On the drive to the AO through Cramerton this morning there was some unusual stuff on the roads that normally isn’t there. After further inspection, the PAX came to find out that there were piles of mayflies that were attracted to the lights around town, easily millions on the ground and in the air. Disgusting! Despite the swarm that tried to take over our usual stomping grounds, there were 10 brave souls who made it out this Monday morning. Aye!

The mumble chatter started early with some PAX insinuating that I needed to put more enthusiasm into the beginning of my workout. Apparently I was talking too softly! That won’t happen again.

No FNGs so no disclaimer.

Word of the month

SSH x15IC, Mountain Climbers x10IC, something else I think…

Mosey toward Goat Island. As the PAX approached the stop sign, YHC stopped for a little break from the routine and called for some hill work with the Bernie Sanders (running backwards up the steepest hill you can find). This announcement brought immediate mumble chatter and calls to skip it for fear of holes and general discomfort. YHC being a reasonable guy and wanting to be the best leader he can be allowed the temporary mutiny of his Q but then called for 10 burpees instead! Mosey on.

Upon reaching the second bridge at the island, the Q called for a bear crawl across with modification of lunges to the other side if needed. Nice work men! Continue the mosey up Main Street past the apartments and down toward the fields out back. The PAX got a little stretched out for a bit but the strong PAX led an improv of core work while waiting for the 6. More moseying with sarcastic mumble chatter followed.

In the home stretch back to the school the PAX got stretched out and separated again. While the Q  and others brought up the rear, the faster men broke down a few rounds of Mary until we arrived. Great work again men! In all we covered just shy of 4 miles this morning.

Announcements: Prayers for Monk’s brother in law’s mother, Anthrax’ grandmother recently passed. T Square

COT

AYE!!!

There were 6 PAX who made it out on Monday to make themselves and each other better. To my surprise an FNG showed after being EH’ed by Stroganoff’s M!!! I’m sure it’s happened before but that is some strong work by Mrs. Stroganoff right there!

The Thang

The PAX set out on our long mosey toward Goat Island. Upon reaching the Goat parking lot we circled up for a quick round of Merkins because the FNG said he wasn’t strong on that. Ask and you shall receive! From there we moseyed some more past downtown, under the train tracks up and around to the mill village neighborhood where we planked for the six. Mosey again to the park down by the river where we grabbed a piece of picnic table for some dips. The last mosey brought us back to home base where we recited the Pledge. Time was up.

Quick Namorama, welcome FNG Hasselhoff!

COT

Good work men!

The PAX was out in full force to start the week off right today. I got a hard commit the night before from a friend I’d been EH’ing but didn’t see any sign of him until headlights came around the bend from Cramerton way. Normally I like an FNG to have a minute to chit chat before things get cranked up but since he was coming in hot that chance was lost. The show must go on!

The “Warmup”

The Slaughter Starter (20 burpees OYO) Immediate grumbling, mission accomplished.

LBCx10 IC (Very hard to lead cadence after the Starter)

Nolan Ryansx10 IC each side

Mosey to the Goat Island parking lot.

The Thang

11’s of lunges on one end and mountain climbers at the midway point of the lot. After counting off a couple of times to catch our breath, it was back to campus.

Instead of making it all the way back to home base, we pulled up at the stop sign for some long distance suicides. The PAX paired up and while person 1 planked, person 2 ran to the first speed bump where he did 5 burpees then ran back for the tag. On the next cycle, the PAX had to go to the 2nd speed bump but to save time the Q called Omaha and cut out the burpees. Third cycle had the PAX go to the 3rd speed bump. This seemed to take a really long time so just before everyone finished up the Q audibled again and led the PAX to the flag.

We finished with Namorama, announcements and COT. Welcome FNG Quiche (Andy Dyksterhouse)

As always it was a great way to start my day and week. Thank you guys for being here so we could enjoy it together!

7 PAX made it out on the Monday after the Back Woods Brawl to run. Unfortunately they had to follow the VQ around and around until time was up…I had a blast!

The Thang

The PAX made their way around the school building at fellowship pace with some friendly conversation. Pit stop at the side/gym entrance for 30 decline Mericans (not incline Mericans, thanks Roscoe!). Once the PAX finished that we made another lap around the school and another 30 declines.

Mosey down to the small roundabout for the real work. The PAX was instructed to sprint from the start to the first road hump where we did 20 Prisoner Squats. Sprint to the next road hump for 20 LBCs. Sprint to the next hump for 20 more Prisoner Squats. Sprint to the stop sign and plank til the 6 arrived. From the stop sign we ran to the artwork at the top and planked til the 6 the arrived. Recovery jog back down to the starting roundabout.

Rinse and repeat with 10 Burpees OYO at the end to top it off.

Mosey back to the parking area.

Once that was done the PAX pointed out that we had to go until 6:15 (2 more minutes) so I kicked it to Roscoe for some improv.
