I wore my reflective vest as I predicted that I would have to play "traffic cop" getting everyone to park on the perimeter of the OPES staff parking Lot - I wanted the center of the Lot cleared of all obstacles. Rosebud was first to enter and it took some heavy encouraging to get him [...]

Curves for Men
I don't have ample time this morning to go into this morning's beatdown, because I have to get on the road shortly. Here is my backblast: Disclaimer, explanation that the workout is supposed to work every major body part (and I think I delivered on that). Warmup-SSH, air squat, lateral air squat, Don Quioxte, weed [...]
Dora 1,2,3,1000
As I drove to the AO this morning with a steady rain hitting my windshield, I told myself that if it was only me and one other pax then I’d suggest some solid second F over some hashbrowns at the Waffle House in lieu of a workout. Surely the rain would deter most of the [...]
It was a Do-ah-Diddy kind of morning…
It was weds late morning when CowTipper notified he could not make the next day's Renegade Q. I waited for any takers then started to plan the workout - Do ah Diddy's were making the cut. I arrived 15 minutes early and enjoyed the quiet gloom, resting on a bench as I only slept about [...]

Ultimate Beach Frisbee
Moseyed to 7th Street and played barefoot ultimate frisbee on the beach. Final score was 8-6 but everyone was a winner with a great workout. Welcome David Britt, aka Flip Phone, from Atlanta.
Arm Circles from Hell
I wanted to do my first Renegade workout without the long distance early morning running (which I hate), do it more intense than a hard run, and that meant intervals of box jumps and shoulder walking (the dreaded Walkdown Merkin and Bear Crawls). And I wanted to show that Arm Circles aren’t just for Warmups anymore…
3 A.L.A.R.M or an almost mayday!
(3) A.L.A.R.M. or an almost mayday! July 22, 2019 I was excited to sign up for a Monday Q but also nervous as it was only my second one. Some new guys would be there as well as a lot more terrain to move about. I had a plan brewing for a few weeks but [...]
Mother Trucker
It's been a while since I last had the Q so when Cowtipper sent me a text about it I replied right away and jumped on it. Stepping up and leading people doesn't intimidate me at all, I've been doing that in various settings for years. What does intimidate me is the idea of letting [...]
Chaos Kickball
YHC had big plans for a big turnout for kickball this morning but ended up with a 6-PAX. When we got to the ballfields, we got ran off by the field crew who were busy dragging the fields for a baseball tournament. So we moseyed to the tennis courts where we were chased off by [...]
