  • Proper Dora visits NoToll

    16 strong Pax emerged from the fart sack for a mild Decemeber morning beatdown that went something like this:

    THANG

    Slaughter Start – 10 burpees OYO

    COP – SSH, DQs, Arm Circles (Flashdance on Q), Merkins, Bob & Weave

    Mosey to Soccer fields

    Roxanne (run in place, burpee @ Roxanne)

    Run a lap as a group

    Find a partner for Proper Dora – 100 x 1 merkin, 2 WWII, 3 Squats

    Circle up for Taking & Thinking – Ride by twentyonepilots (lunge in place, squat jump @ Taking or Thinking)

    Mosey to Basketball courts

    Line up on baseline for Bearimeter – Bear crawl entire perimeter, halt halfway for 20 SSH OYO + 20 LBCs IC

    Circle up for Mary: Hello Dollies, Capital Letters, Freddy Mercuries

    10 Burpees OYO

    COT – Wilson took us out

    Naked Moleskin:

    So much mumblechatter today…but YHC wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Good to see Honeymoon make room for F3 in his busy BrokeBack schedule of weight lifting at the gym with Sparky. Why don’t you two go to the gym and pump each other?

    Sorry for leaving Marmaduke still doing the Proper Dora while YHC organized the next exercise.

    Jenny Craig is a bear crawl machine and passed the majority of the Pax during the Bearimeter.

    Announcements:

    Qs needed on the Q sheet. Might be time for another VQ week!

  • SOP vs non-SOP

    17 grizzled vets (some more manly (or insane) than others) posted at NoToll for a mostly you vs you workout with a little us vs them thrown in also.  It went like this:

    VERY short mosey to the first light pole for COP, all IC, including:

    • SSHs x20 (during which YHC noticed the nearly even split between Shorts Only Posters and those in tights or other varieties of unnecessary clothing covering their legs – and an audible was called silently in YHC’s mind)
    • DQs x10
    • Helicopters x15
    • Imperial Walkers x15
    • Merkins x10
    • LBCs x25 (missed my exit ramp and had to go around the block)

    Manly Men vs. Others Team Relays — Another short Mosey to the basketball courts and break into two teams – SOPers and Others and form up on the end line for team relays:

    • Round 1 – Suicide relay; rest of team perform 4x4s (look ’em up and add them to your repertoire – they kind of suck especially in long durations).  Team plank when all members have completed a suicide.
    • Round 2 – Suicide relay; rest of team Hello Dolly (audible half-way through to LBCs) – Al Gore as a team when finished.
    • Close races but I think the SOPers went 2-0 — the “Others” can correct me in comments if necessary.

    Teams were actually even number of runners, since Swiper is still recovering (great to have him out today to partake in the ground and pound sections that he could!)

    Chicken Peckers Round 1 – Line up along the fence line for Chicken Peckers (a new RVA favorite) x15 IC

    Large ROF Rosie Style – Circle-up on the court for a large mid-beatdown ROF — staring in Al Gore go around the circle dropping for 10 merkins and holding plank, then when it comes back around do 10 more merkins and Al Gore for the rest of the PAX.

    Lazy Triple Check – short mosey to the bathroom area for a triple-check including People’s Chair on the wall, dips on the bench (or squats if you lost out on musical chairs) and the timer was doing 25 Werkins.  3 rounds…of course.

    Chicken Peckers Round 2 – 10 IC this time

    PLTs – partner up and perform 3 rounds of 20 PLTs each

    ROF – SOPers vs. Others – form two smaller circles and perform the traditional ROF – starting in plank and performing 10 merkins when it comes to your turn (YHC did 20 to account for the SOPers having 1 less member).  Team Al Gore when finished.  I am pretty sure this was a dead heat.

    5 MOM, including:

    • APDs x20
    • Freddie Mercuries x20
    • Flutter Kicks x20
    • Hello Dolly x20
    • American Hammers x10

    Stumble back to the flag for COT, Number-rama, Name-a-rama and YHC took us out, including two prayer requests:

    • For a St. Michael’s family whose 3rd grade son lost his battle with leukemia just the other day.  Heartbreaking – another reason to get home, hug your wife and kids and be thankful for every day and every blessing we have.
    • For my friend’s family – his father (88) is having emergency open heart surgery today as a last resort.
    • Send them all up to the SKY Q men – they all help…

    Announcements:

    NMS –

    YHC had a different plan for today, including more running and rounds of 4-corners, but seeing Swiper and noticing the near-even split is SOPers vs. Others – a necessary audible was called and YHC flew a little by the seat of pants…err shorts after that.  Nonetheless, I hope the PAX got their money’s worth out of the semi-ground & pound.  You should have gotten around 200 merkins depending on how many 4x4s you did during the first suicide relay — individual counts will vary!  Finish the challenge strong – 2 days left.

