  • 3/2 DaPile

    Three brothers showed up for a workout / run this morning and here is what went down:

    Run

    So we mosey to the Giles community and run down a new paved trail just completed and this is an awesome 1 mile section for a run…(will see this again for sure big trees, birds, sunshine feels like you are hiking). We continue through a newer section and Mr Holland started to feel a sharp pain in his hip so we slowed down to a walk for about 1/2 a mile of the 3 mile warm up run. Mr. Holland peels off and Bulkhead and YHC continue with the bootcamp part of this morning’s workout.

    THANG

    We mosey to the chin up bars for a dora of 25 pull ups, 50 dips and 100 leg lifts. We alternate while the other partner runs one wind sprint across the court.

    We then mosey to the football practice field where we flip a tractor tire 5xs while the partner Al Gores for his turn. We do this 5 times. We then face each other with the tire, Partner 1 flips the tire to Partner 2 that catches is and performs a squat. P1 performs a burpeee and P2 flips tire to P1 coming out of his squat. We do this for 10 reps…the last 2 were tough.

    Mosey to back parking lot for touch a tree. P1 touches 4 trees While P2 does pole smokers alternate. Then for the next set P1 performs LBC’s while P2 touches 4 trees, alternate. Finally for the 3rd set P1 performs windshield washers while P2 touches 4 trees and we alternate.

    Mosey back to flag and Stretch for 1 minute. Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

    Moleskin

    So we wrap up and go to coffeeteria at Local Cup and nice morning to be outside to catch up.

    Have a great weekend Gents and Mr. Holland, we hope you recover over the weekend. Cheers…CB!

    3rd effort – Side lunge(step squat) to midcourt and side lunge back (staying facing the same direction to work out both sides). Side lunge to far court side lunge back.

    Mosey back to flag for some stretching and to meet up with the runners.

    Numberama, Namerama and Mr. Holland took us out in prayer.

    Moleskin

    Great workout for everyone and we are beginning the dual workout options at our AO’s so come check it out as there is no excuse for running or bootcamp as we have you covered. This is also the plan for the Tuesday ANVIL workout that it will be both the run and boot camp options; however, with Gomer posting as Q at Daville on Monday, I expect that there will be mostly running at Anvil on Tuesday….we will see!

    Have a great weekend gents and we will see you in the gloom! Cheers…CB

  • 2 Groups, 1 Purpose

    5 Davillians stayed north of the wall today to keep up with their half marathon training.

    YHC started a little early then met Marco Polo at the Atlee HS stadium since he had 10k training team afterwards. We headed back to Atlee road completeing the Bojangles, Rutland, and Knollwood loops before heading back to get in 8.

    Bulkhead, Mr Holland, and Opus started at the normal parking then headed the opposite way down the school service road for a loop in Honey Meadows/Kings Charter to get in 6 to 7

    Since Local Cup was closed, Mr Holland traded us to some starbucks thanks to the generosity of middle school students (he had wrecked up some Starbucks gift cards).

    Solid run day and great 2ndF afterwards

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Went for 10

    5 Davillians logged their long run on Saturday. The loop would send us through 3 to 5 different neighborhoods with distances at 8.5 and 9 miles but if you were Mr Holland went for 10 miles

    TClaps to him for going the extra distance

    Coffee at the Local Cup afterwards where Yard Sale joins us

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • New Roads

    5 Davillians ventured out on this cold Saturday morning to get their long run in for the week.

    Route was something a little different. Got started just after 6:15 with a loop around the schools before heading to fly over. Headed down Atlee Station Rd to Craney Island for a loop in the back part of the neighborhood. Cross over 301 (something new) and cut across Studley then turn onto Times Dispatch rd.

    Run to the end of the road then turn back and head across 301 again. Loop behind Wawa before turn back onto Atlee Station.

    Headed down Atlee Station then turned onto Giles Farm Rd and take the short trail to Giles. Head up Giles Hill to the roundabout.

    6.5 to 7 miles – stayed straight on Giles back to the parking lot

    8+ miles – Ran down some of the new Giles roads before finishing with a loop round the MS

    TClaps to Mr Holland who finished with an extra loop around the schools to get in around 8.25 miles

    It was fun trying out some new roads today. Time to get creative with routes without repeating since it will be 9 or more miles moving forward

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • DaPile 8 ball

    Eight brothers showed up this morning for a 6 mile run and here is what went down.

    YHC chose a mostly flat route to run this morning as we had 6 and 7 mile runs this morning. The route started behind Atlee High School and ran to honey Meadows and we took the access road to Kings Charter and ran towards the club house on Kings Charter Drive. We took a right on Wynchase Way to Topotottomy Drive run to Patuxent Drive and that was 3 miles, we turned back to run the same route back at a slightly faster pace.

    Spit had started running earlier this morning so he was able to log in 8 miles. All other runners ran 6 miles with Hash and Marco Polo arriving first.

    Numberama and Namerama, YHC took us out.

    Moleskin

    We had a great cool morning for a run, we circled up after the run and said a prayer for Mudface who lost his Father earlier this week. We also gathered at local cup for some great convo and coffee. We are planning our monthly 2nd F and an activity that came up was Curling. So we will be looking into the details and will take on the other AO’s in a curling competition soon, stay tuned for a preblast.

    I look forward to seeing you in the gloom soon, until then, Go Bengals, Have a great weekend….Cheers…CB!
