5 HIM’s not interested in the Iron Pax craziness joined YHC for a little Twin Team fun. YHC had considered making today’s workout more difficult than the Iron Pax but then realized that this was not his best idea. Warmarama: SSH (perfect form Tobit), Arm circles, Dead man hangs, Don Qui-lo-te’s, Thang 1: Up the Twin Team hill we ran stopping at every drive way for a group exercise. We did throw a Jilian Michaels exercise in for giggles. Nancy Lopez was very positive about said experience. I’m pretty sure that F.U. means “Great idea OC!”, right? Thang 2: Partner…

5 brave souls were feeling Lucky and YHC was feeling nostalgic this morning in the TwinTeam gloom. It was high time for a Lucky Horseshoe. Mosey to the Swamp track for a quick stretch and then set the timer for 33 minutes and the PAX finishes as much as they can YvY style of the following: Lap and 20 merkins Lap and 20 merkins, 20 storm squats (Imperial walker with 2 squats = 1) Lap and 20 merkins, 20 storm squats, 20 scorpion dry docks (switch scorpion legs after 10) Lap and 20 merkins, 20 storm squats, 20 scorpion dry…
A lone car sat in the parking lot with the PAX inside wondering if he would still complete the Murph if no one else showed up. Fortunately (or not) a fellow SOJer showed up to join in the fun. Kids and business growth were on the agenda for mumblechatter on the run and limited to painful groans during the pullups, merkins, and squats. All 10 rounds complete and better for it. Lots on the agenda for the coming weeks. Check slack or ask around for details.
YHC was excited to see and welcome 3 visitors – two from the North 40 and one of them city folk – to Twin Team today. It’s becoming a tradition to take our guests up and down Twin Team, but YHC had something else in mind today. At 530 sharp, the beasts left the parking. Warmarama – A mix of exercises and Broga was on the menu. Side straddle hops, jazzercize, helicopters, dead man hangs, lizard poses / twists, downward dog, merkins, scorpions and twists. Thang 1: Call an exercise, start with 1, then run across the parking lot, 2…
It’s been a while since YHC made it all the way to Twin Team, but the experienced among you will know exactly what that means. Sisyphus was back in the gloom this morning! A Magnificent Seven made their way to the top of Twin Team Hill as the Q dropped flower pots along the way; most of the PAX were new to this nonsense. A quick COP included SSH, Don Quixote, Ukrainian soldiers, cherry pickers, and a claim that Corned Beef has eleven fingers. Then, the Sisyphus: simple enough, just run to a flower pot, do something, and go back…
This was my first time posting at Twin team, but I am no stranger to the area surrounding the Swamp having spent many hours running up bleachers, hills, etc during wrestling practice (Handshake can attest). I pulled into Beattie Weaver this morning about 10 minutes early to see Rosie sitting in his car ready to roll. By 530, we had a total of 6 SOJ brethren ready to rock out and explore the wondrous National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence: James River Highschool. Mosey from Beattie Weaver parking lot towards Janes River Highschool with 5 dudes in tow. Quick beeline…
7 runners, 3 walkers, and a canine pal arrived at Starbucks to greet the gloom. Storms cooled things off but also left some destruction and damage across Salisbury in their wake. The runners’ 9+mile route was past Draper’s, past DK’s, to the top of Twin Team, descent/climb optional, back past the coldest water fountain in SOJ and back to the start. Sunday slowday rules had to be reiterated to Rosetta and Annie trying to set a brisk pace. Great to have Rosetta and Hardywood back out, 2 guys who can step in and hit 9+ miles whenever they want. Walkers…
6 HIM’s made their way to Twin Team for the monthly Murph. DTH brought the tunes, jokes were made at Tobit’s expense, but strict form with natural weighted vests was on the menu at TT. Each month that we do this, we all humbled by the originator of this event. What a beast. We were all thankful for the gentle breeze, workout and time together. Boberry took us out.
Another Murph Friday, another day of perfect form. Fresh meat showed up as State Farm ventured north to take on the challenge. DTH brought the music which was a new and welcome addition to the Murph, somehow it made things go faster. Glad to get out of there before the sun starts cooking today. Stay cool brothers.
A double digit turn out converged onto Betty Weaver to experience the heat and humidity of a fine summer SOJ day. Todays PAX was made up of some Twin Team regulars, not so regulars, summer tourists and newbies. Kettlebells was the primitive plan but with Twin Team virgin in the group, an audible was called for. Here is how I remember things going down. Everyone pull out your weighted handleballs or light blocks and stash them in a group to be played with later. Short mosey to the base of Twin Team Hill for introductions, disclaimers and warm ups that…
