  • 40 for 40

    To commemorate the forthcoming decade of silence, YHC held a 40 for 40 at The Swamp (the track at James River HS). 40 laps for each wonderful year of life. No warm up, just run. 40 laps. Go.

    Donuts from Boberry and coffeerama from DTH for some extra socialization. What an incredible way to start another wonderful year.

    A two hour call with Verizon Fios last night led YHC to the realization that internet service providers have a backwards customer service model…. so our workout today was backwards. Here’s the thang…

  • Not a ‘merkin challenge

    Extensive mublechatter about a ‘merkin challenge and regaining some sort of tassel but YHC had other plans. As the clock struck 5:30 we moseyed – it was not 70 or sunny.

    The diddy:

    • Mosey

      • Continue (1 Merkin, 2 Squats, 3 WWIIs) for the six
    • Mosey
    • Street lights back to the flag. Stop at each street light alternate exercise. 1st light 1 merkin, 2nd light 2 squats, 3rd light 3 WWIIs, continue.

    Thank you to our out of town guests – Blue Oyster & Rohawk. YHC has been traveling all week so this morning was tough to just get out of bed. Thank you all for the hard work and great attitude. I’m a better man because of each of you.

  • Two-riffic!

    It was a quiet morning at Timberwolf, YHC arrived while Oyster doing calisthenics under the lights. With no Q on the Q-sheet and no headlights headed our direction we did a lil jig to the upper parking lot to watch for stragglers. The plan was a hot potato so Oyster took over for trying to make a circle out of two people.

    COP looked like this:

    • SSH
    • Don Quixotes

    YHC picked a couple more diddies and forgot to pass back the potato. The rest looked like this:

    YHC arrived early for his VQ, greeted by Dr TryHard who was graciously planting the ShovelFlag. In the following minutes, sixteen men, including FNG Fire Marshall Bill, assembled at Hugenaut High for the third ever FORGE beatdown. Cordial chitchat was hastily interrupted as 5:30 flipped on the wrist apparatus and the clouds parted to a balmy 70 & sunny, off we went.
