  • We got Visitors

    2 visitors and 5 regulars showed up for WDOG this morning and here is how it want down. 1 visitor twinkle toes from Omaha ran the park the other Stewy from DC joined the rest of us for some track work. Exercises at each obstacle – 10 merkins 10 squats 2 laps = 220 merkins 220 squats and 2 miles.

    Great work everyone – it was nice to have some visitors and some other pax join us this morning – let’s keep that up – enjoyed it fella’s, beautiful morning and great way to start the day. It took the whole pax to keep us straight on which exercise we were on but we did it!!

  • Dusty

    We need us a little rain in RVA that track is dusty! Two of us dudes hit WDOG this morning and attacked the vita track. Exercises at each obstacle – merkins and squats 220 each – two laps around the track. We both came off the track covered in dust and ready to crush the day ahead. Great work BT – enjoyed it brother, nothing like a good workout to get the blood pumping, good conversation, mixed in with a bit of laughter – the mumble chatter was alive and kicking this morning – love it!

  • Track Work

    2 dudes showed up at WDOG this morning and made it happen. We rolled over to the vita track and at each obstacle did 10 merkins and 10 squats – couple times around the track for 200 plus merks and squats.

    Way to work BT – beautiful morning and fantastic way to start the day ! See ya in the gloom brother!

  • Track work

    2 strong posted at WDOG this morning for some track work which included some brisk walk and jog couple times around the track with a total of 220 merkins and 220 squats. Was a beautiful cool morning – enjoyed it BT – great work!

  • No Fools at WDog, just old dudes

    2 well-seasoned, creaky-jointed old dudes descended upon WDog on a Beautiful April Fools Day in a quest back to full F3 glory. Here’s the simple but exciting recap.

    COP:

    Simple stretching to keep the pain away.

    Thang:

    Vita Trail loops with stops at each station for alternating exercises. AMLapsAP.

    • 10 merks
    • 10 squats

    Total of 120 merkins, 120 squats and 2.5 miles covered. BTVSF.

    COT:

    Thankful for the beautiful day and excited for the journey back to bootcamping with the boys.

    NMS:

    BT has gradually been getting back into the mix and after posting last week after a long hiatus for Senor Frog’s squat-fest was looking forward to catching up with Swirly and doing something more than walking. Both initiatives achieved. Even got some sweat going with the warm temps.

    – BT

  • 30 miles a week!

    3 HIMs emerged from the gloom this morning for a beat down. YHC is thankful that fartsack did not win this morning like it did last week!

    Although YHC had a whole work-out planned, another HIM requested to Q today.

    According to the broken light post on the lake, here’s what went down:

    Mosey down to the lake for COP

    Dead man hang

    Helicopters

    Imperial Walkers

    Merkins

    Light post roullette: at each light post, do 3 merkins, 3 WW2s, 5 squats. YHC did not count the light posts, unfortunately.

    Take the long route to mosey back to the flag.

    Hitchhiker has a new year resolution to run 30 miles per week, so this Q helped achieve his goal for this week. Glad to hear that Fireman Ed is making progress in weight gain in his remission recovery! Other mumble chatter included portadash app, the sketchy neighborhoods in southside, and reminiscing on Suntrust employment and nearby restaurants.

    Annoucements:

    • Bridge – Jan 24
    • Frozen Triangle with Ruck option

  • Empty Void at WDog

    A group of me, myself, and I met to get some work done in a cold and dark park.

    Mosey over to the first circle to do a COP. SSH’s, Merkins, LBC’s, Squats, Hairy Rockettes, Helicopters, etc.

    Mosey down to the bottom of the Amphitheater and complete 5 Incline Merkins and 5 Crunchy Frogs on each step. About 5-6 steps up out of nowhere an all-black Dog (maybe a Lab?) runs into the back of the Theater and down to the Concrete bottom and starts barking and growling at me, this was where YHC thought I was either going to meet Jesus or murder a dog. Luckily a few seconds later his owner whistled and the turned and left. YHC continued his way up, luckily the adrenaline provided extra motivation.

    Finish and mosey over to Carillon. Run up the right steps of the Carillon and run around the back and down, complete 10 times.

