Tag: Off The Books

4 kettlebell wielding studs and a couple of 2.0’s took over the WEAG complex on Sunday evening. Onlookers had to step aside as we rounded the church with manly exercises and a killer soundtrack. Here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure.

Warm up: Short mosey around the upper parking lot following by Arm Circles, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Dead Man Hang and arm stretches.

Exercise One: Circuit around the church. At various locations, stop and do 2 minutes of called exercises. The following were completed:
American Hammers, Step ups, Tricep extensions, Bench Press, Squats with lift, Flutter Kicks, Upright Row, WWII’s with lift, Lawnmower pulls, calf raises, Pass Arounds (??), Pole Smokers, Kettle Swings.

Back to the flag for a couple leg stretches.

Final Thoughts: Great job by all of the PAX this evening. OTB kettlebells is a laid back atmosphere with a lot of curious walkers, runners, and spectators around. It was great seeing Tryhard’s 2.0’s show up with their own weights and headbands. Lots of hair metal mumblechatter, amongst other topics. Come on out next week!

Runners ran ~6 miles according to second F on patio. While walkers dont worry about distance, just how long the stride is. Some great conversations today. Started and finished with the same conversation………..yup, it actually happened. Bigger question is how high can Aisle 5 take his knobby tire Subaru. In truth, doesn’t matter cause Nancy is going to get a lift for him and install a ladder for him to get in/out. If he were a Vette guy, he would be able to lower on factory bolts (saving Nancy a ton of $$). He should swing by New Market in two Saturdays as Wilson is lowering the C5. Plenty of cuss words and beer will be flowing. Gumbo is lobbying his boy to be a pro golfer based on the average height of golfers he observed at the Masters. More to come………..

Have a great Sunday fellas and it was great to see more coming out as it warms up.

7 men and a couple of pups left the fartsack to burn a few calories before sneaking in the jelly beans and Cadbury eggs. 2nd F was strong today fellas. Great to have Doublemint out with us today as well. Happy Easter.

Numbers/Names/Announcements

Final Thoughts: Strong work by all the PAX this evening. The four corners ended up being pretty brutal as evidence by YHC struggling to move my fingers and type up this backblast. It was nice having a doctor on hand in the event that some accidental skull crushing occurred during the flutter kicks. Looking forward to exploring this location over the next couple weeks. Reminder that we will not be meeting next week due to Easter.

3 men gathered for another edition of Off the Books. Aisle 5 lead the way.
We put in some extra time to finish right at 4 miles. Well done fellas!

Coffateria: Subaru makes 9 inches. 9 inches of clearance that is..

With two weeks to go until the Roanoke Half, YHC, Boberry, and Draper hit the mean streets of River Downs for some hill climbing action. Now it’s time to taper.

2 Runners with a Dog – 5 Plus miles

5 Walkers with 2 Dogs – 3 Plus Miles

11 Walkers, Runners and Ruckers jumped out of the Fartsack for another edition of Off the Books.   Props to Tobit and Draper who were going after 15 miles this morning.  Well done Fellas.

Announcements: Shiplap has the Q at Satan’s Hill tomorrow. Come get some!

Thanks to a crummy cold gifted by the M and 2.0, YHC has been out of commission for close to a week. It was great to get out this morning and get in some miles.

Flatty showed up ready to ruck, but with no other ruckers in sight, he opted to pound some pavement with YHC and Bo.

Boberry planned a 10Kish route. On the outside, Bo appears to be just an all around nice guy. You’d count yourself lucky to be his friend. But, there is a darkness lurking on the inside. YHC couldn’t help but notice that Bo’s route had us on a clear descent for over 3 miles. At the bottom of Otterdale, I swear I heard maniacal laughter as we began the three mile ascent back to the start. ….Well done Bo! The route was just what YHC needed.

Boberry had to jet for early church service. YHC enjoyed coffeeteria with Flatty.

2 walked, 2 ran

Runners got in 9+.
