions were provided on the proper execution of the South Cary Stretch with a pending Exicon edit battle forthcoming.
Thang 1:
4 corners
* Carolina dry docks
* Overhead claps
* Lunges
* Derkins (at the stairs)
2 rounds of 17 reps, then 7 reps, then 3 reps.

Now that we’d made our COLD circle the inspiration for the theme was revealed:
On this day in 1773, Captain James Cook’s expedition was the first recorded crossing of the Antarctic circle. So we crossed the circle.

Count off 1-2-3.
Group 1: run to far end for AMRAP Captain Thor (sit-up / 4 American hammers)
Group 2: AMRAP Jump Ups at the stairs
Group 3: lungewalk to center then sprint to the other end
Traveling group takes over the AMRAP and the other group starts their crossing.
Repeato until it 06:10 then mosey back to the flag.
On our six for 73 cadence count LBCs. Kirkland nearly caused a restart after 40 when he quipped that we’d finally found an exercise not mailed in by YHC.
The 12 explorers were joined for COT by post-Ocho OTW.

Announcements: lunch today at Chanticleer, Duck Donuts Dash 2/22, Astro’s AKOA week 2/3, Highland Games 4/19, (talk to jigglypuff for SAG), picnic 4/27.

Prayers for safe travels for those traveling.

Captain James Cook had a lot of questionable quotes, but he did say at one point that “Everybody lives an epic.” We all have ups and downs in our lives and like characters from literature and movies we have influence not only on the people directly in our story but also on every person who sees our actions and feels their results. We are models for each other, for our families, and for the countless strangers we encounter throughout our lives. And we have it in our power to make those interactions and lead our lives in such a way that we will be remembered for the good we’ve done in this world. Be epic today.

Ten HIMs gathered in the frozen tundra of Stonebridge Village for a warming set of BLIMPS.
4 corners x 10 for
Burpees
Lunges
Imperial walkers
Plank jacks
Squats

We then had the people’s choice between the chair or balls to the wall, both and neither were enjoyable.
On our way back to the flag we were able to get in a set of dips and irkins. This left just enough time for some Chillcut-ing before we really start having a nice day.
Announcements: DDD 2/22 – last day for shirt orders
4/19. – Highland Games
4/26 – SCary Family Picnic
Prayers
For Kitty Litter’s coworker and the loss of his son to a brown recluse spider bite
For Wah Wah’s son being deployed again on Monday
For Ying and a smooth transition while getting his house on the market
MIAGD fellas!

3 Cleaverers (Clevearites? Cleaverians?) and 16 bootcampers launched from Point Break on a crisp and windy morning. After a mosey and warmup we found safety from the wind in a parking deck, at Term Paper’s welcome suggestion.
Thang 1: The world’s shortest, but not easiest, 11’s. Bear crawl about 20 feet, Merkin, Crab Walk back, LBC.
Interlude: Washington Commanders Run (or Kenyan Queue) modified so the front person dropped off, performed 5 Merkins, then catches up to the back and yells “Loud and Proud, the Six”. After some confusion about which line the yelling was for one group modified the call to wish YHC a Happy Birthday.
Thang 2: 11’s on a hill. CDDs at top, Squats at bottom, and PAX choice of Everests or backwards run up the hill.
Mosey back to the flag, couple minutes o’ Mary, and Have a Nice Day!
It was a pleasure to be out with y’all this morning. I’m grateful for every one of you being out there, working hard, and supporting your fellow man. Few have it as good as we do. MIAGD!

Ruckers rucked to the parking lot on the other side of Crescent Commons and did some island hopping. First round we did squats at each island (total reps 47). Second round we did merkins at each island (total reps 47). We then headed to the hill to the upper lot where we did hill repeats (squat holds at the top and shoulder taps at the bottom). After several rounds we headed back tot he imaginary flag for COT.

Announcements: DDD 2/22, HG 4/19, TRR 4/26 and Scary Family Picnic 4/27.

Prayers for Wing’s M and the passing of her Grandmother, those impacted by the wildfires out in California and Tickle’s back.

Great way to start the day. Thanks for following this geezer around for 45 minutes. MIAGD!

Groups of 3 was the name of the game today.
Bubba for an EC (), joined up by two groups of 3 for the ME.
Mosey, warmups including SCS Jigglystyle and then to the green for Thang 1: Rock, Paper, Scissors. From our home base we ran up the north stairs for rock jump squats (ball up at the bottom like a rock) back to home for dips, then up the south stairs for Superman merkins (get flat like paper), back for for dips then across parking lot for X-ups (scissors def have an X situation going on). Rounds of 5, 10, then 15 reps.

Midway through the Krypto crowd showed up, and everyone just instinctively knew that each team must nominate a leader for an RPS battle. Bubba made us proud, per Grisham “prouder of him than his own mama.” What you didn’t learn from the Krypto backblast is that our 88 crowd pleased them with monkey humpers while they executed their penalty burpees.

We had time to squeeze in a quick round of The Ultimate Driving Machine and then back to the flag for Mary including Dowry’s Rick Rudes.
Tuck your shirt in and MIAGD!

Scary points were awarded for “snow” today.
3 runners and 10 boot campers.

The theme fell apart, the workout was mailed in but the company and chatter were on point.

Highlights – finding “Petey” the bird frozen to the ground. Saved and “rescued”. & Jigglypuff with the longest sled down the Lochmere hill. Best wipeout goes to Shipyard.

Welcome FNG – Petey! Promise the next one will be a beat down.

coming up in Feb. sign up now!

Prayers for health, kiddos, and the people around us that we can be a light to.

MIAGD!

13 HIMs braved the “feels like 12” cold for the unveiling of the new Shepherd’s Watch cinder blocks! We used those, plus some from the normal stash, for the entirety of the workout.

We walked with our blocks to the parking lot next to where I told kitty litter we’d be working out and got after it. The thang was partner up for a Cindy Dora with 100 OHP, 200 C4G and 300 chest presses while the partner walks the pickle. At one point the thoroughbreds from BiB finally showed up. Once finished, we walked back with blocks to the flag. Arms are sore.

DDD and HG2k25. Prayers for Kelly, prayers and praises for the commish’s son. MIAGD, gents!
