    NMS:

    It was great having The Carpenter back as the Q today. There was some definite concern over the return of the 4X4, but it was never called.

    We concluded that Abe Vigotas are just slow Don Quixotes. There is a question about this in New Jersey.

  • Quad Work

    4 men posted at Dapile to get their weekend started right. The PAX decided to hot potato the Q.

    Opus Q – COP, Dora

    Phonics Q – 5 corners

    Bulkhead – Mosey back to the flag with some some exercises, MoM, stretching

  • The Saturday Slow Mosey

    Two teachers posted at Atlee High School on this last day of February after five straight days of teaching bell to bell. With days off, snow, and delays, both may not have been in shape for that difficult feat at this time of year. Because fatigue and soreness were going to be issues, YHC took the Q and this is what they did.

    COP: SSH, Helicopters, Arm Circles, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, Running Man, Merkins, American Hammers, Heels to Heaven, One legged APDs, other leg, both legs, Bulgarian Split Squats, Raised dips

    Slow Mosey to pullup bars

    For 20 minutes, we did the following five exercises with 4 of them in the corner of the blacktop: 5 Pullups, 10 Merkins, 15 Squats, 20 Flutterkicks, 25 Mountain Climbers.

    Slow Mosey back to VSF

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Opus took us out.

    NMS:

    YHC showed up into the parking lot this morning a few minutes late and saw many frosted over cars but no F3 PAX members. He guesses there was an overnight school trip which could explain the cars. A few minutes later, Opus showed up in the parking lot. With a late start, both slowly moseyed throughout the AO which turned out to be perfect on this Saturday. Corned Beef joined us for coffee at Local Cup following the bootcamp. Great way to start off a weekend.

    Gotta Run!

  • Around the campus COP

    3 men posted at Dapile. The PAX decided to do a running COP style workout. The PAX ran around the campus, alternating the Q and doing several exercises along the way.

    Some GRAMS to close out. Numbers, names, Opus took us out.

  • Thankful for the workout

    Three dudes who apparently do not look at weather forecast or wind advisories stepped onto the grounds at Atlee High School the morning after a light snow. An icy parking lot and gale force winds were ready to great them. YHC, being slightly tardy for the start today, grove into the parking lot and it appeared that the two other PAX members were off to the distance doing SSHs. YHC then attempted to run over to there location but multiple PSAs by Bulkhead to not run due to the icy ground. Once YHC joined them, a hot potato Q was determined and Bulkhead took the lead.

    Very slow mosey to the Atlee High School commons entrance. Per exercise, we found ourselves getting closer and closer to the Atlee doors where there was less snow and wind.

    Bulkhead’s Q

    COP all IC: SSH, Invisible Jump Ropes, Imperial Walkers, Helicopters, shoulder rotations, Don Quixotes, Copper Head Squats, raise arms up and lower to ground, Tempo Merkins, Freddie Mercuries.

    It was great again being able to do a bootcamp at Atlee High School since this location had only been slighly used in the past 2 weeks do the the ice and snow. The location we selected for today worked great because it limited the wind. It was shocking as we moseyed back to the VSF to feel the wind.

    I feel very fortunate to be able to exercise and have this fellowship on cold mornings like today. Many in our community have been suffering in recent weeks due to the cold and sickness. Our thoughts and prayers are with them that things to get better.

    Coffee was a good time again today. Corned Beef was able to join us.

    Announcements: Frozen Triangle postponed by 2 weeks to 2/21/26. (Not on Valentine’s Day. Good call F3RVA)

    New skill to work on from today: Can you rotate your shoulders in different directions at the same time? I’m practicing Mr. Holland. Not there yet.

    The DaPile bootcamp is always a great way to start off a Saturday. As YHC arrived once again fashionably late, the five other PAX members had not decided yet who was taking the lead. Thank you Opus for taking charge. What was discovered during the few minutes after 6:30 AM before the bootcamp started was there were veterans of 4 branches of the military at the bootcamp: Army (Corned Beef), Navy (Lab Rat), Air Force (Beat It), and Marines (Bulkhead). Hope in the future to have the Coast Guard and Space Force represented as well.

    Five of us then went to the Local Cup for some 2nd F. Great time as always.

    Announcements:

    Its not too late to join the Sugar Fast. See Opus.

    Have a great day everybody!
