Tour de Shawshank
YHC is trying to complete 10 Murphs this month and is on #6 today. Why not incorporate it into the WOD? After 100 pull-ups at the Jailbreak shelter and a 3 miler, that was really a 3.25 but a watch malfunction caused Strava not to record it, so it didnt really happen, we got down …
High humidity, low miles at Shawshank
It was a hot one today and the goal was to create a WOD that didn’t involve a ton of running. It being hot was one factor, but I also didn’t want to give Coon Dog any extra miles for he and Duff’s arbitrary mile goal that only they care about. So, bear crawls, lunges, …

Something New at The Arena
Another good day in the world started with another good day at The Arena. YHC was feeling the pressure from the AOQ to produce more one-of-a-kind exercises and a good playlist. No one complained about the music, and the mumble chatter was light considering a transition from half-jacks to SSH, the introduction of Mike Tyson …

Burden Bearers
Posted by Coon Dog on behalf of Shine. The fabled VQ… I probably volunteered a little too fast, but it’s who I am. Didn’t sleep well last night. Felt restless. M asked if I was nervous – which she knew was a ridiculous question. I chuckled out loud and told her “not quite.” She just …
22 of Everything
YHC does the same thing every year. Look at next year’s Q sheet and pick one date per month to lead the gang. Some dates are random, some have a special meaning. Today is one of those days that was life changing. 2/22/2002 started off like any other day. Work, play with kids, enjoy dinner …

Last weekend was an incredible weekend for D2D runners. Shawshank showed up in force and set the roads on fire. Shout out to Paper Jam and Juice for putting on a great event. Nice Job! 3 Pax this morning had not had enough running so they enjoyed a little Full Stride Light. Last night, YHC …

Hollow blocks and solid merkins
The Hollow is always a great AO to visit. It was good to see some pax I have not seen in a while and meet a couple of new ones. Fun times at an old friend. The morning was chilly, the skies were clear, and the desire to get better was in the air. It …
First appearance of the Mystery 12 Ball
YHC’s 2.0 “Monster Jam” gave me an exercise mystery ball a few years back. He was so happy to give it to me. I had good intentions, but put it to the side and was tucked away for too long. I saw it several times digging through things and kept saying I’d use it one …
The Running Man
Weather Conditions: 43° 10 pax took on The Running Man this morning, an idea that is still in very early developmental phases.

New Year/ New Resolution- 2024 Edition
2023 NY resolution workouts at the beginning of each month were so great that YHC decided to rinse and repeat for 2024. Just another way to hold ourselves a little more accountable than the day before. Not that there is any magic sauce to these workouts, but maybe, just maybe, having to tell us whether …
Gift Exchange at The Hollow
Tis the season for a little gift exchange. Today’s workout was of course Christmas based with some different exercises thrown in.

Another Shawshank Q from Cheers
Good times at Shawshank today…as long as you enjoyed the sounds of voices loudly breaking the otherwise eerie silence of empty soccer fields.

A TRIP AROUND THE SOCCER FIELDS
Today was YHC’s third time back at F3 since the knee surgery and first chance to Q. Still cannot run or do a lot of lower body. No problem, we can just concentrate on upper body the whole time. There was mild regret at the idea that my idea was similar to Soaker’s Q on …
Soaker Merkins, Burpees and More
YHC did not have a planned Q until his good buddy, Cheers, texted and asked for the weinke. Cheers, if you know him, does the planned workout on his own when he cannot post at the Shank. This is accountability at its finest. He was informed the workout would include 1,000 burpees and 3 miles …
