    A party of three showed for the compound movement, block beatdown that’s been delayed several times due to a lack of attendance on Wednesdays.

    Return the coupons, mosey to the flag, and COT. It’s great to be back and always an honor to lead! Boo-Boo out!

  • Charmin and the Runners – from Charmin

    As per usual, the Runners came and killed their workout from Coach Gregg.

    YHC did a nieghborhood lap that felt faster than normal. It may have been the cooler air. Here’s to hoping that the weather get’s even cooler!

  • Stretch, Run, and Whatever KB was Gettin’ Done – from Bolt

    YHC got a HC from Pillsbury the night before, making him a Kotter and thus, there was no backing out of the gloom this rainy morning. The S&M crew found the marathon preppers fast at work well before the disclaimer as we made our way to the pavilion with a guest appearance by KnOTS’ own Scantron. KB brought toys and flailed about as the S&M crew did their thing.
    We reassembled in the rain for COT; honored as always.

  • Veteran’s Day: 11/11 Must be 11s – from Bolt

    YHC fartsacked more than acceptable last week so seeing an empty Q sheet meant only one option—Q. The inscribed bat signal illuminated Slack and 4 pax headed the call, including a hobbled KB and a less and less rare Rev Sox return. Potable phone charger in hand at 5:29:57 and flag planted for the 5:30 disclaimer and mosey to warmup pad for Abe SLOWgodas, after which Charmin noted something was noticeably missing while silence was noticeably present—had enough of the 2.1a port fed the electronic overlord? “YES” was the answer—so JBL jumped to life with the requisite song to get us through the balance of the warmorama:
    R/L Tie Fighters x 10
    OH claps x 10
    Seal claps x 10
    MNC x 10
    Self Love x 10 (school Charmin on the nuanced difference from Michael Phelps)
    Open/close the gate x 5 of each/leg
    SSH x 20
    Mosey to JPAX for 11s on 11/11 which of course requires a playlist deviation (Sousa’s greatest hits)—and Frac missed it!

    The Thang:
    10 burpees
    Run up stairs
    1 box jump
    Run down ramp for –1/+1
    Circle 6 and recover

    Back to warmup pad for Mary, rotate circle with pax-called exercise for 1 minute each:
    Scuba/flutter kicks
    Freddie Mercs
    Single leg, straight leg wife pleaser
    Dealer’s choice plank with switch on Charmin’s timed call
    COT including Pledge of Allegiance
    Honored to lead, men.

  • Good to see people – from Charmin

    As usual, YHC arrived to find the runners there early and even a few KnOTters. By the time 5:30 arrived, Boo-Boo was there to ruck, in addition to bringing news that Bolt would be arriving shortly.

    After going around the track and finding all the gates locked, we met with Bolt on the track and realized that our neighborhood time would need to be brief.

    On YHC’s way back, we saw a Rougarou leaving saying that he’s finally had it with walking backwards. “Why can we walk forwards, and get to our stretching spot quicker?” he muttered under his breath before crossing over the train tracks.

    COT ended with praying for all those struggling physically, but more importantly mentally. Don’t hesitate on reaching out to fellow Pax.

  • Keep on keepin on – from Charmin

    74 degrees F
    89 Days Injury free at CN

    1 Pax in the Gloom.

    Figuring all the other pax stayed up too late to try and catch all the electoral college votes that they could, YHC decided to Ruck around LaSalle.

    2.25 miles in 44 minutes.

    COT was short and sweet.

    See yall tomorrow!

  • Monday BLIMP Ladder – from Bolt

    Space Cowboy had to call out in IR in Slack which prompted a call for HCs and with that, YHC’s fate was sealed…plates the flag and as 530 struck, the disclaimer was given to the four other pax who showed. Off to the warmup pad for Abe SLOWgodas, R/L Tie Fighters, OH and Seal claps finished with self love before PP/PP, LSS, and MMPGM since the chaos monkey was here. Finish with Morning Calls before heading to JPAX for BLIMP ladder with a crab walk circuit around the two concrete benches before starting the next round, adding a letter/exercise and five reps:
    5 Burpees
    10 Lungers 2:1
    15 Imperial Walkers 2:1
    20 Merkins
    25 Plank Jacks
    30 Squats
    Mosey back to warmup pad for Mary
    1 minute/exercise, pax choice: X factor, reverse plank (hold that dime, boys!), Freddie Mercs, wife pleasers, flutter kicks. COT

  • All Hallow’s Eve – from Charmin

    KB and YHC pulled up at a little before 5:20 to see a herd of runners running away from the proverbial flag and all of their cars taking up valuable parking space. The days of a Lakeview Clown Car were apparently over.

    With just KB, Vagabond, and YHC at the flag at the start time we felt a rumbling, before we knew it, the herd had surrounded us. It felt like a reenactment of the Mufasa Death scene in the 1994 classic, The Lion King. Before we realized what had happened Vagabond was taken away and the herd had left.

    KB was nursing a sore ankle and not to leave a fellow pax behind, we went to his car to lift some heavy things. Turns out, the heavy things included, but is not limited to:

    a bike
    a 80 lb sandbag
    20 lbs of laundry (unsure if clean or not)
    a 65 lb kettlebell
    a 15 lb ruck weight (this was found in the pocket of said laundry)
    and some manner of creature that I dare not describe.

    After lifting some of the weights around, Triple showed up; apparently he sensed the dirty laundry.

    Nearing the end of our weight lifting session, we could hear the lackadaisical languishing of the runner herd; apparently they could start 10-15 minutes before hand, but could run all the way to 6:15.

    We ended up with 16 Pax including Vagabond who reappeared unharmed (or rather no worse off than before)

    COT involved some education on today’s festivities originally being called All Hallow’s Eve referencing All Saint Day tomorrow and continuing on to All Soul’s Day the day after.

  • The One and Only – from Charmin

    Waking up this AM, YHC could feel the fartsack calling, however, knowing that there would be other PAX in the gloom was the motivation needed to beat the battle of 15 degrees.

    That would be proven untrue at 5:30. Realizing that there wasn’t any mublechatter the night before, YHC stepped up to lead since no one else was.

    The PAX moseyed over to JPAX and did the following warm-o-rama:

    10 Abe-Slow-Goda/Pendulums
    10 second hold for Arm Stretches (Both Sides)
    16 Arm Circles, Forward & reverse.
    10 Seal Claps
    10 Overhead Claps
    10 Chinooks
    10 MNC’s (I’m sure the bystanders enjoyed this).

    The Thang:

    1 minute on/1 minute off
    3 Rounds of Merkins, Right-Leg Step Ups, Left-Leg Step-Ups.

    Downtime was used to gather some facts for a future beatdown when other Pax are present.

    Mosey on over to the Stairs for 3 sets of Uphill Bearcrawls and KnOT walking down.

    KnOT walked all the way back to the warm up pad for about 10 minutes of Mary which consisted of:

    10 x BBSU
    10 x LBC
    10 x Dying Cockroaches
    10 x SLWP (each leg)
    3 x 10 sec hangs
    30 second plank

    COT: Brief and to the point.

  • Monday morning make it up as you go – from PVC

    Mosey to the pad on a nice cool morning.
    Warm up: stretch arms, Abe vigoda, grass grabber, calf scoop, imperial walker, Peter Parker.

    The thang: every one choose an exercise, last
    man is the timer who runs backward to the can while everyone does their exercise. Rotate , 2 rounds.
    Mosey to the JPAC for a round of 11’s: step ups, run up the stairs, monkey humpers then down the ramp.

    Mosey to the COT
