  • The Hill Has Eyes

    6 Davillians and now regular from Tuckahoe showed up for a hill repeat day.

    The Rucker got their early start well sort of. Yard Sale forgot it was Thursday and started rucking at Atlee HS and after 20 mins made it to Rutland to join up with Boo Boo.

    Runners heading out of the clubhouse and took the short route to Knollwood. After finishing the lap around Knollwood 3 runners did hill repeat 5x will 2 others continue with a walk/run before the whole PAX headed back tot he clubhouse the longer way getting in just over 4 miles

    Welcome to Tonka who fell victim to what as seem to become a little bit of a tradition in DaVille. EH an FNG but don’t show up for their first post. In this case Bulkhead let the fartsack take over.

    Good to have Handshake out with us and bring his four legged friend

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • DaVille DOC

    It has been awhile since YHC has busted out the F3 workout Deck of Cards (DOC) and we had a trickle of brothers show up this morning, we started with 3 then 4 rolled in with the 5th man posting during the COP, so we had 5 total for this beatdown. Here is what went down:

    COP

    We mosey to the North end of the Parking lot opposite the flag circle up and started with 20 SSH, 10 DQ, 15 Imperial Walkers, 14 Arm Circles 10 small, 4 Big, Reverso with 15 reps, 10 small and 5 big. 20 American Hammers, 20 4ct LBC’s, 10 scorpions and 20 merkins.

    THANG

    So with 5 we drew 3 cards for Exercise rotation. The cards drawn were Shoulder Taps, WOJO Squats, High slow flutter kick. the 2 remaining men ran to the 3rd island and back as the timer, 1 man peeled off when returned to start Shoulder Taps, ST to WOJO Squats, WS to High Slow Flutter kick then HPSK to run with timer. We all rotate until we complete a set and do this 2 more times for a triple check. This makes everyone run 2 x’s as the timer for each set.

    WE repeat the above with 3 new cards and Lunge instead of Running then go to Squat, then Dip then Arm circles. With a minute left we mosey back to flag.

    COT

    Numberama, Namerama, Opus took us out in prayer.

    We have the merkin challenge beginning tomorrow November 1, 2022. This will be fun as we are challenging NJ (Carpenter’s New locale)…so sign up!

    Look for update on HDHH for Wednesday/Thursday tomorrow after we poll on who may be able to make it on either day…most replies wins choice!

    It was an honor to lead this morning gents, have a great week.

    Cheers….CB

  • Still of the night

    Two of us posted for the most recent Punisher. Mosey past the storage shed to open ground for conversational warmup with Imaginary Jump Ropes, IWs, DQs, Helicopters, Suzanne Somers, APDs, and Arm Circles. Relocate to the school wall for Double Check – one guy runs and returns while another completes an exercise – three rounds of three different exercises. Move back to the acorn-free grass for sequence with nine exercise sequence completing 18 reps of one exercise per round and 9 reps of the remaining – work through nine rounds. Mosey back to the start.

  • Stop licking Oyster!!!!!

    Out of this mornings Gloom there appeared 4 men dressed for success but success at what is what we had to find out.

    5:28 and Heist is telling everyone how he just got over the stomach bug yesterday, to wit Oyster shares his thoughts about people who show up to workouts and talk about how sick they were the day before. Nancy and Doozy had to play the part of grumpy old men and tell the youngsters to stop touching each other.

    YHC must get the PAX back on track (or on the track period) mosey to the top of the hill for COP

    Dead Man Hangs, DQ’s, Cherry Pickers, Helicopters, LBC’s walk to the corner to find 3 frisbees with an exercise written on the inside. Do anyone of the 3 exercises x20, mosey to the next corner and Al Gore for the 6, Repeto at all four corners X3

    Mosey back to parking lot, each HIM carried 3 frisbees back with them lay all three in front of you do 10 of the exercise on the first frisbee and then rotate to the spot at the right and do the exercises on first frisbee repeto until you’ve been to every spot 3 times or until you’ve done every exercise on every frisbee.

    Finish out with an ab speed round ring of fire 15 count each American Hammers, Scrunchy Frogs, Hello Dollies, Rossalittas, Heals to Heaven and Smerf Jacks

    BTTF Numbers / Names Oyster took us out

    NMS:

    The mumblechatter started out strong this morning and quickly tapered as YHC had a little more ground than pound in his beatdown this A.M.

    YHC did try to do the shoulder tap merkins but it was a no go when it came to the actual pushup part so Shoulder taps and Plank Jacks can be added back into the beatings from this part forward.

  • Fly By Night

    Fifteen runners undaunted by winged nocturnal predators embarked on the streets of the Fan.

    East on Grove to Antrim to Monument and continue heading east. 4s turn at the Blvd, 5s at Strawberry, and 6s at Stuart Circle. Everyone comes back on Monument and turns on Layfayette, to Grove.

    Pretty straightforward. Faceplant did not get lost.

  • Feliz Cumpleaños

    You might have thought that the reason you knock on doors tonight is because 505 years ago, Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door on the Castle church in Wittenberg, Germany. Or maybe you thought we celebrate today because it’s Halloween. Nope! We celebrate today because it’s Whitesnake’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Whitesnake!

    COT:

    Lord make me an instrument of your peace.

    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.

    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 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.

    We started with a pretty standard COP where the Q was on his soapbox about something inconsequential and got called out. it was funny.

    Then we moseyed to the fields past the new basketball court thats being built and started on a suicide ladder with added exercises starting with 10, then 20, 30/40… it was too far and gruesome

    next we did a football field sized 4 corners where the exercises compounded and you had to run back to the start each time – we even bear crawled a bit. mosey back to the flag for some Mary which was one single Don Q

    YHC took us out.

    Impact stopped by while coaching a practice run for WeOffTheCouch and promised to come back soon and hopefully headlock some guys from Blackwell/Manchester

    The ol’ ball coach got out his ol’ ball hugger shorts and put together a spooky tribute to All Hallows Eve, with special guest appearances from Mork, Ant Man, and a most Glam Rock Mr. Rogers, though his outfit kinda resembled Mankind.  The DogPile ink was a nice touch.  Soundtrack of the morning included tracks from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Gremlins, and we threw in Rockwell’s Somebody’s Watching Me, Thriller, Highway to Hell, and Crazy Train.  The Freaks Come Out at Night was on deck when time expired.  Grateful for this group and doing dumb things to keep it fresh and fun. #MDPFA  Who You Gonna Call?  Coach Hutton!
