Skunky Diesel

Date: 2025-07-18 AO: mountain-goat Q: retread PAX: Insomniac, jello, Pele, retread, Spammer, lois, gullah, sledge, mallcop FNGs: None COUNT: 9 THE THANG: 1 mile warmup down 51 to Arboretum View. In addition to the unbearable humidity, pax were subjected to a motorist partaking in some very skunky stuff. Who is doing this at 5:20 AM?!! We ran the 0.83 mile Arbo View lap a few times before returning to SCMS. 5+ miles on what felt like the most uncomfortable morning of the summer. COT: Insomniac

Insatiable

Date: 2025-07-12 AO: run Q: tuck PAX: Doublemint, HazMat, toolbag, woodson, turkey_leg, Green Label, midriff, Franky FNGs: None COUNT: 9 After running to 2 Chick-fil-A’s last week the pax’ hunger for mor chikin became insatiable. Green Label spent his nights poaching chickens from Polly’s backyard and midriff hid himself under a free-standing Mountain Dew display at the Blakeney Harris Teeter so he could feast on leftover rotisserie chicken after closing time. Things were getting out of hand. For the safety of myself and my family I had no choice but to placate the pax by creating the Eat Mor Chickin route. 8 men joined me at CR, and I immediately knew something was off. I attempted some small talk about the weather with Franky but he just stared at me blankly, and after a few seconds of awkward silence grunted “dark meat”. I thought that was odd but before I could even process it toolbag caught my eye. He was crouched over a discarded CFA sandwich wrapper and was stroking it with just his index finger if I recall correctly, repeating “my precious” over and over in a demented voice. If that wasn’t strange enough, Green Label emerged from his car with his face and bare chest covered in chicken blood and feathers. At that moment the clock struck 0600 and it was time to skidaddle. The Eat Mor Chikin route includes every chicken restaurant in the tri-state area. Here are some examples: – Viva Chicken Waverly – Chick-fil-A Waverly – Chick-fil-A Stonecrest – Super Chix Stonecrest – Pio Pio Blakeney – Chick-fil-A Blakeney
We ran for what felt like days. At each stop the boys got their fill. I stayed outside with Huck, but I could hear the screams. I can still hear the screams. They haunt me. ANYWAY we finished the run, all went to counseling and now everything is back to normal. Whew! What a week. See you at the next installment of Chicken Run.

“why is it so steamy outside”

Date: 2025-07-18 AO: joust Q: Benny PAX: header, Mr. Magoo, O’Tannenbaum FNGs: None COUNT: 4 WARMUP: After a proper veteran disclaimer was given for a light crowd today saying if ya want you can sue ductwork for being on a fishing charter thought that probably wouldn’t work off we went towards the lacrosse field area. After a quick cop of IW, Windmill, SSH and LSS it was time for the main event. THE THANG: The workout was broken up into 5 segments
Segment 1: Starfish workout: Middle of the lacrosse field: 10 LBCS Corner 1: 10 Monkey Humpers Corner 2: 10 Diamond Merkins Corner 3: 10 Jump Squats Corner 4: 10 Dry Docks
Segment 2: 7s 6 LBCs at the closest soccer goal area to the main entrance, run to the other soccer goal post do 1 merkin. Rinse and repeat till you’ve done 1 lbc and 6 merkins meet back in the middle of the lacrosse field
After learning from header where the rock pile was we made our way towards the Ultimate boys for the next piece of the workout. Segment 3: Jack Webb with lifting rock, we went up to 4 slow merkins and 16 air presses then worked our way back down.
Segment 4: 2 sessions of bench work 10 Dips 10 Step Ups each leg 10 incline merkins Second time switch the incline merkins for derkins
Segment 5: We made our way down to the track for the final segment, one lap around the track all you got. Followed by running 100 meters twice ayg before making our way back to launch. At this point pretty sure Mr. Magoo and O’Tannenbaum were wondering why did they agree to come to this workout after Basecamp on Monday.
MARY: Flutters followed by Protractor till time was called. Done mileage was just under 2.5 miles on the day with lots of core work mixed in ANNOUNCEMENTS: Horsey half in august still time to sign up on slack though getting a tshirt is tbd at this point if you haven’t signed up yet. COT: Header with the takeout
Small but mighty group today, lots of mumble chatter even Pudin Pop was mentioned even though he wasn’t there. Was thinking it might just be Header and YHC at first but happy Mr. Magoo and OT made it on over. Everyone worked hard out there, don’t make it out to this AO very often but I enjoy every time I do.

Friendly Fire

Date: 2025-07-18 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: Spyglass PAX: MARTA, David Baker, Fruity Pebbles, Chandelier, Crawdad, Paris, Spyglass, Steve Hall, Victoria, Wu Tang is for the children FNGs: None COUNT: 15 WARMUP: Showed up to Fresh giving us a full update on what’s happening in the big leagues. After accepting we were looking at a humble but respectable 12 pax, we jauntered down to the field. Not sure which reaction was more underwhelming, the response to the unveiling of the new big boy sized, custom F3 pennies or Paris answering the call of crawdad and showing up to save the day on numbers.
THE THANG: pretty even matchup today. Game started close, but yellow had a string of careless turnovers and drops in the middle part of the match. Vicky made some questionable decisions (this time on the field), yours truly threw a drive opener directly into the ground, and FNG JPEG dropped an endzone dime. But the smell in the air changed around the midway point of the fourth quarter. Yellow turned it up. Pink clawed to keep the lead but yellow ultimately tied it to force an ultimate point. With both sides touching the disc on ultimate point, it was a Vicky tuddy that ultimately slammed the coffin shut on a marvelous comeback. Walking off, Marta threw a few friendly fire zingers in the direction of fruity, claiming his heart was simply not in it, nor were his legs. It’s been said that Marta is the Dillon Brooks of Friday Friz.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: welcome FNG JPEG. Popsicles upcoming via mom and dad (ie Fresh and Marta).
Yellow (winners) Spy Jpeg Peaches Paris Vicky Fly Biden Wu-tang
Pink (losers) Wario Marta Fresh Chandy Fruity Fresh Crawdad
