What she said

WARMUP:
THE THANG: 10+3 got Hived as I visited the DMZ and gave a KB lesson.
– <@U05RN7GSDLH> , <@U0904HV02BY> , and <@U05K5D10AG6> rucked it out. I believe that most of the world’s problems got solved, but as capitalists, you’ll have to pay to find out the answers.
– <@U03B9G9BXJM> came dressed for a chilly golf outing, complete with puffy jacket. Guys gave him a lot of crap, but they don’t have sensitive nipples, so they don’t get it.
– <@UGU3XR5RP> was in typical form. That means it was a non-stop stream of working hard at both the exercises and giving me a hard time.
– <@U087NCUTMPT> has HCed to bringing an additional 50 lb KB to the Hive from now on for those who are interested. So… no one.
– <@U19FA0Q8Z> is a grown-ass man. NOT a grown ass-man. Hyphens matter.
– <@UGYDCTRST> gave me a normal fist bump at the end, and after checking his temp (rectally, of course) to make sure he wasn’t ill, he recognized where he went off the rails and gave me the normal Slash treatment.
– <@U5DBBKTE0> was the standard and helped us with our form. That was the focus this morning, doing the right things the right way. When that’s the theme, he’s the go to.
– <@U0A25GTDDEJ> has his foot on the accelerator. But he’s not redlining yet. He wins the Helmet award for my favorite guy that had his VQ this week at Ring of Badgers (Fire).
– <@U06P97NSX17> was the sole representative from the Gaggle of Degenerates. Especially since the King of the Degenerates (<@USBP08L1G>) was occupied elsewhere.
– <@U5DKASDQU> was the WarDaddy today (see previous bullet as to why). On a side note, his new retirement gig is developing lesson plans for a new Minnesota Quality Learing Center franchise he’s opening on the WestSide.

This report is true and is able to be copied and pasted into the /slackblast by any man who wants those stats bumped up.

Closeout 2025 before opening 2026

WARMUP: SSH, MCs, Parker Peter, Peter Parker, Plank, L/R planks,. Mosey to back parking lot, cariaco
THE THANG: Muster on the grassy patch in back parking lot where we started, left, and returned a few times. Running took us to the south wall of HT, the tire shop and the north wall of HT in between stops at the grass. Pax fit 100 burpees into the workout in doses of 10. Other fun included bear crawl, crawl bear, crab walks, lunges, various flavors of Mary, and it was all topped off with suicides.
MARY: Included along the way
ANNOUNCEMENTS: New name of HT workouts Wed/Fri is The Forge! also encouragement to register for Break the Dam run on 1/31, plus 8-blocker on Jan 3rd at Panera

This practice always grounds me and give me perspective. It especially deflates anxious thinking/feeling about future and various regrets/shame by providing a very real and visible depiction of the true blessings and joy in my life.

Thanks for the invite Miyagi! Carry on with your mission of forging HIM!

WARMUP:
Quick run up to Hobo’s for some warm-up of a few SSH, IWs, and Mountain Climbers. Most down to the mill stone at the bottom of Main to find the 10×10 board waiting.

THE THANG:
The 10×10 board.
1. Shoulder Taps

3. Mountain Climbers
4. Seal Jacks
5. Hello Dollys
6. Plank Jacks
7. Bomb Jacks
8. Merkins
9. LBCs
10. Burpees

We started with 10 of #1, then ran to the top of Massey, did 1 burpee, then returned to the board. Next round 10 of #1, and 10 of #2, then ran to the top of Massey for 1 burpee (not 2). Continued accumulation until we got through the last item on the board.

That’s all we had time for. Excellent work by all men. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Cubbie!

Welcome to Chilis!

It was a beautiful morn at The Americal Jackal, the mumble chatter was off the charts. All the Q could do to dodge haymakers was lean into it and say thank you sir many I have another.

We ran down to the track for the longest 4 corners EVER! There was a dispute of if there really are corners on a circular track, but that is purely semantics.

I chose the number 8 for no particular reason other than 12 was too many and 6 was too few. It’s science.

Corner 1: 8 Merkins
Corner 2: 8 Squats
Corner 3: 8 Flutters
Corner 4: 8 Burpees

Mode of transport on the curved part of the track was lunges, karaoke, and nurring. Mode of transport on the straight aways was fast paced running.

I would like to say we did all of them, but we only got 6 laps in. So maybe 6 wasn’t too few after all.

We Native American ran back to COT for some Mary, announcement, prayers and praises.

JWow
