Eight young gentlemen showed up ready to take on another Tuesday, only to find that they had no fearless leader. Not to be undone by this captain-less ship, a hot potato Q was called. Here’s what YHC can remember: LOOSE GOOSE COP: invisible jump rope, Russian soldiers, kickbacks, LBCs. Mosey across parking lot for curb crawls (merkin escalator 1-11 on each end). You vs. You in deciding to crawl bear on return trip or turn around. GARBAGE PLATE Parking-lot-tracers-meet-indian-runs: Each man holding plank in a parking spot, last man runs tracers to the front. Continue across until PAX is all…

Crushed box of Newports. Opened wrapper wrapper.  Do I really want to look?  Never. Maybe? No. I dont need to see that.  Not again. Curiosity builds. Just a quick scan.  Yes, there it is. What glorious events previously occurred in this place? Aiming to improve our Middle School reputation, 6 stalwarts are ready for another school year and we gathered in the cool morn at Quioccasin Byrd Middle School.  This is how it went down.

5 brave posts to Heartbreak Ridge for a Garbage Plate VQ this morning.  Those with kids know how much time you spend just moving stuff around (MSA) the house.  Today was MSA Heartbreak Ridge. The pax warmed up with 15 x SSH, 10 x HC, JL, merkins.  MSA kicked off passing a pile of bricks down the pax line while doing squats.  First person goes to end of the line after passing all the bricks and the pattern continues in true Native American style.   After about 90 brick squats each, mosey to the retaining wall for 30 x dips…

Then we had fun…. 12 12 year olds showed up for play time at Heartbreak.  We skipped most of the workout stuff and went straight in for the kill….if “the kill” means playing a game.  6 on 6 meant lots of running and nowhere to hide.  Workout was gotten. Geez, this morning was a blast, even though I once again was on the losing end until the final score.  Everybody that posted is ready for another round of ULTIMATE, we just have to figure out when. I am not going to give a breakdown of the game, because it won’t…

A mob of 17 filled up the parking lot of Hearbreak Ridge this morning!  Wow! For the third week in a row, we spent our Tuesday morning playing Ultimate instead of doing an “actual” workout.  I say “actual” in air quotes though, as I recorded over 3 miles in steps by the end of our little game.  This is the first time though that we actually had enough  white shirts to play with nobody having to go skins!  Same format as last week’s No Toll and the week prior’s DaVille….feel free to go read those if you want to know…
