The Mayoral Race
“Outstanding people have one thing in common; an absolute sense of MISSION.” – What is your Mission? The demographic this morning was older than usual, if not for me the average age would have been close to ‘respect, respect.’ Nonetheless – everybody put in some good work. After all, you don’t make it to, ‘respect’ […]
Hard Work Pays Off
“Isn’t it a wonderful thing to be a Christian” – My prof at seminary today. Last night as I lay in bed tossing and turning, I remembered that I was Qing in the morning. Thankfully, I had a workout I have been wanting to abuse the Pax with for a while. Warmarama: Mosey around the […]
Morning Wood’s Deuce in the Dark
This workout is dedicated to making fun of and mourning the loss of Deuce, our comrade who moved to a new AO. The flag never got planted but many warnings were given. The PAX ran a lap and then picked up a straggler, Mo-town.

The Best Qs Steal
“In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.” – I betchya didn’t know this was in the Bible The Q gave a three second warning that the workout was about to begin. 3…2…1. We were off to […]
Guinea Pigs
It was a grim, foggy morning. The Q warned the PAX that they would be experimented on, but they did not seem to think much of it. The clock struck 5:30 and they all moseyed around the parking lot and circled up under a dim street light: Warmarama: SSH IC 3 Burpees Low Slow Squat […]
Military Meltdown
Today we tested ourselves against the Army’s PFT standards, except the Q forgot to bring the charts to see how we did so it was a bit anticlimactic. At least it was nice weather. Warmarama: Mosey around the parking lot SSH IC x20 3 burpees 8 inch warms Low Slow Squats IC x15 The Thang: […]
Football Practice
In preparation for football this Thursday we did a football themed workout at the village. As usually I received some strange looks and a sympathetic “sorry” as I introduced myself as “Morning Wood” to our honored passporter Hot Wheels. After giving the disclaimer we moseyed a quarter mile to start our warm up football in […]
Running in the Dark
After discovering that Deuce and Big Tuna were passporting around at some other AO, Morning Wood had the group take-off in a slow mosey towards the very dark track behind the middle school. Eventually he gave a disclaimer. After some high knees, butt-kickers, and Karaoke we made it to the track were we began our […]
You Call that a SPRINT??
Man it was great to see our friend Deuce back out there today even though he delivered some sad news after the workout! Mosey around the roundabout and back with some footwork drills thrown in. Every Minute on the Minute for 14 minutes: Odd minutes – Sprint 20 yards and lunge walk back. Even minutes […]
