#BoM

  • Cruiser took us out, asking the Sky Q to help make us better husbands, fathers, and men.

#NakedManMoleskin

  • For those keeping track at home, today’s totals were ~2.0 miles and ~450 calories burned with #PlentyOfPain.
  • YHC tried to mix it up a bit today with a good deal of wall work, partner time and hidden miles.  Plenty of rest for the PAX during the 10 rounds of People’s Chair. #ItBurnsSogood
  • On YHC’s jog to The General this morning, he ran into (almost literally) our honorary member Mahjong, who continues his perfect attendance record.  A friendly “hello” was countered by a “good morning” with a sense of familiarity. #ABH
  • Leprechaun reminded YHC and the PAX of his attempt for extracurricular Spartan training after the BoM. 30x Burpees ensued for a dedicated 5 PAX. #JustWhenYouThoughtItWasOver #FinalNailInTheCoffin #TheBurnIsReal
  • Cruiser respectfully observed the extracurricular #BeatDown, but the PAX took it easy on him as he climbed 175 flights (#MountEverest) of stairs yesterday…after a full #BeatDown at The Hogg. #MakinUsLookBad #NoExcuses #OldManStrong
