    BTTF Numbers / Names Last Call took us out

    NMS: Mr Roper started todays mumble chatter off by telling us that he has been out since January because he was hit by a car “?????”. The fact that nobody knew or has said anything if they did makes me question how our accountability is going in RVA. If there is a brother out there that you haven’t seen in a while, YOU (Me) need to reach out and find out how they are doing.

  • Just one more mile??? Whatever!!

    4 Long distance runners gathered in the Gloom to find out if YHC’s route was really 5 or was it actually 6 miles? Leave the Midlo Middle parking lot to the right, to Waldon Pond Rd, Right on Queensgate over the rollercoaster, right on Coalfield, Right on Midlo, BTTF.

    Numbers / Names OC took us out

    NMS: Rosie and YHC ran that route a few weeks ago and YHC thought it was a just under 5 mile route???? Oops, my bad. YHC turned around at the coalfield circle (around mile 4) and told Cookie only one more mile but at mile 5 turned back for the 6 again and had to tell Cookie 1 more mile. We are all better for it, well done gentlemen, well done.

  • Head Bangers Ball Valentines

    4 80’s want to be rock stars appeared from the Gloom with 2 runners that went their own way. According to the top 10 charts this is what happened.

    With speaker in hand and Poison starting us off Mosey to the lower bus lot for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, SSH, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, LBC’s, Dead Man Hang

    Mosey to the track before someone runs us over

    Track style four corners one of the PAX picks an exercise then rolls the dice to determine the number of times that exercise will be done on each corner of the track. Alice Cooper, Ozzy and Kiss were some of the bands that escorted us around the track 7 times.

    Mosey to the bottom of the stairs

    Partner steps, Partner 1 runs up and down the steps while partner 2 does an exercise Repeto 5 reps

    Prayers for Don Draper, twisted an ankle this morning

    NMS:

    YHC probably could have done a better job and made it a Valentines day themed beatdown but I really just didn’t think that through. DK had his eyes set on the sky this morning and pointed out all the things that we typically don’t even look up at. The Earth seems like a big place but in reality it is a tiny little spec on a God sized canvas.

  • No GPS, No problem

    8 runners made their way to Curahee with YHC on the Q sheet, everyone seemed slightly amused at thinking how YHC was going to get lost on his own Q. However YHC already planned ahead and had decided to use the Navy’s K.I.S.S. principle, so run up Pump to Ridgefield take a left out and back, turn around at about the 22.5 minute mark.

    BTTF Numbers / Names Handshake took us out

    NMS:

    YHC signed up for the Q thinking that I have done enough Curahee runs that I should have a good idea for a route but the other routes YHC was thinking of might have been a bit much to keep it under 45 minutes. Thanks for letting me lead this on this morning guys, next time I will try the extended route.

  • Make up your mind as you run

    YHC had big plans to run from MOT to Timberwolf which is 6 miles +/- but with only 3 runners this morning an audible was called and we decided (well YHC decided, Rosie just agreed) on a fast paced run through Walton Park. Even as we headed down Walton Park Rd we were trying to decide if we should cut back through Watch Hill and make it a 4 miler or keep going and get in the 5 miler.

    Midlothian TPKE to Woolridge, Left on Walton Park Rd to the T, Right on the rolling hills of Queensgate, Right on Coalfield and BTTF. 5 miles +/- YHC started his watch around the .75 mile mark so Rosie has the actual numbers. Pace was between 7:30 and 7:40 somewhere.

    Wedding Singer hit Queensgate and turned BTTF for what I’m guessing would have been 3.5 or 4 miles

    NMS:

    YHC loves the rolling hills of Queensgate and it’s always good to have a friend like Rosie to keep you company while you’re putting in the miles.

  • Pre-Scout the AO?????

    10 Burpee eating machines made their way out of the heated cars to see what was on todays agenda. Just as our COP was ending Face Plant made it 11. According to School administration this is what may or may not have happened.

    BTTF (Face Plant needs to get some Burpees in) 10 Burpees OYO

    Numbers / Names Oyster took us out

    NMS:

    YHC only had half a plan when he got to the AO this morning but one thing he did plan was four corners around the church. Unaware that there was construction going on that prevented safe passage around the church a reroute was in order and a solution was presented. Oyster loves Burpees so much that he didn’t want his friend Face Plant to miss out on his share, so YHC was forced to grant 10 Burpees OYO at the end of the beatdown.

