AS usual we found the morning to be70 degrees and sunny, hopefully somewhere, but 12 men showed to fight off the holiday treats that are flowing abundantly these days! We moseyed toward West Broad Village and stopped at the familiar PAD for warm ups. After the legal ease warnings, 15 SSH, 15 Don Qs, 20 LBCs, and 10 slow merkins. We then launched to start the Christmas window shopping in the Trader Joes parking lot with a cumulative 4 corners done twice to match our 8 days till Christmas. We did 10 merkins, 20 WW2s, 30 squats, and 40 SSHs. After the 2 rounds we moseyed over towards the Gazebo along the lake. We took in the beautiful Christmas lights and feeling especially festive stopped in from of ACAC to give the F3 hello to those paying for their workouts, from the 2nd floor the treadmill runners enjoyed seeing 12 men waive hello with 25 Monkey Humpers and then 10 Merkins. Heading to the Gazebo we stopped and said a quick hello and then continued the long way around the lake to the flag. Pulling up with little time left and 3 miles covered. 6 of us headed to Dunkin after for some F2 time. Prayers for those sick and battling cancer, those who are hurting emotionally and for the blessings to be able to be out of bed and working out with these fine men. Thanks for allowing me the lead today. Merry Christmas!

Frozen Roads, Warm Deck
Eight braved the elements and posted at WTH despite frozen roads. To keep the PAX upright, we shifted to the parking deck and ran it up and down. At every turn we knocked out 15 Merkins; at the bottom we switched to 20 two-count Freddie Mercurys. On the third round we did 15 Jumping Jacks, then finished things off with a final round of 5 Burpees.
Strong work by all who showed!

Lake Loops … Again
Eight showed up on a warm 60° morning for a mix of running and bootcamp. We hit the Lake again for four loops, stopping each time for 20 Derkins, 20 Dips, and 20 Heels to Heaven. By the end we logged around 3.5 miles and plenty of mumble chatter, with strong effort and great attitudes all around.
Sorry for the delayed backblast, fellas.

Denied!
Eleven warriors ran 1.25 miles, warmed up in the Wellesley bridge parking lot, ran down a dark path into the woods, slipped on ice, were denied access to the Wellesley basketball court, ran up a hill, lunge walked across an icy bridge, did a triple check including WW2 and merkins, lunge walked the bridge again, and then ran 1.25 miles home. 3.15 miles total including the triple check and getting lost in the woods.
All in 46 minutes.

Celebration Time!
Lot’s to celebrate at WTH today, but first, we grind! Run to Wells Fargo to open some bogus accounts and knock out COP. Onward to Kroger for a pretty-dang-big-prostitute-style 4 corners. Gold Digger hit some small rocks just right (wrong?) and tweaked his knee. All corners completed, we ran/walked/limped BTTF. For an F3 1st, Borat sprinted back to the AO, jumped in his car and scooped up Gold Digger. We checked F3’s bylaws and determined this action to be acceptable and appropriate.
Numbers. Names.
Announcements: Green Hornet is 41 today. Banjo turned 23 yesterday. Full House landed a new job. I’m 21 years sober today. Members Only launches officially 11/7 and they need a Q.
Prayer Requests: Prayers for UPS due to yesterday’s crashed plane. 7 are dead, people are still missing. Of course, many folks out there are impacted by this. Earlier in the day, there was a bomb threat at Reagan National Airport. Prayers for Roger Roger’s industry and all impacted. Prayers for physical healing for Gold Digger.
YHC took us out.
Lastly, Roger Roger brought Dunkin coffee and donuts, threw it out on the tailgate of his truck and we got our celebration on! Great way to start the day.
Well done Pax. Way to work today. Have a great Wednesday and I’ll SYITG!

Lake Loops
Ten posted on an early Wednesday for a run/bootcamp combo. We headed to Goose Lake and, after a quick warm-up, knocked out lake loops with pain stations: 20 Derkins, 20 WWIIs, 20 Monkey Humpers for the first two loops, then 10 Burpees, 20 two-count LBCs, 40 Calf Raises. Four loops later, time was up and we ran back to the Flag. Total: ~3.5 miles. Great job, everyone!

Exploring the space
We did 3 miles and a bunch of exercises and never left Pocahontas middle.
We started off moseying to the track and doing a lap. After 25 merkins, we did two more laps, moseying the curves and sprinting/running fast on the straightaways. We then hit the football field and did some suicides (to the 10, 20, 30, 40 and then a full 100). After that joy, we did a quarter pounder of 25 merkins at the 25, 50 heals to heaven at the 50, then 75 squats and 100 SSH, bernies back to the goal line after each.
And then we went crazy and ran a lap the other direction and then did 5 burpees. Then more two laps the “wrong” way, sprinting the straightaways. Then for shits and giggles we did two 100 yard sprints.
After catching our breath, we moseying to the tennis courts and did 4 corners of 25 HRM, 25 wide merkins, 25 jump squats and 25 two count hammers.
After a mosey back to the start, we hit 3 miles and closed out.
The Bridge this weekend–reach out to Bootleg for carpool instructions. Great to have Wild Thing joining us from York, PA.
Thanks for letting me lead.

Flo State
Twelve of Short Pump and Goochland’s greatest were in the zone, or at least tried to be, this Wednesday morning.
We ran to a closed Wells Fargo for warmups. We only go when closed so they don’t open accounts for us without permission. Warmups included Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, DQ and Merkins. We then continued West searching for that flo state.
Soon we were at the Progressive building and did a triple check of Flutters, Lieutenant Dans and the timer/runner doing ten Outlaws at the next light poll and running back. Everyone went with the FLO.
We then ran, no yogging was involved, to the new 7-11. Its not open yet so we used the Slurpee drive-through lanes to do 7 HRM and 11 WW2s and then 7 WW2s and 11 HRMs.
We then ran to the Nissan dealership and did a burpee at every white car–something like 15 total and headed home. We did a bus loop lap to get us to 3 miles and then a little Mary to end it.
Announcements: Charlotte’s Lake Anna tree house is coming to life this weekend. Pictures coming soon. Lunch next Tuesday at Joey’s hotdogs at noon. The Bridge on 10/25.
Thanks for letting me lead.

Go to routes for some newbies
a little smaller showing today than we have had in a while but double what we were a year ago. Always good to be out on the streets as we worked through the neighborhood past some of our fartsacking brother’s houses. Hmmm should we moon their houses? In the dark probably not worth it. We searched for the Halloween decorations and found one anxious to show off their displays. A fairly regular workout for us, 10 cul de sacs: 10 merkins 15 LBCs in each. Made it back a little early so ran the bus loop, another round of merkins & LBCs, run touch the bus back to flag, 12 round and then 5 burpees just for fun! 3.86 miles covered 120 merkins and 180 LBCs, good work from the pax.
