10 hombres gathered to see what THE Handshake had planned for Heartbreak Ridge. YHC got out of the car at 0529 and heard Atilla making jokes at Honeydos expense, 30 seconds of “pleasantries” and the clock his 0530 and we began to mosey. Circle up at the base of the Track at Quioccasin for a COP. Mosey down Quioccasin and across to Westridge. And turn right at Westridge where it and Camrose split. Start at house 1 and complete 10 HRM’s, mosey to house 2 and complete 20 WWII’s, mosey to house 3 and complete 30 Squats, mosey to house…
Introduction: Machismo Interrupted the International Intrigue The air hung heavy with anticipation, not just for the impending pain, but for the latest installment of O.C.’s gripping tales of youthful indiscretions abroad. Just as he was reaching a particularly scandalous crescendo involving questionable trash can vandalismo, Machismo, in a move of audacious Q-jacking, declared his morning dominion. With the gravitas of a man who just found a rogue sock in the dryer, he somberly announced the NFL draft’s glaring omission of any F3RVA alumni. The mission was laid bare: to cultivate those vital pods of manliness, those crucibles of community leadership.…
two gentleman set out to find out the answer to this question. As well as “how early is too early?” “On a Saturday?” “Was this a good idea?” “Is this fun?” “Are we going to make it back on time?” “Is 12/mile reasonable for an overall pace on a trail run?” Answers were deemed to be yes it’s a pre-run, before 430, yes on a Saturday, it was an idea, yes, we did somehow, yes but only by pushing it when the trail opens up. Got it a little over 10k. Great to catch up with Big Rig. Glad to…
Two posted on a beautiful Friday morning. For those of your who overslept, you missed the Celestial Smiley Face. Truthfully we were a little late, we could only see the smile and one eye (planet). The other eye was below the tree line. When it’s just 2 of us, I like to wing it a little. After warming up with the regulars like SSH’s, LBC’s, Don Quixote’s, Hand Release Merkins, Arm Circles, etc. We did a little 4 corners of the parking lot. 1st corner was 25 copperhead squats, 2nd corner was 25 abs (flutter kicks, heals to heaven, etc…).…
Thirteen, that’s right, thirteen of the hoe’s and near-hoe’s finest, gathered in the fading gloom for this week’s iteration of Hoedown.

80% of the Splinter clan planned and participated in this past Sunday’s Breaking Bread. Last minute commitments prevented us from breaking bread with them, only drop off and setup this time around. 2.0s planned, shopped, prepared, cooked, packaged, and served this week. YHC was only required for transportation. Meal was parmesan crusted chicken, asparagus, french bread, caesar salad, and cookie brownies for dessert. A fun time was had by all.

One rucker and the rest runners; off we went on our routes. All distances were covered.
According to the school alarm that our hotness turned off, we did the following: Warmed up near the front door with an assortment of exercises including SSH, DQ, Merkins, Helicopters, Reverse Crunches and Suzanne Somers. We then moseyed to the back picnic tables and did elevens–starting with ten dips, ran up the hill to the blacktop and did one Hand Release Merkin. That hill is no joke. Next we did four Abs corners in honor of our missing leader Tater: corner 1: 20 Heals to Heaven; corner 2: 30 two count Hammers; corner 3: 40 two count Flutters; corner 4:…
