Another great showing for our temporary Saturday morning workout. Great to see Helix and Pavarotti who don’t normally come out during the week.

The Carpenter set a record today. First time he has post twice in one week in over 6 to 9 months, haha

Its always great to make it out to “The Hill” aka Circle K’s hill. Since its back in the woods and a good mile run to get there, we typically only use it in the last Spring and Summer when its lighter out in the gloom. It never false to beat us down

Welcome to Spook! Neighbors with Pavarotti, he pushed through the workout even thou running is not his thing

No major announcements this morning other than The Carpenter M (Laurie) seem have turned the corner with this illness she has been dealing with. Prayers also for all those still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was good to back in the gloom. The Strep bug got YHC last week so this was the first time he could make it back out.

The one mile run was through Hanover’s newest neighborhood which had the PAX’s mumble chatter focusing on the the house designs and color. Also Phonics giving us a history on row homes/townhomes.

Yes there was a lot of run today. Sorry but YHC doesn’t believe it’s a Saturday morning workout without it

Well The Murph still sucks! YHC believe the PAX agrees. Option 2 may have been better. It would have been Old Glory but Burpees would still have sucked as well.

After they frisked him and handcuffed him. we began the workout. JK. All was good thankfully no one was arrested and we were able to workout in compliance with the mandate from the governor. Good to have Xabi join us today — he is a young college student who is a fan of Man U. His nickname is a player from Liverpool (rival team). Pronounce shAH-bee.

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, YHC took us out.

Announcements:

Colonial 70 in September – Spit will be sending out a spreadsheet for soft and hard commitments

Phonics is looking for guys to come share at his school about their work and careers. This is a great way to serve in his school and provide inspiration for the next generation.

NMS:

The first DaVille started (I think) on Tuesday, 3/15/16 and this was a close date for marking the four-year anniversary of DaVille. It also marks YHC’s four-year anniversary since he showed up for the first time that morning in light of an invite from the one and only Abacus.

YHC led the PAX to the first basketball court because that location has hosted the most COPs over the years of DaVille. Emoji exclaimed “YES!!!” when Don Quixotes were called out during the COP. Some things never change. DaVille counting (that started in… DaVille) was in full force with no utterances of the number “eleven” or “twelve”… That is too difficult… Return to one and two and continue…

YHC brought out the 4x4s as a way to mark the four year anniversaries. The PAX seemed to enjoy the 4×4 pain. Spit, Spike and Fannie Mae crushed them and kept the PAX sharp as we tried to catch up.

YHC then took the PAX to the bus loop because that is where YHC had his first F3 beat-down. Circle K led that workout and YHC still has memories of feeling sick (almost splash-merlot’d) that morning because he had never experienced anything like a F3 workout. The 11s provided a slight taste of that pain, especially running backwards.

Again, Phonics and Fannie Mae crushed it with Spit and Spike right behind them. The whole PAX pushed through it all and it was great to be back with everyone, both new guys and those who have been with DaVille from the very beginning up here in the far north of Mechanicsville.

It is an honor to lead. It was my first Q in 2020 and it felt like coming home! There is nothing like F3. Let’s keep it rolling!!
