  • The Hard Way Run

    2 Davillains enjoyed a misty Monday morning run. The route went from Giles, Giles Farm, and loop around Craney Island stopping every 5 mintues to complete 25 Merkins and 25 Squats.

    Good pace this morning getting in almost 4.5 miles in.

    200 Merkins + 200 Squats completed as well

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Styx returns to the gloom. Too much time on her hands?

    Quarantine……well it sucks. Styx was over it and decided she wanted to beat up on the NM PAX for 45 minutes. So on the Q sheet….Styx was to wake up early on Monday.

    Here is how it went down….Stretching, laps, then GASSERS…………if you were there you know and if not, be thankful the Fartsack held you in. They were brutal and overall a solid workout!

    In all seriousness it is always great to see you kids grow up, take charge and lead. In this case a group of old men (except POG – his birth cert has been requested). I could not be more proud of her!

    Have a great day fellas and THANK YOU!

  • Green Acres is the place to be

    7 Davillians came out for a our Sunday Funday in the Ville. Only place fitted for this sort of group run was Green Acres (Pole Green Park) the home of DaVille’s former Thursday morning workout.

    7 am start time we heading into the park, through the cross country course, through the trails, saw a dead cooperhead, and back up to the ES parking to get somewhere between 6.25 to 6.5 miles

    Glad to have Scully back out with us!

    It was great to be back out at the AO. The PAX had decided to make this a thang atleast once a month through this social distancing time

    SPIT ON THAT!!

      • Another 45
        • 20 IW
        • 10 DQ

        • 10 merkins
        • 10 Suzanne Somers, each leg
        • 15 APD
      • 45 LBC
      • Burpee march though the parking lot with a total of 45 burpees, 45 WWII sit-ups and 45 APDs
      • Mosey to the field for the following – a 45 yard run, 10 reps of an exercise, 45 yard run, 15 reps of that exercise, 45 yard run, 20 reps of that exercise, 45 yard run and then a 45 second elbow plank (that does add up to 45 total reps)
        • HRM
        • 2x flutter kicks
        • 2x crab cakes
        • Side lunges
        • CDD
        • Storm squats
        • 2x American hammers
      • Mosey to the new pull-up bars for 20 pull-ups in a dealers choice rep cycle with Freddy Mercury chaser while bars cleared
      • Mosey to the parking lot for 3x 15 donkey kicks (45 total)
      • COT with YHC taking us out

    The County of Henrico has come through and made the Gridiron THE premier AO with a new set of pull-up, dip and jerkin bars.  What a present for this birthday celebration.  They are there for the long haul, and YHC expects them to get great use.  They are near the grassy knoll and pickle ball courts, so burpees and suicides will be part of that ultimate beat-down cocktail.  Happy Birthday to YHC!   Every birthday party needs gifts, and this one stole the show.

    Great work by the PAX.  Some fellowship 6 feet apart in the Einstein’s parking lot followed for some. 

    God is good all of the time! Attila

  • Bone Thug’s Scoob Movie Review:

    Daphne is still hawt. ‘Nuff said. Four stallions posted at ET for some breakfast this morning — it was a second course for Swirly and Hardywood who had moseyed over the river for some early extra credit. Heres how it went:

    Mosey down Cary to Meadow; dodge the car full of college girls honking and catcalling at Swirly and Hardywood; right on Meadow to Swan Lake and past the Vita Course to the flag.

    Enjoy the Wojo Dogpile Q.

    Swirly and Hardywood mosey back across the Nickel Bridge, YHC and Bone Thug mosey back to ET.

    NMMS: Tclaps to Bone Thug who is straight up crushing it with consistency and sustained effort. Like a freakin Timex, he just keeps on ticking. Have a great weekend, gents!

  • Who is the Q?

    Warm up as normal as it looked to be a slow easy morning as all PAX seemed a little tired and beat from the week.  Little did I know or them that we had a little beat down in store for us!  Traveled the New Market unknown rock walking trail to both ends doing little work at each end.  Once I realized this little trail reminded me of the horseshoe we knew it had to happen!

    The thing:

    Horseshoe back and forth on the long path 4 total times

    1st – 10 merkins and 1 burpee on other end

    2nd – 15 WWII and 2 burpee on other end

    3rd – 20 Squats and 3 burpee on other end

    Ending with 4 brupees. 

    To wrap up the remaining time we explored the neighborhood and hit almost every man hole along with burpees at any yard with sprinkler system on.

    Great to lead this AM and strong work to all.  Have great day and enjoy these warm temps….heat is coming soon!
