Eleven of the faithful posted at Grid Iron on a chilly February morning, YHC having filled the minds and hearts of the faithful with promises of an FNG. The FNG was a no-show, but we had work to do. The Q started off by calling merkins but doing side straddle hops just to see who would brought the right level of obeisance to the workout. We then moved on to the actual merkins, followed by hillbillies, LBCs, and some other things. The PAX was led to grassy knoll behind the schoolhouse, and YHC kicked off “ten minutes of whatever” with…

At first we were running a lot and doing all…

Pre workout warmers and post workout refreshments had a 6-Nations (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French and…
