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.

May the Pollen Be with You.

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.

Happy Birthday, Dawg!

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

Conditions: high 50s and breezy

FNG: They were too scared to show up.

Warm-up: Dropping a deuce at the Speedway.

The Thang: Men gathered. Men used their legs to get from point A to point B and back to point A. Some did it on a bike. Some did it until a weighted backback. Some went from their car to Starbucks and back to their car.

Moleskin: The paper kind are about $15-$20 on Amazon. The foot padding kind are about $5-$10, also on Amazon.

Devo: Cherish your wives. Pour into them (if you’re mind is in the gutter, it’s ok, that’s Biblical between a husband and his wife.) Treat them like you did when you were trying to date them. Spend the same time and effort keeping her as you did when you were trying to get her.

Here are the resources I mentioned:

Conditions: Just right for High Stick.

Warm-Up: The heater in High Stick’s truck.

The Thang: High Stick did it.

Moleskin: All the matters is High Stick was present and account for. Should someone blame him for a crime during this time, I, Steven “Floppy” Infinger, will state that he was indeed at The Creamer. However, if the crime is being the nicest guy, then he is in fact guilty as charged.

The Thang:

One biked.

Temp: a brisk low 70s

Humdity: Less than it’s been

Warm-up: dropping a deuce before leaving the house

The Thang: We had runners, we had a biker, we had ruckers led by Cadre C. Slicker.

Moleskin: KY is never leaving. He loves us too much. Welcome FNG Richard Ringler, now known as Mr. Burns.

Temp: 75

Warm-Up: Warming up is for the leftovers and romantic evenings

The Thang: Turns out this was just the Alson loop with a little extra around the train tracks. It was less creative than YHC thought.
