  • A Twist on an Old Classic

    Down the western road

    Smell the bacon in the air

    Bakery donuts

    Not the haiku run

    But let’s keep it short for fun

    Coffee afterwards

    TYA took us out.

  • Just Playing a Round

    Playing a round of frisbee target golf. Throw the frisbee to the target, taking turns until the target is hit. Various workouts and reps were called for each hole.

    Chum Bucket led us through some yoga at the end and YHC took us out.

  • Chickens, Geese and Other Farm Animals

    A dirty dozen seasoned Pax and a FNG were the early risers in the park joining the soccer players, softball practice, and Pickleball enthusiasts.

    Off to the nice football field for a disclaimer and welcome. COP commenced and we meandered off the field out of respect to the soccer players assembling.

    With the middle school football field “closed”, we went to the soccer field to begin the fun. Oh, I forgot to mention that we have been carrying around an 80# sandbag.

    Lining up on the 0 yard zero yard line, the Pax karaoke’d to the other end of the field and back to the 10 yard line. The sandbag made its way down and back too.

    10 yard line – 10 HRM; lunge to far end and back to the 20, sandbag makes its way too

    20 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers; jog to far end and back to the 30, sandbag makes its way too

    30 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers, 30 squats; jog to far end and back to the 40, sandbag makes its way too

    40 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers, 30 squats, 40 2-count mountain climbers; jog to far end and back to the 50, sandbag makes its way too

    50 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers, 30 squats, 40 2-count mountain climbers, 50 4-count flutter kicks; jog to far end and back to the 60, sandbag makes its way too

    60 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers, 30 squats, 40 2-count mountain climbers; jog to far end and back to the 70, sandbag makes its way too

    70 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers, 30 squats; jog to far end and back to the 80, sandbag makes its way too

    80 yard line – 10 HRM, 20 4-count American Hammers; jog to far end and back to the 90, sandbag makes its way too

    10 yard line – 10 HRM; lunge to far end with sandbag

    Mosey over to the front of the school for triple check. Partner 1 bear crawls or lunge walks across the two lane roadway and back. Partner 2 performs 100 donkey kicks, 200 monkey bumpers, 300 box cutters.

    Chum picks up the sandbag and the Pax lines up behind him. Mosey back to the parking lot with the 6 running to the front to take the bag.

    Quick round of Mary and Attila took us out.

    We originally landed on “Cheesesteak” as the FNG’s name. Unresolved with the name, YHC reached out to Handshake – a man well versed in bourbon and barbecue (FNG’s hobbies). After a brief consult, we landed on “peg leg”. Handshake can attest to the quality of “Peg Leg Porkers BBQ” in Nashville, where they also make their own bourbon. It is also easier to say quickly while winded doing exercises.

    Welcome Peg Leg!

  • On The Road Again

    I can’t wait to be on the road again…..and neither did some of Richmond finest PAX. We headed east on Grove, left on Rosneath, and right on Monument. Right turns were made on the Blvd, Strawberry, and Allen. Everyone took Floyd west to then pick up Grove.

    YHC took us out.

  • For the Records

    A group of people ran, rucked, or rode and seemed to have a good time doing it.

  • EF Phone Home

    Nice bro-code run through the neighborhoods to see the sights. The Raintree lake was calm and peaceful with some bass rising on the bugs. Beautiful morning and a great time at Dunkin’ afterwards!

  • A Good Route

    We hit some hills – including owl strike corridor – new roads, a little bit of trail, and the scenic campus tour. Fun was had by all!

    Hitchhiker took us out.

    Announcements – Pickle ball tournament coming up. See slack for details and “how-to” videos.

  • What’s Up Dog?

    Yeah, we did yoga. Up dog, down dog, three legged dog, and a bunch of other stuff. We also discovered why EF carries a bandanna.

  • Little Sappling

    Thankful for all the small things today, this crew covered a traditional route that included Monument and Grove. Classics never go out of style.

  • Deja Vu

    Fifteen runners and walkers rolled in just in time for the route instructions. It seems this route closely resembled one Gomer Pyle did last week. We went over the river and through the woods and back.

    Great mumble chatter with the pack YHC was running with. Always a good time!
