3 Westham residents, eager to avoid growing old, threw off the lure of the Fartsack and the environmental benefits of car-pooling in favor of a COVID-19-free commute to join 4 more for the latest edition of 45MOM.

An elite 9 ventured out into a full moon AO in search of the truth. Was this really a Lockjaw Q? Would he show? Does he really exist? It turns out the answer is yes to all three questions. A quick jaunt to the side of the AO for COP. 45 SSH, Don Quixote, Trademark Russian Soldiers, Scorpion Kicks, and HRM. Mosey to the blacktop for a socially distanced Triple Check. BTTW, Elbow Planks, and Karaoke to the fence, three Burpees, and Karaoke back. Back to the field and line up for the Beast. Copperhead SquatsCaptain ThorsCarolina Dry DocksMountain ClimbersHeals…

YHC wants to thank all that came out this morning to help remember a good friend and get some exercise in too. The morning went down like this. Brief introductions, social distancing warnings, and all the obligatory commentary. We started out with a warm-up of three Don Quixotes, and then the PAX was ready. We moseyed on up Grove towards Lexington/Albemarle, went through the neighbhood, came out on the other end, and headed to Hillcrest Ave. to go wake up TYA. Once we arrived at Hillcrest Ave, YHC had conveniently left a chalk starting line drawn on the pavement. For…

10ish men roused for a joyful beat-down in the gloom. Here’s what we did: COP: Mosey west on Grove, hang a left on Lock and gather in the First Pres parking lot. Deadman hang // Helicopters // DQs // Imperial Walkers // LBCs // Crabcakes // Plank // Merkins // Peter Parkers // Elbow Plank // Pickle Pounders // SSHs 21s (count to 5 in Candace, to 21 silently in our heads, all stop at the same time. A couple dudes messed up so we did 5 burpees). Mosey back to MM Triple Check: P1: Donkey Kicks // P2: Dips…

No more than 10 equidistantly spaced normalcy seekers gathered under the waning crescent for this year’s iteration of march madness. Brief mosey over to the center of the blacktop for something that went like this: COP20x – Staring at Saab not doing SSHs10x – Helicopters20x – Not so Imperial Walkers10+x – Don’t Stare at the Shorts Copperhead Squats20x – American Hammers10x – Merkins, good ole American style The ThangStay in our circle for an exercise YHC is calling, “10 Minutes of Hardywood Startup Ideas.” Pick a number from 1-10 and repeat that many burpees every minute for 10 minutes. Short…

A review of the Q sign up sheet revealed that a mysterious person with the moniker “Qa” signed up to lead 45MOM this morning. With great expectancy, 5 of us converged to meet our enigmatic leader and to be led by him. Turns out, Qa is a chump. Or, more likely, Qa is a clerical error, or TYA tried to sign up and missed some keys and then bailed. We shall never know. We resigned to hot potato the Q. Swirly: COT Handshake: Some Bearcrawl, crab walk, and regular suicides on the tennis courts. Then some pull up rotations with…
