[chubby-hubby] The Official Chubby Hubby

DATE: 2023-03-20 AO: Chubby-Hubby Q: baracus PAX: turkey_leg, Orange Whip, Mr Brady, funky_cold, ductwork, geraldo, baracus, Rhapsody FNGs: None COUNT: 8 The first documented Chubby Hubby took place at least as far back as late 2021. So roughly a year and a half later and we now have the first “on-the-books” version this morning. Credit another Old Bell parking lot run to Horsehead, this one being significantly more kind to the body than the other one that has seen its share of BRR trainees and an occasional strange man in his underwear (and sometimes not) smoking a cigarette at 5:30am while staring down the runners cruising past his driveway. No Chester’s this AM, but the infamous ghost-lady was spotted quietly sneaking past us in the opposite direction…twice.
We had a nice, nearly record crowd this morning. The idea of a recovery run on Monday morning is picking up steam. 4 or 5 flat miles on the greenway is a great way to get the blood pumping and the joints moving after a weekend of working in the yard, watching March Madness, or just doing a few arm curls with your favorite frosty beverage. We hope to see a few more pax join us in the warmer weather coming in the next few weeks.

Busted Brackets, Dry Irish Stouts, and Something Cheaper Taco Bell

DATE: 2023-03-18 AO: Olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: flipper, mighty_mite, Pelosi, The Worm, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 6 It was a clear, brisk morn with a soupçon of warmth. Fresh from a night celebrating the patron saint of Ireland, the Pax were feeling crispy and providing organic heat as needed. With nothing more than Joe Daniels’ rolodex of punishment and a wireless speaker, we rode off into the darkness primed for a beatdown.
WARMUP: SSH, 10x swings, prying squats, 10x swings, arm circles, 10x swings
THE THANG: #1 EMOM – Thrusters 2 e/s for 12x revolutions #2 AMRAP – Tyler’s W Complex – 6x 30 sec. each #3 Inverse Ladders – 7 merkins + 1 renegade row…to…1 merkin and 7 renegade rows #4 Somersault Squats – 40x #5 Carry Complex – Waiters, 20x swings, Suitcase, 20x swings and then repeat #6 EMOM – 5 rows + 3 half snatches (e/s) for 4x revolutions
MARY: As Dr. Hannibal Lecter likely said to his vegan patient, “unfortunately, we’re out of time.” No Mary today, but Radiohead took us out with “High & Dry” as we walked to the COT.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: No major events of note, except prayers for the Pax and nebulous hints of yet-to-be-planned blood drives sometime in the future.
COT: As per custom, we joined The Rock to take us out.
MOLESKIN: Great to see @Toto join in the fun today, but less great to see the lip caterpillar that @Pelosi was growing – YHC was assured it will be removed later today. @The_Worm and @Flipper regaled us with tales of Guinness-aided St. Patty’s revelry. Finally, @mighty_mite informed us of the culinary delights of Del Taco, while @voodoo was somehow heckled by The Rock without even being here for his alma mater’s poor performance. YHC stayed silent given whatever that was that the Heels did this season.
