Bojangles Biscuit #3

• Sprint, Mosey, Sprint, Mosey.

Mosey Back to Brewsters

• Wait… there is a hill in front of us with two clear cuts of grass right through the middle.
• Crab Walk backwards up the hill.  Bear Crawl forwards down the hill.  Rinse and Repeat
• Ok, that was run… now Mosey back to Brewsters

Is anybody interested in training for a go ruck event ( goruck.com ) or doing our own? We could add Monday or Friday to the rotation and start rucking once a week. Any questions or interest email Woody at joem42@hotmail.com and we can work something up.

11 Men battled the GLOOM this morning for the workout at Goat Island.

The morning started out with a bit of a shock to the PAX when we found out the gates were locked to Goat Island Park, but that did not deter anyone.  The PAX set up shop in the parking lot, grass, and gazebo and got to work.  Music, Cinder Blocks, Benches, and a Gazebo made for a great morning.

Start with Pledge of Allegiance

PARTNER UP WITH CINDER BLOCKS

• Some of the PAX had the new shirts on and they looked sharp.  Other PAX will have to put their name on a wait list and when enough show interest orders will be reopen.
• The song Flower by Moby seemed much longer than anticipated during the Bring Sally Up exercise.

Gone in 60 seconds at #GoatIsland

We won’t be boosting any cars tomorrow or driving a 1967 Ford Mustang named Eleanor, but you can channel your inner Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) while grinding through the upper body beatdown that BA will provide you.

Extra Credit to anyone who knows why this workout will be called Gone In 60 Seconds.
