Tag: Raider Run

Q showed up to an empty lot and it stayed empty..no friends came…

ran 1 mile on the track, did some pushups and situps, then ran a mile backwards with some pushups and situps.

Then some abs then left at 615.

FNG in tow, YHC arrived to a near-empty Anvil parking lot. Luckily, Scrum was there to fill the void in our lives, and a hot potato ensued. Mr. Holland got it going:

COP: SSH, Don Quixote, Russian Soldiers, merkins, elbow plank, LBCs

1/2 Track Beast, The Hard Way: 3 rounds vs 6 – merkins, merkins/WWIIs, merkins/WWIIs/burpees

Pass off to Scrum for some form running on the blacktop: high knees, butt kickers, karaoke, shuffle, slow shuffle. Mosey to the parking lot for 30 second intervals: high knee jumps, plankjack merkins, elbow plank Peter Parkers, and at least two others that YHC can’t remember. Must’ve been awful.

Welcome FNG Captain Bacon! Recent VMI grad, Coast Guard reservist. Just moved into Mr. Holland’s guest room, complete with captain’s license. Put this man on a boat!

YNWA

3 sleepy gents made it out to The Anvil to amble around and occasionally exercise.

COP: SSH, DQ’s, arm circles, flutter kicks, Alabama prom dates, then a few minutes of stretching.

Mosey to the hill at back right of school for 11’s: merkins and Alabama prom dates, run the hill in between.

Mosey to soccer field, cross the longer part of the field by: lunge 10 steps, 10 plank jacks, bear crawl 10 steps, 10 jump squats, repeat to the field’s end.

Mosey to playground for triple check, derkins, LBC’s with partner running to soccer goal and back. Mosey back to the flag, finish up with a few minutes of stretching.

Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS

YHC has become aware that while F3 has helped with strength and endurance, flexibility is not better, as evidenced when his 2.0’s tried to have him do a backbend with them, and YHC didn’t come close. F3 is great for many things, but flexibility should be a bigger component, so YHC worked on that today. The PAX crushed the workout, and YHC’s memory was confirmed of how much it sucks to run that hill. Mumblechatter revolved around Virginia’s plan for when schools reopen and vacation plans. Thanks for allowing me to lead!

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing…

YHC was motivated to get back into the fold of F3 after over a month of Sheltering in place saw the Q was open and decided 7 of diamonds up and down was in order and here is how it went down.

COP

Mosey from Flag to court area near playground next to track.

20 SSH, 10 DQ, 10 Imperial Walkers, 10 Russian Soldiers, 20 LBC’s, 10 reverse Scorpions ,., 10 scorpions and 25 merkins.

The Thang

Mosey to track for 7 of diamonds using the start of the curve of the track and staying together as a PAX and performed in each corner 7 Burpees , 14 4ct, flutter kicks, 21 merkins and 28 squats. We continued by going down with 21 WW2 Sit ups, 14 lunges and 7 Plank Jacks.

Mary

YHC has been riding the Peloton bike at home for the past month of sheltering in place and at the end of all work outs they have cool down and stretch options that they highly recommend so we mosey back to the flag for the final 7 minutes and stretch, perform some flutter kicks, slow Alabama prom dates, and quad, hip and calf stretches.

COT

We talked about families getting back out, what will the new normal be for awhile and Marco Polo took us out.

Great working out with you gents, see you in the gloom….Cheers, CB

Today YHC spend the first half repeating part of that day. The second half came from YHC’s second post and the first one at Atlee HS. Lab Rat at the Q that day and was shock to see the turnout.

Thanks to Carpenter and Bulkhead for making it out today. Also a bigger thanks to all YHC’s fellow F3RVA brother and F3 Hampton Road PAX for the a great last 4 years. This group show so much support to each other day in and day out. That’s something special that is hard to find today.

Nice working out with Spit and Mr Holland today. My arms are going to be sore. SYITG!

After not feeling well for a while, it was finally time to get back into the gloom on the regular for Mr. Holland! Considerably less exciting, when it turned out to be a PAX of one. Unfazed (well, somewhat fazed), YHC launched into a one-man hot potato.

Mosey around the school, land at the blacktop for COP: SSH, Don Q, Imperial Walkers, Russian Soldiers, LBCs.

To the parking lot for Extended Range 11s: Merkins & WWIIs, running the length of the parking lot between them.

MOLESKIN

A week ago today was the 13th anniversary of the VT shooting. YHC was sick with Step Throat last week so couldn’t completed the annual 3.2 miles for 32.

The 16th of April will always be a day of remembrance for YHC. As a college student in 2007, YHC remembers hearing the news while in the DHall on the Longwood University campus about the shooting. Also to find out the shooting was happening in the engineer building where two of YHC’s childhood friends would have had classes in. Luckily they did not but YHC with the rest Virginia college community mourned for the VT campus that day and continue to do so.
