Racing Through October (IND)

Just the facts today; no time for dilly-dallying. Important announcements below.

Workout:

Race Day. ‘Nuff said… On second thought, I want any newbie readers to be able to brag to co-workers about what they put themselves through this morning, so here’s what you did today: Up-n-over (uno), 50 sit-ups, uno, 50 push-ups, uno, 50 mtn climbers ea leg, uno, 25 burpees, uno. By the way, AWESOME job showing up and toeing up this morning by our first timers and by all those who nailed down a new PR (looking at you, Kitty and JoeyMac, each shaving off over a minute!!!). Shout-out to our selfless, always helpful “pilot” runners guiding others through the Race Day gauntlet! read more

Mirth, Friend[s], & Fire[d Up People]

That title’s a bit of a stretch, but so was the link between backwards lunges and BBQ; for those that missed that fantastic witticism, here it is again: “Those in the workout world call these babies[, referring to backwards lunges here,] bbq backsides because they’re best done looooowwww and slooooowwww.” …It beats calling them pork butts I guess. read more

Indianapolis (IND)

…A place to live, laugh, love, and smile. Bringing all that Hoosier hospitality this morning was a stellar couple of workout warrior groups full of early morning energy! NP_IND: better (and cheaper) than coffee.

Workout:

Four stations: shooting stars and reach-for-the-sky push-ups on the north platform, lunge between, and high knees up on the east upper followed by a trip down the stairs and back up to leap frogs (and wall sits while you wait) on the west upper. Do that schtuff on repeat. read more

Knocked the Lights Out (IND)

Absolutely stellar Race Day performances today!!! Collectively knocked the lights outta that workout with tons of PRs, great numbers at both workouts, high energy, and strong newbie showings, especially for such a rough workout (nice work, newbies and recruiters)! Some folks worth recognizing by name: Blake (hit his sub-15 min mark; woah!), Andrew (sub-16!), Anne, Morgan, and Beth (all shaved time like it grows on Jaden’s face). Awesome job! For any others that PR’ed or know of a friend that PR’ed, please give them and/or yourself a shout-out in the FB pics (and tag yourselves)!!! Maybe it was the news coverage or maybe it was the cool air, but whatever got people so fired up and PR-poised, lets get it going again next month! read more

Eclipse Sunglasses (IND)

PSA: Don’t stare at the sun, but don’t get duped by phony bologna (odd[er] phrase written than spoken) eclipse glasses peddlers; they’ll getcha, much like this workout did most everyone. Woah! What an ass-kicker. And that humidity, it’ll getcha [it’ll’ve gotcha?] too. read more

A Beautiful Bunch, A’ripe Banana (IND)

Daylight come when you do-a the crunch…-a . . .  “I do the cha-cha like a sissy girl. I lik-a do da cha-cha.” I’m sorry we seem to be having some technical difficulties. In other news . . . [breaks wind].

Here we go; back on track: Workout was great. A few dips, a few trips around the sun, a few hops, and a few push-up drops. E’ry day we were shuffling, and er day we were on a boat crunching. If none of that makes any sense, it either means you weren’t at the workout or I wrote it, or both. read more

Hot. Summer. Butts. (IND)

Boy oh boy, it’s shaping up to be a SCORCHER. Good thing you were wise enough to beat the heat (ish) and pull that sultry body of yours out of bed before the sun! …Butt the moon was still out. Ha-Haa-Haaa-Haaaalarious joke.

Shout-out to the nubes (newbs?) [rhymes with tubes] that absolutely flooded the Memorial this morning! We loved having you guys and hope to see you back next week (Friday too)! Great job on the recruiting front, ladies and gents!! read more

Sleep? Awnaw, Hell Naw (IND)

To those who combed the thick book of excuses this morning and found nothing appealing, be proud of yourselves. It ain’t easy [being cheesy] convincing your body that little sleep after a partyful weekend is a good idea, but you guys did it and got a hell of a workout as the reward. That’s the thing about NP; even when you feel, look, and smell like shit, you know there will be someone armed with a hug and a smiling face and a thorough ass-kicking to start your mental and physical day off right. We’re happy to do so and love how pumped it gets you guys, especially you, Andrew. Wow!, that guy stole the show today, skipping eight downhill stairs at a time and handing out motivating double high-fives like we were paying him for it. read more

Ey Bae Bae (IND)

Two Baes for the dubliners who had to do that shit twice (also for the two baes Bae had); nice. nice. nice work!!! That is always tough. But what’s tougher is trying to shake that song from your mind. Get out of there, you!

*****Interruption by 6:15 group*****

……You guys hear that shit about 5:30??!! Apparently those early-morning clown-towners worked out during an absolute downpour before we got here! read more

A Very Typical Day (IND)

Nothing to see here… Just a grumpier old man saying, “I’ve had it up to HERE with you; you meddling kids mind your own damn business,” and startling mild-mannered youths.

Waaiiiitttt a tic… I’ve got this all wrong!!! EVERYTHING to see here!

The “older” thing applies, but the “grumpier” definitely does not (except if we’re talking War Memorial staff). And more like “medaling” kids, amIright??!! read more
