  • Breakfast Club

    At least 27 strong arrived at Elwood Thompson’s parking lot for a different kind of beatdown. Some arrived at 0530, some at 0600 and some at 0630. At 0600, this is what went down:

    Kubota Q:

    COP in front of The Hall Tree which is closing shop:

    Helicopters x 15

    Don Quixotes x 10

    Cherry Pickers x 10

    Russian Soldiers x 15

    Progressive 4 Corners (Bro-Code Style) in the parking lot:

    Corner 1 – 10 Merkins

    Corner 2 – 10 Merkins, 20 Monkey Humpers

    Corner 3 – 10 Merkins, 20 Monkey Humpers, 30 LBC’s

    Corner 4 – 10 Merkins, 20 Monkey Humpers, 30 LBC’s, 40 SSH’s

    Upchuck Q:

    Some kind of parking space “hop, scotch” exercise that was audibled to 10 Burpees OYO. Circle up and Upchuck led us in a quick prayer for God to officially quash the “hop, scotch” exercise.

    Bleeder Q:

    Find your own parking space and plank up at the top line of the space. Plank walk and trace the lines to the left and 5 merkins at end of the line. Plank walk back and 5 merkins. Plank walk to the right and 5 merkins at end of line. Plank walk back and 5 merkins.

    Hardywood Q:

    Parking Lot Suicides: Running using first 5 lines. Bear Crawl light pole to light pole. Crawl Bear light pole to light pole. Lunge light pole to light pole.

    Swirly Q:

    Grab your own parking space at 3 rounds of the following:

    10 Incline Merkins on parking stop thing

    10 Decline Merkins on parking stop thing

    10 Dips on parking lot stop thing

    Al Gore-o-rama and Plank-o-rama

    End of Bootcamp

    Gather everyone up with Shovel Flags ready and at 0632, begin the 2 mile Glory Run. Cary Street East to Boulevard. Boulevard South to Columbus Statue. Take Group photos. Run down by lake and make a quick loop to kill time. Gather up forces and commence to Dogpile. Arrive at Dogpile parking lot at 0655 and plant flags.

    NMS: It has been decided by many that Breakfast Club will became an official AO soon. It is 45 minutes long. 30 minute run to Dogpile and 15 minute run back to ET’s after Dogpile. Good way to loosen up for Dogpile festivities and to earn your bacon and eggs.

    What a nice crowd this morning! Lots of mumblechatter and lots of pictures and videos taken. Running with your brothers and with Old Glory just makes everything seem right. Big Black F3 Flag and Ghost Flag were also hoisted this morning. F3 Flag is a beast. Running with that will give you a good workout. Enjoy your day men!

    COT, Numberama, Namearama, Announcements and YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    7:00am Dogpile next Saturday March 23 led by DREDD. Breakfast Club will meet at ET’s at 6:30am and run with flags over to Dogpile. This is Growruck weekend!

    Roller Coaster/HDHH will be at Palani Drive on Wednesday, April 3 at 5:30pm. See PreBlast.

    NMS:

    Johnsonville and HoneyDo fartsacked this morning. The four that were there really worked hard and pounded out the exercises with great form and precision. Running in between the sets was definitely necessary in order to keep the arms loose. YHC was the only one doing the American Hammers on turf while everyone else was on asphalt. Hope that doesn’t hurt you three later today! YHC was told a couple times that he needs to move up in KB weight, so that may happen soon. Thanks, Whitedeer! If I can find a 26lb KB, will that suffice?

    Enjoyed leading again at CM and way to work this morning, men! Have a great rest of the day!

  • Gorgeous Evening on the Trails!

    Four Horsemen attacked the trails during probably the most gorgeous evening we have had in 2019! Various start times and routes were taken including:

    Husky and YHC started early and got in some miles with an out and back on the North Bank.

    Swirly ran the whole 7+ mile loop starting with the North Bank and crossing the T. Pott to Buttermilk and back across the Nickel Bridge.

    TYA’s truck was in the parking lot, but as of this writing, YHC has not heard back from him. We may have to go find him later this evening. Good thing it’s still light out.

    Again, great evening for a trail run or ruck or walk. Lots of bikers on the trails, too. Lots of trail construction happening from all the high waters and rain of late.

    Enjoy your evening fellas!

    COT, Numberama, Namearama, Announcements and YHC read a poem about looking ahead and not dwelling on the past. Spit finished with a nice prayer.

