  • Sua Sponte – from Charmin

    Pax were encouraged to pick their own path, with a reminder that we need to have a count off and disclaimer before and after the workout.

  • Back at it – from Charmin

    After completing the 1st Grow Run and GRE-41 over the weekend, YHC was eager to get back out to the gloom. Thankfully, Hokie reached out to Bolt to HC since YHC needed stretching. Started with mirroring the KnOTters by walking backwards away from them. While they did their own thing, Bolt and Vagabond heard a recounting of the weekend, along with groans from the much needed stretching. Vagabond added his own gassing from time to time.

    Worked our way back to the shovel flag for some COT where YHC asked for prayers as this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of my father’s sudden passing. Glad to be back in the gloom with brothers.

  • KnOTters all around – from Charmin

    In a rare occurrence, there were no runners. YHC was planning on walking around the park, however when all the HIM’s started their backwards trot, YHC decided a day of Knees Over Toes wouldn’t be the worst thing. Tenderloin showed up early and was speeding around the track already at 5:30. That being said, after 45 minutes (or so) we returned to the Shovel Flag and ended in a COT where we prayed for those intentions spoken and unspoken.

  • Block City – from Mahatma

    Beautiful Morning in Metry
    YHC arrived 5 minutes early and decided to review an article and got side tracked, looking up it had just turned 5:30. With haste YHC jumped out the truck, grabbed 2 blocks from the back and headed to the cage. The Knots crew was already peeling off, and 6 pax awaited…..after a quick disclaimer (while tying shoes) we headed to the field.

    Warm Up variation of count:
    Windmills
    Good Morning Stretch
    Burpees
    SSH
    Mnt Climbers
    Peter Parker Peter

    Head to bleachers – Merkin climb up X 2 then transition to bleacher snake run 3 burpees at the gym end then work our way back 3 burpees on the other.

    Push up ladder with block crucible to finish, rinse and repeat

    Bear Crawl at 5 yard increments from goal line to the 50, then 25 merkins
    Mosey to the other end of the field – then mosey from goal line to the 30 – perform 10 Carolina Drydocks – bearcrawl to the other 30 – 10 more Carolina Drydocks sprint to the goaline.

    Somewhere we did Indian Runs with reverse block pass.

    Then block slide

    Finished with circle of block – curls and tricep extensions

    A little Mary mixed in. Back to the cage with 2 minutes unused – we filled it with 5 Burpees and some gas pumpers

    COT – Be a Good Samaritan

  • Trading places. – from Charmin

    YHC took a different route today, choosing to go with the KNOTers. There were a cornucopia of conversations, from what planets were in the sky, to ways to increase tibia torsion, and the downsides of being a bitcoin mining owner.

    When we came back with mi it’s to spare and saw the runners stretching so maybe they decided not to run. Their leader Pai Gow wasn’t there to tell them what to do so who knows.

    Ended with a COT where we prayed for those suffering.

  • 279th day in Gregorian Calendar – from Pool Boy

    Bogey and I took turns with the beatdown from Monkey Grabbers, Calf Raises to Derkins and Lunges(backwards and Forwards). Too many exercises to name…
    Finished at the Rock Pile with Curls, Rows and squats.
    COT

  • Just Keep Moving – from Charmin

    Talking with Tenderloin after a 2+ miles run, he said that we all just need to keep moving.

  • Push It to the Limit – from Charmin

    Today was about pushing it to the limit, either with running, KnOTibg, or running back to your house for a stretching pad becuase Boo-boo can’t handle the ground.

    Either way, we all came back (with some additional late comers) for the COT. Prayed in thanksgiving for new life and in supplication for those who need help.

  • Running with Friends. – from Charmin

    KnOTer’s aside, it seemed as if most of the Pax today ran with someone at some point. Goes to show that we all cross each others paths at some point.

    COT involved praying for those who are suffering and going through tribulations.