  • House Party’s Yappin Again

    4 runners met at BWES but decided to slow it down to a Ruck, according to the dog walkers this is how it went.

    OG River Run route, from BWES circle in front of JRHS out to Robious left into River Downs, left up the big hill. Right on River Downs back to Robious and pass the Schools again.

    4 Plus miles (YHC forgot to set his watch on time) House Party kept the official Milage

    Numbers / Names Chaplain took us out (NTB took us out a second time)

    NMS:

    Title of this BB comes from how overly talkative House Party often is 😁 YHC thinks it’s probably because NTB and I Yap most of the time. Lots of good conversation this morning, no we didn’t salve all the worlds problems (or any) but we got to know each other just a little bit more. 16 degrees is just stupid, looking forward to 90 with 80% RH

  • I’m not going to puke!!!

    4 Well bundled, half frozen HIM left from the parking lot to head down the hill. NTB rolled in hot so the 4 stopped to stretch the legs while he made his way to join.

    At the end of the road circle up for the COP, SSH, DQ’s (Snuff arrives) Helicopters, some not so tuff exercise I saw on the internet, Imperial walkers, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Burpees

    From the top of the first hill we stopped at each curb for an exercise as we made our way BTTF as we ran back Wedding Singer joins in

    Numbers / Names Doublemint took us out

    NMS:

    The title of this BB brought to you by Dealer who said “I kept telling myself, I’m not going to puke” in reference to the 11’s on the bottom hill. YHC has no idea what the actual temperature was this morning but as cold as it was, it was less cold than yesterday. 14 degrees is stupid low.

  • Way to do HARD things!!!!

    4 Boot Campers and a lot of runners tethered themselves to each other so the wind wouldn’t take one away. According to the weather channel this is what went down:

    Mosey down the back hill looking to get out of the wind and into a dry spot for the COP

    On the track side of the concession stand under cover was a dry spot but it made somewhat of a wind tunnel. COP anyway

    Helicopters, DQ’s, Dead Man Hangs, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, Hello Dolly, Rosalita’s

    Mosey to the other side of the building to the bottom of the hill

    11’s – Bernie to the top for 1 Jump Squat run down for 10 Ball Dippers (2 Coount)

    Mosey Lung up the hill (half way), Karen style power walk to the top and mosey to the front of the school

    11’s – 1 (NEW THING) Ball Busting Burpees run to the curb for 10 Incline Merkins

    Time called to get some abs in BTTF

    American Hammers, Toe Touchers, Schrunchy Frogs

    Numbers / Names House Party took us out

    NMS:

    YHC had planned to do a full beatdown of 11’s but what exercises was still unknown. Until last night when YHC got a stupid idea, why not combine burpees and Balls to the wall? Looks good on paper, right? The first one or two are not bad then things got hard. The PAX pushed through but decided Ball Busting Burpees are stupid, we will see them again.

    Keep doing hard things!!!!

  • Ye Olde Ball & Chain

    8 new year, new you advocates posted to see what Doozy would have cooked up to start 2024 with.

    Mosey to the bridge to pay our Toll 20 Dips, 20 Incline Merkins

    Mosey to the tennis courts for COP – DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Dead Man Hangs, SSH

    Mosey to the parking lot out around the back right corner around the Soccer field, pass the pavilion back to the parking lot.

    10 Parking spaces have an exercises written in them with a medicine ball and logging chain in the middle space. Every PAX starts at a different space does 20 of that exercises and then runs a lap always moving to the next space on the right. once you complete the far right end and after your lap you go to the far left end. When you get to the space with the ball and chain choose one and take a lap.

    Numbers / Names Machismo took us out

    BTTF for 1 minute of Schrunchy Frogs IC

    NMS:

    YHC hadn’t brought the Ball & Chain out in a while so this seamed like a good time to get back at it. There is a good bit of running that goes with this beatdown but I think the PAX handled it well. The way to set it up is to make it hard enough that not everyone will complete all the spaces but that a couple PAX will.
