Moleskin: YHC tried this weinke about a year ago. There was some tweaks to improve. There’s still work to be done. This weinke will work!

Devo: Yesterday, a large group/mob of Donald Trump stormed and raided the U.S. Capitol. There’s a lot to unpack in our nation. We all have different religious, political, etc. views. Bi-partisanship has done a lot to dictate the thoughts and actions of American citizens. Without calling any one side out I shared 2 Instagam posts from the andcampaign who looks at politics from a Biblical perspective, and left it at that.

Psalm 139 – no matter what God is there. Bad day? He’s there. Great day? He’s there. You’re pissed off and want to tell Him? He’s there to listen. Concerned about (fill in the blank)? He’s there. 

 

Moleskin:

With Covid-19 upon us we did our best with social distancing, no sharing coupons, and nodoing partner work. This was a variation from another wienke I had for St. Patrick’s Day, that allows everyone to go at their own pace and choose their own destiny.. It started as a Chadwick Boseman themed work out, but that was tricky, so we broadened it to the Avengers. Glad to see good numbers at my favorite BC AO. Welcome, FNG Baby Fat.

Devo: 

Many churches are moving to online because of the virus. Remember, church isn’t a one time a week event, it’s a gathering of believers for worship. However, you do it, just do it.

Also, if everyone in your house is stuck inside, take a chance to spend some time with them. How often do you get to have lunch  together? This is your chance to take time and make memories.

 

Moleskin:

With Covid-19 upon us we did our best with social distancing, no sharing coupons, and not doing partner work. Well those were all of the things YHC planned on doing. If we can’t come up with other workout ideas, then the virus wins. Luckily, it’s St. Patty’s Day and YHC loves a themed weinke. Today was a chance for the Pax to choose their own destiny when hunting down the leprechauns. Sometimes, they’d get away, and other times they’d fight back. A hefty amount of cardio, and how ‘bout them monkey humpers?

Weather: 60 and pollen

Warm-Up: rolling out of bed

The Thang: Pax had the option for the 5-Points, the stadium loop, and any other loop that worked for you.

Moleskin: We were all pretty sleepy when we got out of our cars, but we all have March Madness and wanted the miles.

Weather: Raining and high 50s

FNGs: Too scared

Warm-up:

  • Mosey to some shelter so we don’t melt
  • Random numbers of TTT, Imperial Walkers, and SSH
  • Mosey down the road until there was a big puddle to run through
  • Random numbers of Don Quixote
  • Mosey around the block (AKA the gameboard)

The Thang:

  • Split into two teams and head to the block pile
  • One team get 2 bricks each. The other team get 1 block each.
  • Mosey to the start of the “game board” and drop off coupons
  • A bag of large dice magically appeared! Oh man, each team gets their own pair!
  • Take advantage of the spray painted numbers and lines on the road from the Summerville Christmas Parade
  • Each team rolls their dice and advanced the number of spaces as the number on die. Roll the other die that has various exercises written on it that include:
    • Die 1 – Abs
      • burpees
      • LBCs
      • Peter Parkers
      • Flutter Kicks
      • American Hammer
      • Pax Choice
    • Die 2 – Legs
      • Monkey Humpers
      • Calf Raises
      • Jump Squats
      • Squats
      • Lunges
      • Pax Choice
  • The number of reps was determined by adding the numbers on the space that you landed on and doubling it. For example, if you landed on a space that had 204 written on it then it’s 2+0+4 = 6 then multiply by 2, so 12 reps.
  • When one team reached the end of the street we switched dice to vary the exercises.
  • The first team to make it back to start got to choose whether to take the new brick dice or the block dice. We chose bricks, leaving the blocks for the other team.
    • Repeat using the bricks or blocks for the next round of exercises (they were all arm and upper body exercises)
  • Due to time we made it about half way down the street and had to stow the coupons.
  • Mosey back to the flag
  • With a few minutes left it pays to be a winner with a Floppy Favorite, Showgirls! The winning team held people’s chair while the losers did 39 tricep dips off their legs. Did YHC mention it was his 39th birthday? It is (or was depending on when you’re reading this)

Moleskin:

  • The rain added a layer of suck. YHC being rusty from not Qing in so long added a layer of confusion suck. The competition and unknown variety of exercises added a layer of fun suck. Examples included a set of 32 jump squats followed by 30 monkey humpers followed by 24 jump squats. Oh Lawd! Also, the 18 burpees sucked too. There’s some tweaking to do but overall it’s was a pleasantly sucky experience.

Devo:

No matter your political views, the next 4 years will be interesting, but either way God knows and has a purpose. Trust Him.

