With Q1 complete, an Backblast audit was needed to ensure we could file the WaThoHuk 10-Q. A couple discrepancies were found.
This one involved a T.A.C.O. workout at the opening day of Torchy’s Tacos. We first ran to the Torchy parking lot across Broad. Some teenage kids were already in line for free Queso and joined us for a bit. We did four corners with four exercises that spelled TACO. You’ll have to ask Roger Roger what they were.

We then ran to the West Broad Village pond and met up with Pigskin. I took us up on a hill and we did sevens of some sort and got damp.

We then ran back to the flag. 3.3 miles total.

Great morning for a run focused bootcamp.

Four showed up this cold clear morning to take on this great AO. 3 of us ran a little over 3 miles and also did 7’s with burpees and merkins, a Quarter Pounder with merkins, LBCs, Squats and SSH and 2/3 of a triple check of WWIIs, Flutters and some more running. Pigskin got over a mile and a half in before doing laps around the school with stations of merkins and dips.

It was cold but a gorgeous morning and the exercises looking up at the sky were the best.

This was my first AO in a week with the Bear Creek trail race in the middle. And I felt it. Thankfully, my shoes were dry by this morning.

Announcements:

RVA Bluegrass Jam is on 4/22. Proceeds go to the Richmond Fisher House and Veteran Liberation Services. I will post more details in 3rd F channel. Volunteers are needed.

Prayers for Gypsy as he works to get his farm going. The Barn is the next step and rumor is it will be called the Clinic.

Almost full moon and pretty bright, very nice. Continuing Heart Break Ridge trend, attendance was pretty low, White Snake and YHC. Since White Snake is preparing for Bear Creek run, YHC suggested just a run. After a short discussion, the suggestion was approved. We ran to the end of Three Chopt, then came back on Broad Street, went around the lake and came back to the flag. That gave us four miles and 35 minutes. We got the last mile on the track, though White Snake slacked off a bit complaining about his overworked legs. Given his difficulties with five miles, both of us wondered how is he going to do ten miles of Bear Creek. Still, it is great that he has determination to do it. Best of luck!

We had a guest from F3 Blueridge, Inbox, and we took him on a tour of Short Pump Park. Pigskin stayed behind and worked his butt off while circling the school.

After a 3/4 mile run and a short warm-up, we did a modified Cooper. Three exercises in a row, then a run around the path (about 150 meters) then repeat. Start with ten reps of each exercise, then 9, then 8, etc. The three exercises were Burpees, Squats and Merkins. Gets the heart rate up good for twenty minutes.

We then did a triple check with WWI, WWII and a timer running around the pavilion.

Then we smelled the dog urine. I preferred the fruit loops smell from Spider run.

Then we ran a mile+ back to the flag.

Total of 3.1 miles, a good work out and piss. You’re welcome.

Six showed up today early morning. A day before, YHC asked if anyone wanted to Q, no one replied, so by default had to do it himself. We did our usual culdesac run with 10 Burpees and 20 Heels to Heavens on one side (six culdesacs) and 15 Hand-Release Merkins and 60 LBCs on the way back (four more). Overall distance is 3.5 miles. Finished almost on time. Pigskin did his usual walk around the School with 200 Merkings and 200 Dips. Great morning!

Five warriors, either 50+ or feeling 50+ felt reborn this morning. Did they hit GNC for some Nugenix? Was it a post Valentine’s day buzz? Or was it running 3.3 miles, stopping every ~.5 miles to do 20 of an ab exercise and 10 burpees? You have to show up to know.

But as a special Slack offer, WaThohuk is offering a complimentary two-week sample of its AO to viewers who text in the special promo code “DoyourwriteupsRogerRoger” to his cell. Plus, as an added bonus, customers can also receive a free sample bottle of Currahee weight loss supplement with their order.

Act now!

6 faithful entered the cold rainy gloom to push each other once again. As we gathered in the rain the mumble chatter was I wasn’t sure anyone would be here but yet we had strong numbers for our WTH band of brothers. 1 week to my respect day and I led the charge through the cold.

The Thang: Head out towards west broad village stop at a familiar spot to do some warms ups 3/4 mile into the run. 10 Imperial walkers, 11 Ukrainian solders…its raining lets go. Mosey to parking decks for the work: Start for climb stop at each level Merkins: 10, run to next 15, run to next 20, run to next 25, finish the final open climb to top 10 Burpees. Head back down to base stop at the levels and in reverse 25, 20, 15, 10 American hammers back to start. 2nd climb to top was squats on way up at each level 10, 15, 20, 25 and 10 burpee chaser at top. Back down with American hammers again descending 25 to 10. Mosey out of parking deck to head to gazebo, all are please to see rain dying off. At gazebo 3 sets of 15 dips and 15 merkins, once done 25 american hammers and 25 LBCs. Head out to flag long way around lake. Finish up just in time. 3.57 miles covered in total for run. Good workout 36 degrees wasnt so cold after all. Closed in prayer and thanks given to Tator for pulling me into F3 nation 3 years ago this week. I used to tease him I wasnt going to go to Zumba to workout, id stick with running. First time at GridIron i quickly learned this was not Zumba and have been hooked every since! Love the brotherhood and friendships formed.

For a litany of reasons, had been a while since YHC had 1) posted 2) Q’d. A late night group text from Lighthouse asking for a Q and I decided to take the reigns. Having given no thought to a gameplan, I decided to reheat a workout I Q’d at WTH back in July. Here’s what we did:

• Head out from the AO and run to Windsor Place/Thamesford Way neighborhood
• Halt at the small cul-de-sac right off Thamesford for the disclaimer and a brief warm up
• We then headed to the parking lot at Church Run Community Pool for Elevens, consisting of squat jumps and merkins
• After Elevens, caught our breath with a smattering of Mary exercises
• Departed the parking lot, back to the cul-de-sac for 6-count burpees
• Continued the run, back across Three Chopt, around the lake to the gazebo for dips/derkins
• Run back to the shovel flag for CoT
• 3.5 to 3.6 miles depending on who’s watch you looked at

No announcements or prayer requests. Appreciate the opportunity to lead!

This is how you do it
It’s after Tuesday night, and I feel alright
The party is here on the West Side
So I reach for my 40 yr old friends and we run it up
Designated runner, hide the keys to my truck
Go back to the Poca’ cause I’m faded
Honies in the street say, “Whitesnake, yo, we made it!”
It feels so good in my hood tonight
Run a double quarter pounder with the guys in Kani
All the other gangbangers forgot about the AO drive-by
You gotta get your shuttle runs in, before you go get paid
So tip up your cup, do an indian run
And let me hear the Pax say

I’m kinda tired after 3.1 miles (This is how you do it)
Three Chopt does it like nobody does (This is how you do it)
To all my neighbors, you got much flavor (This is how you do it)
Brick and Roger Roger, bring the old school writeup back (this is how we do it)
