Half dozen FW regulars included 1 SOJ insomniac traveler embraced the wet but cooler than expected conditions that awaited us at Westhoe. YHC is not a fan of cold rain so off we go looking to avoid the wind and minimize the dampness. Mosey to Triangle Park tip for introductions and disclaimers. Warmups included all standing exercises in conversation. Good times, good times. Mosey down Ridge to next intersection to begin a Lindsay. Stops at every intersection down to Westham Station with Carolina Dry Docks & Imperial Walkers as the selected exercises. Headlamps were indeed helpful. Complete Lindsay at the…

10 RSVP’d for Señor Frogs pre dawn birthday celebration at the First Watch. YHC pulled into the parking lot at 4:30 AM to admire the early morning efforts of the Brogi’s frolicking in the gloom. He considering joining them, then thought of the ramifications of demasculation that the Brogi’s endure and thought better of it. 5AM- Mosey to the Chancel for introductions, disclaimers and basic COP warmup. Mosey to the University of Richmond Amphitheater for some Merkins and Squats. Mosey back to the missing Flag for a basic COT. Please keep this mornings prayer requests on your minds and in…

7 early risers posted to FW for some Gumbo and it got loungey. Little counting, lot’s of mumblechatter. Topics ranged from F3 photo shoots to binge-worthy Netflix series, to political statements that may come out of the Florida truck tragedy that we all expected must be on Ronnie’s docket. We solved all the world’s problems. But today was also a celebration of heavenly birthdays for YHC’s dad and, as it turns out, Ronnie’s mom. Happy birthday to two wonderful people we wish were still with us and who, oddly, both passed away far too early in 2012. Phil Goldman would…

10 early risers emerged from the Gloom to embark on a muggy beatdown Ronnie style. COP – SSH, LBCs, Arm Circles, Helicopters, Ukrainian soldiers, dead man hang, and merkins. Then we moseyed to the neighborhood to complete some exercises based on what type of car we found. The pax was quite enthusiastic. Next, we went back to the parking lot for a Dora with merkins, LBCs, and squats. A quick cool down with wall sits and dips, and then 4 corners with burpees, merkins, LBCs, and monkey humpers. Back to the flag for a quick circle of fire. Numberama, nameorama,…

We merely sniffed the Taint today, or maybe it was a combo of 4-day old lobster tails, garbage, and raw sewage. Here’s what transpired: Traveling COP to the Devil’s Nipple?

It has been a few weeks and many excuses but YHC finally returned the friendly confines of First Watch to enjoy the comradery, humor and humidity. No Q on the sheet at 4.54 so lets make it this official. Many regulars and new faces, atleast to me, joined in for a legendary beatdown to some. Moseyed to the point of the triangle for introductions and disclaimers followed by various exercises some in cadence, others in conversation. Good times were had by most. Continue down to Country Squire to begin the Lindsay back up to River Road. Exercises included LBC’s and…
