Amelia Court House

  • Two To Tango

    Two freedom loving warriors made a choice without force or coercion to greet the dawn of a new day. The internal calling to improve oneself was so great no incentive, lottery or external prize was needed. According to the Amelia County Historical Society, it went a little something like this.

    Start at the courthouse and mosey around downtown to the public soccer field. This soccer field was to No Toll as road kill is to filet minon. COP

    SSH, IW, DQ, WWII, FB, Merkin X 20

    Country Mile: Follow the approximately 1/2 mile loop and complete one burpee at each light post.

    Lindsey/Lindsay/Linsee Lite: Start with 10 Merkins at the bottom of the hill, run to top of the hill to the school house and complete 30 Squats. Back to bottom for round two of 20/20, round three 30/10.

    Beast Of Me Is The Best Of Me: Mosey to previously mentioned soccer field. Exercises – SSH, squat, AH, crunch, merkin, burpee.

    Triple Czech: Start at the courthouse steps. 3 rounds of man running, the other man exercising. Exercises – dips, decline merkins, plank.

    COT: Numberama, namerama and Nails took us out.

    Moleskin: When a man finds himself with so many blessings, the next logical step is to share them. This was a scouting workout as we are making a concerted effort to share the incredible joy and meaning a bunch of sweaty middle aged guys can bring to one another. Details to come this week.

    And finally…

    Q: What do you it when a chameleon can’t change colors?

    A: A reptile dysfunction.

  • It Begins At The End

    One freedom loving warrior fought off the fartsack to christen the newest AO. According to the county historical offices, it went a little something like this.

    COP – Light run around courthouse square.

    Hells Half Mile Burpees – Following a 6/10 mile route around town, complete a burpee at each light post.

    Hells Half Mile Pain Roulette – Same route as above. At each light alternate between 10 merkins and 10 v-ups.

    Compounding Four Corners – Corner 1 10 Squats, Corner 2 10 Merkins, Corner 3 10 WWII, Corner 4 10 Burpees. Hit each corner on the way out and back. At each corner escalate or deescalate exercises as well.

    COT: Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

    Moleskin: YHC has been talking about this for months. There’s always a reason to start something later, to plan a little better and what not. There’s also a place for action. When doing some headlocking I don’t want to say “I’m gonna start this soon”, I will be saying “join me, rain or shine”.

    The AO is freaking awesome and I can’t wait to explore this place a little more. The important thing was to start.

    Dig a little deeper and get it all out.
