A fabulous 9 embraced winter’s last hurrah juxtaposed with spring’s flowers. 4s head east on Grove and north on Malvern. 5s head west on Grove, a right on Lexington, a right on Patterson, and a left on Malvern. All turn right on Hamilton to Grove and back to the VSF. Bodos took us out. Have a great weekend everyone!
A dashingly handsome dozen gloom warrior vets posted in honor of the Forge 2 year anniversary, standing in the prow, cursing the storm, ready to embrace the windy wet suck. As accounted in the treasured Forge annals, here’s what greatness transpired: The THANG: COP #1: Mosey down the Lot and Circle UpWelcome & F3 DisclaimerLots of the usual DTH Warmerama Reps – all IC – and including a sloppy embrace with the soaked tarmac COP #2: While awaiting Hardywood, the PAX lined up for 11’s on Opposing CurbsDecline Werkins 1-10Incline Diamond Merkins 10-1Lunge between sides (half way through, Audibled to…

9 of Roger Miller’s closest friends ventured forth in the rain, wind, and Gloom, electing to spend 45 Minutes together at Mary. Temperatures and conditions were exactly 70 and sunny. According to the worms inching across the pavement, here’s what happened, more or less: With the normal Q (Wojo – get better soon) on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, Saab took the Q to begin with: Mosey around the school north, west, south, and east to the playground. COP:Dead Man HangHelicoptersImperial WalkersMercans Mosey to the Tennis Courts for Suicides: Standard suicidesEscalator suicides with mercans (5, 10, 15, 20)…
It was a typical morning pre-workout. Either white lightning or grey Hyundai were speeding to scoop up the PAX and on que a passenger asks “Who is Q?” Nancy Lopez said “some dude named Toga.” YHC perked up and was thankful he brought a towel, as a visit from the legend we know as Toga would not only whip us into shape, but require a towel at the end. But to YHC dissapointment, it would appear some ASSHAT put Togas name down on the sheetor we have named someone Toga (if that is the case – I submit a petition…
YHC has never been lucky at cards, and YHC wanted the PAX to share in that lack of luck this morning. YHC was banking on it being a quiet Wdog morning but instead the numbers were high, and so were the spirits and YHC tempered those spirits with what came next. COP: YHC led the PAX in some light stretching stretch hands into the air, then touch your toes, then arm across chest and stretch, then do other arm, then helicopters, then Donny Q’s. All done at a very very slow pace. Then fun started, YHC pulled out a deck…
7 early risers including yours truly thought “5:30 is way too late, we need to start at 5” and showed up on a mild morning (not quite 70). Before we started we had a little difficulty finding the coupons which worried the Fireman. However, someone took the effort to neatly stack them for us. COP: Take coupon to normal COP space. DQs, CPs, ACs, SKs, and Merkins. Elevens with curb derkins and heels to heaven. During this exercise, Upchuck and Handshake were practicing poor social distancing by doing some sort of wrastlin’. The governor would be very disappointed in you…
Three men broke through the gloom on a perfect WTH day to improve the local neighborhood. One mile out. Working our way back we did 3 sets of 11s. 4.1 total miles. Round 1: Merkins & WW2Round 2: Jump Squat & shoulder tapsRound 3: LBC & Peter Parker shoulder taps YHC took us out. Announcements: BRR, Tomato relay, NMS – we worked pretty hard today. Minimal chatter. Gypsy is thinking about outreach to young men that need some guidance. I am too. For many sports is an outlet – but these require such an outlay for, equipment, advanced training, travel,…
8 strong showed up for a boot camp while 7 runners launched from SOT. Along came FNG who was told to show up for a run. Unfortunately Boberry left him Home Alone and poor guy did not know where to park or find the group. We obliged by welcoming him into the gloom with a beat down. Welcome FNG Wet Bandit. COP- Mosey to front bus loop. 25 SSH, 10 Each: DQ’s, imperial walkers, helicopters, deadman hang. 15 each MErkins, LBC’s, Plank jacks, Dollies (Just to make wilson get back on ground.
