Pax of one for River Run. With rain in the forecast for the third straight week it may have been another no-show but YHC decided to make sure that streak ended.
4ish milers – head south on Robious, left at shopping center towards Independence Golf Course. Left and loop around neighborhood. Return by the high school with some added bonus areas.
5 and 6 mile routes – negative captain.
6 of the usual suspects made their way out of the dark into the light of Hoedown for a Honeydo Q. 5:30 no Honeydo so Handshake took the reigns and lead the PAX on a short mosey across the street to Bodos’s work place.
COP: Handshake
SSH, DQ’s, Cherry Pickers, Inverted Scorpion Kicks, WWII’s and possibly a couple others
Get to the corner for some four corner action
Corner 1 – 10 Burpees, bear crawl, corner 2 – 20 Merkins, Bernie Sanders, Corner 3 – Monkey Humpers, run, Corner 4 – LBC’s
Handshake hands the Q to Garbage Plate
Run the length of the Parking lot and back while GP thinks of what to do
Line up on the first Parking Lot spot Jump back and forth over the line 25 times on each side, modified parking lot merkins bear crawl two spots for 3 merkins, crab walk two spots for 3 merkins all the way down. Back on the end line, X cross overs (way to much coordination for YHC) repeat parking lot merkins.
Triple up at the curb, Partner 1 – run the length of the parking lot, partner 2 – balls to the wall, partner 3 – LBC’s
Same triplets for five minutes of pain – 3 doing 2 donkey kicks while other 3 do shoulder taps, switch, and the increase each time by 2. YHC believes we made it to 22
Garbage Plate asked who wanted to take the Q and with no volunteers YHC was Voluntold and away we went. Mosey back to the flag parking lot for 11’s run across short side of parking lot Bernie up the hill 10 American Hammers, run back across 1 scrunchy frog. As usual YHC got thrown off at the 6,5 5,6 mark and Handshake figured out YHC was increasing on both sides.
Numbers/Names – BODOS said he was feeling lead to let YHC know YHC was feeling lead to take us out. It is always a privilege for YHC to speak to the Creator on behalf of the PAX.
NMS:
YHC was going to poke fun at the fact that Honeydo fartsacked on us this morning but YHC had to first make sure that Honeydo was in fact fartsacking. After a text back from Honeydo telling YHC all is well, I can thankfully report that not only did Honeydo Fart Sack on us he also Brain Farted thinking that he signed up to Q next week. Thanks and Golf claps to Handshake for taking control of the situation and leading the PAX.

Great job EF. thanks for coming out to Batteau this morning enjoyed it man. Mostly a ground an pound this morning – but we each got our mile in before and after the workout .
See ya in the gloom..
Two geriatric-veterans turned out for a extended trail run covering various scenes and sites of the RVA river banks. Having ignored the prior day’s weather forecasts of torrential rain, cloudy and cool conditions prevailed to make it a perfect morning for a long run. Social-D was practiced among the pax who took two separate routes. Great second-F in the ETs parking lot using the bed of a Lally Construction vehicle as a yardstick.
Inaugural Capital Trail Quarantine 50 miler next Saturday. See TYA or Olivander for details.
Saab abides when able
6 Beastly Pax members And 1 Dog hit the streets of new market this morning as the mist fell from the sky.
4 – Runners got anywhere from 5.5 to 7 miles
2 walkers got 3.5 plus miles as well!
Strong work gents!
No rain but soggy fields forced the loyal Gridiron PAX (just at the social distancing high water mark) to transition to the turf field at Striker Park for a date with a deck of cards. Here is how it went down:
Good work from the PAX today. We remained in formation, appropriately distanced and achieved a full body workout, including some cardio. Prayers for everyone as the uniqueness of quarantine is starting to wear off after 6 weeks. This is not easy, but God is good all of the time!

A nudge by Corporate early in the week to fill a gap in the Q sheet was just what YHC needed. Far too long and few DogPile Q’s highlight YHC’s file. Great to have Flatline back out in the gloom. He remains the F3 Covid Czar and instructs the PAX to watch how things go in Sweden with herd immunity. Though he hopes for a halfcourt shot vaccine in 8 months he suggests that everyone forget about sports and concerts for a really long time. On a far less serious note, ask Gomer to demonstrate his new and improved version of Gorilla Humpers and ask Hardywood to show you his Real World audition tape.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
First Annual Inaugural Bone Thugs 10k coming in August
Memorial Day Murph
Just when you thought Hardywood and Swirly couldn’t get anymore super, they decided to run to the run before the workout. Next week, they plan to run to the run before the run to the thing. Along their merry way they picked up 3 more. Just to keep things fresh, the PAX took a right on Freeman off of Cary and proceeded past City Stadium to Douglasdale, to Blanton, Rugby, and Pumphouse back around to DogPile launch. Route after the thing was direct. Roughly 4 miles were covered. Hardywood will be putting out his own Best Sellers list soon.
8 Davillans including one FNG came out to enjoy so fresh air and a social distancing beatdown
This is how it went down
COP (ALL IC) – SSH, DQ, Hillbillies, Arm Circles
THANG
Merkin Mile – While running a mile, we stop every 1/4 mile to complete 25 merkins
The completion of the merkin mile brought us to the woods behind the Atlee football field to a large hill not used in over a year
Jacob’s Ladder – Running up the hill completing one burpee then run down and back up to complete 2 burpees. Rinse and repeat till 7 burpees
Daville Love Hill – Partner up, heading back up the Public Works service road. Partner 1 runs to the gate, completes 10 squats, 10 merkins, and 10 LBC’s, then runs back to Partner 2. Partner 2 is lunging up towards the gate. Switch, rinse, and repeat with bear crawling and polar bears.

Another great showing for our temporary Saturday morning workout. Great to see Helix and Pavarotti who don’t normally come out during the week.
The Carpenter set a record today. First time he has post twice in one week in over 6 to 9 months, haha
Its always great to make it out to “The Hill” aka Circle K’s hill. Since its back in the woods and a good mile run to get there, we typically only use it in the last Spring and Summer when its lighter out in the gloom. It never false to beat us down
Welcome to Spook! Neighbors with Pavarotti, he pushed through the workout even thou running is not his thing
No major announcements this morning other than The Carpenter M (Laurie) seem have turned the corner with this illness she has been dealing with. Prayers also for all those still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
SPIT ON THAT!!
1 Monster and seventeen other dudes posted on the perfect morning for a run. Weather was 70 and sunny. Route was west on Grove to 3Chopt, put a foot on 3chopt, run back to MM to the bus circle. Thugs ran the whole shabang and crushed it. Most of the supporters did 5k the hardway (25 merkins and 25 squats every 1/2 mile).
Congrats to THUGGZZZZZZ for dedicating himself to something and getting after it. In that light, he announced post run that he would do a 10K at the beginning of August. The first annual Bone Thug 10k is now on the books.
TYA OUT