    Lots of good mumblechatter today and some especially terrible counting by the PAX…I won’t name any names…Mr. Red Shorts!  All good though and a pleasure to lead, as always.

    NoToll is officially relinquished from YHC’s control – something other than Gumbo will be on the menu next week.  You’re welcome!

    No more Gumbo for you…until tomorrow!

  • Leftover Gumbo Served at NoToll Again…

    And this stuff was ripe.  Or was that Wilson? In any event, 11 SOJers were subjected to another serving of Gumbo at NoToll for the 3rd straight week (one more to go next week – with turkey leftovers…) and this is how it went (after Rosie awoke Gumbo from his pre-mosey stupor and last few minutes of warmth in the vehicle):

    Mosey to the back parking lot, leaving Mr. Roper to lace up the kicks and catch up, for COP, all IC including:

    • SSHs x20
    • Merkins x10
    • DQs x10
    • Imperial Walkers x15
    • Copperhead Squats x10
    • LBCs x20
    • Flutter Kicks x20

    THE THANG:

    Four Corners – Australian Style for Malcolm Young…Backwards and with repeats:

    Round 1 –

    • Corner 4 – 40 SSHs, run to Corner 3
    • Corner 3 – 40 SSHs and 30 merkins, run to Corner 2
    • Corner 2 – 40 SSHs, 30 merkins and 20 jump squats, run to corner 1
    • Corner 1 – 40 SSHs, 30 merkins, 20 jump squats and 10 two-count mountain climbers, run to corner 4 and plank for the six

    Round 2 – same as Round 1, except exercises were 40 LBCs, 30 jump squats, 20 merkins and 10 two-count crab cakes

    The Beast – mosey over to field 1 and line up for the Beast, including:

    • Merkins
    • WWII
    • Jump Squats
    • Werkins
    • 2-count American Hammers
    • Burpees

    Sprint Back to the Flag for COT, Number-rama, Name-a-rama and YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    • 60 MOM for Thanksgiving at Mary Munford – starts at 0600 and coffeeteria in the parking lot at 0700.  Come start your turkey day correctly.  TYA promises all historical references will be substantiated and accurate.
    • For those late risers on Turkey Day (or those double-dippers who aren’t heading from 60MOM to a waddle or trot of some sort) – Circus Maximus will start at 0700.
    • Breaking Bread is this Sunday, 11/26.  Hardywood has the Q and I believe Fudd has signed on as well.  If anyone else can help out, contact Hardywood.

    NMS:

    The month of Gumbo taking over NoToll and SOT is rolling into its fourth week and I think the Natives may be restless.  Nonetheless, they followed Gumbo’s aimless lead this morning and for that YHC is grateful.  As YHC confessed to Rosie, Gumbo had no real plan for this morning – other than the reverse 4 Corners for AC/DC tribute, but when is the Beast not a great idea to close the last 18 minutes of the beatdown?  Also, we managed to disguise 222 merkins in our workout today for those of you keeping count at home for the monthly challenge.  Stick with it – 9 days to go.

    YHC thanks Malcolm Young and the rest of AC/DC for The Razor’s Edge album.  A CLASSIC! and especially for Thunderstruck and Back in Black – that were on YHC’s football and baseball pre-game playlists all through high school and VMI.  Never failed to raise the hairs on my neck and get the juices flowing.

    Mublechatter was strong today and the PAX almost hid from Flashdance’s LIFO appearance successfully in the darkest corner of the field, but some grunting and heavy breathing clued him in to our location.  Better late than never, brother – way to jump in and get right to work.

    Rosie and Hardywood lead the way as usual today, but I saw some strong efforts out there by all – especially Ollivander kicking into high gear on the Burpee leg of the Beast.  Great also to have Posh back out.

    Hope to see many of you at SOT tomorrow or 60MOM on Thursday, but for those I don’t see – have a Happy Thanksgiving.  Lots to be thankful for in this group!

    No more Gumbo for you…until tomorrow!

