Pocahontas Middle School
My first QIC, so patience is appreciated on this post and workout. We ran to Short Pump Park for warm ups, briefly got lost, and did 11’s at the Nissan dealership (burpee’s & squats). Then we ran to West Broad Village for tricep dips and murkins in the median. One lap around the WBV pond and back home for a total 3.8 miles and 1 minute late…
Seven gathered this morning for a mix of running and boot camp. As usual, Pigskin stayed back to loop around the school, but this time he had Attila joining him for some company. Meanwhile, the rest of us hit the cul-de-sacs, cranking out 15 Hand-Release Merkins and 30 Freddies at every stop. Ended up covering 3.8 miles. If the rumor mill is correct, this was Attila’s first time at WTH. And we might have convinced Gaudi to step up for his VQ next time. Good work by all!
On the eve of his ten year anniversary (according to Big Data), Attila (aka Groh) made his first appearance at WTH. Even Centrum Silver, our guest from Roanoke, was here for his second time! Attila and Pigskin went off in the dark to work on their grips while the rest of us went for a 3 mile run that included Short Pump park, some warmups and then a couple triple checks (Step Ups, Dips, Lap: Balls to the Wall, Incline Merkins, Reverse Lap). We then went back to the start and lapped the school to get to 3 miles. On…
5 brave souls showed up, ready for some running. While Pigskin stayed dedicated to his school loops, the rest of us ventured over to Geese Lake. After a quick warm-up, we began our circuit around the lake. At every loop, we stopped for 20 Derkins, 20 Freddies, and 20 Squats. Popular demand kicked in by the second loop, with HYC adding 20 Dips to the mix. Four loops around the lake later, we made our way back to the flag for a final round of bus loop laps. We closed with thoughts and prayers for the health and well-being of…
Five gathered for a Wednesday run and bootcamp interwind all together in the cool October air. Our hero Pigskin gave blood this week and decided he would take it easy and stay watch over the flag while the remaining four took off in the dark. Here is the thang: Mosey towards West Broad Village, stop after half mile for warm up. Circle up, disclaimers, and 10 SSH, 10 Don Q’s, 20 LBCs, 10 Merkins. Mosey to the parking deck. two rounds of up and back. start with 5 burpees, at eack platform, 10 merkins to the top. At the top,…
Four Horsemen Pestilence, War, Famine and Death are the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Today, Pinto, Whitesnake, Lighthouse and Pigskin, the 4 Horsemen of WaThoHuk, invaded Whitesnake’s neighborhood. Unfortunately, the neighborhood’s sprinklers were on and there were scary Halloween decorations including a 12-foot tall Skeleton. So instead of bringing the Apocalypse, we brought 15 Merkins and 15 Freddy Mercurys to each Cul de Sac. That kept the sprinklers in their place, although they did threaten us by spitting streams of water to keep us off the lawns. Having laid waste to the Cul de Sacs, we left the neighborhood and returned…
A beautiful morning at WTH, the best 5:30am Wednesday workout in Westhoe. According to all the ATM machines we ran by, we did something like the following: Ran to the Wells Fargo at Pump and Three Chopt. Did some warmups in the parking lot that I was able to block off with cones and some ride from the State Fair. We then ran to the parking lot off Westgate for 11s of merkins and jump squats. We needed help counting and having German on one end and Spanish on the other did not do the trick. We then headed to…
7 brave brothers showed up in the gloom to do the work this morning, One downrange F3 brother from Charlotte area, Two Timer, We always enjoy seeing new brothers. Hers what went down. We headed out from flag towards pump to a spot that we have only hit once before, Three Notch town homes for some 11’s. YHC didnt remember how long the road was and after 30 mins we had only completed 5 rounds of Merkins and Jump squats while covering 2.6 miles already. Recognizing time was a problem and distance two great we switched to a triple check…
It was a dark and misty morning, but that didn’t deter five brothers from showing up, ready to tackle a mix of bootcamp and running. The day began with a run down Three Chopt Road, the mist adding an eerie charm to the usual gloom. Despite the conditions, we managed to cover a solid 3.6 miles over the course of the workout. Once we reached the end of the road, we jumped right into the first triple check. Hand Release Merkins, LBCs, and some running. With that in the books, we moved on to the second triple check. This time,…
Today was (Alice) Cooper day. I warned the Pax that today would suck and I delivered! School is no longer Out for Summer which means cooler weather which was welcomed. We first ran to the Gazebo and did warmups of IW, Ukrainian Soldiers, DQ, LBCs and Merkins. Then we ran past the Golf Galaxy and deep into the bowels of the newest West Broad Village development. As if we were Caught in a Dream. Here is where we did a running version of the Cooper-Welcome to My Nightmare: 10 Burpees, 10 Squats, 10 Merkins and then a lap around a…
