A dirty dozen descended upon Mary to partake in a geriatric-led workout. A variation of Bodos’ old hundred was administered with only a one-quarter of the running distance applied (imagine that). Subsequent activities involved a cross-court-crawls and a triple check. Good to see Noodles sticking with it and dropping is “Kotters” designation. Dad jokes appeared to win out over the NSFW anecdotes administered by YHC. Convergence this weekend marking 11 years of mayhem. The gratitude I have for being part of this organization for over 10 of these years is immeasurable. Saab abides

5 moist studs of the 6pm mist chose The Crossing over comfort and did whatever came to the Q’s mind, as follows: The THANG: WARMERAMA: HP kicked off the warmup reps while the Q arrived a few minutes delayed due to traffic YHC takes over with IC reps of The Opus, Squat Walkers, and a variety of other fine reps to get the PAX warm Mosey the Annex Lot and circle up on the dewy shovel flag mound – absent the SF as YHC arrived late Elbow Plank for a painfully slow review of the F3 Mission, Credo, and 5…

COP – various warm up exercises KB stations – 3 stations (upper body, lower body, core). Rinse repeat, change exercises every 3 rounds. Numbers, names, Surf n Turf took us out.

A platoon of seven HIM’s buried the hatchet into a 3 mile ruck where we explored Bon Iron, went off road, walked the railroad tracks a ways, jumped off tracks and onto a surprise trail, then off trail and over creeks, up hill and down dale, and once back on the roads of Bon Air, we concluded with a neighborhood loop. Our beloved 60 pound sandbag was shared around during the ruck, but the real highlight was coffeerama afterwards discussing the first chapter of Atomic Habits at Einstein Bagels. So let’s go ahead and throw out every idea of setting…
Guess who went to a S of the James F3 sanctioned run? Yep, Bullseye and YHC. No one to report back to, a longer route was opted during the exercise to nearly 5 miles through Salisbury and out Winterfield. Good to get a little extra credit. -Singer
Half dozen FW regulars included 1 SOJ insomniac traveler embraced the wet but cooler than expected conditions that awaited us at Westhoe. YHC is not a fan of cold rain so off we go looking to avoid the wind and minimize the dampness. Mosey to Triangle Park tip for introductions and disclaimers. Warmups included all standing exercises in conversation. Good times, good times. Mosey down Ridge to next intersection to begin a Lindsay. Stops at every intersection down to Westham Station with Carolina Dry Docks & Imperial Walkers as the selected exercises. Headlamps were indeed helpful. Complete Lindsay at the…
