  • Senior Discount

    Five of us ran 3.7 miles today exploring Wellesley. Pyro was downrange from Jax and was amazed by Pigskin. But it was Lighthouse who told the story of getting a Senior discount at Einstein Bagels.

    Besides running and warmups, we did sets of LBCs & Heals to Heaven in a culdesac & some sets of dips and incline merkins at the romantic gazebo (no fancy cocktails included).

    A little more running than normal and the only complaints were from Blue Moon’s “good” knee.

    Nice to have a guest today. Pyro had met some of you but it sounds like it has been a couple years.

  • WaThoHuk Audit Part II

    Roger Roger took us to Short Pump Park and Pigskin joined us for the first half. We did a total of 3.1 miles that day. According to my Garmin, it involved something difficult on the SPES football field. I count 1200 yards of running with exercises every 25 yards. Maybe is was a Beast but don’t recall.

    We are now ready to file our 10-Q. Highlights include an average 5.1 attendees with a high of 8 and a low of 2. That’s a YoY increase of 18% from last Q1’s 4.3 average.

    We had 6 different Q over 12 weeks this year which is great!

    Last year we missed 3 backblasts in Q1. That is sad and it is a good thing we hired a new audit firm this year.

  • WaThoHuk Audit (part 1)

    With Q1 complete, an Backblast audit was needed to ensure we could file the WaThoHuk 10-Q. A couple discrepancies were found.
    This one involved a T.A.C.O. workout at the opening day of Torchy’s Tacos. We first ran to the Torchy parking lot across Broad. Some teenage kids were already in line for free Queso and joined us for a bit. We did four corners with four exercises that spelled TACO. You’ll have to ask Roger Roger what they were.

    We then ran to the West Broad Village pond and met up with Pigskin. I took us up on a hill and we did sevens of some sort and got damp.

    We then ran back to the flag. 3.3 miles total.

  • F U Wind!

    We ran 5 miles at a 8:37 pace, with 4 miles against the wind. Not sure how that happened. Then Gridiron started with us running against the wind.

    As Catherine the Great said: A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.

  • Six did Fat Amy

    I don’t Q this AO often enough so don’t have a set of routines I like. I found a circuit routine called Fat Amy. Don’t know why it is called that. I have nothing against Amy.

    After some warmups we slid into Fat Amy. According to Amy, it went like this:

    50 Squats no bell, 10 burpees

    40 WWII, 10 burpees

    30 Lunges no bell, 10 burpees

    20 Kettle bell swings, 10 burpees

    10 meter bear crawl, 10 burpees

    20 Kettle bell swings, 10 burpees

    30 Lunges with bell, 10 burpees

    40 WWII, 10 burpees

    50 Squats with bell.

    That only took 20 minutes and there was enough stamina to move to threesomes. First one involved running, curls and triceps. Second one involved running, sit and press and pull overs.

    The group was still ready for more so we did a modified curb crawl. Bear crawl to curb, 10 merkins, crawl bear, 10 derkins, repeat with 5.

    Back to the flag for a minute of LBCs to help Attila’s digestion and then a final climax with Freddie Mercury.

    Hope the workout helped everyone’s stamina. Fireman Ed missed his 50 squats. He can do them at home today.

  • Brunch Club vs Breakfast Club

    I thought it would be just another Friday morning run, but when I pulled up at the AO, there was Rosie talking to Gomer and Hutton. Was the Breakfast Club gang here to take out the Brunch Club gang? Lighthouse and Gypsy were soon there to back me up. We ended up with 12. Some to fight and some to watch. Before the music started, I gave poor instructions: North on Pump, go across Church on the left then right then explore some neighborhoods then come back”. Rosie and the Breakfast club gang were critical and so I told Rosie, “Don’t you ever come around here. Don’t wanna see your face, you better disappear” He could see the fire in my eyes and the words were really clear.

    Rosie then said “You better run, you better do what you can, don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man, you wanna be tough, better do what you can, so beat it, but you wanna be bad”

    So we ran and showed a funky and strong fight and realized it doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right.

    Currahee and running is a club for everyone. If you think they’re out to get you, you better run while you can as you don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man. If you wanna stay alive, you better do what you can.

    You have to run like you’re really not scared, you’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare. Running can kick you, and then beat you and you’ll think its not fair. But keep running if you wanna be bad.

    Thanks to all 12 for showin’ how funky and strong is your fight. Remember, it doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right.

  • The Collector

    We ran 4 miles and learned about Gypsy and his collection of valuable coins, jewels, friends with shoes, teeth, star wars action figures, finger nails, Pokémon and KISS cards, owl pellets, D&D dice, hot sauce, troll dolls and celebrity hair. Some of that is true.

  • Better than being knee deep in a creek

    Four showed up this cold clear morning to take on this great AO. 3 of us ran a little over 3 miles and also did 7’s with burpees and merkins, a Quarter Pounder with merkins, LBCs, Squats and SSH and 2/3 of a triple check of WWIIs, Flutters and some more running. Pigskin got over a mile and a half in before doing laps around the school with stations of merkins and dips.

    It was cold but a gorgeous morning and the exercises looking up at the sky were the best.

    This was my first AO in a week with the Bear Creek trail race in the middle. And I felt it. Thankfully, my shoes were dry by this morning.

    Announcements:

    RVA Bluegrass Jam is on 4/22. Proceeds go to the Richmond Fisher House and Veteran Liberation Services. I will post more details in 3rd F channel. Volunteers are needed.

    Prayers for Gypsy as he works to get his farm going. The Barn is the next step and rumor is it will be called the Clinic.

  • White Pinto Pied

    Pinto and Lighthouse led me on a 5 mile pre-gridiron run.

    I then discovered that for $500-$600 you can purchase a white pinto pied snake.

    We need more white animal F3 names but White Pinto and White House are honorary members of this important group.

  • Piss

    We had a guest from F3 Blueridge, Inbox, and we took him on a tour of Short Pump Park. Pigskin stayed behind and worked his butt off while circling the school.

    After a 3/4 mile run and a short warm-up, we did a modified Cooper. Three exercises in a row, then a run around the path (about 150 meters) then repeat. Start with ten reps of each exercise, then 9, then 8, etc. The three exercises were Burpees, Squats and Merkins. Gets the heart rate up good for twenty minutes.

    We then did a triple check with WWI, WWII and a timer running around the pavilion.

    Then we smelled the dog urine. I preferred the fruit loops smell from Spider run.

    Then we ran a mile+ back to the flag.

    Total of 3.1 miles, a good work out and piss. You’re welcome.
