[The Castle] The Castle – Freedom 250 (or 300)

Date: 2026-07-04 AO: The Castle Q: hambone , PAX: Flipper, Pep, Juicy J, hambone, Fabuloso, Horizon, Makita (Anderson Fader) FNGs: None COUNT: 7 CONDITIONS: Summer Gloom–hazy, muggy, daunting. Horizon showed up guns-out, and Pep made a comment about him being good-looking or something #truthnugget
WARMUP: run. stop. warm-o-rama. I’m proud to announce that Juicy J did his first Hillbilly’s ever; I’m proud to spread North Country culture. Flipper had objections, though unstated, about 50 squats being “a warmup exercise”.
THE THANG: Dora-focused. Team up. 100 push ups, 200 squats, 300 sit ups. Run about .35 miles in between. Makita (Anderson Fader) started out with blazing speed, but I think the chatter with Juicy J slowed him down. If Mak ever shows up to coffee, we’ll help him with that stamina.
MARY: Finish with SITUPS. YHC gave the crew a warning to take a break, and Fabuloso kindly thanked YHC for such a proper warning before we closed out with some Mary. Pep said “WhUt’S tHE PoiNT? We’RE jUSt guNna gO uNtIL tIMe!” and in fact we did not. But we did bang out 50.
COT / MOLESKIN: Freedom isn’t free. We thank God for the small opportunity that we have to get a shot to live free. Rent is due everyday, and it starts with our health and fitness. May there be 250 more years for our country.