  • STACHE – Week 3

    9 brave souls broke the hold and posted at NoToll for another Gumbo Q – 2 more then another can reign over NoToll…this morning YHC wanted to check in on the STACHE – week 3 and make headway on the merkin challenge.  It went like this:

    Mosey toward the entrance to the park and Robious Road (almost thought the PAX wasn’t going to follow the different direction) – pick-up and escort McRib into the parking lot and circle up for COP, including the following all IC:

    • Merkins x10
    • SSHs x25
    • Merkins x9 (Mr. Roper caught on to the idea quickly)
    • Imperial Walkers x15
    • Merkins x8 (others caught on)
    • Arm Circles X10 forward and backward
    • Merkins x7 (Hardywood joined the knowledge party on the pattern)
    • DQs x10
    • Merkins x6
    • Helicopters x10
    • Merkins x5
    • LBCx x24 (YHC has a counting snafu — otherwise known as a shout out to Flatline)
    • Merkins x 4
    • Flutter kicks x15
    • Merkins x 3
    • Freddy Mercuries x15
    • Merkins x2
    • SOMETHING??
    • Merkins x1

    Short mosey to the basketball court for the STACHE:

    Suicides

    • Regular
    • Backward
    • Side Shuffle

    Tammy Wynette (Half Now; Half Later)

    Partner up and complete 5 rounds of 10 Merkins and 10 squats each

    APDs x 25 IC

    Captain Therkins

    Basically Captain Thors — combinations of WWIIs and American Hammers keeping a 1:4 ratio but with a set of 5 merkins in between each set, as follows:

    • 1 WWII, 4 American Hammers
    • 5 Merkins
    • 2 WWII, 8 AHs
    • 5 Merkins
    • 3 WWII, 12 AHs
    • 5 Merkins
    • AND SO ON…. Minds were blown on the math here – Shocker!

    PAX completed as many rounds as they could in 5 minutes.  I got to 7:28 and it hurt, I imagine 10:40 really really sucks…might have to test that theory soon?

    Howling Monkeys – 2 rounds of ring of fire style passing around 10 monkey humpers and holding the position while the other PAX members do it.

    Elevens – Merkins and Boxcutters 1 and 10 then run the length of the court and do 2 and 9…you know the rest

    2nd half of the Tammy Wynettes

    Mary – Hello Dollies, Rosalitas and Superman

    Back to the flag for COT, number-rama, name-a-rama and McRib took us out!

    NMS:

    The mumblechatter was wild this morning.  Hardywood was in short sleeves and shorts and Tobit was in short sleeves and long pants — a different take on SOP but we will see if HoneyDo approves if the elbows are showing but not the knees…

    A rowdy bunch and the howling got out of control, but work was put in for sure.  Good job this morning fellas.  I put the merkins somewhere between 280 and 310 depending on how many rounds of Captain Therkins you did.

    See you at SOT!

    No more Gumbo for you!

  • Write-in Candidate at NoToll — Nicole

    15 strong posted in the refreshingly brisk morning at NoToll only to find out that Gumbo had a last-minute write-in candidate to add to the ballot and her name is Nicole, and this Nicole was all about some Merkins, so let’s get down to business… Mosey to the back lot for COP, including:

    • SSHs x20 IC
    • Merkins x10 IC
    • Helicopters x15 IC
    • Hand-release Merkins x10 OYO
    • Arm Circles 15 forward (10 small, 5 big) and 15 backward (10 small, 5 big)
    • Werkins x10 IC
    • LBCx x25

    Mosey to the pavilion and upon cries for no box-jumps YHC called out a modified, ALL-MERKIN Nicole.  The timer was set for 20 minutes and it went like this.  Begin at pavilion with 25 regular merkins, run a lap around the field, then perform 25 Derkins on the benches, run a lap, then 25 incline merkins, run a lap.  Continue in that sequence for 20 minutes and complete as many laps as possible.

    Plank-o-rama for the six and to catch a breather

    Mosey back past the flag to the bathrooms for a classic triple check, including BTTW (Goodbye Dollies optional), Squats and a sprint to touch the entrance of the park and back — and sprint Oyster did…

    Mosey to the basketball courts for a Merkin ROF and 10 Merkins IC all together to top it off.

    COT, number-rama and name-a-rama, then YHC took us out with a quick prayer and off many of us went to stink up your local polling station.

    Same announcements – HR 1-year convergence on Saturday – is anyone going to get the Ghost Flag?  C-ville 4-miler on Sunday.  Good luck to all F3RVAers who are running the Richmond Marathon or Half-Marathon this weekend.  Crush it men!