    Go to the base of the Carillon and complete 30 HRM’s, 30 WWII’s, 30 Carolina Dry Docks, 30 2-Count Flutters, 30 Merkins, 30 Alabama Prom Dates. Midway through a Police Officer rolls up to the Circle and stops and shines his searchlight on YHC while doing Prom Dates. YHC’s thighs likely looked extremely creamy and white with bring light.

    Mosey back to the Flag and complete various other exercises. 2 minutes left so YHC ran over to the Porta John by the Dogpark and back.

    Announcements – New Years Day Convergence tomorrow morning at 0700.

    Prayer Requests – Continued Prayers for Charlotte, Wildcat, Fireman Ed (hallelujah), Fudd’s Sister, and unknown others.

    NMS – Me, Myself, and I had a good time in the park this morning. We completed a lot more exercises than we thought we’d do when there was no other Pax in sight

  • Black Ice!

    4 HIMs conquered the allure of the fartsack this cold wet morning. 2 HIMs wanted to do a joint-friendly walk, and the other two wanted a beat down. According to the patches of black ice by the carillion, here’s what went down:

    We ran towards the circle, and ran around once before heading to the brick/concrete areas.

    COP: Helicopters, arm circles (forwards/backwards), imperial walkers, ukrainian soldiers, copperhead squats, merkin, flutter kicks.

    Run two circles in the concrete area,

    Up incline merkins 10, dips 10, down incline merkins 10

    WWIIs, American Hammers

    Then we did a series of Back/chest/abs cycles:

    — superman, hand-release merkins, freddie mercury

    — angels/demons, merkins, V-ups

    Ran 2 circles around concrete.

    Ran up to tower, jumped up and down steps 10 times, followed by a series of balls to the wall and squats.

    Ran down to the concourse, and circled twice.

    Broga-lite: downward facing dog, upward facing dog.

    Some leg stretches.

    Joined back with the walkers, numerama, namerama.

    Hitchhiker took us out.

    Chatter included topics of YHC’s new siding business, Hitchhiker’s new app, as well as our childhood experience with parents who tried to power-guide our growth/development/education.

    Hoping for more WDog-ers in the next few weeks! 🙂

  • Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

    Two PAX arrived on this wet day. YHC was 1-min late, so the other PAX had already left to do his own circuit. According to the street lamp that went out at 5:40am, here’s what happened by the amphitheater:

    COP: Helicopter, arm circles (forwards and backwards), Ukranian soldiers, Imperial walkers, Copperhead squats.

    Merkins x35, Superman x 1min

    Cue music-driven ab excercises – flutter kicks, freddie mercury, LBCs

    Algore for 1 minute

    Arm lifts with traffic cone x 3 sets

    Bear crawl + SSH through half of the traffic circle

    Mosey to stage – 3 sets of BTTW, merkins, and belly-down starfish

    Mosey to Cage – 15 pull-ups and 10 Jerkins

    Mosey back to the field – 20 squats, 15 hand-release merkins, 30 merkins

    Both PAX reconvened at the field for some fellowship, and YHC took us out, asking the Lord to help us remember his love for today.

  • Full moon + Dora =

    Three brave souls dared to conquer their weak bodies at 530am in the light of the bright full moon. According to the stones on the ground where the portajohns used to lie, here’s what went down:

    COP

    helicopter

    arm circles

    imperial walkers

    Ukrainian soldiers

    dead man hang

    copperhead squats

    Merkins and Back’ens:

    merkin

    superman

    close arm merkin

    phelps out of water

    hand release merkin

    Starfish stretch

    Mosey to tower, where we encountered the Dora curse. Dora turned us in to bears, and we have to complete 350 ab exercises (she later increased it to 400 😲)

    dora curse

    400 ab exercises while partner bear crawls to top, touch tower, run down

    After breaking Dora’s curse, we moseyed to Logland for some lumberjack training.

    log carry x12 x2 rounds

    log lifts x12 x 2 rounds

    Plank as you wait for your turn

    Moseyed back to the field but was stopped briefly when we turned into bears again, having to bear crawl around the roundabout, before heading back to the field with some lunges and ending with 2 minutes of overhead clapping to celebrate our victory from the bear curse.

    COT: numerama, namerama

    Florence came out of his cop mobile to say hi to us. We’re glad to hear that he is doing good work to restore peace in our city. He says that he misses F3 but hopes to make it out one day and also encourage others to join too.

    YHC took us out. Glad to have Senka out again from NC!
