  • Gerry Meandering…

    A formidable 15 descended upon Mary to see what geriatric-friendly workout would be dispensed. After paying homage to the Esther Williams and the Land O Lakes butter lady, the pax partook in the following:

    • Run out and back stopping for burpees while partner performs rotation of dips, derkins,and incline merkins.
    • Triple check: balls to wall, WWIIs, Bernie out and run back
    • Descending Dora’s: LBC’s (300), Flutters (200 2-count), Merkins (100)
    • Courts: Bear Crawls, Crab Walks, Polar Bears, Crawl Bears…stopping in between the course for a few minutes of Mary (abs)
    • Finish with some burpees

    NMS: This is the most extensive BB YHC has composed in a long time given no one reads these. Why the change in heart you ask?, it is because Splinter guilted me into it.

    Kotters to SugarSock…please stick with it and don’t be a stranger

    Remember, nothing lasts but everything lingers

  • FTLOBD

    With a lethargic dissemination of the running routes, the pax proceeded to cover their chosen distances.

    To those I inadvertently added to the pax list…you’re welcome. To those I omitted, feedback is welcome

  • The Magnificent Seven…

    …posted to Mary expecting a geriatric friendly Q.  What they received was a reasonable beatdown that YHC will probably regret later…

    • COP:  B-Lickers were included
    • Doras (FULL):  Each person does the full suite of Doras – with a partner but on their own with the count.  Merkins, LBC’s, Dollys
    • Triple Check:  B-to-Wall, bear crawl to WWII’s, run out and bernie-back.
    • 7 minutes of Mary (Abs of course)
    • Suicides, bear crawls, crabwalks, Bernie-Bears (aka crawl bears)
    • Ring of Fire

    Not much mumble chatter which YHC will chalk off to a fair amount of intensity in the workout.

  • Robert Bobla

    11 or so ran/walked/skipped through various distances ranging from 4 to 6 miles….

    NMS: Pickleball is still a thing. Apparently it is possible to have never picked up a pickle-paddle and still participate in the end of season tournament. Run – don’t walk – to Batteau for a Richmond-esque version of olympic-level competition.

    Swirly gets an anal-probe and gives the cologuard box spokesperson a deserved day off….

  • Alive and Well…

    7 gents posted a variety of distances, be it on the trails or roads covering north and south bank of the James. Yes Sunday Funday is alive and well…

  • Gerry Bifurcated

    A gentlemenly six pack arrived at Mary to witness a tale of two Gerrys. There was an abundance of banter coupled with a variety of physical challenges suitable for all age ranges and abilities.

    Moleskin:

    Apparently Big Data is still a thing, and one can watch their statistics steadily increase in real-time from the comfort of their couch, no workout necessary. You can thank Splinter and his side-hobby for this one.

    Saab (and TYA) abide…when able
