  • Where’s the Beef

    12 Studs who’s names I can only hope to recall showed up and waited for Corn Beef, when 5:30 hit and the Beef was not present Rosie took charge and lead the PAX to the Basketball court for the COP and a Hot Potato was called

    Rosie:

    SSH, Helicopters, Hillbillies, Tempo Merkins, Shoulder Taps, Sugar Sticks, Freddie Mercuries

    Move to the baseline for some suicides 5 merkins at each line and 10 WWII’s at the baseline

    Mosey to the back lot for four corners, corner 1 – 5 Burpees, corner 2 – 10 Hand Release Merkins, corner 3 – 30 Monkey Humpers (?), corner 4 – 40 Squats

    Dealer takes the Q mosey to the first gate for a Dora

    100 WWII’s, 200 Merkins, 300 Squats timer runs to the water tower gate and back

    Mosey to the indoor outhouse area for a Triple Check

    Mosey to the Basketball court (thought about Man Killers) not enough time, don’t want to be (that guy) and pass the Q just to not have to write the BB so in a circle everyone holds Lazy Boy while each PAX does 5 of their favorite AB exercise

    Numbers / Names DTH took us out

    NMS:

    It was good to have Crash Test Dummy back in the Gloom and hear about what he is doing now.

  • Come to this AO they said, it will be fun they said

    3 Bootcampers, (2 of which tried to get away with the runners) decided to see what Doozy could come up with on the fly.

    According to the solo walker this is what happened:

    Mosey to the track for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Dead Man Hangs, Imperial Walkers

    With perfect numbers for a Triple check why not triple check

    Triple check #1

    Runner – 1 lap around the track

    Partner 2 – Wall sits

    Partner 3 – Donkey kicks (was modified because Balls to the Wall just felt stupid)

    Runner – up far stairs around and down stairs

    Partner 2 – WWII’s

    Partner 3 – American Hammers

    Triple check #3

    Not so Lazy, Lazy Boys for the runners

    Numbers / Names Rosie took us out

    NMS:

    With a life full of distractions and uncertainty YHC has not been taking the Q. It was good to be somewhat forced to think on my feet this morning. Thanks to Yeehaw and Mudslide for letting me take the Q and run with it.

  • Triple check numbers with no triple check???

    Nice even number of 6, perfect for a triple check but that wasn’t on the winky this morning so according to the trash collectors this is what went down.

    Mosey to the side entrance along the wall for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Merkin Knee touches, Imperial walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats

    Mosey to Basketball court and back

    Mosey back around by the flag and grab the frisbees continue out to the parking lot

    Burpee Frisbee golf – Pick a target the stroke you are on is the number of burpees you do, if someone catches your frisbee you do the stroke you’re on plus 5 extra burpees. If they touch your frisbee and miss they have to do the 5 burpees.

    Mosey BTTF for a round of Ab Mary

    Florence took us out (Ooops) Numbers and Names (yes we did it in reverse)

    NMS:

    Whenever someone gets on the Lexicon before their Q, it could be a bad day. The Burpee Jackass Webb is no joke, just like the Jack Webb’s you think its not a problem until you get about half way through. The old men prevailed this morning with 4 of the 6 being on the respect side.

  • Half N Half

    5 Runners, 1 mans best friend and 5 Bootcampers took off from SOT this morning, according to the teachers that are getting ready for the upcoming school year, here is what the Bootcampers did

    Numbers / Names NTB took us out

    NMS:

    The weather was perfect this morning and as the sun came up it was red on the horizon making for some interesting conversation. It was good to have Lizard in town from Charlottesville, Rosetta and Lizard had a HS connection so they where able to catch up. Orange Crush did ask Lizard about Rosetta’s claim of how he was quite the ladies man in High School of which Lizard politely neither confirmed or denied.

  • How do you do this again???

    We had 11 of Richmond’s strongest and fittest men on the battlefield this A.M. at No Toll. According to the two tennis players we tried to EH here is how it went.

    Mosey to the bridge to pay our toll 15 dips and 15 incline merkins

    Mosey to the tennis courts for COP

    Numbers / Names Machismo took us out

    NMS:

    It’s been a minute sense YHC has had a Q so while thinking through a plan last night, YHC was hoping to remember how to Q. Almost forgot how to count Man Killers but made an adjustment on the fly and all seemed to work out well. It didn’t take long (on the 9 count) until NTB figured out why everyone loves Man Killers. Just think, you don’t have to do anymore Burpees for the rest of the day

