  • Daville – 5 Stars

    Stardate 20241006: Captain’s Log,
    On this day 1 SOJ, 1 Tuckahoe and 5 Davillians convened on the amicable planet of Daville. Despite this being an SOJ takeover, the local inhabitants were more than willing to cede control, demonstrating their renowned hospitality. Our languages, though remarkably similar, revealed a humorous disparity in counting skills among the locals (adjustments were made). It is our hope that this SOJ week will prove to be a mutually enlightening experience for all involved.

    Warmarama: Slow mosey to the other quadrants and back to home base. Counting was challenging but we pushed through. SSH, Imperial Walkers, Copper Head Squats, Helicopters, LBC, Hello Dollys, Alabama Prom Dates.

    The Thang: Storms approaching, mosey to the middle of the parking lot.
    The Eye of the Storm: 5 Burpees
    Corner 1: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Merkins. Davillians = 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins.
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 2: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Cherry Pickers. Davillians = 10 Cherry Pickers + 10 Cherry Pickers
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 3: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Squats. Davillians = 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 4: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 40 SSH. Davillians = 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH

    Repeat:
    Corner 1: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Merkins. Davillians = 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins.
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 2: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 WWII. Davillians = 10 WWII + 10 WWII
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 3: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Squats. Davillians = 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 4: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 40 SSH. Davillians = 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH

    Repeat:
    Corner 1: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Merkins. Davillians = 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins.
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 2: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Heals to Heaven. Davillians = 10 Heals to Heaven+ 10 Heals to Heaven
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 3: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Squats. Davillians = 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 4: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 40 SSH. Davillians = 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH

    Mosey to Corner1: 20 Merkins or 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins
    Mosey to Corner2: 20 Squats or 10 Squats + 10 Squats

    YHC took us out. (Prayers for Fudd’s sister).

    Almost 3 miles. Great to have Limey (downrange from Charlotte) who is in town for work. We were about .5 miles into our Long Mosey when he found us. Amazing since many of us who have run late have not always been so lucky. Limey is planning on posting at Mary tomorrow, so be on the lookout.
