Four men met in a parking lot with a butt load of buses and no Q.  Mumblechatter placed some missing pax members at WDog due to Mr. Holland ringing the 1 year bell this morning.  Hot potato workout….hot dog! Gumbo: -COP with the usual suspects.  This was followed by a Dora, run around the lower parking lot loop while partner performs 100 merkins, 200 squats, and 300 1-count Freddie Mercury’s. Lab Rat: -Parking lot tracers down to the back of the parking lot.  Extended plank routine.  Sideways parking lot tracers back up the hill. Bag Phone: -Bench work:  dips; incline merkins;…

3 SOJ vets broke the hold and converged on SOT for another unseasonably mild morning.  The menu was full of Gumbo and here was today’s recipe: Mosey down to the far bus lot for COP, including: DQs Helicopters Cotton Pickers Arm Circles Imperial Walkers LBCs Freddie Mercuries Hand Release Merkins THANG Triple Check 1 At corner of the school where the bench is – dips, flutter kicks and 3rd PAX member runs to far tree in the line, does 10 SSHs and runs back.  3 times each. First set of Door Checks Starting on the side of the school at…

YHC arrived at SOT shortly after 5 and planted the flag.  7 others soon rolled in, and marveled at the AO that still has that “new car” smell.  0530 struck and we were off. Thang: Mosey to the lower lot for Warmup, all IC:  20 x SSH, 10 x Don Quixote, 13 x Helicopter (yes, 13…YHC confused himself during cadence, laughing at some mumblechatter.  That won’t last, he thought to himself), 10 x slowwwww merkins, 20 X LBC Mosey to football field for the Millennium, slightly modified.  PAX lines up on the goal line and begins the prescribed exercise. …

Over to the bus parking lot…

Early apologies to the other 6 PAX since YHC told my 2.0 Cliffhanger that if he posted we would get some running in.  With everyone deciding to stick around to see what type of running YHC had in store we were off to circle SOT. Warmup in the bus loop with Arm Circles, Hillbillies, Russian Soldiers, and Flutter Kicks. Mosey around the school and down the stairs to the track for a Rosco special.  9 minutes of running – laps around the track at your own pace until the Q says stop. Regroup at the mini-bleachers for a random, rapid…

4 men arose from the fart sack to the emerging dawn to see what YHC had in store for SOT this morning.  0530….let’s go! Mosey to parking lot across from the football field. COP……x 15 Arm circles (10 small, 5 big). Forward than backwards. x 10 Don Quixote’s, x 10 Helicopters, x 15 Imperial walkers, x 14 Box cutters, x 13 Flutter kicks. And we were done! Triple nickel….starting at the bottom of the hill at the parking lot, perform 5 merkins and run to the top of the hill, near the school buses and perform x 5 (2 count)…

A mighty 7 attacked the gloom of SOT for a form focused beatdown.  As the Garmin synched satellite watch clicked over to 0530 6 stood ready to hit the road when Rosco rolled in to make the dreaded odd number of 7.  No matter today, YHC did not have any planned partner or group work. Mosey over to the bus parking area for a warm up of SSH, DQ, Helicopters, Hillbilles (for Jville), Alternating Shoulder Taps, LBCs. Short Mosey to the sidewalk for form focus instructions.  8 Count hand release burpees x 5, Slow deep lunges 10 each leg, Slow…

6 SOT regulars (great to have a solid base of regulars at the new SOT AO) posted on this Hump Day morning.  Nobody signed up to Q but YHC secured the AO, so I kicked off the festivities and went to the bullpen to bring in Wild Thing (aka Rosco) to close it down.  This is how it went, more or less: Mosey down the hill to the football field (still of broken dreams to borrow McRib’s moniker for Old SOT’s football field) and circle up for COP, including: DQs Helicopters Arm Circles SSHs LBCs Flutter Kicks THANG: The Beast…

8 regulars and 1 FNG congregated at SOT on a humid summer morning for a beatdown that went something like this: Mosey to front of Midlo-Middle. Plank to wait for Hardywood… Recover. Disclaimer. COP: SSHs, DQs, Copperhead Squats, Merkins, LBCs Mosey to west parking lot for Touch a Tree: Partner up, partner 1 touches 1 tree, partner 2 performs exercise, swap…repeato increasing number of trees each time (can’t touch same one) and exercises alternate between Lunge in place & Monkey Humpers…up to 4…then audible to 5 Plank-o-rama Mosey to east parking lot, then onto tennis courts for Bearimeter: partner up…
