Five foolish PAX braved the 14 degree temps in various methods of layering to get their work week started right by:

COP – SSH, Don Qs, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Flutterkicks.  Mosey off to PES and to the Coupon zone.  Grab a coupon for:

25 Overhead presses, 25 Squats, 20 Sit & Presses, 25 Curls, 20 Ball Dippers, 20 Boat & Canoe.  After each exercise drop Coupon and run around the loop to keep blood flowing.  2nd Set same exercises but double the counts.

Mosey to basketball courts:  Bear Crawl court, 50 Donkey Kicks, Crab Walk back.  Head to bars for:  Hot Lava Indian crawl.  Then back to flag and finish with 40 Freddy Mercurys.

NMS –  Temps were lower than yesterday but lack of wind made the temps tolerable. YHC tried to plant the Shovelflag but ground was 100% solid.

Atilla arrived in full Kenny from South Park mode with every square inch of his body covered expect his eyes.  BB title comes from Handshake who pulled up in his Ms Toyota Sienna.  Apparently his Ms remote starter in her car to warm the Minivan up is worth the ribbing from the PAX.

The lack of building on Pemberton ES continues to give us all the coupons we could want.  The Ball Dippers with Coupon in hand you felt immediately.  Small but strong PAX this morning was a lot of fun.

Silent assassin signing off.

32 came from across the RVA converged upon Heartbreak Ridge for their first 2019 post.

Honeydo:  COP of SSH, Don Qs, Merkins, Scorpion Kicks, Flutterkicks, Hillbillies.  Grab 2 Cinder blocks.  10 Deep Merkins on your Cinder blocks.  2 laps of Catch me if you can with 1 man carrying 2 blocks.  20 Overhead presses.  10 Sit & Press.

Handshake:  Head to Pemberton ES Bus Loop.  Wheelbarrow up and back with Merkin at each pole.  Crab Walk up hill while other man Flutterkicks.

Mr Holland:  Drop coupons back off and head down to Heartbreak hill.  Triple check-ish of Jerkins, Bernie Sanders up heartbreak hill, run lap with 5 Burpees at the 50 yard line.

Atilla:  Hot Lava Shimmy then 4 corners on blacktop:  10, 15, 20, 25 WWII Situps.  Back to Flag.  TYA took us out.

NMS – Despite Kubota’s lobbying to start at 5:30 the 7:00 crowd was strong with 32 pax including FNG Swinger.  Flipper got an early start at Spider Run apparently.  Several PAX were sweating off  the previous night excesses and not at 100% (including YHC).  Each PAX grabbing 2 Cinder blocks was a little much, had Fudd been there he’d ask us to build him another shed with them.  It is good to get some use out of all that fancy new material that the Henrico Co. meals tax we are paying for.

Handshake must’ve been gunning to have someone spill Merlot with his Wheelbarrow/Merkins.  Not sure he accomplished that goal but guessing some pax were close.  Then why not burn the shoulders up more with a good 100 meter crab walk? Swiper lamented on the run back that between the Cinder blocks, Wheelbarrow, and Crab Walks that this morning was not the day to forget his gloves.

Mr Holland said muddy shoes be dammed, we were going to the Jerkin Gym which was muckier than ever.  On the 4  Corners Jville blew the PAX away, hitting Respect hasn’t slowed him at all.

Mr Holland treated the PAX to coffee for those making it to Starbucks.  Pretty sure we won’t be asked back there, definitely not the same as ETs but still good times.  If you want to put a goal down in writing put it in the comments below.  For today those posting, 31 of us can enjoy we are tied for 2019 Big Data with Swirly.

YHC arrived home and talked with a neighbor while cleaning up from our combined NYE party.  She asked how many men where there and when I said 32 she said “That’s amazing” and you know what she’s right.

A strong (or stupid) Six broke free of the holiday slumber on Christmas morning.  Hot Potato Q was a gift to all.

Honeydo:  COP stuff then mosey to Pemberton ES.  Scout the materials and Lo a bunch of Cinder Block Coupons were grabbed and redeemed.  Run lot with blocks in each hand, 1 Burpee , then back, 2 burpees, on up to 5.

Atilla:  Bear Crawl across lot, 5 WWII, back and increase by 5 all way up to 20.  Then Wheelbarrow lot and back.  Lunge back across lot with blocks.

EF Hutton:  Partner up, 1 man runs lot & back with blocks in hand while other did:  Block assisted Merkins, then  Overhead presses, then Curls.  Handoff to Handshake, deposit coupons and head to dropoff area for Pemberton ES.  10 Burpees, run loop then 9 Flutterkicks, then alternate down to 1.  Back to Flag.  Conspiracy called for Clap-Merkins ROF and out.  Atilla took us out.

NMS – Great to see 6 out this AM.  YHC wasn’t sure  if it would be just Atilla and YHC.  Those construction materials have been calling to the PAX for some time.  The Cinder Blocks are longer and narrower than normal ones, being govt procured are probably 10 x’s as much, so gripping those while carrying was tons of fun.  We spent all but the end in the lot with our Christmas Coupons, EF Hutton especially put the hurtin’ on our forearms.  Note for future HBR Qs there are a lot of other coupon types to play with.

Glad to have Greenbow out at HBR.  Always welcome back!  Merry Christmas all F3RVA pax and families!
