5 regulars and 1 visitor (soon to be a regular) posted on a typical Spring morning…err, wait, it is the freaking last day of November…but it was 60 and raining at SOT.  We carried on anyway. YHC was chef for the day and the menu was simple, yet effective: Ciabattas with Merkins chasers.  The goal was to get YHC to his 6,000 merkins goal for the month with 300 merkins today…the rest of the PAX was just along for the Feast. The PAX moseyed through the rain to front of the school to find some overhead cover and to be in…

Four of the faithful posted in pitch blackness this morning at #SOT. There was a chill in the air, and all waited in their cars until the appointed time. Johnsonville (YHC) planted a SF and took Q.

5 SOT regulars posted this warm Fall morning for some SOT gloom to get the blood moving.  The PAX was greeted with the lovely sounds and smells of SOT, including the refreshing bus exhaust fumes that really get the juices flowing.  YHC’s weinke was full so I spared the PAX of the daily mile and got it taken care of before the workout.  YHC came in hot off the track and the workout went something like this: COP = The Gross – 12 exercises, 12 repetitions each, all IC: SSH Imperial Walkers LBCs Don Quixotes Copperhead Squats Flutter Kicks Hillbillies…
