  • Great morning for a run

    A mix of runners, walkers and ruckers convened for this week’s edition of RAMM. YHC posted the routes the day before but reviewed them once more. Then, off we go.

    4s: https://onthegomap.com/s/bbca4qkj
    5s: https://onthegomap.com/s/a9kdl0qg
    6s: https://onthegomap.com/s/k631stum

    Conditions were ideal for a good run and mumble chatter.

    Announcements – Frozen Triangle tomorrow. See Slack for Details.

    YHC took us out with a paraphrase from Luke Chapter 6 a former Rector of my church said at the end of each service: Do good to those who hate you, lend expecting nothing in return, for the measure you give is the measure you will receive.

  • Immaculate Trails If You Can Find Them

    With never a doubt that the trails would be clean and clear, YHC set off to lead, but was stumped by a fork in the road.  Here’s where the Pax was supposed to go:

    The Route

    • Out the back of Godwin
    • R on Willowick
    • L on Windbluff
    • L on Raintree
    • R on Ridgefield
    • Enter main road into Deep Run Park
    • Bear right on to trail just past the Rec Center
    • Exit trail on Cottrell
    • L on Cedar Knoll
    • L on Cox
    • R on Ridgefield
    • L on Pump
    • Circle behind Godwin
    • Back to SF

    MOLESKIN

    As the A-Team captain Hannibal always said, I love it when a plan comes together.  The plan came together for all but those following YHC.  Doh!  We’ll try again in two months.  YHC dares SOJ to send someone other than Doozy to Q next Friday.  Triple dog dare.  Go Commanders!

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • The Bridge Jan 25 – See Fudd
    • Breaking Bread – ongoing
    • Prayers for Fireman Ed beginning treatment
    • Prayers for Gomer’s team heading to Honduras this week

  • Cold, Icy Morning at First Watch

    Seven stalwarts showed for this week’s edition of First Watch. After looping around the parking lot, we crossed River Rd to the front of River Road Church, Baptist to warm up. Exercises included:

    • SSH
    • Don Quixote
    • Dead Man Hang
    • LBCs
    • Flutter Kicks

    We then moseyed to the back of the church for a 4 corners. 10 Carolina Dry Docks; 20 Squats; 30 LBCs; 40 Monkey Humpers.

    Next, came a triple check. P1 Bernie Sanders to back parking lot entrance; P2 Mike Tyson Merkins; P3 jump squats.

    Then, another 4 corners, this time lady of the night style – after the 2nd corner, run back to first and do the first exercise; stop at 2nd corner for 2nd exercise and then on to third corner, etc. 10 Heels to heaven; 20 Merkins; 30 WWIIs, 40 SSHs.

    Finish with 11s. Hand release merkins (starting at 1), bear crawl across parking aisle, WWIIs (starting at 10), lunge back. The pax was on the downward trend (3 WWIIs and 8 HRMs) when time was called.

    Mosey back to the flag.

    2. Prayers for everyone confronting the ongoing water issues in the City and around the region.

  • Do You Actually Want to Know the Route?

    With no hate, seven gloom warriors hit the mean streets to lay down some miles.  Here’s where:

    The Route

    • R on Pump
    • L on Sunrise
    • L on Waterford
    • L on Church
    • R on Pump
    • R on John Rolfe (or take Pump back)
    • L on Glen Eagles
    • L on Old Prescott
    • Back to SF

    Numberama, Nameorama, COT

    MOLESKIN

    Not wanting to run out and back on Pump, YHC grabbed the Q and only called the out part.  With Mr. Rogers rudely not inviting anyone to Hawaii and Lulu in the clink, no furry friends accompanied us today.  Route was not a new one, but maybe new to some.  UpChuck has visited Curahee 3 of 4 weeks.  He seems smitten.  Or maybe Dunkin has better coffee, despite the lack of proper app functionality.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • The Bridge Jan 25 – See Fudd
    • Breaking Bread – ongoing

  • Knock Before Entering

    Seven men and two canines set out to find one new street in WestHoe.  Results: Negative?

