A PAX of two posted for the last Punisher scheduled during the RVA school year.  Sonny and YHC arrived separately at the AO.  After a warmup with the usual in the southeast corner of the school grounds, we completed a Beast with Carolina Dry Docks, Squats, Freddy Mercuries, Shoulder Taps, Forward Lunges, and Mountain Climbers.  We relocated to the Bus Loop for 13 reps for 13 exercises with Merkins, Side Lunges, Hello Dollys, Wide Grip Merkins, Back Lunges, Rosalitas, Decline Merkins, Step Behind Lunges, Flutter Kicks, Close Grip Merkins, 13 count Squat, Box Cutters, and LBCs.  We finished with some…

We’re flipping over the mattresses and wiping down the pool chairs at The Punisher in anticipation of F3 RVA staycation visitors.  6:30 PM.  No plans to change back to AM. We are sorry for the backblast silence but we have been gathering, albeit in small groups, to keep the AO going. For the past two Mondays (5/28 and 6/4), YHC and Sonny have posted.  We stayed on the school grounds for a dose of the usual on 5/28 (11s, Double Checks, etc) and ran off campus to the Acca Temple for a parking lot workout on 6/4 (Merkins, Squats, Crawls,…

YHC left the Linwood Holton Elementary School parking lot thinking this Punisher episode would be solo. Jogged through Laburnum Park to the Veritas parking lot for a little Merkin / Squat sequence before resuming the mosey.  Spotted Change Order moseying up Westwood Avenue in YHC’s direction.  We paired up and hit the Seminary’s vita course, mixing in more mosey and some Merkins, Mary, and Pull Ups in one loop around the track.  We returned to Holton via Gloucester Road and Wilmington Avenue, completing Merkins and Squats at the end of each median strip. Pleasantries were exchanged, then our paths diverged.

All apologies to my F3 brothers and for any disruptions to our quantitative models.  Don’t let the backblast silence fool you – we’ve continued the evening Punisher during April 2018.  Among our group, we’ve discussed having a bit more of a run orientation during the warmer months because the weather is nicer (and because the school playground is full of kids during warm afternoons).  We’re still mixing in some bootcamp time. Monday, April 2nd – Tricycle makes an appearance along with YHC, Change Order, and Sonny.  As a group, we run west on Laburnum Avenue, south on Westwood, west/southwest on…

Following informal polling of Punisher regulars and candidates, we will pilot a shift to an increased run orientation during the warmer months – making loops in the Northside around Linwood Holton Elementary School.  YHC completed a solo loop through the Laburnum and Sherwood Park neighborhoods for the last Punisher in March.  Will rotate through different routes during the warmer months.

Four posted for the March 19th Punisher.  The warmup period was extended a bit as we rolled through some LIFOs.  Completed some of the usual startup exercises along with sets of LBCs in between. Moved to the front parking lot, picked a starting parking space and completed 30 LBCs followed by 5 Merkins and 5 Squats in each parking space heading in the direction of the main lot entrance.  Near the western edge of the lot, stopped and completed another LBC round, then worked back completing the same. Moseyed to the school gym wall for Quadruple Check with People’s Chair,…

Amid winter’s last snowfall, Sonny and YHC left our houses and moseyed to the LHES parking lot.  A couple of the evening Punisher regulars indicated prior conflicts, but we waited until just after the post time (in the event an F3 brother undone b before continuing our jog off campus and into Bryan Park. We mostly stuck to our mosey, stopping briefly for a little Don Quixote and Imperial Walker break at the southwest end of the azalea gardens, Incline Merkins at the posts outlining the triangle at the northwest edge of the azalea gardens, squats at trash cans along…

Three posted for the last Punisher before the start of Daylight Saving Time next week.  Moseyed to the grass and started with Invisible Jump Ropes x 15, Imperial Walkers x 15, Russian Soldiers x 15, Don Quixotes x 15, and Arm Circles x 10 (big only and both ways) – with LBCs x 25 after each of the others. Jogged around the back of LHES for some running warmups on the blacktop.  Running from the south end of the black top to the approximate location of Canada on the U.S. Map, completed High Knees, Butt Kickers, Side Hops, and Back…
