  • It’s been a minute, I think I know what I’m doing

    YHC showed up to a group of Broga participants and Machismo coming in hot on a running warm up, 13 total gathered to see if YHC could remember how to call cadence while mumble chatter was happening.

    5:30 lets roll to the basketball court for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers and Dead Man Hang

    Move to the base line and run a quick Suicide

    Line up on the baseline for Man Killers

    Suicides, Duck walk with 10 Jump Squats at each line (X3)

    Suicides, Lung walk with 10 Ball Dippers at each line (Modify run the return) (X3)

    Mosey to the Indoor Outhouse, triple check partner one does pole smokers, partner 2 does balls to the wall, partner 3 runs to the truck and back as the timer. (X3)

    Mosey back to the Basketball Court

    NMS:

    It has been a while sense YHC has taken the Q, as YHC is getting older hip and shoulder issues have made it tough to do any form of workout. I have decided that I have one more half marathon to run (August) then I will hang up my running shoes and just focus on bootcamps. If I didn’t have my brothers in F3 I don’t think I would pushed through some of the aches and pains that I have. Thanks for keeping me going. SYITG

  • Oh, the choices we make!!!! If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

    4 adventure ready PAX with so many choices had little to no time to put a lot of thought into what they really wanted to do. Dunkin was considered but Bullseye with pack headed off into the Gloom for a solo ruck, YHC had texted the group that Wednesday was going to be an 8-10 mile day so Doozy was left to a solo run, Don Draper and Heist moseyed off into the Gloom and got 5 in.

    YHC was struggling with a strong head wind and even if it where only a 6 mile run I doubt a 45 minute return would have been possible. Choices were made not all were the best….

  • I’m not going to ask you to do this stupid stuff

    Singer and YHC made it out of the gloom to arrive at River Run this A.M.

    Last night YHC texted his run plan to the usual RR suspects with the added disclaimer “I’m not going to take the Q because I’m not going to ask you guys to do this stupid stuff”

    YHC’s plan: Mosey to the track, 4 fast laps, 2 laps mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. 3 fast laps, 2 laps mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. 2 fast laps, 2 laps mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. 1 fast lap, 1 lap mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. BTTF

    Singer’s plan: Mosey to the track 1 lap fast, 1 lap mosey Repeto 4 miles total

    YHC took longer than 45 minutes so there was no Ball O Man

  • Mutiny at WTH

    3 regulars and an outsider gathered for an SOJ takeover in what had to be the coldest morning this year. YHC left SOJ late and was coming in hot when he realized he left his stocking cap and warm gloves at home. This is going to suck

    Q’s plan is to head to the lake and circle that with some exercises until its time to return. Pig Skin says no, I’m heading to the parking deck to get out of the wind. Everyone else said, yep that’s what we are doing. Okay, adapt and overcome. YHC went with to the parking deck and made it up as we ran 3 times up the ramp levels dodging cars, exercises every other level.

    BTTF, Numbers, Names Pig Skin took us out

    NMS:

    It wasn’t pretty but we got 3 miles in 3.4 depending on who you ask and we left without injury

  • There’s Ice on the left of the hill

    3 regulars in the cold with no real direction to go. YHC grabbed the open Q because there was a high probability that he would not attend the below freezing run after fartsacking the entire last week.

    YHC needs to increase miles so Singer and Bullseye were sent of by JRHS and into River Downs to get in their usual 4 miler. YHC went to the park back by JRHS to the light at Robious & Winterfield, turn back roller coaster at Riverdowns BTTF for 6 miles

    YHC was a touch late getting back to the flag but the boys where still there waiting for me YHC took us out

    NMS: Passes Singer and Bullseye, they where coming out of RiverDowns as YHC was going in when Bullseye warned me about the ice on the hill half way up but YHC had headphones on and didn’t quite understand what he was saying until said ice patch was encountered. Luckily no one was injured in the running of the hill today.

  • Solo Bro Code

    At an AO that had a rough 2024 (taken off the Q sheet and then back on), YHC posted for the last run of the season and found that it would be a you vs you day. 70 and sunny, so lets get going, to the park back out through JRHS, to River Downs, out RD to Twin Team, cross over to Terrington for an easy 8 miles at a 9ish minute pace.

    See you next year River Run

  • Lets take is easy

    Sunday night a warning shot was fired that Wedding Singer would not be running. 5:30 and the only 2 standing watch are Bullseye and YHC

    After a bit of discussion an easy route was requested and YHC thought why not go through Terrington (via a visit to the park first) but stay on the high side of the pool house. Note to self, the POOL HOUSE is smack dab in the middle of the hill. All the way to Robious, cross to the opposite side where we no longer have to look for a clearing due to some tree removal. Down Twin Team around by James River HS and BTTF

    NMS: It seamed like it would be flat at the time YHC said it, sorry Bullseye.

  • Pearl Harbor History, what do we know?????

    11 HIM made their way to the frozen parking lots and fields of R-n-R to find out what they remembered from history class about the “Day that will live in infamy”.

    Partner 1 does Squats while partner 2 does same route

    NMS:

    It has been a little bit sense YHC has Q’ed and in true transparency YHC forgot that he was on the Q sheet. I had wanted to do the Veterans day Q but it was taken so I took Dec 7th way in advance then forgot about it. No worries YHC has done unplanned Q’s in the past but this has a theme???? Thanks to the Internet and all the many fun facts you can find, YHC was able to hold a History lesson and a beat down at the same time. The real lesson for that morning in 2024, was for the guys who haven’t Q’ed yet you can get out there and do it, it’s okay to screw up, everyone there wants you to do well and while they might make a little fun of you – you will do fine.

  • Where did he come from and where did he go

    3 RR Regulars picked up a hitchhiker on the frosty roads of Salisbury

    5:30 PAX of 3 set out to climb Twin Team and head out E Brigstock for out and back

    Along the way YHC was just a bit ahead of Singer and Bullseye when a lone runner going the opposite direction passed. As usual YHC said good morning but didn’t hear a response, not unusual for 27 degrees and before 6 A.M. however when YHC turned back to meet up with the other two, the PAX had grown from 2 to 3 and the familiar voice of Don Draper was heard. Once the 22.5 minute mark was hit the group turned and head BTTF. It was on the other side of Robious that YHC was told that DD had vanished in much the same way he had appeared. This reminded YHC that there is a beast that lurks the area of Twin Team that has not been seen in quite some time……..

    NMS: Stay tuned, we may have to go on a beast hunt to find DD

  • Easy does it

    5 Easy ridders drove into River Run to see what was the flattest easy post half marathon route YHC could come up with.

    BWES to Robious, take a right past the new Wawa to the bridge before 288 reverso left at the JRHS baseball fields and the back way to BWES and around the school to get 4 miles. OC did his own thing with a weighted vest, PAX caught up with him coming out of the Gloom wearing all black and having no light. He just appeared like out of a bad horror movie from the mid 90’s.

    Numbers / Names House Party took us out

    NMS: YHC needed something light after a good weekend half marathon. That was the last race of the year for many of us, thanks to all the guys that have posted, encouraged and ran with YHC along the way. This year YHC completed 4 half marathons (5 if you include the Home Grown) along with Gypsy, we will be starting back up again in February if anyone is interested.
