Prarie Doggin
Today’s edition of Morning Wood featured locked bathrooms much to the dismay of OC. Thankfully we finished the run in time for him to book it to the nearest store’s bathroom before Tobit’s beatdown. Never did find out where he went but glad the prarie dog was released into the wild safely.

Reverso
A little mix up for April Fools Day for the 4 PAX that stuck around for the boot camp. After the 2 runners left us to get lost in Riverdowns North the boot campers began with a little Mary. A little trip in reverse around the AO with a start at the playground for 1 round of the Murph. Tribute to Honeymoon who considered putting the PAX through the Murph this week instead of last week but YHC already had the Q.
Travel the mean back streets of JRHS avoiding the oncoming bus all the way to the track. At the track push a couple rounds of the Mega-beast -2 full laps is one round. Squats and merkins. Easy mosey to the workout playground for a pull up rotation – 1 PAX does 5 merkins, others plank and do 10 merkins. Bypass the tires for the tennis courts and a bear crawl 4 corners on a tennis court. Next up some warm up with parking lot tracers in the bus parking lot. 4 rounds of burp in a box at the front entrance of the school. Finally some warm up of LBC, merkins, IW, DQ, SSH. Disclaimer and back to the flag.
No one really noticed since the middle of the workout is generally the same, but the workout ran in reverse with Mary first and COP warmup at the end.
Good times this morning. Have a great weekend gentlemen. Thanks for letting me lead you around this morning

NOT a solo Q
2 men showed up for a chilly and wet morning beatdown, working toward the weekend.
COP: mosey to center of front parking lot, SSH, DQ, LBC’s, helicopters, Ukrainian soldiers, merkins.
No need to mosey for first exercise, modified 4 corners, starting in the middle, do 10 SSH, then run to first corner of lot, 40 LBC’s, return to center for 10 more SSH, run to next corner for 40 lunges, return for 10 SSH, run to next corner for 40 shoulder taps, return and 10 SSH, run to last corner for 40 calf raises.
Mosey to middle of school, partner up (with only 2 people this was easy), one partner does the exercise while the other starts lunging around the perimeter, when exercise is complete run to catch partner, switch out, continue until all exercises are done by both partners. Exercises were American hammers, Helix squats, merkins, Bobbie Hurley’s, 30 reps.
Run back to parking lot for a few minutes of stretching, numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

YHC was having a VERY busy, stressful week of work, looking forward to Q’ing this morning, but a 5:31 was contemplating returning home to walk our dog for 45 minutes instead when Yardsale zoomed into the AO. Thanks Yardsale! Great mumblechatter this morning on variety of topics, including Hanover County School’s LGBTQ+ policies and how it’s great to be able to talk about these issues with friends who have differing views, just another benefit of F3!
As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing…

Legend of Zelda
Twelve men and a Pooch took to the mean streets surrounding Godwin HS for various mileages. Legend has it the route was 5 miles, though no one’s watch could track it. Too many lefts apparently. Here’s where they went:
The Route
- L on Pump
- L on Falconbridge
- L on Raintree
- R on Ridgefield
- L on Cox
- L on Brookmont (zig zag at end to Pump)
- R on Pump (L on Pump and circle Godwin for shorter route)
- L on John Rolfe
- L on Glen Eagles
- L on Old Prescott back to the Flag
Numberama, Nameorama, COT
MOLESKIN
With the route pre-published, no instruction was necessary. At 0530 the runners launched while the walkers awaited an FNG. All returned safely with complaints that the route was somehow all uphill and no downhill, just like the route our parents walked to and from school. Handshake has a name for the route. Welcome Soul Train’s FNG, Link. Hope to see you at DogPile. Prank your Ms today, they love that.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Whitesnake has a bluegrass festival to support Fisher House – Needs volunteers and attendees
- There’s probably maybe doubtfully a HDHH Wednesday at The Answer – No Q at the moment
- Gypsy is restarting West End lunch 2nd F – details to follow

Not what you expected
YHC found 10 other gloom challengers waiting in ready position. This being April 1st YHC was full of challenges. After COP YHC called for a run to Genito which was met with groans. Luckily this was just April fools. YHC had also conspired with Hermie to move Roscos car during workout but he fartsacked. My personal favorite as getting to AO early enough to get Jinxy to ask for Rosco’s 2.0’s hand in marriage, but that did not workout, so on to the workout.
COP- 20 each SSH, LBC; 10 Each DQ’s, Jazzercise, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Tic/Toc’s, Coper head squat, Dead man hang, Merkins, Flutters, Dollies.
Run to the villages. We appeared to be going to Genito but YHC made a hard right at the last second. Run the villiages stopping at each side street to perform PAX called exercises building in increments of 10. Started with 10 Merkins and included but not limited to: Drydocks, monkey humpers, Squats, LBC’s, etc. On the hill we did a 3X’s repeato with a Bernie down exercise and run back up. Made it to 100 then started reverso back down to 60 before we reached the flag. A lightning round of Mary finished us off.
Announcements:
Prayer Requests. Prayers to all PAX traveling over spring break.
YHC took us out in prayer. Make today AWESOME!

March Gladness
An elite eight made their way out of the fartsack to gather for 45 minutes of beatdown. According to the running man circling us like a bat out of hell, here’s what transpired:
COP: Deadman hang // Helicopters // DQs // Imperial Walkers // Ukrainian Soldiers // ADPs // LBCs // Merkins // Elbow Plank // Pickle Pounders
7 of Diamonds: On the blacktop, run from corner to corner, performa exercises in increments of 7. 7 Jump squats // Next round: 14 Merkins each corner // 21 LBCs // 28 squats // 21 2-count flutter kicks // 14 carolina dry-docks // 7 Burpees.
Knockout! : We played 3 rousing rounds of knockout at the basketball court. SSH while waiting in line, American Hammers and WW2s when you get knocked out. Honeydo won 1 game, Upchuck won 2!
Final COP: Crunchy frogs, 5 Burpees OYO
Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.
NMS: Being the last day of March, and having not enjoyed basketball in the darkness thus far this month, YHC thought it was fitting to end the month with a game of knockout. It was shocking how many of the guys had never played this game! Super fun time and thanks guys for giving it a go.
In this season of Lent, let’s all be brave enough to face up to the darkest places in our own souls, and ask God and other people for help.

Cadence-Garage-Little Burpee Excursion
A decent day for a nice morning run with a mixed upper body exercise. We ran around the pond area and started to warm up with my awesome bad cadence routine, at least 30 dips. Then we ran to the garage and add 1 burpee on every turn up to the top (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 burpees). Then ran down with 10 LBCs every turn. 2nd round with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 burpees. Ran down with 10 sumo-squats every turn. The 3rd round with 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 merkins. Wow, we have 5 minutes left. Pinto showed us the shortcut back to the Parking lot. What an awesome workout with great fellows who did not complain anything about my burpees. Yippy!
