3 Crunchy Champions emerged from the gloom for a freaky Friday Ruck where YHC happened to throw in some arbitrary exercises to the count of 13 reps oyo with the ruck sack.
Frozen Triangle coming up on the 21st, get some if you missed the first one last weekend.
Prayers for Choo Choo hip region heals up.
YHC closed us out. Get after it men! We’re never promised tomorrow.
What is Michael Jackson’s favorite AO? Currahee-hee!
Here’s where the Pax moonwalked today:
Numberama, Nameorama, COT
MOLESKIN
Welcome Banjo for his first tour of Currahee proper. His real introduction will be getting lost in Deep Run Park. Pinto gave us an Irish goodbye as we crossed over Gaskins. Either Gypsy stood up Blue Moon or there was a miscommunication. Somehow Handshake knew and went to the Tunnel. Happy Friday the 13th, look out for crazed machete wielding hockey players. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, make your lady feel real special by buying all the discount flowers and candy on Sunday.

Real Frozen Triangle – 2/21 0600 @DogPile
A 4-top full of studs rocked out at the Lounge for Friday the 13th and we kept it moving to stay warm. No counting (until COT), lots of mumblechatter, corners were covered, laps were moseyed and plenty of Abs work to prepare for Valentine’s day and Spring Break. Then, it was Last Call for coffee to close out the Lounge. Great work men. Happy Friday.
Numbers, Names, Prayers…
No More Gumbo For You! – until Dogpile tomorrow if you are up for it…there is no Lounge at Dogpile.
2 men decided to beat the fart sack and get a workout in this morning. We decided to do a moving COP.
We moved from entrance to school all the way around the school, stopping at different places to do a COP exercise.
Two Runners and Four Ruckers went on an exploration trip the check out the retreating glaciers in Rutland and the surrounding neighborhoods.
The Ruckers left with just 3 but returned 45 minutes later having found a fourth wondering around.
The Runners decided to check out the side walks between Rutland and Giles and safely navigated some of the still very icy spots. As they came back, YHC noticed that they had extra time, so he decided to guide them into the townhomes next to the YMCA. This loop will end with running down a paved path which was mostly clear. At this point, the pace had picked up quite a bit. They turned down the last sidewalk heading for home. YHC, being the clumsiest runner in F3RVA did something that possibly no runner or walker has ever done along that stretch of sidewalk. There is a step towards the end of the sidewalk, and YHC, not noticing the step, tripped right over it. BAM! stopped with YHC making sure he was okay. YHC will have to wait 24 hours to see what type of shape he was in after the crash. Regardless, the excitement of exploration had ended, and the PAX members slowly jogged back to the VSF or just over 4 miles.
COP: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, No Idea took us out.
NMS: Thank you BAM! for helping me get back this morning. Still shocked that with my headlamp, I did not see it. Will never forget its there again. Great seeing Mustang when we returned to the AO.
Announcements: Frozen Triangle next weekend

February 21: Frozen Triangle
COT
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is Circus Maximus, coffee; (Whitesnake addition)
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Apehangers graciously went way out of his way to pick YHC up / 4x headed down I 595 and even provided a coupon in exchange for a little 2nd F cheer. Our Q solidly dealt with getting 1% better every time despite constant jeering for having a winkie inked on the palm of his hand. All in all a good workout with a great group of guys
🔥 WARMARAMA
A jog with some butt kickers, high knees, and Bernie’s. Light exercises to get us into the Valentines Day mood: monkey humpers, pickle pounders, Fudd’s wife and then Wilson’s wife.
Turned on Valentine’s Day playlist. Finding love songs that were not slow and sappy was a task but we succeeded.
Mosey to the turf field to recount love lost.
💪 THE THANG
Cupid’s Arrow
To honor all those times the teenage PAX were shot out of Cupid’s bow like a love arrow only to suffer heartbreak and then mend.
Heart Rate Escalator
A ladder-style burn to ensure the PAX left with a rosy red face.
Then we worked our way back down.
Now that the PAX remembered love, suffered heartbreak, and healed, they were ready to tie the knot.
The Wedding Ring
The PAX forms a large circle.
Mosey back up the hill for one final push.
Heartbreak Hill
Move the whole PAX to the base of the hill to climb the Valentine’s ladder.
Mosey BTTF 🇺🇸
🧘 MARY
Various an burners. Ended with a minute of Alabama Prom Dates which is 45 seconds longer than any of the PAX ever lasted.
