NMS:

Its good to get a beatdown in when its just two people. The conversation can go a little deeper than the normal surface stuff. Thanks OC for just keeping it real.

7 Southside gentlemen showed up at Bettie Weaver Elementary School on an excellent morning for a workout/run. All 7 started off on the road toward James River High School and the 5 boot campers peeled off to the parking lot and 2 runners kept going to tackle 6ish miles on the morning. The boot camp is where the fun happened.

After a warmup of some DQ, IW, SSH, Merkins and LBC in front of the school entrance we heard a little story about a co-worker that didn’t think the needed to make sure the lugnuts are on your car when the dealer rotates your tires (hint, the tire does not stay on the car). Parking lot tracers in the bus parking lot until YHC got tired of them and moseyed over to the tennis courts. A quick 4 corners within the fence – 10HRM, 20 Jump squats, 30 Freddies, 40 Mtn Climbers. Over to the school workout area for 5 pullups each. YHC missed the tire pile next to the school so we moseyed over there for a little tire flipping fun. Grab a tire, flip it 10x in the parking lot, run to the building, come back flip it 10x; or at least that was the plan until our own Parking Lot Karen showed up to cut this idea short. More detail later.

Pull up bars – 5 more pullups/jerkins. Track – repeato 4 corners. Playground 5 more pullups. 2 burpees per light pole on the mosey back to the flag and close out with some Mary and Ring of Fire.

Good distance traveled to show off some of the lesser seen parts of the the AO. Be on the lookout for Q’s in May when there could be plans to hit the River for some sunrise workouts.

Here’s how we threw off the morning of some poor woman in the back James River High School parking lot. After the first round of tire flipping a car shows up – we move the tires and ourselves out of the drive aisle so she can drive through or park in any of the 20+ parking spaces…no movement. Move one tire out of a parking space…no movement…she puts the blinker on…we look around, one tire left in the last parking space in the line. We move that tire so she can pull in and complete an 8 point turn to get the car just right. Somewhere a teacher is complaining about a group of hoodlums that hijacked the school’s tires and refused to move them some she could get into her preferred parking space. Sorry for disturbing your morning routine, future uses of the tires, and there will be future uses, will be done in the field (or in that last parking space depending on how bitter we’re feeling).

Have a great day gentlemen.

YHC lead us out.

Final Thoughts:
Terrible backblast title, but a great workout by all! I was informed that the runners did 9 miles – we never saw them after 5:30. It was great to have Offshore roll in to complete my dream of doing a Triple Check. Thrilla Gorilla’s proved to very challenging and quite the leg buster. I don’t think any of us will be selected for the hurdling team. Safe travels for Doozy and his family!

10 for the Murph and 2 for running. 

Mossy around the school and the track for a mile to get to the main playground.

10 rounds of the below with each round consisting of the following exercises.

• 10 pullups
• 20 Merkins
• 30 squats

After we completed the 10 rounds we headed back to the parking lot with the normal stop at the track to make sure we got the full mile in.  Total millage equaled 2 miles with a nice little beat-down in the middle.

COT, Name-a-rama, Number-rama

7 Brethren landed at Twin Team to win the daily battle against Sad Clown Syndrome. 4 Pyschopaths thought it was a good idea to run up and down Twin Team hill for 45 minutes : Tobit, Orange Crush, Bobbery and Don Draper. 3 Sane Minded brothers took on this bootcamp :

Warmarama : 20 SSH IC, 10 Russian Soldiers IC, 10 Imperial Walkers IC, 10 Don Q’s IC, 10 Cherry Pickers IC, 10 Merkins IC

THE THANG :

Mosey to nearest corner of School Building

Walls of Jericho :

Just as Joshua was instructed to do in the Bible – performed around a large building so we used the school building, pick 7 different exercises and complete 7 reps of each then run a lap around the building. Complete for 7 laps. Exercises we did before each lap were Squat Jumps, Merkins, Freddie Mercuries DOUBLE COUNT, Ball Dippers DOUBLE COUNT, Merkins, WWII’s, Lunges DOUBLE COUNT

Timeout so YHC can wizz behind a building before he pisses his pants

Mosey to hill on the side of Bettie Weaver

Triple Nickel : Start at bottom of the hill, run to top and complete 5xcalled exercise, run to bottom and complete 5xcalled exercise, 5 repetitions (5/5/5=Triple Nickel). The exercise we did was Burpees. 

