    NMS:

    The tooth fairies proved to be one of those exercises that looked good on paper but in reality where a real smoker during the beatdown. Originally, YHC had called Merkins at the top but modified it to LBC’s mid way up the 15 steps worth of tooth fairies (X10). After the ball of man there was a conversation about tooth fairies and how DTH could make them suck worse, that’s when the thought of how we could partner carry while doing tooth fairies came up. It was a unanimous decision that anyway you slice it, Partner carry tooth fairies is just a bad idea.

  • Pay me now and Pay me later

    8 fully frozen adult men made their way out of the comforts of the fartsack and into the gloom this morning looking for a DTH beatdown only to find YHC had highjacked the Q and would not let go.

    NMS:

    DTH sent a text string out this morning that the kids had been up all night sick and now he was sick. YHC decided to take the Q and run with it.

  • Just a couple miles

    2 50+ men took to the mean streets of Midlothian to see who else wanted to rumble on a 70 and sunny morning. Surprisingly enough there wasn’t another sole in sight at 5:30 except for the cafeteria lady and we all know Doublemint and YHC are together not man enough to fight with her.

    First to the river and back up through JRHS and once around the track, across to River Downs up the big hill and around the back side. Back around the JRHS track and BTTF for right at 6 miles @ 9:05 pace according to Doublemint and his fancy watch.

    Numbers / Names

    Running through River Downs and pointing out the houses that I know are lawyers, Doublemint seems to know them all and has at one time done some work with them. YHC seems to be stuck on 6 miles, I know its time to get out and add a couple more to the total but I can’t stand the cold anymore.

  • What to do, what to do?

    4 cars in the parking lot this morning but only one willing to bootcamp, the other three went to ring Gumbos door bell before running away to hide. What was done at that solo bootcamp remains a mystery. YHC can tell you that there where lots of merkins a few LBC’s some dolly’s and Rosallita’s just to name a few but if you want to know what it all totaled up to you’ll have to come to Twin Team to find out.

  • Why didn’t we Name this AO, Goose Poo?

    9 non Goose type beings made their way to the Forge on a warm and welcoming day. According to the birds that live in the trees this is what happened.

    Mosey to the bottom of the hill COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, SSH, Imperial Squat Walkers (with some Cadence issues), Russian Soldiers, Dead Man Hangs

    Mosey to the light poles 10 Merkins at each light to the top (X15)

    Mosey to the hill half way down the parking lots

    Elevens, start at the bottom with 1 squat, Bernie to the top 10 Ball dippers per leg run back down

    Various AB exercises at the bottom of the hill, some explanation for Flatty on the difference between Hello Dollies and Rosallita’s but it is a you vs you workout, we also did some Sugar Sticks (AKA Flutter Kicks)

    Mosey to the light poles again (we still have 50 more Merkins to do today) 10 per light pole to the first from the last pole which is 5

    Mosey to the last pole 5 Burpees OYO

    Mosey BTTF

    NMS:

    There was once a large Goose population (Problem) at this AO but it has been noticed that they are not as prevalent as they once where. YHC has to assume that the county finally hired a company to run the Geese off or the Geese just got tired of the fact that the school nor F3 where actually willing to make them their Mascot. There is also a theory that DTH may or may not be secretly walking over to the AO at night with crossbow in hand. If DTH invites you to his house for smoked chicken, well at least it taste like chicken, consider yourself forewarned.

  • 2 times Respect equals 100

    A couple old dudes broke out their high speed walkers to hit the streets of River Run

    YHC remembered a route from a summer or two ago that went out around JRHS way take a right at the light and stay on Robious until the last turnaround before 288 then head back and loop through JRHS again. Try not to get hit by a car.

    Basic 2.5 mile down and back with a very deceptive / sneaky elevation change for a total of 5 miles

    Great time spent with Doublemint and averaged about 9 minute miles maybe a little faster

  • Lets play the Random Numbers Game

    NMS:

    YHC did something like this in IN over the Christmas break so last night the plan for turning it into somewhat of a game was hatched. YHC did realize that there are a few kinks that will need to be ironed out but overall I think the Random Numbers game will be seen again.

