Colosseum- to the point
A wet but warm November rain only brought 5 to the Colosseum. Could it be the weather or was it the warning on Twitter that made only a handful show up. Whichever it was it was fun and to the point during this Q. Mumble…

Cards with the Romans
It was a privilege to be invited back to the Colosseum on this brisk Tuesday morning to lead 15 other men in what has become a painful favorite of mine. The Twitter-teasing began a day early and you have to be extremely…

Webb-o-Rama at The Colosseum
14 gathered for another perfect morning that almost didn't qualify as "gloom" given how bright the moon was. Disclaimer was given, and off we moseyed before YHC thought to ask if there were any FNGs. Affirmative. Sir…

Pitbulls in Pajamas - 4 at The Colosseum
Another exercise in backblasting... This one is especially important because there are a lot of guys who want to know what happened. You know how I know that? ONLY 4 OF US WERE THERE. :) I thought that I was marketing…

12 showed up on a nice warm morning at the Colosseum. Disclaimer given and off we went. Warmup laps that included knee pulls, high knees, toy soldiers, butt kicks and karoake. Circle up for COP 20 x SSH 15 x Windmills…

Coliseum - Run Pain Run Pain some more.
There were runner, ruckers, bootcamper and maybe some swimmers in there too but men were coming from all direction at The Coliseum. YHC was there early to do prep work from the downpainment and found some vehicles…

Suicides and Mumblechatter
Started 2 minutes early by giving a ridiculous and poorly executed disclaimer witnessed by "The" Legal Counsel Few more cars and expensive pickup trucks showed up And we were off at a nice running pace to a COP with a…

Burpees and People's Donkey Balls
29 PAX took the DRP from YHC this morning at the Colisseum. About 9 posted knowing that YHC was the Q and wanting a quality beatdown, the other 20 didn't know YHC was in charge. Some thought about making it to another…

Calf Raises and Mid-Year Review!
13 showed up for the beat down and 3 for Hog & Coyote prep at The Colosseum this AM. YHC had the home Q this morning and the mumble chatter started immediately (didn't take long to quiet them down). The Thang: COP WM x…

Broken Pyramid with the MOB
It's not everyday you get to Q at another Region's AO (unless your name is CSPAN), so when you get a personal invite, you answer the call! I had the opportunity to post quite a few times last year when F3 Bluffton was…

Finding the Why Part 1
"The Why": for what reason or purpose do you act. What drives us and drives others? Inspire others by starting with "The Why". 31 studs took a wrong turn and ended up at GHMS. Gloom conditions were like Santini's hair…

What Goes Up Surely Comes Down
Apparently there is an old riddle that asks "What goes up but doesn't come down?" Some may know the answer but I'll get to that later. For our case at the Colosseum this week, the exercise count went up and never looked…

Back on home turf
There are many things I want to say about the opportunity to Q but I said this morning and for those in attendance, you know how important it is to me. I was hoping to get 10-12 guys joining me today but to have a total…

How about a little Yoga beforehand?
For the first time in a few weeks YHC wasn't scheduled to be I RGH and post at The Forge and when Maximus asked for volunteers, I was honored to step up and get back to Qing. I know the reputation at this AO is to…

Post P200 at Colosseum
First post for many following P200. Other men better than me sacked up and ran or lifted heavy things yesterday. Me? I slept. But not today. I had the conch and I wanted to get back to basics. Back to strength. With a…

18 for Wall Crawling at the Colosseum
YHC arrived at the Colosseum just in time to see the pre-runners coming in. Crash was with them and gave us a quick joke about not wanting to attend so he was leaving. Part of that was true, he did have to leave for a…

It may have been wet, but at least it wasn't cold!!
As I sat in my truck at 5:10, I looked over at Pusher (still in his vehicle), and said "looks like your gonna be my partner today." Luckily CSPAN, Hasslehoff, and Crabcakes (a few minute late) rolled in as well avoiding…

Hey - Everyone Loves Bear Crawls!
10 strong men headed into the cold hard gloom this morning to get better - one bear crawl at a time. Needless to say - they were crowd pleasers. NMMS: Little baby jog to the "grass area" in front of the school for…

0515 at The Colosseum...
Is it that time already? I was expecting more rain this AM. It's been raining around here lately. A LOT. I had almost forgotten what it was like to post without the sky pouring on us... At least it was still muddy…
