I pulled into Folsom this morning with two ideas, one for a rainy workout and one for a dry one.  Well it’s not raining yet, so we are going with the “dry” workout. With 7 HIMS ready for the workout it’s time.

SSH X10 IC

Hillbillys X10 IC

Gravel Pickers X10 IC

Moroccan Nightclubs X10 IC

Thang:

Medicine Woman had left the shovel flag in another vehicle so a very short discussion about if someone had another flag would we get out of moseying to the flag pole at the entrance.  YHC as nicely as possible let the PAX know it really wasn’t going to matter we were going there anyway. To the flag we go.  Stop on the way to pick up the 6 and left the PAX to call exercises on their own.  YHC doesn’t know what was called but seen burpees from a distance and some planking.

Once at the flag 22 for the vets and pledge, short mosey to the parking lot across from the flag.  Roadie being the observant one asked what kind of 11’s are we doing?  Well I’m glad  you asked. Big Boy’s then Lunge across lot( 20 or so yards)  Burpee’s then lunge back. This was a real crowd pleaser and took us some time to complete. YHC wasn’t sure when I called those that I could complete, but we all pushed through and completed. Good work men!

Mosey to the Tennis Courts for some Mary.

Happy Birthday Hacksaw!

Good work today men, thanks for coming out. Missed the guys that couldn’t make it.

As always it was a pleasure and honor to lead today.

7 men showed for my first Q in a while. YHC isn’t able to post or Q much in the summer during the week due to my work schedule, but the  site Q graciously let me back in the fold at Folsom.

Pulled in a little early this morning to do a recon for what I was about to deliver. Folsom is undergoing some construction and the power is cut off in different places and parking lots dug up around the park. I wanted to see what was available to use and what wasn’t.  What I did find was Volt putting in some EC. Way to push bro!

Warmarama:

Moraccan Nightclubs waiting on Pastor Clever to get to the circle.

SSH X10 IC

Thang:

Gave the PAX an option and Sister Act spoke up and said just deliver a beatdown don’t give us any options.  I like a man that knows what he came for.

There are a lot of light poles around Folsom and there is one right at the start. Let’s go! Burpees, Squats, Merkins, Flutter Kicks, LBC’s  all 10 count OYO at every light pole we will pass as we tour Folsom. We are staying together and if you finish before your brother, help them finish.  Mosey a short mosey not even out of the parking lot and another light pole .  Get up the road a bit and there is a double light pole. Volt spoke up and asked if we did double the reps? A slight argument as to whether or not that was a light pole or just a pole ensued but YHC felt like that was a great idea. Double reps at this one. Thanks Volt!

Keep on moseying to the flag and more light poles, say the pledge and keep at it. Thanks for pointing out those light poles that were out Sister Act, YHC would have missed them.  All total we hit 15 poles including the double reps and the one at start twice to get 150 reps of those exercises and just over a mile. With time running out YHC called Gravel Pickers X10 IC, BedPan called Toy Soldiers X20 IC.  Time,

Announcements:  JJ5K and Stop Soldier Suicide 5Kor 10K 9/22,  Burpeethon on 10/6,  Snowbird this weekend,  Q VS Q at Gashouse  07:00 Saturday  (Folsom will be closed this Saturday).

Prayer Request:  BedPan’s M,  George and Self Family, each other, 2.0s, Hurricane victims to be, YHC’s Father and Mother In Law.  Seems like I’m forgetting  something my apologies if I am.

COT:  Thanks for the opportunity men, and thanks for showing up and pushing hard this morning.  Good to see Hacksaw, I know you are fighting injury but you are out there pushing through it. It was an honor to lead.  See you in the gloom!

YHC pulled into Folsom about 15 minutes early to find the parking lot empty. Not sure if the Wednesday Run Ruck  was going to keep a few HIMS from posting this morning.  By the time YHC got parked the others started rolling in one by one. All total 9 HIMS showed in the gloom for a beatdown.

YHC was told the night before on the Folsom chat that there were 2 strong FNG’s that showed this week and that YHC should give them a beatdown that they won’t forget. (thanks Montross) 5:30 is here time to breakup the mumble chatter.

Thang:

Mosey to the flag, say the pledge and 22 Merkins for the vets.  Mosey again to Sparky’s Lot for Wolverine Burpee/Long Jumps to the end. Mosey, sometime during the mosey  YHC overheard Pastor Clever say something about he was told to park at the tennis courts and he thought that we would be working out on the courts. Who was YHC to decline a new PAX the joy of what tennis courts really should be used for?

YHC called for some B.O.M.B.S. As the exercises were called out YHC was also called out by the spelling nazi (Huckleberry) and was asked how YHC spelled B.O.M.B.S with those exercises. Oh well I’m the Q I can spell it how I like! Time for some B.B.M.S.L

Partner up, YHC was odd man out so I did my sets with Montross and Pastor Clever.

50 Burpees

100 Big Boys

150 Merkins

200 Squats

BOM: YHC takes us out.