Mosey back to Ole Glory for 1 minute of LBC’s

DONE

Numberama

Namerama

COT : Coffeeteria after Rock N Roll is switching to Starbucks instead of Dunkin. It’s slightly closer and better service. Never should’ve doubted Boberry’s employer.

Continued prayers for all PAX battling through injury and on IR. We love you, are praying for you, and are here for you.

NMMS : It’s crazy how the increase in temperature and humidity can affect endurance. YHC was gassed by the time we reached the Triple Nickel.

4 cars in the parking lot this morning but only one willing to bootcamp, the other three went to ring Gumbos door bell before running away to hide. What was done at that solo bootcamp remains a mystery. YHC can tell you that there where lots of merkins a few LBC’s some dolly’s and Rosallita’s just to name a few but if you want to know what it all totaled up to you’ll have to come to Twin Team to find out.

A trio of runners joined a pair of boots for the enjoyment of a fine Virginia morning. The clock struck time so off we went our separate ways. According the janitorial staff wandering around Betty Weaver, this is what was rumored to have occured.

Quick mosey to the bus loop for a warm up that included DQ’s, Heli’s, Arm Circles, Dead Man Hang, LBC’s and Hello Dollies. Wander over to the black top to try out some 4 corners to waste time and burn some energy. Exercises included merkins, American Hammers, Squats and Monkey Humpers. Burpees were performed between each round.

Mosey to the Jungle Gym for a Stationary Dora. 50 Hanging Leg Lifts, 100 Bent Leg Lifts, 150 Dips. Do as many as you can while partner planks.

Mosey back under cover for 50 lunges and 3 minutes of Broga to end a full week.

Announcements: Draper is doing some track work on Monday in celebration of his upcoming departure from “Hate”. 40 laps around the James River High School Track to commemorate each year. Come join the celebration with as many years you wish to join him. See slack for details.

NMS: Great to get back out to Twin Team. This AO has so much to offer in variety and space, good mix today with Chap. Great working with him with ample mumble chatter. Runners put in some good hill mileage as well. Ran held off mostly, wind was constant but refreshing. Good work today gents. Great way to kick off the weekend.

7 brave souls braved the first Murph of 2022!  

Mossy around the school and the track for a mile to get to the main playground.

10 rounds of the below with each round consisting of the following exercises.

• 10 pullups
• 20 Merkins
• 30 squats

After we completed the 10 rounds we headed back to the parking lot with the normal stop at the track to make sure we got the full mile in.  Total millage equaled 2 miles with a nice little beat-down in the middle.

After hitting a few icy spots on the road to BWES, YHC arrived at Twin Team to find Doozy and Boberry waiting. Here’s what went down.

Mosey to Twin Team hill, climb the hill for COP:

SSHs, Russian Soldiers, Cherry Pickers, DQs

Hill Repeats:

YHC originally had some blinking running lights to mark two spots on Twin Team. Unfortunately, they froze to death and we ended up using a couple driveways/mailboxes as markers.

Round 1 – Run to first marker, perform 20 merkins and run back to top of Twin Team. Turn around and run back to first marker, 20 more merkins. Keep descending this time to the second marker and do 10 burpees. Run all the way back up Twin Team and wait for the six.

Round 2 – Repeato but this time with 20 WWIIs and 40 two-count American Hammers

Round 3 – Repeato with 30 jump squats and 60 LBCs

Believe it or not, each round took about 10 minutes and so the PAX moseyed back down Twin Team and to BWES for 4 minutes of Mary: flutter kicks, Rosalitas, crunchy frogs, and 5 burpees OYO.

Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayer Requests, YHC took us out.

NMS:

Lots of hill climbs this morning and it seems that scaling Twin Team never really gets any easier. We logged almost 4 miles this morning and YHC appreciates Bo and Doozy indulging him on an obviously running heavy boot camp.

Prayers for pax and their families dealing with COVID right now.

Enjoy your Friday fellas…peace!

Strong showing as we adventured off the normal grounds and found a huge parking lot. Multiple 4 corners along with multiple prostitutes! ALso the group was split with 4 runers.