Weather: 70 degree February day with the occasional breeze

FNG: not today

Warm-Up: It’s 5:00, let’s go…started with a jog with various stops for SSH, TTT, baby arm circles, and overhead claps (in front of the window at the Y) that ended at the Concrete Beast.

The Thang: A garage workout in the spirit of the Shocker.

  • Top level: 25 merkins and LBCs
  • Go down a level: 24 Peter Parkers and American Hammers
  • Take stairs to the bottom: 23 Squats and hold plank for 23 seconds
  • Run to the entrance: 22 monkey humpers and pax’ choice of 22 Carolina Dry Docks or 44 Brick Curls
  • Run up to the top and do all exercises again dropping the count by 1 at each level
  • Head back to the AO stopping at various points for Flutter Kicks, Monkey humpers and some calf raises that burned

Mary: Nothing, the 6 walked up right at the time to finish

Devo: YHC was the Summerville Q of the Year in 2017. March 22, 2018 was his last boot camp Q. The creativity juices were gone. They’re finally coming back. It’s ok to not be ok, as long as you don’t stay there.

Moleskin:

As mentioned above, YHC used to Q a good bit, but then went MIA from the boot camp Q sheet for almost two years due to creativity blocks, person goals, and injuries. I decided 2020 is the year to get back at it. The magic date was going to be my birthday on February 25th, but Milton posted late last night he needed a Q. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for a few weeks. I pulled one out and told him I’d take it. I didn’t tell anyone or post a pre-blast.  As I walked up I heard pax asking who the Q was supposed to be. I ran up, said Floppy has the Q, and off we went. The way I saw it this was the secret concert to get ready for the big tour. It’s reserved for a select few…the tip of the spear. Were there some mistakes in calls? Yep. Did the pax bring the mumble chatter? Yep. Did pax say they hated and enjoyed the workout? Yep. Are the creative juices back? Come out to Seismic on February 25th to find out. Thanks to all of the men that showed up today. If nothing else I’m glad to hear that Bob the Builder still can’t count and still turns around when little baby circles backwards is called.

Conditions: High 70, clear, HUMID

Humidity: Satan’s thick fart

Warm-Up: Step out of car

The Thang: Modified Alston loops (big and small)

Moleskin: YHC used to run North Maple on Sunday mornings before Nexton Parkway was fully build. I’ll be darned if people aren’t using that road at 0500 on a Monday. Safety is no accident. It was nice to have a big group for my first time back Qing at Tremor in about 3 months. I don’t remember it being that humid last time. Great job putting in some work men. Bellator for the double down (BEAST).

Conditions: Mid 40s and clear, except for the pollen

Warm-up: that fart in the car on the way over

The Thang: The Black Friday Route. Leave AO and head up Jingle’s Hill, turn left on Central and run to the end, turn right then left on Main street, turn into Azalea Square and run from McAlister’s to Kohl’s then back out to Main Street, turn at Wells Fargo and head back to the AO (5 miles).

Devo: Ask your spouse or loved one what’s a dream they have that you can fulfill once a week, once a year, and once in their life time. Make it your challenge to fulfill each dream.

Moleskin: dark and velvety.

Conditions: low 60s, clear except for a pollen haze

Warm-up: saying good morning as we get out of our cars

The Thang: a 1.5 mile warm up around the Alston loop to the bottom of Jingle’s Hill then 4 hill repeats up and down Jingle’s Hill to Gooses’s hill, then a slow run around the AO and back for 3 more hill repeats.

Moleskin: last night’s rain did a good job of washing all of the pollen away, but it was in full force during the run. As we turned on our headlamps you could see it floating in the air and just coating you. If I didn’t know it was pollen I would have thought I was misting or we were running in hyper drive. The layer of green on my shorts at the end proved it was just nature’s reproductive juice.

Conditions: 48 degrees and clear by the light houses’s watch

Warm-up: Turn on the heater in the car

The Thang: The Triple Diamond route



Moleskin: Today, is YHC’s 38th birthday. There’s no time to run 38 miles today so the challenge was put out to have the men of Tremor work together to get 38 or more combined miles. They were up for the challenge with 9 men getting in 5 miles and 3 men getting 4-4.5 miles. Goals met and surpassed. It was a pleasure to speak with Snowden via long distance cellular telephonic device before he started his run in Blythewood. Another memorable moment were the 2 pit bulls that protected most of the runners on the Alston loop portion of the run. They did a lot of mouth breathing, and weren’t great at pacing themselves, but the expert was once the beginner, ammiright?

Miles completed by DT: 0.0
