Vegas Sidewalk Stroll
YHC noticed that few, in any, workouts made much use of the Mount’s extensive sidewalk system, typically opting for the various roads, parking lots, and lawns strewn about the AO like Legos after a sibling scuffle (talking about FLOTUS, not my 2.0’s). With sidewalks as the focus, YHC printed out a few exercises and threw […]

Mennonite in the Morning at the Mount
YHC has deep Anabaptist roots from both Menno Simons and Jakob Ammann, so what better than to bring a barn-raising to the Mount? YHC trimmed his Amish beard, donned his simple straw hat, and drove his black buggy to the Mount (aka blue truck, but no brethren were watching). 14 PAX arrive, eager to begin the […]
F3 Granite Falls Q School, Part 3
“Wait . . . there is a third part to F3 Q School? I knew about part one, where we discuss the history, structure and reasoning behind the three Fs over a beer or sweet tea. And, of course, the beatdown portion was a no brainer; I knew that was coming. But what is this […]
Seven of Diamonds @ The Mount
COT at 0530 due to several PAX needing to leave early. The importance of Prayer. It not about you! We circled up and had a 30 second prayer for the man to your left and YHC closed us out. YHC posted @ the Dog Pound in Knoxville, TN a few weeks back and was introduced […]

First, a quick warm-up in cadence with 10 side-straddle hops 12 humpies 10 small arm circles 10 reverse arm circles 20 butt kickers 20 high knees Then a mosey to the Clock, for one of my least […]
Mount @ OG
Monday night, Publix threw it out there that he needed to switch Q’s because of vacation. I had a conflict for next Wednesday when I was scheduled to Q, so more than a coincidence it seemed ordained that I would Q at OG this morning. The only problem I had was that I have only […]

Tug of War
Yesterday, I was under instruction by my M to help my 2.3 (Charlie) find a book to read. We were digging through some book shelves and couldn’t find squat that a 10 year old would like. We have a boat load of ones for really young critters by Richard Scary, Dr Seuss, and of course […]

5:30 came in hot and heavy this morning at The Mount. Gotta love this humidity. Blah, blah, blah. Enough about the weather. Warm-up: Good mornings, ATT, SSH, LAC–> RAC, then Flex led us in some iron cross leg stretches. We next moseyed to the block pile doing an Indian Run with squats. PAX at the […]
