  • Canon in D

    3 of the Lumberyard’s finest rolled in on this nippy morning. Lots of chatter as Wildwood got hitched! We were happy to hear everything went great and to catch all the details. Ironically we did 4 corners prostitution style during this beat down: 10 squats, 20 WW2, 30 merkins, and 40 SSH. We killed legs by doing lunges around the parking lot indigenous style. We cleared the parking lot shortly after 0800 to get our body temps back up to 98.6!

  • BBBLAZE

    With the strength of 20 men at the Lumberyard this gloom, emerged 2 grizzled gladiators! But first, they had some detective work to do as an abandoned, smooshed up BMW was found in the parking lot, much investigation and speculation was made in place of Warmarama. Once we realized we could go no further with the investigation, we called in the Sheriffs dispatch knowing full well every time a sheriff is present, 10 burpees must be performed. The following is the Q Potato witnessed by a smashed beemer and a couple of Sheriff Deputy’s. Warmup with 10 burpees.

    Snake Lot Squats – Follow the parking spaces in a snake travel pattern, perform 3 air squats per parking spaces.

    Indigenous PAX – Round 1 – P1 Lunges with 50 lb sand bag , while P2 runs around the parking lot, switch when runner catches up to lunger.
    Round 2 – P1 3 Merkins and bear Crawls, P2 runs around the lot.

    Do a bit of mid workout Warmarama and stretching and another Deputy showed up (10 burpees).

  • Figure 8 of Pain

    5 Men started with a mosey and a warmup which included side straddle hops, copper head squats, and arm circles. A gunshot rang out nearby and conversation of Yukon bagging a big buck started. Sadly, Yukon was more of a squirrel whisperer this morning.

    After warmup the figure 8 began. Running the Lumberyard path, starting with the bottom half of the figure at, we stopped at every “To Give a Mouse a Cookie” sign to do 20 WWII’s.

    Reaching the center of the figure 8 we grabbed some coupons for a round of 11’s. 11’s consisted of Squat Thrusters and weighted Alabama Prom Dates. Cindy quickly got the best of Beaver, but he would not be defeated.

    Finishing 11’s we set out to finish the top half of the figure 8 with 20 WWII’s continuing at all of the Mouse’s signs. There were reports of chafing and potentially losing the mouse’s cookies, but everyone finished strong, completing a 2.5 mile run with too many WWII’s to count.

    Announcements: New location for Loco Motion at New Kent High School on Fridays, as well as an upcoming daddy daughter dance and Thanksgiving Day convergence.

    Prayer requests for Pool Boy and his family as they are dealing with the loss of their grandmother.

    Mosey to the Handicap Spaces near the playground for COP 2 – 7’s – Mike Tyson / Pole Smokers

    Mosey to the Coupons way over yonder for COP 3 – Dora …“Leroy Jenkins!” Exclaims Choo Choo – this had to have been at least a half mile round trip to the AED, shortly after YHC proactively changes the LJ destination to the much closer center field flag. Like I was saying Dora- Partner Up / 100 Incline Merkins / 200 Wet Toilet Seats / 300 LBC’s – Partner carries coupon to top of trail and back.

    Sugar Rush calls for Leroy Jenkins, run to the flag on our way back, pick up our gear and head back to the invisible F3 flag.
