I hope it was a great day fellas!
Lighthouse and I ran around the school approximately 8 times for a distance around 5K. The first 5 trips around the school included 2 stops each circuit for 20 Merkins and 20 Dips. After the first 5 circuits, I think we got around another 2 stops each circuit with 2 stops for 20 Squats and 20 Crunchy Frogs. One last trip to finish off the remaining time. Lighthouse took the long way.
We discussed science and the replication of results.
3 runners and 2 ruckers got showed up for the second ruck and first run day of the week
Runners Route – Head over to the trail in Cool Spring Forest West then turning around and come back. We did and run/walk to get in 3.75 miles
Ruckers did their thing
Title to the backblast said it all. Typical suburban Dad mumble chatter this morning
SPIT ON THAT!!
YHC rolled into the Forge to find Tuckahoe clown cars erupting with First Watch maniacs (all proudly wearing their nonsense shirts …you have to be one to understand), including Kubota who claimed a virgin attendance at the AO – well that changes everything! Scrapped the planned field trip for a caber beatdown to run a tour of the Forge favorites. Here we go!

NMS: What a pleasure to have the summer tour in force at the Forge today – you can always count on some hilarious mumble chatter from the First Watch gang. The Forge tour ended up producing a wonderful well rounded sweatfest, and everyone was in agreement that it was better than the caber alternative. Also enjoyed the iced coffeerama afterwards. SYITG, DTH
Announcements (SEE SLACK!)
YHC was pleasantly surprised by five pickleballers for the practice. Moseyed to the tennis court and COP (10 x deadman hang, 10 x helicopter). YHC briefly reviewed the rule for the newer. Played doubles and single.
A couple of things to note:
Moseyed back to the flag and numbers and names.
Announcement: “Back-to-School Pickleball Tournament on 8/26/2023” Please refer to the detailed posted in the preblast in Event section.
Bobbery took us out and coffee was provided by YHC.
Lots of mublechatter in slack but no one grabbed the Q so Rosie and YHC combined the worst of our grabbag of ideas and hit the pavement. It went something like this:
1-mile warmup (Left on Midlo Turnpike, Left on Coalfield, Left on Woolridge, Left on Grove Hill) – Circle up at the bottom of Mt. Midlo.
1 hard pace trip up Mt. Midlo, recover jog down to the Midlo Middle track.
1 x Magic Mile – (A prediction formula based upon a one mile time trial… You can run a measured mile at a good, hard pace for you, and use the time to predict what you could run at longer distances.)
Recover back to the bottom of Mt. Midlo.
2.5 more trips up Mt. Midlo to finish out the workout.
Circle up to close out with the SOT crew.

It was great to have a 10-man crowd out for some miles this morning and a heck of a workout. Thanks for pushing it this morning gents!
Dusty Bottoms, Lucky Day and Ned Needlelander rose early to prune the hedges of many small villages. Humidity was in the forecast. Here is what was rumored to have occurred according to legend of El Juapo.
5.30 struck, short mosey to the Henrico’s smallest park only to find a dewey mist on the meadows. Quick change of plans to the point of the triangle for introductions, disclaimers and warm ups that included Arm Circles, Invisible Jump Rope, SSH, Merkins, LBC’s, Jazzercise and others that YHC has forgotten.
Ventrue down to the Devils taint with a Lindsay along the way at each intersection. Carolina Dry Docks and Flutterkicks were the chosen exercises.
At the warm, humid center of the taint a triple check was called. Dancing Bears and WWII’s performed while timer runs to the 4th No Parking Sign initially, change after round 1 to the 3rd No Parking Sign for the final 2 rounds.
Love Hill back up S. Ridge. Timer runs to Overlook and returns. Bearcrawl, Lunges and Broad Jumps performed by the mobile partner.
Mosey back to the flag stopping at Country Squire and the triangle for 20 merkins and 20 squats each.
BTTF for quick mary of American Hammers, APD’s and LBC’s

Safe travels to Kubota on his 2 week exodus.
NMS: Lite crew today with summer tours, vacation and the temptation of the fart sack always strong. Good mumble chatter on this wandering Q. No air circulation at the taint as expected but still enjoyable. Thank you fellas for joining YHC today.
