Numbers / Names YHC took us out

NMS:

YHC knew he would not have time to write the BB so decided to not sign up for the Q if nobody showed YHC would run making the BB easy to write. Tobit showed up and made thing tough on YHC who was going to take the Q regardless.

3 studs embraced the lunar eclipse and posted at Twin Team for another round of exercise and comradery. Here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

Moving warm-up with an Indigenous People’s Run around the 2 schools. Man in the back alternates between 10 side straddle hops and 10 count arm circles.

Make your way across the court doing the following exercises:
Lunge Walks, Broad Jumps, Lt. Dans, Forward Straddle Hops, Hoppin’ Cherry Pickers, Bear Crawl, Crab walk, WWII Crawl Bears, High Knees, Jumping Herpees. Jog back in between sets.

Mosey to Twin Team hill for Exercise Two:

Final thoughts:

Appreciate the efforts by all the PAX today! When you are working out with Doozy and Rosie, definitely have to bring your “A” game. I continue to be taken by surprise on how challenging Twin Team Road can be. It is a beast.

4 battered and bruised vets didn’t believe the forecast and showed up at Twin Team for an end of the work week serving of Gumbo. Turns out Suck was on the menu… but it wasn’t too spice today. Here is how it went down…

Mosey to blacktop behind BWES for COP, including: DQs, Helicopters, Jazzercisers, Russian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, Tempo Merkins, Plank, LBCs and Freddie Mercuries.

THE THANG

11s across the blacktop with both exercises at both sides – merkins and box cutters…and a little downpour!

Plank-o-Rama – thinking time…

Proper Dora – Mosey over to the bus circle and pair up for a Proper Dora. Timer/Rabbit runs the bus loop while the other partner does exercises: 1 HRM, 2 Deep Squats, 3 WWIIs equals 1 rep. Swap and Repeato until 50 reps completed.

Mosey to the front under cover…since it stopped raining

The Mild Suck – Runner runs the front loop and does 5 merkins upon return, Exercises under cover were American Hammers, Flutter Kicks and Ankle Grabbers. 3 Rounds.

ROF – Plank – 10 merkins of choice – 10 squats and back down

Mary – Hello Dolly, Heels to Heaven, Crunchy Frogs, and Freddie Mercuries

BTTF

COT – Numbers, Names and Prayer

It was a great morning to get out and get a sweat going even while working through recent ailments. And, the fellowship was great as always. The best part was mother nature tricking us by holding off the rain and then bringing a downpour right when 11s started…too late for shelter or an audible…Just embrace it!

Thanks for letting me lead guys. A pleasure.

No More Gumbo For You

A talented SOJ duo descended down Robious to find a dark and frosty Betty Weaver. YHC was expecting a solo Q until Rosie headlights arrived on the horizon. According the surprisingly bountiful amount of walkers around James River, this is what supposedly occurred in the gloom.

Short mosey down to James River High School track for quick warm up of Don Quixotes and something else.

THE THANG

4 corners around the track – 10 merkins, 20 WWII’s, 30 Squats, 40 LBC’s

Quick inspection of the frosty field. YHC decided to stay dry and keep on the track for a Beast. Up and back stopping 3 times each for the following exercises in sets of 6 – Mountain Climbers, Merkins, Monkey Humpers, Flutter Kicks, Imperial Squat Walkers and Burpees in some order.

Wosey out of the stadium and to the backside of Bettie Weaver. Indigenous Wall Crawl. 1 person Lunged across asphalt court, Bernie Sanders back while other person stayed on the wall rotating between Peoples Chair and Balls to the Wall. Leapfrog each other with windows.

Mosey back to the flag for quick mary of LBC’s and APD’s.

Numbers Names Announcements, YHC took us out.

Announcements: Happy healing to Doozy with his knee. Good luck to Fresh Prince and his M with the upcoming arrival of his daughter.

NMS: Cold morning had YHC expecting a solo Q with Doozy out on IR. Fortunately Rosie arrived to keep YHC from returning the warmth of the car and ultimately the fart sack. Great conversation always comes out of these low number workouts. Good to learn more of the history of this AO and get motivated for the weekend. All exercises were performed “In Conversation” and welcome to avoid the sometimes off timing of the Cadence. Great spending time in the gloom with you Rosie. Good luck on your travels this weekend.

When YHC heard the rain pounding at 4:30 am, the urge to remain in the fartsack was strong. Unfortunately, I had signed up to Q last night, so the show must go on. Here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

Warm up: Don Quixotes, Arm Circles, Helicopters, Russian Soldiers, Arm Circles, Cherry Pickers. Freddie Mercuries.

Final thoughts:

Enjoyed catching up with Doozy and talking about our families and other topics. This would NOT have been an ideal solo endeavor. After initially ignoring the weather report, I had an elaborate workout planned that spanned the entire property – will have to save that for another day.

