4 SOJers hit the mean streets of Northwestern Chesterfield County for a little throwback route. 3 went to the south toward the river and the lone rucker headed into The Hill.

Keeping this one short due to lack of time today but the 3 ‘boot campers’ traveled 3 miles through Tarrington and most importantly down Twin Team. Plenty of stops along the way for a variety of arms, core, and legs.

I appreciate the company this morning gentlemen, apologies to House Party for dragging him into running when he thought he was getting a boot camp but I wouldn’t have hit that route if I didn’t know he could handle it.

Many announcements – see slack and other BB.

Prayers for Honeymoon and his family.

Final Thoughts: Florence confirmed that this was not an impromptu West End takeover. Great catching up with Crash Test Dummy who is about to start EOD school for the Air Force.

NMS:

Lots going on this week and really just forgot to write this BB. Had a great Friday night with Tobit, Orange Crush and Nancy Lopez watching the mighty Monacan Chiefs win their football game. YHC promised Tobit that he would get this BB out as not to mess with his Big Data points.

5 Godlike Titans rose before the sun and descended onto Bettie Weaver to make themselves better prior to a weekend of debauchery. According the yippy black dog walking his owner around the parking lot, this is what was rumored to have occurred.

4 bootcampers ventured out leaving behind a solo rucker transcended parts unknown or atleast not told. Bootcampers moseyed down to James River High School for quick disclaimer and warm up that included invisible jump rope, helis, cherry pickers, jazzercise, merkins, X planks, LBCs and hello dollies. All seemed warm so we moseyed over to the bus loop:

The THANG:

Triple Check with 4: Timer runs across the parking lot and up the Regimental Tower. Others performed a variety of wall work that included Australian Mountain Climbers, Dirty Hookups and Hoedowns.

Upon completion and the gathering of various clothing items, mosey to the student parking lot for some Parking Lot work: Bear Crawl across the parking lot, stopping at the lines for ascending merkins 1-10. Next round, lunges with ascending squats 1-10. Finished – lets work on those abs

Indigenous Pole Smokers. Grab a pole and hold 6″, Far left person does 3 pole smokers and takes the vacant pole on the other side. Continue the leap frog until the end, which took a long time.

BTTF for quick Not So LazyBoy Mary.

Great advice and guidance has been a blessing. Thank you for the fellowship and thoughts.

Tobit took us out

Final Thoughts: Strong work this morning fellas! We were not exactly lighting up the scoreboard during the 3 point contest. Blame was placed on the ball, poor lighting, tight forearms, uneven pavement, and other external factors. We were using a deflated soccer ball, so that part may have been legit. Lots a great mumble chatter including a break down of Chokies football as well as the team from Free Shoes University. Tobit had a funny anecdote about challenging a middle schooler to a pull-up contest.

As always, it was an honor to lead
