Browsing: 45 Minutes of Mary

Mary Munford Elementary

14 faithful & strong men showed up ready to jump into Richmond’s inaugural moving of the blocks at this morning’s 45 Minutes of Mary workout. All were up for the challenge, and some may have even named their block. The party got started after several efforts by Johnsonville to mimic (mock?) TYA’s special Side Straddle Hop technique. More please. THE BLOCKIN’ THANG Head to the stack and grab a block, mosey over to the near soccer field with your block A blockin’ COP: Merkins x12 Block Curls x12 Flutter Kicks x20 Block Military Press x12 Block Lawnmower Pulls x6 (each…

No question on the Q’s this morning in the #gloom, as both Orville and G-Lo had nightmares that they’d oversleep. We had 18 faithful with bright eyes for #45MOM #smokefest, another great outing on a cold RVA morning. Oh – and tomatoes popped out of the ground again… maybe they are of the cold weather resistant kind. On to the thang… G-Lo on Q Mosey the PAX on over to opposite side of school. COP with SSH X 15, Imperial Walkers X 15, LBC X15, Windmills X 15 Mosey over to tennis courts for 4 corners of pain #4COP Split…

Near-record setting numbers (maybe record setting?) of the faithful and FNGs descended on RVA’s favorite elementary school in the #gloom this morning for #45MOM. After a bit of confusion for who was supposed to Q (a tardy G-Lo and Orville), the PAX fearlessly ventured forth! Without further ado, THE THANG: TYA on Q: (I technically wasn’t there yet, but here’s my best guess) Disclaimer COP: SSH x20 Merkin x17 Imperial Walker x20 LBC x18 Mosey to back of school for #TripleCheck. Split up, groups of 3 Trade off holding #peopleschair, plank, and sprinting to Wimbledon fence Everyone goes x3 Mosey to (surprisingly dusty)…

The PAX was twelve strong on a starry morning in RVA. Highlight of the morning came early as G-Lo descended on the AO. As he was parking, he nailed the curb and screeched the brakes ala Jim Carey, in Ace Ventura — “Got a package people, coming through”! The Thang Bleeder at Q Mosey to field. Bleeder smoked himself on the 100+ yard mosey and could hardly recite the disclaimer. Bleeder claims it was the cold, YHC thinks it had more to do with conditioning (you be the judge). 20x SSH 15x Merkins 15x Low squats…

20 (new record for the 45MoM workout) posted for what was almost a cold wet mess but ended up being a great morning for getting after it. We learned that 45 degree weather is still very comfortable weather. Several tomatoes working out on the basketball courts were in tank tops!

Today’s PAX consisted of thirteen early risers who got out of the fart sack to head to the Near West End for this morning’s workout at Mary Munford Elementary (NOT “Mumford” like the band Mumford and Sons as I recently realized). Doner Kebab and Loose Goose led the festivities, and this group came to work!