Three eager beavers crashed the BWES parking lot – 1 stir-crazy gentlemen in recovery mode out for a dark stroll, and 1 down for whatever concoction Gumbo had in store. Today, it was an off campus excursion that went a little something like this:

Grab a headlamp…you know what that means.

0530 bell rings and off we go toward the namesake hill. Stop in the cul de sac from a brief COT of DQs, Helicopters, Jazzercisers and Imperial Walkers to loosen up the back and legs. Round 1 of exercises – 21 merkins and 21 LBCs OYO, then, up the hill we go. I’ll call it a run, but YHC ended up more like a mosey. Stop at the top for round 2 – 21 merkins, 21 LBCs, 21 Alternating Shoulder Taps, 21 Flutter Kicks – OYO. Run on Twin Team out to Robious Road and across into Tarrington. Stop at the Gates of Tarrington for round 3 – 21 merkins, 21 LBCs, 21 ASTs, 21 FKs, 21 Carolina Dry Docks, 21 Freddie Mercuries. Run down Ashwell hill to the Tarrington Clubhouse for round 4 – 21 merkins, 21 LBCs, 21 ASTs, 21 FKs, 21 Carolina Dry Docks, 21 Freddie Mercuries, 21 Dips and 21 box cutters. Run around the block heading back toward JRHS – stop at both traffic circles for bonus rounds of 21 Merkins and 21 Mountain Climbers on the curb of the circles. Run to front office door of JRHS for round 5 – 21 merkins, 21 LBCs, 21 ASTs, 21 FKs, 21 Carolina Dry Docks, 21 Freddie Mercuries, 21 Dips and 21 box cutters, 21-count plan hold and 21 American Hammers. Run BTTF, right on time.

COT, Numbers, Names, Prayer.

YHC forgot just how bad TT hill is. It sucks. YHC has been wanting to do this off-campus run/workout for a while and with just two of us I thought it was a good way to test out the timing. It was perfect. This will come back again, I promise.

The “21” count was in honor of YHC’s 21st wedding anniversary with my M yesterday. Can’t believe it. I have been married to this wonderful woman for half of my life. The big man upstairs was smiling on me when he convinced her to say yes!

Go forth and take your F3 energy and spirit into the day and spread it widely men. SYITG.

Numbers / names / YHC took us out

NMS:

YHC got a text from Last Call at the wee hours of the morning “not going to make it” so YHC was counting on the possibility of seeing Bullseye or Chaplain this morning. YHC had a great surprise waiting for him in the parking lot with Gumbo already there and Rosie not far behind. YHC really had no plan for the beatdown but knew with these two studs even in recovery mode we could get some things done.

YHC was solo at Rock and Roll this week and solo at Twin Team. YHC might have to take his monthly shower a little early this month just to get the PAX back out in numbers.

No COP this morning just mosey to the hill

Run Top to Bottom three times to match the number of ladies from Monday (see Rock and Roll BB)

BTTF

1/Doozy/YHC will pray for you guys

No NMS

A quartet of SOJ studs descended on Twin Team for a Last Call beatdown with the lunar calendar showing the last Friday of the month. Taking a page from Honeymoon, a Murph was called by the light of the moon. Here is how it went down:

Quick 1,600 meter mosey around James River High school to include 1 lap around the track and back up to Betty Weaver fields. Collect Bullseye along the way. Warmarama around the equipment that included arm circles and dead man hang followed by the Murph rountine. 10 pull ups, 20 merkins, 30 squats followed by a run across the field and back. Complete 10 rounds holding for the 6 after each round. Pull ups became more of an arm hang for YHC during the 1st round until completion, you vs. you.

Murph completed with time to spare, lets continue to work the shoulders with a curb crawl around the bus loop, indigenous people style. Caboose lunges to the front and repeato until time.

Names, Numbers, Announcements, YHC took us out

Announcements: Sip & See Retreat this weekend where Gumbo is primed to retain Corn Hole Crown. His M has found a special place in the home for the trophy to be displayed. T Claps to Bone Thugs with his incredible story and health improvement. See slack for his details.

NMS: Some mumble chatter this morning to include seeing long time acquaintances that have held up over the years. Doozy called the Murph early on noticing the unusual running distance for a Last Call Q. Moonlight really helped navigate the damp field. Good to see some regulars at Twin Team. Hope to continue sports discussion as it is a great start to the weekend. Safe travels to those going to the retreat.

At 5:30 am, 5 SOJ studs converged at The Swamp for another round of Twin Team action. Humid conditions and extra abrasive asphalt could not diminish our enthusiasm. Here is brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

Mosey to JRHS parking lot for warm ups: Russian Soldiers, Don Quixotes, Imperial Walkers, Helicopters, Arm Circles, Dead Man Hang, Cherry Pickers.

Gumbo took us out.

Final Thoughts: It was great to see Gumbo and Limehouse return to Twin Team. Props to them for also running to and from the workout. Lots of strong mumble chatter about kid’s sports and the WFT’s thrilling win last night (maybe that was just me). As always, it was honor to lead.