Moleskin:  Strong work from everyone today. YHC is really glad he had the Q today, didn’t really want to get out of the fartsack, but the PAX make it worth it and give back tenfold . It’s funny how  you think you are giving to the PAX but YHC is really getting the blessing from it.  Thank’s for the push Pastor Clever, only your second time posting and you are pushing hard. Gravity is getting better and better.  Volt is consistently there, Huck, Roadie posting 2 adays and 6 days a week, Medicine Woman doing EC and running with his 2.0 . Great to see every HIM at Folsom pushing hard.

If you haven’t had a chance to get out to Folsom come on out and get your beatdown and coffeerama Saturday 06:30-07:30. Montross with the Q.

It was a blessing and honor to lead today.

YHC  showed up this morning with 2 PAX waiting for the beatdown, just after I arrived 7 more showed up and even Sparky was on time. Just barely though.  Enough chatter about tiny sacks and who’s going to get the Iron Skillet this month, it’s time to go.

Warmarama:  SSH, Hillbillys, Gravel Pickers x10 IC

Thang:  Let’s mosey to the flag, some mumble chatter in the PAX about the flag being right there. Where?YHC doesn’t know what Medicine Woman is talking about.  Get to the flag but not before Montross pulls a Sparky near the finish and sneaks past us to get there first. ( YHC will be ready next time)

YHC picks up the 6 as the others plank. Hank has gout in his knee and Huck is right there with him(no man left behind). Tclaps to Hank for even posting with his knee hurting as bad as it was. Say the Pledge and on your 6.

Thanks for the push, was an honor and privilege to lead this morning.

YHC pulled into Folsom a little early to get ready for the Q. Just a few minutes later Medicine Woman rolled in and we get out of our trucks. Not long after that the PAX start pulling in one by one. Everyone is talking and we hear a train, not on the clock yet so it’s  ignored  for the time being.  05:30 hits and it’s  time  to  start.

Wamarama: train is still going so 5 burpees OYO ,SSH,Hillbillies, Gravel Pickers X2 IC

Thang: mosey to the lower parking lot for a lap and 10 burpees,another lap and we see headlights  plulling in. Sparky is here so we do another lap to let Sparky get to us. Nice sprint to catch  up  with  us. 10 more burpees.

Mosey to the flag at the front of the park for the pledge. On your 6 for lbcs, American hammers, flutter kicks all x 20 IC. MW calls out big boys so we get 20 of them as well.

The PAX pushed hard this morning. Everyone finished the workout stronger than they were the day before. Leaving no one behind. They helped me more than they know and I appreciate that. It was a pleasure and an honor.

YHC showed this warmish morning on his 45th birthday.  YHC took the Q spot early so no one else could get it. The PAX didn’t disappoint as 8 HIMs showed for the Birthday Q. Nice to see the numbers getting up from the 3 or 4 that Folsom had been seeing. We have some consistent HIMs that are getting better each time some are putting in 2 a days. T claps to everyone of you. Keep it up!

Montross was also quite the talker this morning as he and Huckleberry took jabs at each other. From where YHC was I couldn’t hear all that was said but most of the ones that could hear were getting a good laugh from it. Hate I missed the chatter.

Mosey back to start and somewhere Sparky heard a train/redneck truck horn, maybe in his head as YHC or Medicine Woman didn’t hear or blocked it out. Anyway we put our 5 burpees in regardless. Times up.

Thang: Mosey to the entrance for the pledge, as we were running the flag was held out perfectly square by the wind. It was a sight to see.

YHC pulled in a little early this morning and was unsure who would post in the chill today. Volt did commit last night on the Folsom chat so YHC knew we had at least one with me in the cold. YHC decided to improvise a balaclava with and old bandana i had laying around. Volt shows up this morning with new workout pants, I’m sure that he has never posted in pants before this morning.  Sparky shows and said he broke out his wool socks and was glad he did. 05:30 hit so let’s get moving so we can stay warm.

YHC picked up the Q after Roadie had to “work”  something in his text last night about laying pipe. Not YHC’s place to judge but #ifeelgoodafterlayingpipe. Anyway 5 Pax showed up for a Tuesday morning impromptu beatdown.

Warmarama:

10 SSH, a little mumble chatter about the low number of SSH’s. Just wait there are more coming. 10 Gravel Pickers, and 10 Hillbillys.

Thang:

Let’s mosey, we started up the hill toward the entrance and some more mumble chatter about the shovel flag being at the start and there was no reason to mosey to the entrance. YHC played dumb and wondered what Medicine Woman was talking about. Get to the flag and pledge and put our 22 merkins in for the Vets. Next on your 6 for 15 or 20 LBCs IC. YHC is having a brainfart, more on that later.  recover, lets mosey.

Mosey around the long way to the bottom parking lot for a Rush song themed workout according to the exicon.

Start at the bottom of parking lot run to the top for 100 SSH, run back to start then run back to top for 75 Mountain  Climbers.  This is when YHC crop dusted the pax and Blart with his keen sense of smell figured out whatYHC had for dinner last night, road kill and chili beans RK&CB. We all had a good time with that one as it lingered like the fog that was out this morning. Next exercise was 50 LBCs, then 25 merkins, and finally 10 Burpee’s.