    Announcements:

    Bootleg is attacking and completing a 50K trail run today! Well Done!!

    Growruck is in 2 weeks. DREDD is leading the DogPile that morning and it is a 7:00am. It will not be as tough as YHC’s beatdown that you just experienced!

    Prayers for a lot of sick and injured PAX members and families.

    Prayers for Wild Thing and his M. She just had a tumor removed from her brain this past week. Please help them out if you can!

    Slurpee has Breaking Bread on Sunday, March 24. YHC is helping, but more help is always needed. Please sign up for future months!

    There will be a Roller Coaster run/HDHH on Wednesday April 3 at Palani Drive at 5:30pm. See YHC’s PreBlast.

    NMS:

    What a great morning for runs, rucks and beatdowns! This is the last DogPile before the time change which will make it dark again for the next few weeks. Getting the Pipe Loop in was a must even if it was a little damp. Having a tree fall down across it made it even better so we could have an obstacle to hurdle while we were running it. Lots of changes/construction down at the bottom of it which made things a little more interesting.

    It was a triple check kind of morning. YHC has been wanting to do a whole partner workout for awhile, so this morning felt like a good time to do it. Also, to get to know some unfamiliar PAX better by partnering up with different guys. A 5th Triple Check was planned but not started because of time. YHC induced a few laughs with Flatline-like cadence during COP. Then he induced more laughs with his accent during poetry reading time.

    Welcome to Boarhog and his dog, Tripper visiting from Lake Norman, NC. Most energetic and well trained dog YHC has ever seen. He will sleep well tonight.

    Breakfast Club had 10 strong this morning and changed the route a little by adding a jaunt around the lake to the route. If you have not experienced this yet, please do so. It’s a great feeling running with Old Glory and having people beep their horns at you. You may also get your picture taken by Shakedown!

    ET’s highlights include a conversation about Goat Sperm. There was discussion about planning for the Fall Retreat(no guns, but gasoline, wood pallets and a lighter are allowed.) Also, Saab misses his childhood pet cat, whose name was Pussy Cat…..

    YHC thanks all of you for coming out and working hard this morning! It is always an honor to lead this fine group! Have a great rest of the weekend, all and don’t forget about YHC’s poetry reading and to focus on what’s ahead of you and not what’s behind you!

    PreBlast – RollerCoaster/HDHH 4/3/2019

    We will be moving the Wednesday April, 3rd Roller Coaster hill run to the parking lot behind Palani Drive (401 Libbie Avenue). We will meet in the parking lot and have a hard start at 5:30pm.

This is the week of most public school’s Spring Break. Also, there is outdoor seating at Palani Drive, which will be key for those that don’t smell good after a run. This will be good training for BRR 2019 (the running part and the beer drinking part afterwards.) See ya there!

  • Hoedown Hot Potato

    One tractor, one car, one extreme J-E-T-S fan, one stock brokerage firm, one brand of vodka, one plate full of garbage/food and one secret agent attacked a hot potato at Hoedown this morning.  All the other regulars must have stayed up late watching the media circus crush the little girl from CBS trying to interview Brady after the game.

    NMS:

    Great work by all this morning.  A lot of running for a Hoedown Q (2.1 miles on my Garmin).  Saab ran to and fro the AO.  It was great having Loose Goose post at Hoedown.  One of the longest and hardest 11’s that anyone can perform.  Very little mumblechatter.  The Super Bowl was not Super enough to talk about.  Beautiful morning and great group of guys working hard together.  That’s about all you need.  Have a great week to all and See You In The Gloom!

    Announcements: 

    Sign up for GROW RUCK!!!!

    Whitedeer still owes this PAX and AO a backblast from 1/10/19

    NMS:

    YHC didn’t sleep the best last night because it felt like his VQ all over again.  He didn’t want to oversleep and wasn’t exactly too comfortable with exercise names.  When YHC arrived at the AO this morning, he planned on reviewing his workout which was scratched on a piece of notebook paper, but the Planets, Moon and Stars were to cool not to stare at and take pictures of (YHC gets distracted sometimes.)  PAX started rolling in around 0525 and stayed in cars for a couple of minutes to make sure the heat was blowing on their KB’s on their vehicles floorboards.  HoneyDo brought his inside last night to stay warm.  YHC wonders if he brought it to bed and made M HoneyDo jealous??  Johnsonville’s KB spent the night outside on his porch YHC thinks he heard him say.  Something about Whitedeer leaving it there.  Atilla’s KB may or may not have been dressed like Kenny from Southpark overnight to stay warm…Atilla sure was dressed like him!  It was quieter than usual this morning without Keymaster and Whitedeer playing their instruments.  A PAX of 5 is hard for YHC to figure out sometimes especially when he had a Triple Check and a Dora planned, but we made it work.  Chum Bucket has really been putting in the work lately.  He ran from Punisher to Roller Coaster last night to meet up with the Roller Coaster crew to get in some miles.  Well done!  Also, two were in standard #SOP this morning.  Felt good!

