Ten determined men showed up in the early morning light at Hoedown for what promised to be a challenging workout. Though my memory is a bit hazy on exactly why I volunteered to Q this session, I’m glad I did!

YHC and 2.0 Snare delivered an abundance of piping hot Genova’s pizza along with some homemade goodies and sides to the great folks at the Daily Planet on Sunday. As we walked in we got a hearty welcome and a joyous “we were hoping for pizza”. Boom, wish granted! Football was on the tv. Service and fellowship was had for a short while and souls were fed. they were still talking about Vandelay’s sandwiches too. fill up that Q- sheet for the last weekend of the month men! No More Gumbo For You!
YHC rolled into the Mammoth/IronHaul parking lot to see what might be on the menu for this gloom. We’ve been discussing swapping the 2 AO’s to allow Monday to be a recovery day and doing KB’s on Tuesdays. Anyway! It was a solo party for this lonely Beaver so YHC opted for the Iron Haul run and logged some miles all over PFP while ensuring I did not encounter any copperheads!
Bullseye and YHC cruised around JRHS and River Downs for an out and back 4 miler. Weather was nice, 70 and sunny as always. Good conversation, good pace.
A Bakers Dozen joined for a Monday morning beatdown just a couple days from a epic S-SOJ CSAUP and this is what happened. Mosey to the opposite side of the Parking Lot for a COP of various exercises. Make a left out of the Parking Lot towards where the newer section of the neighborhood is being built. Get 2 Partners for a Triple Check. P1 runs down the Cul-de-sac and back, P2 LBC’s, P3 HRM’s, switch for a total of 3 rounds. Bear Crawl across the street and then Mosey to the a lit Pumpkin (all but one on top…
My 2.0 and yours truly had the privilege of serving homemade sandwiches and soup to 10 souls at the Southside Health Center. Thanks for coordinating @Oyster. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40
Six men converged at the Carillon ready to battle the elements and suffer through an hour in the pouring rain that did not materialize. According to the ducks in the boat lake, this is what happened while it was not raining. Mosey to the former location of the police officer memorial COP: SSH, Helicopters, DQ, IW, Copperhead Squats, Ukrainian Soldiers, Merkins, LBC’s, APDs, Planks Migrate around the reservoir to Boat Lake for The Dirty McDeuce: Four rounds of three exercises, 12 reps each, followed by a quarter mile lap around the triangle.

YHC posted with 5 of Charlottes finest. Workout was kettlebel and lucky for me the Q Toby lent me one. Warmarama: Standard set of warm ups. COP: Completed various kettlebell exercises taking a lap around parking lot after each set. Sets consisted of 3x3x20. Exercises included overhead press, skullcrushers, curls, lawnmower, squats, pull ups, front raises, bench press, WWIII’s, etc. Q took us out in prayer
5 guys split into 3 and 2 for a Sunday Funday loop fest. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the lady showing her hip high hornet stings (true story), the following might have happened. 3 ran a loop. YHC didn’t Q this, and he has no idea what happened. 2 rucked a different loop. YHC didn’t Q this either, but is sure it happened. North through the park to Floyd, then right, then on Arthur Ashe Blvd. Then, we looped the lakes, and BTTVSF. Numbers, names, and off to coffeeteria for an hour-long circle of trust. Announcements: None NMS:…
4 guys launched for 9+ miles running and 4 walkers (+ 1 four-legged friend) took off for some easy miles and conspiracy theories. half-mile into the run, YHC commented how much nicer it felt than Friday’s RAMM, but by the time we descended to the bottom of Otterdale and into Founders Bridge, we were questioning where the oxygen went. The long uphill slog began in Founders Bridge and continued up Winterfield – an aggressive route to be sure from a traffic perspective, but we made it back to the top and enjoyed 4 flat miles back to the VSF. There…