  • Running with squishy shoes sucks

    YHC and Greenbow left the safe space of SOT to get out and take on the wind and the rain of MOT. Greenbow predetermined that he would not be running 10 -12 miles today so together we ran to the bridge on Charter Colony which is the 2 mile mark where Greenbow turned and headed back to the flag. YHC bound and determined to get in 10 miles due to the fact that a Monday and Tuesday runs where missed kept pressing on towards Tomahawk Middle, Brandermill PKWY to Genito back up and over to St Francis, up to Manders Dr, to Coafield to Queensgate back to the flag

    10.58 Miles total, didn’t feel good in the rain and had to walk more than one uphill battle. In all it took about an hour and a half +

    NMS: Its always good to get out and after it with someone, while Greenbow didn’t go the whole route with YHC it was good company for the time that YHC did have with him. YHC will do this route again but hopefully in dryer weather, it has lots of short hills that add a fair amount of challenge to the already challenging distance. Starting off the day, basically (not quite) running a half marathon is not for everyone but I enjoyed it.

  • My nipples are raw!!!

    7 Runners were to scared to stick around and see what Marmaduke might try to make them do so at 5:30 we separated from the Bootcampers and according to local officials this is what happened.

    The route is AO to AO and back (SOT to Timberwolf) or at least to the round about on Brandermill Parkway which is approximately 3.5 miles one way. PAX runs as far as they are comfortable and then heads BTTF, most made it somewhere between 5 – 5.5 miles and made it back in time for COT. YHC took a little more time and did the full route and ended up missing the COT but catching a few of the guys before they left.

    YHC wears a vest with water bottles and pockets for longer runs but in a hurry this morning to get out the door forgot to put the anti chaff cream on, hence the title of this BB. oooouch!! $%&#

  • We all have to start somewhere

    8 regulars and a self EH’ed FNG made their way out of the Gloom to find themselves at the first Doozy Q of the year, it also was a birthday Q so extra fun was had by all.

    5:30 mosey to the parking lot but pay the Toll on the way

    20 Dips, 20 Incline Merkins

    Circle up in the lot

    52 SSH, 2 Burpees, DQ’s, Helicopters, 52 Crunches, 5 Burpees, dead man hangs, 52 Imperial Walkers, 10 Burpees

    Mosey to the corner for a four corners prostitute with a twist

    First corner 10 WWII’s, second corner 20 American Hammers, third corner 30 Scrunchy Frogs, fourth corner 40 Lunges. The twist is that there is no free return corner, every time you return to the starting corner you do 52 Squats

    Mosey to the parking spaces just past the gate for some parking lot crawls

    Bear Crawl to the first line and do 1 Merkin, increase be 1 Merkin at each line until you end at 10 Merkins

    Mosey BTTF but pay the Toll on the way, 20 Dips / 20 Incline Merkins

    Circle up in the basketball court for a ring of fire

    PAX holds a Lazy Boy position while each HIM does 15 of his favorite ab exercise

    Numbers / Names Greenbow took us out

    NMS:

    Welcome to our latest FNG “Fritos”. The title for this BB was based off a comment that Fritos made during the four corners. Greenbow was jabbing at YHC about turning 52 and Fritos said “there is a difference between a 52 year old that been working out for 30 years and a 20 year old that hasn’t”. The comment really got me thinking, YHC hasn’t been working out for 30 years but YHC is in the best shape of his life and its all because YHC started (5ish years ago) with this PAX and this PAX has made me better. We do all have to start somewhere but starting is only part of it, we all get out of it what we put into it.

    I did take some time off from the Q sheet but in the words of John Wick, “people keep asking if I’m back and I really haven’t had an answer but Yeah I’m thinking I’m back”

    Welcome to our newest vict…., I mean FNG now named Arnold because his kids (F3 names) are Hons & Fronz.

    Congrats to EF Hutton and Oyster for making it to 300+ AO’s this year, well done

    YHC had set two goals for this year, 100 Merkins a day for the year (made it to March) and 100 Q’s. Today was the end of YHC’s Q count with todays Q being 100. Thanks to all the brothers that have showed up (like a Doozy Q or not) you keep coming back. YHC’s goals for next year are going to be run, run, run Marathon (by November) a couple Triathlons and connect with Mudslide on at least one Spartan race.

    Set a Goal: If you make it great, if you don’t try again or try something different. This group of guys should be there to support you in achieving your goal and to encourage you if you don’t.

    Numbers / Names YHC took me out

    NMS:

    A solo Q is tough especially when it’s cold out, thoughts of stopping early, not doing something because its tough and reducing a count all cross your mind from time to time. Beatdowns are not meant to be done solo, that’s what makes F3 such a great resource. Accountability and fellowship keep you focused and push you to be better. Are you better today? I am better because I know that there are guys that will read this BB who were not there with me physically today but because I am accountable to them and because I draw strength from their friendships, YHC was able to do the hard stuff even when nobody was with me.