    NMS:

    YHC has been wanting to bring Nicole back into the fold for a while and an ALL MERKIN Nicole seemed like a great way to make some headway on the monthly challenge.  It was.  YHC completed 9 laps and 10 rounds of merkins for 330 total on the day. I believe Rosie, Hardywood and Honeymoon completed 10 and 11, respectively for 355 on the day.  Way to push the lead men!  Everyone I think completed at least 8 rounds of merkins, which would have been 200 merkins during Nicole + 50 in COP + 30 in ROF for a total of 280 for the day.  Not too shabby.  Regardless, good progress was made and we covered nearly 3 miles running in total today.  Strong work men!

    More Gumbo is on the menu at SOT tomorrow, but until then, No More Gumbo For YOU!

  • Fall Classic Tribute – 2017 Style

    A hearty 17 posted to NoToll for what will be a familiar sight at NoToll and SOT for the month of November…a Gumbo Q,  YHC planted the flag and off we went moseying to the back parking lot for COP, including:

    • 5 Burpees OYO for each of Alex Bregman’s (LSU product!) 5 World Series RBI, including the epic game-winning RBI with 2-outs in the 10th inning off arguably the best closer in baseball…BOO-YAH!
    • SSHs x25 for the number of runs scored in the aforementioned epic Game 5 that spanned Sunday into Monday and is YHC’s excuse for not posting at River Run – I should have just stayed up.
    • DQs x 10 S-L-O-W
    • Helicopters x15
    • Imperial Walkers x15
    • Tempo Merkins x10
    • LBCs x20

    Pre-Game Warmups

    Mosey to edge of the parking lot and form up in 4 lines for some customary baseball warm-ups:

    • Sprints the length of the parking lot – starting of course like you are leading off first-base and stealing second (or so I’m told). Wait for six and then head back.
    • High Knees down and then back
    • Karaoke down and then back

    Game 6 Relay

    Break into two teams – Astros (8 men) and Dodgers (9 men – a handicap since they are down 3-2 in the series).  Each team form a plank line in the corner of the parking lot.  First man in line sprints the perimeter of the parking lot back to the back of the plank line and next man takes off when first returns…so on through the line.  The Dodgers damn near won the relay despite the extra man as POSH was breathing down YHC’s neck the whole way around the parking lot.  Good thing YHC held off or else a decisive Game 7 Relay would have been needed to award the World Series (of F3 NoToll Relays) Trophy.

    HR Box Jumps

    Mosey over to the Pavilion for YHC’s favorite box jumps.  In honor of the record-setting 22 home runs that the Astros and Dodgers have already hit in this years Fall Classic, each PAX member found some bench and performed 4 rounds (one for each base) of 22 box jumps.  A 10-count plank breather between sets was offered up for those that wanted it.

    Epic Game of Box Cutters

    Pair off and together as a team perform 315 box cutters Dora Style – equal to the total number of minutes it took to play Game 5.  One PAX member runs the width of the field and back while the other performs box cutters – flapjack and repeato until you reach 315.

    Cooldown Mary

    Mosey back to the basketball court for 5 MOM, including Freddie Mercuries, APDs, Flutter Kicks and 5 more Burpees OYO.

    COT, number-rama, name-a-rama and YHC took us out

    Announcements:

    • November is breathing month and Merkin month – sign up and participate in the monthly challenges.
    • November 11 is the Hampton Roads 1-year Convergence.  Some guys are talking about heading down to reclaim the Ghost Flag….coordinate.
    • November 12 – Men’s 4-miler in C-ville.

    NMS:

    A great group out at NoToll this morning.  A lively bunch with lots of encouragement during the Relay, though it quieted down a bit when the box jumps and box cutters came to town.  Kudos to the Dodgers team for smoking the relay and nearly overcoming the extra-man deficit.  I for one have NEVER seen Flashdance move that fast – way to push it brother.  Thankfully, YHC didn’t blow the save like the actual closers for the Astros seem to like to do, but I tell you I felt condensation on my neck from POSH’s breathe.  Good times!

    I hope everyone has a safe, fun and happy Halloween!

    Until next time…No More Gumbo for You!

  • Push yourself because NO ONE else is going to!

    On a balmy Tuesday morning 10 men decided to enter the Gloom of No Toll for a session of pain.

    Here is how it went down:

    COP exercises all x 25 – SSH Merkin, Ticep Push ups, LBC’s, Squats, Don Quiote, Imperial Walker

    Mosey to main field for a session of Field Hockey Ladder Runs

    Each PAX hits the ball Pax sprints to the ball, mosey back then sprint 1/2 the distance, mosey back. If Pax did not increase distance each hit, 5 Burpees. Jville & mr. Roper got longest hits – However it must be noted Mr. Roper did “whiff” the first round!

