  • Saturday Morning Run The Hard Way

    4 Davillians made it out for the First Saturdays at DaPile. We moved the AO location to Rutland this month since it would give us a longer straight running loop.

    This is how it went down

    Warmup – Bernie Saunders run around the parking lot loop

    COP (ALL IC) – SSH, DQ, Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Arm Circles

    THANG

    50 Minute Run (The Hard Way) – Very simple, 25 minute run out going over the bridge, through Atlee HS, into Honey Meadows stopping after each mile to complete 25 Merkins and 25 Squats. Turn around after 25 minutes back to the clubhouse and repeat.

    2 MOM – Various stretching exercise and a few lunges

    Numberrama, Namerama, Announcements, YHC took us out

    MOLESKIN

    Since most of the DaVille PAX right now is training for the relay, YHC made sure this would be a run day with a little mix of bootcamp.

    The PAX did great getting in 5 miles and YHC pushed a little hard getting in 5.6 miles

    Great 2F time at the Local Cup afterwards

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Rain Day Run Day

    4 Davillians came out on a rainy and windy Thursday for their weekly running workout.

    Hash decided to sandbag it until about a mile left then went zooming past all of us.

    3 DaVilians continued their training and got in a longer run on Saturday

    YHC got early and ran 2 miles then Corned Beef and Hash joined at 6 to get in 5.5 miles on the Rutland Loop.

    YHC then ran another 2 miles to complete a 15K+

    It was a great morning with temps in the lower 50’s at the start.

    6 Davillians brave the heavy fog to get in their weekly run in DaVille

    Route – The Craney Island loop and finish with Bojangles loop to get in 4.15 miles.

    Some took different routes back to get various distances. Opus decided to stay near by since currently dealing with an ankle injury did multiple Bojangles loops.

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Let the Madness Begin!!

    Free Throws – Using YHC’s toddler size basketball (couldn’t find the real one this AM) each PAX took a turn shooting a free throw shot. If they made it, everyone else did 5 Buprees. If they missed, they did 5 Burpees. Each PAX when 1 for 2.

    Mosey back to the cars

    Numberrama, Namerama, Announcements, YHC took us out

    MOLESKIN

    After over a year of waiting, March Madness is final back! We had small but fun PAX this morning. Everyone waiting to 5:29:59 to get out of the cars and YHC immediately yelled out “Let’s Mosey”

    Its nice this AO is a campus style school which allows us to still get wet but not soaked (I’m sure a few M’s appreciate this as well when we come home)

    The 4×4’s was one of those that “look good on paper” exercies as YHC was feeling it after just 2 rounds

    Great mumble chatter with the small PAX but Yard Sale could have left the 4th F at home

    SPIT ON THAT!!

    A lot fun this morning and in the words of The Carpenter: “The workout was fantastic but camaraderie, conversations, and sense of connection were even better.” Great to have him back this morning.

    The 2nd F at the Local Cup was even better. YHC also got the chance to do some EHing so hopefully it works out this week

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Freezing Loops

    A lone wolf headed out for run on this icy morning for a short run.

    YHC got a text from Corned Beef at 5:20 that he wouldn’t be able to make it and if he could take the Q. YHC was already on the way and was happy to fill in.

    Turns out it ended up being a solo day. Route was two loops around Bojangles and added two loops around the parking lot of the library and shopping center. Total distance just over a 5k.

    Hopefully some better weather will get the rest of PAX out again soon!

    SPIT ON THAT!!
