  • Bringing SOT to GridIron

    8 Regulars and 1 north bound traveler from the SOJ made their way out of the gloom and into the many opportunities for greatness that is GridIron. According to the Pickleballers this is what happened.

    DQ’s – 5 Burpees OYO, Helicopters – 4 Burpees OYO, Hillbillies – 3 Burpees OYO, LBC’s – 2 Burpees OYO, Merkins – 10 Burpees OYO

    Mosey to front of school Doors SOT style

    Each door has a number we alternate between exercises Merkins, LBC’s and Squats do that many of the exercise you’re on. There are 32 doors

    Mosey back across towards the flag

    Stop in the parking lot for parking lot crawl, Bear crawl to each line start with 1 merkin at the first line, two merkins at the second increase at each line until 10 merkins

    YHC has been to all these AO’s but it was during the Summer Tour a couple years ago, YHC has never Q’ed them in the past. This week has been an honor and a blessing to get out away from my normal PAX and visit with brothers that I haven’t seen in quit some time. Thank you for letting me join you this week.

  • You do you run Route

    9 regulars, 1 Down Ranger and 1 from across the river came to see what SOJ was going to send their way this morning. YHC was the chosen one, really YHC just signed up for it but chosen one sounds better.

    After a very long email from Gomer with every possible route known to man for the Currahee area 2 where chosen a 6 miler and a 4 miler. Some discussion about who was going what distance and what the routes where. YHC, Lighthouse and Oloff went the longer route and ended up around 5.5 miles but it wasn’t the one YHC had printed off. Everyone else went the distance they felt comfortable with and met back at the flag in 45 minutes.

    Many are the plans in a persons heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21

    Let that sink in.

    When things don’t go your way or turn out the way you expected them to. It could be because God has something better for you. Let go of trying to make it work your way, let God take control.

  • There is always time for Burpees

    16 of Richmond’s finest men gathered in the parking lot at Mary Mumford ES to see who would be the SOJ Q for the morning. This is what was said to have happened

    Mosey to the basketball court for disclaimer and COP

    DQ’s – 5 Burpees OYO, Helicopters – 4 Burpees OYO, Hillbillies – 3 Burpees OYO, LBC’s – OK TYA if you insist we will do 2 Burpees OYO but the last exercise is 10 Burpees OYO

    Mosey to the soccer fields

    In the middle of the fields there is a bucket and surrounding the bucket are 12 frisbees set out like the numbers on a clock. Each frisbee has an exercise written on it. You run from the bucket to a frisbee do 25 of that exercise and run back to the bucket do 5 Burpees and move clockwise to the next frisbee. Work all the way around until you’ve been to every frisbee.

    Mosey to the tennis courts

    4 Corners Prostitute, corner 1 – 10 WWII’s, Corner 2 – 20 Scrunchy Frogs, Corner 3 – 30 American Hammers, corner 4 – 40 LBC’s

    NMS:

    YHC was all set for the Q this morning but got a bit nervous when such a large crowd gathered. In my head we would have about half of the crew that showed up but I am glad the numbers where bigger than YHC expected. Burpees are always a crowd pleaser and YHC is happy to (liberally) dish them out with a side helping of running.

  • YHC needs a tour guide

    7 regulars, 1 FNG and a wanderer from SOJ went in search of a hill to run near Atlee HS but found gentle rollers rather than one big one

    YHC will not pretend like he knew where we where headed nor remembers where we went but some made it close to 5 miles, some cut off the edges and did 3 or 4 miles. There was supposed to be a fairly big hill involved but Hash and Marco Pollo lead YHC through the woods to get some extra miles in and we ended up by passing the hill. There where many rolling hills through the Giles Community which is a route that YHC hasn’t been down yet so I was glad to see a different side of the Atlee area.

    NMS:

    Welcome aboard Dew Point congratulations on your first post being one of the muggiest days of the year this far.

    Thanks to Hash and Marco Pollo for being YHC’s tour guides this morning. YHC had a direction in mind but Google maps didn’t show the little paths to get from one neighborhood street to another to complete the loop. It’s always good to have a local with you.

    YHC will try to get out a little more and away from his normal stops. You sometimes forget the brothers you have met and there are a bunch out there in the Gloom that you haven’t met yet.

    Go out there and make a difference

  • 12 frisbees and a set of stairs

    9 men gathered at this institution of higher learning this morning with 1 four legged friend and according to the dog this is what happened

    Mosey to the flag poles for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Hillbillies, Merkins, LBC’s, Ukrainian Soldiers

    Mosey to the back of the school

    At the common area on the tiered steps there are 12 frisbees, 6 per side. Each frisbee has an exercise written on the painters tape, each HIM starts at one of the frisbees and does 10 of that exercise then runs around the common area staying on the concrete. Once that lap is complete you move to the next frisbee with 10 of that exercise and a lap, repeto until you’ve done all 12 exercises.

    Triple check time Partner #1 runs the same route as the previous beatdown, Partners #2 & #3 do Booyha merkins once partner #1 returns partner #2 runs and #3 & #1 continue the merkins. Once all 3 have gone switch to Booyha WWII’s once all 3 have gone switch to partner leg toss

    Good to have Fresh Prince back in the mix for a beatdown, still need to continue praying for some of our other brothers on IR. DTH reported that Heartburn is going to be getting some surgery done on his jaw from a hard fall he took at Rock n Roll while chasing a frisbee. A couple Ultimate frisbee workouts coming to an AO near you, please be careful and look out for one another.