    X Runs – sprint from corner to corner mosey on short side of the field, then sprint to the next corner.

    Mary – Cross Leg Lifts, Pickle Pounders, Homer to Marge, Superman, Alabama Prom Dates

    Mosey to the flag.

    Recently my oldest 2.0 (F3 Name Styx) was sidelined from her Varsity Field hockey team with a knee injury. Not a Bleeder or Saab style that takes you completely out, but one that just lingered until finally a doctor pulled her and said rest. I think it was 5 or 6 weeks where she did not practice or run. After a few weeks back she turned in a 7 minute 9 sec mile. She inspires me with her tenacity to improve and take a challenging situation and turn it into a positive.

    I say all this because as she was not on the field, she kept saying, Dad you could never do one of our workouts. So as you might know, I like to be challenged. Today’s workout was inspired by her. If I did exactly what she said, we would still be out there!

    Tobit took us out.

  • Magic Number

    15 willing and able men answered the bell this morning and posted for a cool fall morning workout.  The air was crisp and cool as fall weather should be much better than hot and muggy like last week.  YHC rolled in with a minute to spare and no worries about being late.

    THANG:

    Mosey to the soccer field for a warmup of SSH, cotton pickers, Moroccan night clubs, alternating shoulder taps, LBC, and Peter Parkers.  1 minute of AMRAP Burpees – Keep count, it will be your Magic Number for the morning

    Mosey to the corner of the field to start 4 corners using you magic number – Corner 1 – merkins magic number x1, Corner 2 – Jump Squats magic number x2, Corner 3 – Flutter Kicks magic number x 3, Corner 4 – mountain climbers magic number x4.  Plankarama  Reverso also reversing the counts (Heavy on the merkins in corner 4)

    Mosey to the other soccer field and partner up – P1 Magic Number of Donkey kicks on the fence then plank, P2 – backward run to midfield and forward run back.  Repeat x3

    Modified Beast – Use half of your magic number for each stop – WWII, Monkey Humpers, Carolina Dry Docks

    Mosey back to the VSF for Mary – Freddie Mercury, Crunchy Frogs, APD (nice and slow for Aisle 5)

    NMM

    Again, great to see Aisle 5 out for a second day in a row.  Love the commitment to getting back into the groove!  Also Kotters to Sin Bin, hopefully he’ll become another NoToll regular like Shooter has been recently.  The New Market mumblechatter was strong today with Wilson, Honeymoon and Marmaduke all feeling chatty.  Mr. Roper may have been feeling more than alive talking about a morning wake and bake session.  I thought that was normally for dudes that woke up after 10am but to each his own.

    The Magic Number theme of the day was an attempt to keep the PAX together a little better while adding some reps for the guys that are normally leading the group.  Flashdance was crushing it out in front of the PAX on the 4 corners, as he said, “Every dog has it’s day”.  YHC had the exercises planned but did not think about the number of merkins that would be prescribed on the Reverso 4 corners, the over-achievers got crushed.  Jenny Craig busted out a ton of burpees hoping for some relief on the back end but the Q did not accommodate.  Maybe that’ll teach him to keep his shirt on.

    Way to get out and get some tough work done this morning men.  It doesn’t get easier, you get stronger.

    Everything is coming up Rosie.

  • Bad decisions were made this morning…

    YHC rolled up to No Toll this am to see Gumbo finishing his mile-great commitment Gumbo! And the cars kept rolling in…19 men showed up this am to see if Flatline could count correctly! Ever since YHC first Q, all exercises have been found at the Exicon on F3 homepage or modified slightly.

    Mosey to the parking lot for COP-X15 arm circle (10 small, 5 big),  X15 Imperial Walker Squats, X20 Don Quixote, X15 Merkins, X15 LBC. And mosey to the soccer field…

    Exercise 1-WMD Crawl (Werkin, Merkin, Diamond Merkin) Bear Crawl……starting, x10 Bear Crawl/X5 Werkins, X10 Bear Crawl/X5 Merkins, X10 Bear Crawl/X5 Diamond Merkin and repeat previous 3 exercises in exact order to the end of soccer field back. Now, before PAX started there was plenty of mumble chatter…”the entire field”, “that’s a lot of merkins..” YHC knew the exercise was perfect when Rosie chimmed in, “..how far.”, or something to that extent. And, if Honeymoon ever needs another F3 name, “Bleeding Gash” would be perfect….I mean full of verbage this am. But the mumble chatter added to the experience…TOTALLY! YHC could not hear anymore complaining so an audible was called after finishing one length of the field. I mean BITCHING galore…so YHC switched all merkins to lunges-X10 Bear Crawls/X5 lunges for length of soccer field. Planks, waiting for PAX to finish. Mosey to parking lot, specifically, plenty of curb space….