    YHC cannot thank the guys that posted this morning enough for coming out in these conditions for his KB VQ!  It’s always nice getting a KB workout in ever other week.  Hope you all have a great day and YHC will see you in the gloom!

    Have I mentioned yet that Whitedeer was not there???

    Get your personalized shirts that DTH took charge of.  Go to F3 wear/Mudgear on the F3 Nation website

    Growruck needs you!!  YHC wishes he could lead by example here, but he cannot participate in Growruck, but you can!!  HoneyDo is doing a great job of putting this together and we need some F3RVA pax to sign up.  Corporate is looking at us!  See HoneyDo if you need more details.

    “Show you can lead a team to victory and you will have shown you can positively influence your followers and organization”    -John C. Maxwell

    YHC would have added “Family” to the end of that quote, but nonetheless, John C. Maxwell makes great points about leadership.  This Pax is the “team” that he speaks of and we are looking for nothing less than “victory” when we wake up early, post to workouts and lead by example.  We have so many great leaders among our group and the best way to show that and to get it out of you is a “Hot Potato” Q.  Some may be getting tired of these since we have now done two in a row at Dogpile, but YHC thinks that they are among the hardest to lead and they are freakin’ hard workouts!  Back to back Hot Potatoes have given a lot of different Pax members a chance to bring out their leadership skills.  Everyone has to be ready and has to bring their “A Game” with them, because you never know what you are going to have to do, for example, Yoga!  I mean, just look at Lab Rat’s leadership.  He took a chance with this Pax by calling out Yoga and everyone listened and did what he proposed (though there was some Mumblechatter, it was mostly quiet.)  Again, if you did it correctly, it was hard.  If not, then hit Love Hill!  It was great to have Soot with us and to lead us.  Thank you for your service, young man!  Also, thanks to ABBA and Tobit who agreed to take the potato and lead by example.  Thanks to Oyster, Malpractice, Opus and Bodos for calling out cadence and to Swirly and Dr. Try Hard for keeping things going in between exercises with planks and other exercises.  HoneyDo has shown his leadership skills in taking the reigns of Growruck.  Let’s try to support this and him as best we can!

    Man, isn’t it great to LEAD!  To see others following you and doing what you propose is a great victory for you and a great victory for the team of F3RVA.  If you haven’t Q’d yet, what are you waiting for?  We WILL follow you and it WILL help you in all other aspects of your life.

    Side notes:

    Welcome to FNG’s Soft Serve and General Flea.  Soft Serve was formerly (Olaf) but was changed on the flag run back to ET’s.  He likes all things hard, so there you have it!  General Flea is a Civil War re-enactor and bassist, so there you have it!

    Breakfast Club Run had 9 strong this morning and 5 shovel flags flying.  (Kubota, Swirly, Flatline, Lab Rat, Vinny, Soot, Shakedown, Hardywood and Ollivander)  Come join us!  It’s a great experience!

    Ruck Crew had 5 strong this morning (Spit, Marmaduke, Honeymoon, Recall, Sippy Cup)

    Extra credit it there if you want it on Saturday mornings!!!!

    All, I enjoyed leading this Hot Potato Q this morning and hope you have a great rest of the weekend!

  • Roller Coaster 6-Pack

    6 studs attacked the hills of TYA’s hood on a pleasant Wednesday evening.

    First up was TYA who completed 2 big loops and 1 small loop for a little over 5 miles.

    Next to post was Swiper who completed several small loops only to finish the evening with a big loop for a little over 6 miles.

    Husky and YHC rolled in next and rucked 2.25 miles

    Last but not least was Swirly and Vinny who completed 1 big, 1 medium and 1 small loop for around 5 miles.

    Nice crowd for a Roller Coaster run in the middle of Winter.

    Great job, all!