    Snuff has an animal recovery sanctuary going on in his back yard and will be opening it up to the public as a petting zoo in the near future, or at least that’s what Cooper said he was going to do.

  • Seriously, it’s just a walk?

    2 grumpy old men and 1 know it all 13 year old took to the mean streets of North Chesterfield to pound the pavement on an OG Rollercoaster Ruck route.

    Posey is not used to being woke up at such an hour and while still an early riser for a teenager this was a shock to the system. He will get more used to it as the summer rolls on. Always good to get out with Doublemint and solve the worlds problems or at least point them out.

  • They call me Mr. Roper

    Taking a trip in the wayback machine this morning we had a guest who we haven’t seen in quite some time. 8 regular bootcampers, Mr Roper and 4 runners made up the PAX at SOT

    Mosey to the tennis courts for COP

    DQ’s – 5 Burpees OYO, Helicopters – 4 Burpees OYO, Imperial Walkers – 3 Burpees OYO, LBC’s – 2 Burpees OYO, Merkins – 1 Burpee OYO

    It was great getting to see Mr. Roper back out after it today and getting to hear about what he’s been up to. He told us that the thing he had been missing the most was the mumblechatter and 2nd F that you get out of F3. F3 is more than just a good workout to stay in shape, but you get out of it what you put into it. Reach out to someone you know and invite them to an AO

  • Circles, squares and triangles – pick a shape

    16 Beach Body on Demand models made their way to No Toll for a Doozy Q.

    Mosey to the 1st field a circle up in the middle

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Plank Jacks, Groiners, LBC’s

    Mosey to the corner this is where the more educated of the PAX started weighing in on weather the field was a square or a rectangle an what level of Geometry YHC might have made it to. Circle, square or triangle YHC does not care what you want to call it we are using the 90 degree pointy things AKA corners that total 4.

    10 – WWII, 20 – American Hammers, 30 – Scrunchy Frogs, 40 – Knee Slides

    Mosey to far left field

    10 – Hand Release Merkins, 20 – Wide Grip Merkins, 30 – Single count Shoulder Taps, 40 – Arm Circles (forward and Backward)

    Mosey to right side field

    10 – Copperhead Squats, 20 – 2 count Ball Dippers, 30 – Jump Squats, 40 – SSH

    Mosey to the parking lot

    Your Choice 4 corners but corner number 1 has to start with Burpees, Corner 2 – 20 Arms, Corner 3 – 30 Abs, Corner 4 – 40 Legs

    Mosey to the playground, pay toll as you cross the bridge 20 Dips, 20 Derkins

    At the playground the plan was to bear crawl around the circle track while last person in line pushes the play car to the front, as last PAX passes the car he pushes it to the front again team 1 seamed to have understood the instructions and where doing well but team 2 which included YHC failed at the first runner and rather than try to explain it again YHC decided to Audible and head towards the basketball courts. Seeing a trail that YHC has never noticed before we decided to see where it went. Sure enough it lead to the Tennis courts. This too makes a nice spot for a 4 corners.

    10 – Scrunchy Frogs, 20 – Merkins, 30 – Jump Squats and 40 – LBC’s

    YHC loves seeing the number of PAX at AO’s grow. No Toll has always been a bigger AO but now we are starting to see the numbers get back up in to the Pre Pandemic area. There are still a couple AO’s on the south side that YHC would like to see grow back into their former glory, River Run and Twin Team could use a boost if your looking to add a day to your routine. Satan’s Hill is going strong, Timberwolf and The Forge are fairly consistent with good numbers and SOT is a great Humpday beatdown. Get out and get after it.

  • The Q, forgot to title the BB

    8 Strong brothers and a random stranger that was looking to join in came to see what Doozy had cooked up on the books today.

    7:00 and 8 PAX mosey to the tennis courts for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Russian Soldiers, LBC’s, Merkins

    Mosey to the rails

    Dips, Incline Merkins and Step ups as we pass to the back parking lot

    Mosey to the closer parking lot (long) 4 corners prostitute style 10 Merkins, 20 American Hammers, 30 Squats, 40 Calf Raises (20 in and 20 out)

    Mosey back to the flag

    Awesome, to be mid beatdown and have a FNG ask if he can join in. Please welcome Outage to the PAX if you see him out in the Gloom. YHC had planned a special beatdown for this morning, one in which YHC would have to carry a winky because of all the exercises that he had pulled from the Exicon and of which he had never done 30% of. That plan was discarded when YHC realized during the COP that he would never remember the new (to him) exercises. There is a way that seams right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Prov. 14:12 (let go and let God) Go out into to the world and let your light shine brothers.

  • 8 Regulars, 1 traveler and 1 FNG made their way to Timberwolf and this is the story of how it went.

    Increase burpees by 1 at each light pole YHC had PAX start at the first light pole so his count was off and YHC took the 10th set of burpees for the team

    Lung walk back to the flag for some not so lazy boys