    Exercise 2- The Butkis, in honor of Rocky’s dog! One minute toe touches to the curb, as fast as possible. One minute Al Gore with a few touchdown poses than one minute of toe touches, as fast as possible. We performed two cycles of this exercise. Rosie did point out to YHC that we may need to move to a point in the parking lot with light since YCH could not see his stopwatch. Others suggested just buying a new watch!! But YHC’s worked fine….just fat fingers from my gloves trying to his light button. Small ass buttons…………and mosey back to soccer field.

    Exercise 3-Super 21. Again, all exercises are listed in exicon or modified, including Super 21. You vs You. 1 merkin, 1 burpee, 2 merkins, 2 burpees, 3 merkins, 3 burpees, 4 merkins, 4 burpees…..continued till 21 merkins and 21 burpees are finished. Again YHC heard, “you mean we are going to do both exercises…” and “…more merkins..” And yes, even Rosie was adding to the mumble chatter. Honeymoon was full of himself this morning, and yes more bitching. So after YHC performed 9 merkins and 9 burpees and my ears could not hear anymore. AUDIBLE!! To the baseball courts…oops, I meant basketball courts. At least, I got the counting right this time. Mosey to the courts…

    Exercise 3-Dora-cides. Partner up. One partner runs suicides while other partner performs stated exercises and flapjack…suicides and X100 Arm circles, Suicides and X 200 LBC’s, and last, suicides and X 300 squats. And with one minute left in YHC’s workout, all PAX members did 1 suicide, AYG(all you got). Short mosey to parking lot…

    Number-ama, name-r-ama, and announcements, of which there were none. Except, Wilson–“dogs and kids.” Marmaduke took us out!

    Great showing this morning. Thank you for following and YHC knows he did something super when Rosie is involved with mumble chatter about YHC’s exercises!! Great to see newer F3 brothers continue to post-POSH, Ram Man, Ollivander as well as some old faces, Flashdance-good to see you brother!

    I am blessed to be able to get out of the fartsack and lead the PAX this morning!! I will always be thankful for this group and the men I have come to know and call my friends!!!

    Loud and Proud,

    Flatline

  • Not Charles Bronson, but Close

    Thirteen of the faithful gathered on a fairly “slow-day” (at least in terms of numbers) at NoToll. The weather was crisp — so much so that there were groans upon first reclining in the plush grass. Johnsonville (YHC) took the Q, and this is what went down, more or less:

    Warmup with 25x ssh, 25x scorpians, 10x merkins, 25x IWs, and 25x DonQuiotes.

    Mosey to back parking lot. 10 burpees, then run the Four Square in the parking lot (run four laps around the perimeter of designated area sprinting side 1, then next time around sprinting sides 1-2, then next time around sprinting sides 1-3, and then next time around sprinting sides 1-4). Plank

    Mosey to back right field. COP arm circles. 10 burpees, then run the Four Square in the back right field. Plank

    Mosey to the back left field. COP under the light near the shelter — flutter kicks. 15 burpees, then run the Four Square in the back left field. Plank

    Mosey to the front left field. COP under the light near the shelter — Boats/Canoes (WHITE DEER!). [FAKE NEWS ALERT ~ THIS ONE WAS PLANNED BUT DID NOT HAPPEN –> 15 burpees, then run the Four Square in the front left field. Plank]

    Mosey back to SF. American Hammers.

    COT with Viral taking us out

    MOLESKIN:

    We had some fast runners out at GridIron this morning (or else I was extra slow). Rosie gets special mention for having run there and back home. This was a workout of fairly constant cardio pressure, and several commented on how similar it felt to Saturday’s Charles Bronson.

    There were comments about how much the Boat/Canoes and wheelbarrows Saturday hurt. (Mouth of) Wilson was particularly mumble-chattery this morning, even going so far as to attempt to shorten the duration of planks. I did not hear RammMan say a word this morning, but I have a feeling that he was quietly/silently criticising YHC with extreme prejudice.

    Thanks for posting this morning! Jville
