Tag: The Lumberyard

Mumble chatter of previous rucks we’ve talked about trying to get more distance in. We started out rucking into the neighborhood under a shooting star. After a quick loop I let the guys know we’re going the distance. We started to mosey, I called out to the group to pick a house and that’s where we would slow to our usual pace. This is how we continued throughout the ruck to get us past the 5K mark. Intermittently finding markers to run to. This was definitely a calf burner on the hills but a great warmup for the Beaver Q. Choo Choo probably thought they’re was an emergency as we ran to meet up with him to interrupt his parking lot broga/ run session. We did finish up a few minutes early to meet the new FNG’s. Numbers are growing in the lumberyard with a promising 2025. Great work fellas.

Quick 2.5 mile ruck to warm up for the lumberyard CSAUP. The rain held off for a beautiful December morning ruck. Great mummble chatter with Choo Choo. We had a beautiful view of the morning light poking through the clouds and a Beaver running the football field.

It was a great Saturday gloom for 4 HIM’s in The Lumberyard! Choo Choo finally made it out after working downrange in WV this week, it was great to have him back.

Quick Warmarama! – Cherry Pickers IC 10, DQ’s IC 10, Ukrainian Soldiers IC 10, Fudd’s Wife?, Wilson’s Wife, Roscoe’s Wife.

The Thang!

Rendition of a rendition of The Beast and The Alpha. The Omega! 8 reps x8 sets x8 rounds.

Start at the corner of the soccer field and do a figure 8 through the entire field at every corner to make 8 stops(50 yard run between stops). Meet back up at starting point for next round. Included: Merkins, LBC’s, Squats, Shoulder Taps, Crunchy Frogs, Diamond Merkins. YHC cut it short for the next COP.

Pool Boy and I almost splashed Merlot! But we kept the cork on it!

COP 2

A game I learned down in Newport News. Requires F3 Workout Card deck and Frisbees. Q establishes launch point to throw frisbees to concrete pad. Run to pick up your frisbee after throwing to bring it back. If you miss the concrete = 5 burpee penalty when you get back. All PAX after disc retrieval regardless of concrete or grass landing, flip over their own card from the deck to preform the workout. All workouts are 25 reps. All MOT is the soccer field and back. All 100 count cards are as is. The PAX pulled a world class move in joining me as YHC drew the Bear Crawl card at the end of the workout. Excellent support guys, I’m glad I didn’t have to do it alone, that’s one of the many perks of this group!

Numbers and Names

YHC closed us out in COT and prayer. Praying for the health of our HIM’s and family members.

Last weekends sermon at church has been on my mind, and I want to share it here. It is up to us to choose to be joyful or not in our daily lives. Do everything you can with joy in your heart, even if it might not be a joyful experience.

Merry Christmas to you and your families gentlemen! See you in the gloom.

The cold weather hit incredibly hard this gloom as YHC struggled keeping his breath while counting cadence during Warmarama.

Had the pleasure of meeting Bangkok and his brother in law Joe on this frosty morning. Bangkok started a chapter of F3 in Jersey about 2 years ago. I can’t remember the whole story about Bangkok’s name but it has something to do with running marathons in Japan I could totally be wrong about that. I had my own reasons why I thought he might have had that name. Joe who does IT tech just relocated here in New Kent with his soon to be wife. Poolboy had his heart set on naming him Snooki but I just couldn’t do it to the poor man.

Also found out today that Poolboy can farmer carry 2 Cindy’s over 200 yards without touching the ground. That’s after a brutal shoulder work out!

Be grateful to feel this pain!!!
