Muggy run this morning. Two emerged from the shadows of Reds in search of miles to jog. The result was successful. 4 miles for YHC, couple more for BE.
Route – something like Chepstow to Salisbury to Gildenborough back to Salisbury.
Thanks to Draper and the crew for the Homegrown 10K.

A Big number of 15 Came out for this iteration of the Alamo. This included some passport stamp seekers of the summer tour. Great to see a big number and nice work to the handful of Alamoians for making it out. Apparently some of them have been on vacation everyday but Thursday all summer? After some brief comments about YHC’s mom, away we went. According to Handshake’s mom this is what transpired.

One semi-crippled pax member joined several Physical Therapists who were waiting around for their first patients at OrthoVA Shrader Road at 0645 this beautiful morning.
Lay on table and perform several exercises for my crippled knee(s). Therapist added a new one this morning: Alabama Prom Dates while squeezing a medicine ball between my knees. Two sets x 15 reps. Female therapists present were not impressed.
Head over to the machines and perform weighted exercises while therapist tries to make small talk with me about his weekend. I am really not interested.
Cool down with some stretching and ice.
45 minutes up!
Change clothes and head to work.
NMS:
YHC remembers a time when someone wrote a backblast about going for a random solo bike ride. I believe it was TYA. Then, I believe it was Saab, who said because of that he was going to write a backblast every time he went to The JCC to workout.
I haven’t posted in awhile, but since they had me do the modified APD’s, I thought a backblast was neccesary.
SYITG!

YHC thinks he got that right, but in any case, 3 men of driving means met on the mean streets of Westham for a meandering beatdown. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the facilities person who showed up 45 minutes late for his work(out), the following might have happened:
COP:
Mosey to the small teacher’s parking lot. Triangle up.
Surprisingly, we started with side-straddle hops. Saab-style. No cadence, Handshake-style.
Dead Man Hang.
Right leg high. Left leg high.
Hand release ‘mercans. Or, in Bodo’s’ case, no release, all-dry ‘mercans.
(Side Note: YHC posits that possessive of “Bodo’s” would be “Bodo’s’.” Please put your thoughts in the Comments. And, while you are at it, hit “Like” and “Subscribe.”).
Copperhead Squats.
Imperial Walkers.
Mosey 3 Paces to YHC’s Left for Parking Space Trios
3 mercans, 3 WWIIs, 3 squats at each space. Approximately 18 spaces. 3 burpees at any space that is marked “No Parking.”
Mosey to the School for 7’s
Like elevens, only 7s. Flutter kicks and decline ‘mercans on the asphalt hill. Run to the wall and back.
Touch-a-Tree.
Touch x number of trees. But, you can’t touch the same tree 2 times. Except, because there are not many trees, but there are lots of tree trunks, you can touch multiple trunks on the same tree.
Bonus: Touching the Tuckahoe Rock triggers a 2x multiple.
Negative: Touching the Tuckahoe Rock AND touching the same tree trunk two times triggers a .5x multiplier (a penalty factor, if you will). Remember, kids, even one of the 10 Commandments calls out liars and cheaters.
Triangle Up. Numbers, names, and YHC took us out with a message of thanks.
Great to see you two today. Thank you for letting me lead.
🔥 WARMARAMA
Mosey to gates of football field for Side Straddle Hops, Cherry Pickers, Dead Man Hangs, Chuck Norris Merkins, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, etc.
Moseyed to bottom of ramp, causing rando parked car to flee upon seeing six studs carrying huge bells blaring “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath.
💪 THE THANG
Hill 1: American 250
That ramp was long. Very long. Slosey to hill 2 at the base to Mt. Chaplain.
Hill 2: 11s
DTH was a stud holding the SA OH KB carry for all sets. That hill was long. Very long. Found a dry spot to lay on back and hit 20 KB chest presses, 15 KB curls for the girls, and 10 KB WWIIs.
Slosey up Mt. Chaplain to hill 3 in main parking lot.
Hill 3: Slogger
MOSEY BTT🇺🇸
No Mary, no time.
🗣️ COT
Dealer’s musings: It was an honor leading your brothers this morning. The hills were grueling, the counting was a lot, the music was banging, and you boys brought it and owned the hills. LFG.
Two aquamen posted on this rainy but perfect Monday morning at Atlee High School for a hot-potato beatdown that went something like this.

NMS:
Where was everybody today? DaVille does have a Messenger group. Often one of us will put out a message asking who is posting tomorrow. Again, there were no responses. Should we assume that nobody will make it out? Well, today two who did not HC posted today. Rainy days and Mondays did not get us down or away. We actually did not get that wet. Today’s workout also included zero running. We did not take a run, jog, anything. It was all walking and exercising. That is likely a first for YHC at a DaVille bootcamp.
The entire workout was done at the commons entrance to Atlee High School. There was a large trash cart filled to the top with water. Why was it there and how did so much water get into it? How long will it stay there? Will it be there next week? Post next week and find out.

Gotta Run!

A fitting six-pack assembled in the Deep for the start of a series of beastly Qs by YHC. Here is how it went down:
Great work on this muggy morning. Dawg days of August are here. YHC has a few Qs this week, and has designated it “Beast Week.” There is feast week around the Thanksgiving calendar. Let’s get beastly this week.
Gridiron at Lake Anna on 8/15. See Tater for details. Tuesday lunch next week at Pig & Fish, Fish & Pig, whatever it is called.
God is good all of the time!
Attila
YHC signed up days in advance and was being Cryptic signing up under The Prodigal Son. Maybe it was foreshadowing because the actual Prodigal Son was Winehouse, what great surprise.
8 men, 2 hungover men, and 1 horny Pax member making 11 met for Dogpile. YHC was not firing on all Cylinders, but managed to lead one of the greatest F3 workouts ever imagined.
Mosey from the Parking Lot to the Toll Booth Parking Lot for an uninspiring COP. Mosey to the middle of the Nickel Bridge. Once in the middle of the Nickel Bridge split into 2 groups. Group 1 (YHC’s group) Mosey across the River to the top of the Trailhead. Group 2 Mosey back across the River to the Toll Booths. Once each of the groups get to their destination they turn around and meet back in the middle. Exercises at each Lightpost: 10 Jump Squats, 10 HRM’s, 10 WWII’s, 10 Overheard Seal Claps.
Mosey down to the Pipe Loop. As one group we ran the Pipe Loop. Senor Frog sprinted up the hill and immediately blew his load and walked the rest of the time.
Mosey to Love Hill and Mosey up the Hill. Both by Bernie or regular. 20 Dips at the top of the hill.
Prayer Requests – YHC’s M’s Cousin’s Daughter Charlotte who had been fighting Cancer and just passed at 11 years old. F3 RVA – DaVille – fighting Cancer. Saltlicks SIL just got diagnosed with intestinal Cancer. John? The older gentleman who we see after Dogpile that is friends with Upchuck for over 17 years collapsed and was dead for over 15 minutes but has a second lease on life.
Announcements – Breaking Bread
NMS – great to be back at Dogpile after a month hiatus. YHC was excited to see Winehouse make a return, apparently he works with Saltlick.
3 guys ran, 4 guys rucked.
Upchuck and EF Hutton were a couple of slow Chatty Cathy’s. Senor Frog had his Cock Rings.
Good times at Coffee.
2 30 something year olds emerged from their slumber to attack the legs and core!
