  • Bait not taken.

    Handshake said he was fart sacking this morning and there would be no takeover of the Alamo. My gut told me it was a cover story to fool the good men of the Alamo. Buffalo Bill even captured one of their scouts this morning “EF Hutton.” However, even after several rounds of interrogation we knew Hutton’s claims of visiting his girlfriend around the corner were true. No takeover today. Long live the Alamo.

    Warmorama: Mosey to top of modern home alley for: SSH, stretching, merkins, etc.

    Explained we would be doing:

    B.L.I.M.P.S.

    B – burpees 5x
    L – lunges 10x (kodiak count)
    I – imperial walkers 15x (single count – YHC made this way too easy)
    M – merkins 20x
    P – plank jacks 25x
    S – squats 30x

    And so we did them at:

    1. Alvecote Terrace
    2. Waverton Turn
    3. Endstone Trail/Waverton
    4. Endstone Trail/Port Savage

    Oh yea. Indigenous Person run between each set. Even up Endstone Trail hill.

    Brocode back to Alamo. Partner up for: B.O.M.B.S.
    Similar to Dora 1-2-3 but more exercises, B.O.M.B.S. consisted of Burpees (25x), Overhead Press (50x), Merkins (75x), Big Boy Sit-ups(100x), and Squats (125x). PAX 1 does exercise while PAX 2 runs from tennis court to dumpster and back. Continue alternating until all exercises are complete. 

    A little stretching for 2 min. Then time.

    COT:

    1. Family get together at Rockwood park this Sunday 9/15 from 4 to 6 pm. See DTH/Slack for details.
    2. Sober October is going on. Not too late to jump in. I am reevaluating my relationship with booze and might be done for good. I am at least going through dry January.
    3. Good news! Little Liv is back home and does not need any more treatments. Huge blessing. She can go to daycare, roll around with other kiddos, etc. It’s a big deal. So happy for Yeehaw and his family.
    4. Keep praying for Wildcat and his battle to defeat cancer. We need him out there whooping our butts in shape and making us better Pax
    5. Prayers for people of Israel.

    Wildcat took us out in prayer.

    Wow! What an incredible showing by F3 RVA for the Love for Liv workout at The Alamo on this beautiful morning. Fall was in the air for 77 in total including Ms and 2.0s, 59 F3 Guys which included 5 FNGs. The 2nd F of F3 – Fellowship, shined bright as we lifted Yeehaw, Liv (his daughter who is battling illness) and the entire Schroepfer family up. Liv is truly a fighter and the PAX showed up strong today in support of her fight. Here is how it went down:

    Warm up mosey to the cul-de-sac with return to the Alamo for SSH, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Copperhead Squats, Merkins and LBCS all IC. Heist, DTH and Don Draper split off with the kids for a fun filled workout with them while the PAX performed the following fun filled workout:

    Welcome to the 5 New FNGs – Jason (Swiftie), Finn (Hey Hey), Eli (Switch), John (Reba), Albert (Ponzi)

    PAX transitioned to Walkie Talkies house to enjoy some refreshments and to continue the fellowship. It was great to meet many of the Ms and 2.0s and just enjoy everyone’s company. Not your typical VQ, but I am honored to have led this amazing group of guys on such a special day. I felt my call to lead and honor Liv and so glad I answered. Respect to everyone for showing up and truly making this a blessed Saturday morning! I know the Schroepfer family felt the love and it will be a day for all of us to remember. Continue to spread love, kindness and fellowship!

  • Monday…Battle at the Alamo

    A great turnout of 13 came out this morning(summer is not quite over yet, the humidity said we have some more left to give) decided to venture for a Mudslide Monday Mayhem-style session. A run where I confused everyone(they normally do not see me go that far for that long) should be the indication that something is up, or I feel pretty good. A WARMARAMMA(SSH, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles both directions, Don Quixotes, Copperhead squats, Merkins, LBCs with a little added stretching) got us going. Let the main event begin….

    A triple check to start us out. Heels-elevated squats, Mountain Climbers and a run to the entrance(where I thought Nancy was going to catch a little air when he arrived) was the first part. Once that was completed, a venture over to a hill I remembered where you can get in a good amount of overall work. We started hitting each mailbox on the way down(5 Merkins, 10 2 count ball dippers, 15 WW2, 20 calf raises, 25 double count flutters, 30 jump squats). Ahhh the next part on the way back up, you hit the first mailbox with 30 jump squats, then go 30, 25(then adding an exercise till you finished off at the top completing everything at one clip).

    A little mosey back near the flag to the tennis courts(a little 4 corner lady of the evening style). 10 plank jacks, 20 Alabama Prom Dates, 30 single-count lunges, 40 SSH. Once that was finished, it was time so came back out, Numbers, Names, Announcements and Prayer request(for little Liv, Vagabond’s brother-in-law, plus Cookie’s and all the other kids going back to school today)lead by YHC finished out the morning.

    Nice way to jump start the week. Have a good one, give your little ones a little extra love today
