7 for a rainy slog through Stonebridge. The theme was ‘find all the things that Jiggz lost’ – a round plate, a pain stick, another pain stick, a CMU, and a kettlebell scattered throughout the neighborhood. One metaphor in my head was ‘the things I’ve forgotten and relearned over the years’. The metaphor spoken aloud, however, was Pokémon Go. This felt more fitting (and easier to overlay), so we’ll go with that. Although I’mnot sure which Pokemon is most pain-stick-like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After collecting all the items with Merkins and Squats as the pearls on our string, we moved as a group up and down Chaumont Hill while the two unencumbered PAX ran down and up the hill to lap us. Finally head back to the flag with the items. Load some in my car, and French Lick was gracious to return the items borrowed from ChrisR’s pile On The Way back to Lochmere.

Lifted up Dowry’s dad and GravelMouth’s job search. 2 stayed for coffee… but they carpooled so coffeeteria was conducted on the road. Still delicious, reigns.

RAINY MORNINGS ARE THE BEST!! Nowhere to hide from the suck. I feel like 50% of my rainy workouts have been at Thunderstruck too… which means you definitely fail your dome inspection. Nevertheless, site Q kept us safe and with flag today, so, redemption. MIAG[Rainy]D!

Great crew for the Sunday Slowzy, and while there was a stretch of the Regency loop where we started going a little too Fastzy, we managed to get things back under control and keep Captain Jack (mostly) happy (I think). MIAGD.

And just like that AKOA week comes to a close. Some may reflect on this as SCary’s first CSAUP of 2025. Some may reflect on it as the most fun they’ve had all year. Some may reflect on it with disdain and an attitude of good riddance. Some may even still be asking themselves, what is AKOA Week?

Astro kicked things off this morning with some attempted deception involving multiple laps around the upper lot until finally heading towards the dock for warm-ups. Upon the mosey to the dock who should appear but Kitty Litter, OTW, and Amway at various locations each calling their ‘signature’ exercise. Fairly standard warm-ups with the inclusion of the Rick Rude which left Texas Ranger in tears, then passed off to the cat who may be on his 9th life.

Kitty Litter took us down to the disc golf pickle for some AKOA four corners. By now I think you know which exercises were called.

OTW took us over to the rock pile for some rock work and TAKE THE HILL (which was more of a tiny bump to Pick Up).

Amway led us back to the pool for How Well Can You Keep a Secret burpees, Last Man Merkin-ing, and Mary.

Thanks to everyone who participated in and supported this endeavor. Part of what makes this group great is not taking ourselves too seriously and pushing each other to do more than we thought we could. This week accomplished that and shoutout to the guys who completed a full AKOA week. Now who’s ready for part two?

AKOA week continues. Beautiful brisk morning at Point Break, with a little bit of something for everyone, Cleaver-ites, Ruckers, and Bootcampers. Problematic numberz (probably because of the nut milk advertised at coffeteria.

Anyways, welcome FNG, so mission and core principles. Off we mosey to the Shake Shack lot with an extra loop for good measure. Warm-ups near an unexpectedly sketchy 4-Runner. At this point a new F3 Game was created, look for it at an AO near you soon, Yogi and Bubba-isms Bingo. Looped around the lot again, down past whole foods (and the sketchy 4-Runner for a second time) and onto the green to find…..

THE WHEEL OF PAIN (core-centric edition)
Spin the wheel, 20 of called exercise OYO followed by a big pickle around Shake Shack. Halfway through we needed to balance some things out so merks and squats to restore said balance. Continue on until all exercises had been called. More squats and merks then back up to the big lot. At this point Kirkland was bemoaning the lack of AKOA exercises, so Astro Jacks, Stiflers Mom, American Sledgehammers, and Cat Scratch Fever were all called. Back to pick up the wheel (which Gravel Mouth bore upon his back) and then to the flag.

A great crowd this morning at Thunderstruck gathered to pay homage to a couple of local HIMs.
Mosey, warmups, and venture into Glenridge. Throughout workout any time we saw a car we stopped what we were doing and played it cool (squat hold and read newspaper). We traveled to various houses and culdesacs with two special stops at casa de Tonnage and casa de Snip. Added a new exercise at each stop along the way.

Problematic numbers this morning but great to see some neighbors visit from the Peak tribe. Disclaimer then pledge then off we go. No elaborate plans but our friend from the far far west in LaLa Land debuted a new exercise yesterday, so we had to try it out. Warmups with stretching then mosey to the long hill that Bing shared during BRR training.

7’s was the call with the Lt. Dan Tuck Jump Burpee at the top and WW2’s at the bottom. Nope that’s not the bottom of the hill keep going. Finished with 6 regular burpees as a group.

Mosey back to the warmup spot for some post hill stretching. Back to the flag for a few popcorn Mary and HAND with 2.5 minutes to spare. Our lone Ochoer returned safely with mysterious blood stains.

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!

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!

Today we conquered the tried and true Regency loop, with stops for a set of sevens at Garmin and a quick visit down Ave of the Estates. We all got better and also learned that Hermes was a debutante, or attended a debutante ball, can’t really remember all the details. MIAGD fellas!
