BTTF for 3.0 miles at exactly at 6:15.

YHC took us out. Prayers for tough work decisions.

NMS – At one point YHC was choosing exercises to make sure we would finish on time. Had to add the dog leg at the end to make the distance goal and avoid running the bus loop (monotonous).  This is one that YHC still feels.  

Its tough to make the running and time goals and not have to double back – and this was a lot of fun!  YHC is glad that worked out so well.

Get some!

Just Lighthouse and me today. We started left out of the parking lot towards the ‘goose lake loop’ but turned up before the lake to go to the parking deck at Dave and Buster’s. We generally did the following; run up one ramp and one flat level. Stop and do an ab exercise. Then repeat until we got to the top and do the same on the way back down. We went up and down the parking deck 3 or 4 times and then headed back. I took the shorter way back, over to John Rolfe and then 3 Chopt. Lighthouse took the longer way back, around the lake. We both got over 3 miles. Lighthouse ran about 3.7 miles and I ran about 3.2 miles.

Lets keep it simple, Run 1 mile, 20 Merkins, 20 WW2s, run another mile repeat Merkins and WW2s, head back to flag, stop each mile. because 100 is better we added the last set at finish. 4 miles completed and 100 Merkins, 100 WW2s. Whitesnake has been out with back issues and unfortunately after this workout had to take some more R&R.

Thanks to the Pax for bearing with me as I tried to Q a running boot camp.

On our jog to the parking deck, we stopped for some stretching. Then at the parking deck it was increasing 5 Merkins for every level, alternating a mosey or a Bernie Sanders between parking levels. When we go to 30 Merkins it was time to come down, so we did 20 Ab exercises at each of the 6 stops, alternating a mosey or Bernie Sanders between levels.

Jogged to pavilion for a mini Lindsey of Dips and Derkins. Another jog around the lake with some stretching along the way. Back to school for 20 Pole Smokers, 20 Boxing Cockroaches, and a long Bear Crawl. Ended with 10 Burpees…just because.

Overall, 3 total miles and a bunch of arms and abs wasn’t too bad.

As has become more of a trend, it had been a while since YHC’s last Q. A Tuesday evening group text from Lighthouse asking for a Q came through yet again and YHC raised his hand. Here’s what we did:

Decided to draft on Gypsy’s parking deck workout from a week prior and return to the scene of a Gypsy beat down so that we could perform a favorite of mine, the Paula Abdul. Travel up 2 levels of a parking deck, back down 1 and so on and so forth. I always turn these into a bit of an escalator as well, adding an exercise on each ascent/descent.

We performed a perfunctory warm up after our jog to the deck – SSH, Imperial Walkers, Arm circles, and then commenced the workout.

Run up two levels to perform either an upper/lower body exercise, run down 1 level for some core work. We rinsed and repeated this all the way to the top, adding 1 additional exercise with each stop (classic escalator).

Appreciate the opportunity to lead.

Hi all.. hope all is well. My ego is still recovering fron another WTH beatdown. Every once in a while you have to break out an old beatdown that sucked.. Welp.. the WTH parking deck is just such an occasion. It’s super simple on paper but not in execution.

4 pax joined in.. disclaimers given and off we go.

Mosey from AO at Pocahontas Middle school to Short Pump Back St 4 story parking deck.

COP: some SSH, some IW, some windmills

The Thang: The Parking Deck (WIB)

Do 20 of call exercise at top of each ramp and the flat turn until you get to top then run to bottom and circle back for the 6. Do 3 times with different exercises.

called exercise: Round one Merkins.. Round 2 WW2.. Round 3.. Jump Squats.

Run back to AO.

Over all its 3.5 miles, 120 merkins, 120 WW2, 120 Jump Squats. … oh dang. I just had a hell of an idea thinking of my my buddy Attila Gridiron workout.. next WTH parking deck will be compounding.. OUCH!. YUP. it’s gonna happen.

Ok.. I’m done. Have a great day. Love y’all. Call someone you haven’t heard from like Probation or Carmax or Easyride or your long lost uncle.

Until next time. SYITG!!

One last thing… the sun rise from the top of the parking deck at 6am IS AMAZING.

Four mighty mighty redwoods meet to see what was in store for them. This is what went down more or less.

Mosey to the ACAC parking deck. Stopping at each highway or parking sign for 10 squats along the way and 10 ab exercises at each intersection. We lost count but there are a lot of signs.

Ladder up the parking deck with 10 merkins each landing. 1.5 mi at this point. Concerned about timing and distance completed, s0tarted back. 5 min of Mary to wrap it up. We would have had time to ladder down the parking deck – next time.

Pinto took us out.

NMS – not much to discuss today – the PAX were knocking it out. There are a lot of signs.

Five of us ran 3.7 miles today exploring Wellesley. Pyro was downrange from Jax and was amazed by Pigskin. But it was Lighthouse who told the story of getting a Senior discount at Einstein Bagels.

Besides running and warmups, we did sets of LBCs & Heals to Heaven in a culdesac & some sets of dips and incline merkins at the romantic gazebo (no fancy cocktails included).

A little more running than normal and the only complaints were from Blue Moon’s “good” knee.

Nice to have a guest today. Pyro had met some of you but it sounds like it has been a couple years.

Five brave souls showed up on a dark, early, wet morning with bright stars. We did one of the usual culdesacs routs. After a warm-up in the first culdesac, we did 15 Hand-Release Merkins and 30 two-count Flutterkicks on one side and 10 Carolina Dry Docks and 60 LBCs on the other side. Didn’t have time to run around lake, so went directly back to the Flag.

Roger Roger took us to Short Pump Park and Pigskin joined us for the first half. We did a total of 3.1 miles that day. According to my Garmin, it involved something difficult on the SPES football field. I count 1200 yards of running with exercises every 25 yards. Maybe is was a Beast but don’t recall.

We are now ready to file our 10-Q. Highlights include an average 5.1 attendees with a high of 8 and a low of 2. That’s a YoY increase of 18% from last Q1’s 4.3 average.

We had 6 different Q over 12 weeks this year which is great!

Last year we missed 3 backblasts in Q1. That is sad and it is a good thing we hired a new audit firm this year.
