  • Pre-Blast: Richmond Community Toolbank Hammers & Ales 10/7!

    Pre-Blast: Richmond Community Toolbank Hammers & Ales 10/7!

    Gentlemen! YHC is proud to serve on the Richmond Community Toolbank‘s board along with Lightning Rod and we need your support for a little Second and Third F this Saturday evening for our annual fundraiser called Hammers & Ales.

    This Saturday at 6PM the Toolbank will have beer from Stone Brewing, barbecue from Buz & Neds (with plenty of other food) along with the MoDeBree Band for a celebration of the good work the Toolbank has done over the last year providing tools to enhance the charitable sector’s capacity to serve, facilitating hands-on volunteerism in the greater Richmond area. What’s better? $35 of the ticket cost can be counted as a charitable donation! It’s a win-win-win!

    So far, YHC knows Lightning Rod, Loose Goose, Lab Rat & YHC will be there (with our Ms) so please come and make a date of it!

    Buy tickets HERE.

    Or call/text Viral at 914 886 8109 for more details. Thank you and see you there!

  • November Merkin Challenge

    November Merkin Challenge

    It’s almost November.  That means mustaches will begin to proliferate.  I can’t think of a better pairing for a mustache than swolled up shoulders and arms.

    The baseline is 5k for the month.  That translates to 167 merkins every day for an entire month.  You can guarantee there will be a few merkin ladders sprinkled in throughout the month to help you reach your goal.  Modify your baseline as you see fit and pass this along to others that may be interested.

    Push yourself.  Don’t hurt yourself.

  • November Breathing Challenge

    November Breathing Challenge

    All pax and family members are invited to participate in a monthly breathing exercise challenge for November.  Please note that this is NOT to take the place of our traditional November merkin challenge, rather to complement it.  Directions and video tutorials are on the spreadsheet.

    YHC is using this as a way to dive in to meditation and breathing exercises, so if there are knowledgeable pax out there, please share your tips and strategies.

    Breathe MFer, Breathe.

  • Pre-Blast: Resumption of the Pre-Gaming at GridIron 0640; Followed by a ChumBucket Q KickOff at 0700

    Pre-Blast: Resumption of the Pre-Gaming at GridIron 0640; Followed by a ChumBucket Q KickOff at 0700

    Pre-Gaming resumes at GridIron tomorrow at 0640.  Focus will be on spiritual growth based on 2 Peter 1:3-11
    3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. 10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
    Cecil organized this Pre-Game series and he has the Q for weeks 1 and 2; weeks 3-9 will be Qed by those of the Pax called to lead.  This will be strong.
    ChumBucket has the Q for the fun that follows at the normal 0700 kickoff time.
    Stand Firm.

  • Pre-Blast: 2nd Hour Saturday Launches October 21

    Pre-Blast: 2nd Hour Saturday Launches October 21

    YHC has heard lots of mumble-chatter recently (Gomer Pyle, Shake Down, Hardywood, among others) about starting a 2nd hour workout on Saturdays about once a month.  No time like the present.

    Launch date will be October 21, 2017, for Double Dog (permanent name TBD).  YHC has the Q for Hour 1.  Anyone interested in the 2nd Hour of Power should plan to stick around after Dog Pile.  Basic plan will be to finish up Dog Pile (COT, etc.), take 5 or so to re-fuel, and start the 2nd hour about 7:10 a.m.  YHC will take the Q to start followed by a Hot Potato.  Anyone interested in Q-ing part of the workout, drop me a line.  Finish up about 8.  ET’s to follow.

    This is – coincidentally – a 3rd Saturday (2.0 friendly workout day).  For those interested, let’s plan to hold the workouts at the same time, but separately, for now.  Final decision on holding Double Dog on a Saturday other than the 3rd weekend of the month will be forthcoming.

    Anyone with an up-coming Q this week or next, please share during Announcements.

  • PRE-Blast: Breaking Bread 8/27 – Help Needed

    PRE-Blast: Breaking Bread 8/27 – Help Needed

    Gents, I have the Q for the upcoming Breaking Bread 2nd/3rd F opportunity on Sunday, August 27 from 5:15 until about 7:30 p.m. at The Daily Planet (180 East Belt Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23234).  We will be preparing and serving dinner to patients recovering from illness or injury or surgery in the Medical Respite Program.

    I’m looking for 3-4 volunteers to attend with me and help out.  Let me know if you plan to bring your 2.0.  They recommend that any 2.0s be at least 10 years old and they ask that we not bring more than 10 people total.

    I will plan the menu and take care of the main protein and would be looking for folks to chip in with bread, salad, dessert, drinks (lemonade or ice tea are the two options the program has given us).

    We will serve the residents, eat with them and then join them for an activity (Bingo or something like that) until 7:30.

    Please respond in the comment or contact me – 804-687-0120 or mgoldman@hunton.com if you are able to help out.

    Thanks!

  • PRE-Blast Puppy Pile 8/19/17

    PRE-Blast Puppy Pile 8/19/17

    The second “Puppy Pile” is set to kick off at 7am this Saturday after Dog Pound. If you aren’t familiar with “Puppy Pound” it is a 2.0 centered workout…so bring your kids and we’ll go for an hour. As of right now, we are doing it the third Saturday of each month, right after Dog Pile. We started it in July and it was a ton of fun…definitely quality time with the 2.0s.

    Unfortunately, I’ve gotta get out of town this Saturday. Can anyone commit to hot potato-ing it from 7-8? I think we are going to have a good crew out there as it was very well received last month.

    If you can take an exercise or two, please post below so we know that there will be someone there to lead the 2.0s through the gloom.

    Thanks,
    MARV
