Tag: Satan’s Hill

The Village next door was quiet—until 7 HIMs laced up and ran it awake. We circled up, knocked out a light jog and stretch, and then went straight to work.

The Thang:

• Run through the wood to the village to get the blood moving.
• Merkin Madness – regular, wides, and diamonds.
• Core Crusher – freddies, hammers, leg lifts, flutters. HIMs groaned, but we kept the rhythm.
• Another Run into the Shoulder Tear Series – arm lifts, low lifts, apple pickers.
• Run + Baby Satan Hill – sprints that left no man questioning why the hill got its name over at the village.
• More mountain climbers and side-straddle hops, sprinkled with more running.
• Closed strong with burpees, another run, and—you guessed it—more burpees.

Mumble Chatter: Even Cpt Kirk admitted it had been a minute since he’d taken a beatdown like that. He kept stressing he couldn’t disclose his profession… oh snap—do we have a spook in the PAX? 👀

COT: Grateful for the early morning iron sharpening iron. The Village won’t forget who woke it up today.

As I watched Tua hand the game to Buffalo, I pondered what today’s beatdown should be. Help Matlock run 8 miles? Break out the cornhole boards? YHC landed somewhere in-between…however waking up and recovering from yesterday’s IPC, my quads were feeling the pain. Too bad, the show must go on!

12 HIMs began to mosey, then Hermey showed up in a SmartCar and we took off for an indian run to a cul-de-sac hidden in darkness so we could admire the stars. Quick count showed 12 HIMs made it, so Nancy and Mudslide launched a Saving Private Hermey rescue mission while we warmed up.

Quick mosey around the parking lot to kill 20 seconds so Nancy wouldn’t be disappointed in me.

Stretch those quads!

FNG – Oops
John D. (Dunningham, Dunnington!?) is Wildcat’s neighbor and came out for the first of many F3 posts today! Glad to have you out there. He has lived in Midlothian for 15+ years but is new to New Market and will soon find out what type of riff-raff he has surrounded himself with. He is a lawyer and Matlock immediately went in for the bromance. I assume John D. spends most of his day sending harassing/dad-tone emails about coin appraisals…but I digress. Searching for ideas, we asked about first concert and the PAX got excited to learn that in the second grade he went to see Britney Spears. Great options were thrown out, but as a John who is an Eagles fan, one rose above the rest.

Welcome, Oops!

YHC took us out in prayer.

Eight HIMS came out to Satan’s Hill on this cool morning to end the week on a high note. After a brief mosey, we warmed up with side straddle hops, Don Quixote, Ukrainian Soldiers, and some deadman hangs.

For the workout, took a tour of the neighborhood Indigenous Run style. After all members of the pax completed their sprint, we circled up for a Ring of Fire. After a full cycle through the Ring of Fire, we hit the pavement again for another Indigenous Run. Rinse and Repeat. When we finally returned to the clubhouse, Mudslide led us in 10 minutes of broga to take us home.

Was it a beat down? Not all. But it was a good, full body workout to end another week.

COT: names and numbers. Announcements: Homegrown half in 2 weeks, overnight ruck in September. Prayer requests: Teddy KGB’s daughter has surgery today; No Show bowed out of today’s workout early with a calf strain. It was an honor to lead you fine gentlemen this morning!

It’s often mentioned that Alamo and surrounding AOs are just pavement, and we like it that way! There’s a new neighborhood opening by Satans Hill and the smell of new pavement got us from six to midnight and we had to go explore. Nancy brought the ghost flag as a reminder of the power he possesses, but he held onto the flag for another day.

YHC announced we had a long mosey, and away we went. Up the main road and hang a right at the construction zone. Warm up included standard items, but we added a new one, the Merman, known for loosening up your back.

Partner up. There are 4 workout stations spaced out along the road. Each team ran to a different one to start, but it would go 1-2-3-4 then back to 1.

1 – 8 KB squat curl press, 8 upright rows, 8 skullcrushers

2 – 8 cinder managers, 8 curls, 8 overhead press

3 – 8 sandbag squats, 8 thrusters, 8 plank pull throughs

4 – 8 banded merkins, 8 deadlifts, 8 overhead press

Nancy and YHC completed two full circuits then made the mile long run from station 4 BTTF, grabbing PAX members as we went.