  • Hoedown year in review

    12 strong decided to send off the 2018 gloom with a tour of Westham and a review of the year of Hoedown.  5:25am and Phonics appears and surprises everyone with the “cross-town” trip.  5:28am and Mr. Holland arrives one minute early.  5:30am and it’s time to mosey to the front of the school for:

    COP:

    Don Quixote x 12

    SSH x 31

    Copperhead Squats x 20

    LBC’s x 18

    12/31/2018

    Mosey down Ridge Road to the Trinity Methodist parking lot.  There were two VQ’s at Hoedown this year.  Fireman Ed had one of them.  Fireman Ed is a J-E-T-S fan and their record this year was an improvement on last year’s 3-13.  They went 4-12 this year.  So Fireman Ed got to choose 4 sets of 12 of something.  They were merkins with a burpee in between each set, so you had to get up in between the sets.  Well done, Fireman Ed.

    Mosey down Rock Creek Rd to a right on Baldwin Rd and come to a halt in front of Marv’s house.  VCU won last night and have improved their record to 9-4.  So Marv got to choose 9 reps of something and 4 reps of something else.  They were 9 burpees and 4 hillbillies.  This stop had nothing to do with the Hoedown year in review.  We just stopped because it was Marv’s house.

    Mosey down Baldwin to Westham and stop at stop sign.  Hoedown had an FNG this year that has really stayed the course and has accumulated 168 posts in 2018.  It was Handshake.  Handshake was not present, so Phonics got to choose the exercises because he came the farthest distance this morning.  16 2-count mountain climbers and 8 2-count Freddy Mercuries were performed.

    Mosey south on Westham and stop at Beechwood.  The other VQ at Hoedown for 2018 was YHC’s.  YHC is a Reskins fan and at Hoedown we usually perform burpees equal to the number of points the Redskins score the day before.  Well, you can’t do ZERO burpees, so YHC went with their record of 7-9 and we performed 7 hand release merkins and 9 WW2 sit-ups.  One burpee for Mr. Holland being one minute early this morning.

    Mosey down Westham to a right on Hillsdale and approach Lockjaw’s house.  Lockjaw had the most Q’s at Hoedown this year (9) so we did 4 sets of 9 box cutters with a burpee in between each set in front of his house.

    Mosey to a left on Lakewood and stop at Westham.  YHC did not know this, but we were at Pucker’s house.  Pucker was still inside in the fartsack.  The average attendance at Hoedown this year was 12.  So we partnered up and performed 4 sets of 12 plerkins each partner.

    Mosey north on Westham to the other Hillsdale intersection and stop in the median to complete 25 Tron jump squats in honor of Fudd who finally moved out of his house down the street.  YHC wanted to make it down to his old house and perform them in the yard, but time was not in our favor of making it that far.

    Mosey up Westham to Lindsay Dr. and stop.  There was a CSAUP earlier this year that Team DRM (Tuckahoe) won in blowout fashion.  Hoedown in Team Tuckahoe’s home base, so PAX lays down and with legs straight out spells “COMPLETELY STUPID AND UTTERLY POINTLESS”  One Burpee for Gomer Pyle breaking his foot at Hoedown earlier this year.

    Mosey back to TES and get in teams of three for a favorite of many Q’s at Hoedown, a triple check using the bus loop.  P1 runs loop, P2 does flutter kicks, P3 does donkey kicks on cafeteria wall.

    COT, Numberama, Namearama, Announcements and Gomer Pyle took us out!

    Announcements:

    Convergence at Heartbreak Ridge tomorrow at 7am!  YHC voted for 5:30am but was overruled.  Now YHC cannot attend because he has to leave at 7:00am to go to Williamsburg for the day and go shopping with the M.  5:30am would have been better!  Who cares if you are still hungover.  HA!

    Gomer Pyle is going to Honduras in a couple of weeks for a mission trip.  Please donate if you can to help his team out.  If you would like to donate, shoot him a message and he can tell you how.

    Swiper’s Birthday is today.  HBD Swiper!

    NMS:

    What a great first full calendar year at Hoedown.  The darkest AO in RVA has drawn some great numbers and has had 16 different PAX members Q during the Monday morning beatdown.  Even Lab Rat has Q’d Hoedown.  YHC felt like running this morning, so we got in 2.5 miles during the tour and stopped to get in the appropriate exercises at safe areas of the streets (the intersections).

    There are plenty of possible FNG’s living near TES, so let’s make a better effort in 2019 of EH’ing those guys and getting them back out after their first post.  Everyone be safe tonight.

    See ya in the gloom!