  • We didn’t expect anyone else to show up

    3 figure skaters showed up to River Run trying not to catch a toe pick on the slick streets of the River Downs Route. What was not announced was a behind the scenes text string between YHC and Doublemint deciding to do a Ruck rather than a run just to avoid the old people breaking a hip. Boberry showed up out of the blue expecting to run, Doublemint surrendered his Ruck sack to Boberry and a Ruck was had.

    According to the GPS watch on Doublemints arm 3.9 miles was made by a trip starting at BWES, down through the JRHS loop into River Downs, left up the big hill down just before Gumbo’s cul-de-sac take a right back out to the back side of the JRHS loop. Into BWES through the old track BTTF

  • What is this, musical Q’s???

    4 freshly cut mullets made their way to Rock n Roll ready for a Chaplain lead tour of an 80s themed beatdown only to find (the only one old enough to remember the 80s) YHC had to take the Q because Chaplain is now in quarantine. According to the park walkers this is what happens when Doozy makes things up.

    Cop at the Basketball court

    DQ’s, 5 Burpees OYO

    Mosey to the guard rail

    Balance on the rail while doing helicopters, balance while doing dead man hangs. Jump forward off the rail turn and jump back up. PAX learned this is very difficult for Tobit to manage so we completed two and before we have to take Tobit to the hospital an audible was called.

    Mosey out along the main walkway and YHC sees a path off to the left with a pavilion looks like a good spot to partner up for a modified triple check

    Partner 1 does an exercise while partner 2 runs (Dips, Incline merkins, gas pumps)

    Mosey and see where this path goes, while on the path YHC notices lots of good hills. This means that we need to use them

    Partner 1 runs the hill to the top partner 2 does exercise (X3 can’t remember all we did but YHC does know we did some merkins)

    Mosey and continue this path exploration with the lake off to the right, look another hill

    DTH suggests that it perfect for bearcrawls

    Bear crawl up 10 jump squats run back down, Ball dippers at the bottom Bernie back to the top squats and Bernie back down

    Mosey look another pavilion with lots of picnic tables, we did some dips and derkins

    Mosey along the path and found a workout station with 4 exercise stations, we have 4 HIM each one take a station. PAX will do an exercise for 1 minute and then switch, YHC will call start after 10 seconds of rest. (step ups, Incline merkins, gas pumps and pull ups)

    Mosey along path and find another station with an incline pole, after much debate on how to use it PAX decided to each take a turn jumping up to touch the highest point. We found that not one of us stands a chance at making a basketball team anytime in the near future.

    Mosey along the path and find a map on a sign. We are not far from through but there are several options and time is getting late. Chose the most direct route towards the baseball fields. Once at the baseball fields make a right in between them to the stairs. 2 to a side for some Paula Abdul’s bearcrawl up 2 crawlbear down with a merkin at the top of each set of 2 forward. repeto all the way to the top. Fugitive left his water bottle at the bottom of the stairs so we have to go back for it. While down here we might as well use the stairs again. Box jump 2 steps donkey kicks on the wall at the top back down the other side low slow squats lung back up for wall sits and just for fun DTH suggests some Hoedowns.

    Mosey around through the playground back to the basketball court for a merkin ring of fire (20 each)

    Originally this was Hardywoods day to Q, his son had a soccer tournament so Florence and him switched weekends. Florence was told by his M that the 15th they were throwing a birthday party for his 2.0 and his dream of Qing was put on hold and he switched weekends with Chaplain. Chaplain texted YHC last night to let him know that he had been exposed and would need to quarantine just to be safe. YHC took the Q and decided to make it up as he went along and a good time was had by all.

    The End

  • How many LBC’s????

    6 of the worlds finest Mathematical geniuses braved the 70 degree and sunny weather (27) to figure out how many LBC’s are done in a 10 line Parking lot crawl (without using a calculator).

    YHC always enjoys finding something that has been done before, slightly modifying it and then finding out just how difficult it can really be. 275 LBC’s total with crab walks in between lines is no joke, YHC’s abs are feeling it.

    Good to hear Florence’s FIL is in recovery mode after a successful surgery

    YHC did forget to remind everyone about this Saturdays Rock n Roll 80’s themed beatdown put on by Chaplain

    We also have an open spot for anyone interested in Q’ing Rock n Roll on the 5th