    Here’s where:

    • L on Pump
    • L on Sancrest
    • R on Windingridge to the end
    • Reverso on Windingridge to Hickoryridge
    • Cross Falconbridge onto Cedar Chase
    • L on Buttonwood
    • R on Falconbridge
    • L on Raintree
    • L on Ridgefield
    • L on Pump
    • Finish around Godwin
    • Back to SF

    MOLESKIN

    The run started with a discussion of obscure rules in football.  Whitesnickerdoodle is just glad we won.  As we reverso’d on Windingridge we passed the house of one of Mr. Rogers’s stepson’s old girlfriends.  He told a story of an unauthorized closed door and the subsequent walk of shame.  Ask him about it, I’m sure he’s happy to re-tell it.  At coffee, UpChuck namedropped the wrong name, but the moral of the story was the Beatles may not be the Beatles.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • Pigskin raising money for medical mission
    • Lifting up all the PAX and relatives with medical issues
    • Big day at DogPile tomorrow – come to find out

  • 4 Corners on Repeat

    Four regulars showed up for this week’s edition of Hoedown. No one had signed up for the queue but someone had put down “hawt potato” which the PAX seemed to think meant Handshake would be joining. At 0530 with no sign of Handshake, the PAX set off for what would be a hot potato.

    We moseyed to the Third Church parking lot across from the school where 1-800 lead warm up that included SSHs, DQs, Dead Man Hang, Arm Circles, Merkins, LBCs.

    We then moseyed behind the church over to the lot between the church and office buildings. 1-800 called a Four Corners: 10 jump squats, 20 carolina dry docks, 30 monkey humpers, 40 2-count american hammers. Oyster then called a reverso.

    EF Hutton took the queue and we moseyed back to the school and around the back to the upper field. We had a quick interlude of three rounds of a PAX member doing pulling ups while the rest held plank. Being popular today and the PAX wanting to keep together, another Four Corners. 10 HR Merkins, 20 Imperial Squats, 30 WWIIs, 40 SSHs. Then, reverso, but freddie mercuries instead of WWIIs.

    Marv took over and led us down to the black top for another Four Corners. 5 burpees, 20 LBCs, 30 APBs, 40 SSHs. Reverso, but bear crawl the shorts, swap LBCs for American Hammers and APBs for Hello Dollies..

    Mosey down the drop off circle with a stop for 10 jerkins. 20 donkey kicks on the wall, then back up for 10 more jerkins and return for a final 20 donkey kicks.

    Mosey back to the flag for a quick round of mary.

    Marv took us out.

  • Papa Caliente y Viento Frio

    Five hombres guapos found their way to Mary for a hot potato Q. The slightly higher temp was counteracted by a very cold and strong wind, making this potato slightly less warm. All 5 of us managed to hold the potato, even for a couple of minutes. Here’s what happened:

    Bodos: COP on the black top, then 7 of diamonds: 7 rounds of 4 corner excercises in increments of 7. Rounds were: 7 jump squats / 14 merkins / 21 LBCs / 28 Squats / 21 Carolina dry docks / 14 2x flutter kicks / 7 Burpees. Potato passed to Swirly

    Swirly: 20 Dips, Sprint, 20 Incline Merkins, Sprint, 3 rounds of 5 Pull ups. Pass to Oyster

    Oyster: Bear crawl back and forth a few times. Broad jump burpees, other stuff I can’t remember

    Vandalay: Back to the chin up bar. 3 rounds of 5 pull ups + 3 rounds of 5 dips.

    Senor Frog: COP – merkins

    Namerama, YHC took us out.

    NMS: Vandalay shared about an FNG who reported that he wouldn’t come back to F3 because the Pax he was with were cheating on their form and not performing full proper squats. This made Swirly very upset and we had to console him and promise him we would never let this happen again. Our form was excellent this morning.

    SYITG.

  • Bro-Code Black Friday

    On this nice and chilly post Thanksgiving day 4 regulars + Wally assembled at Godwin High School for another Bro-Code run. We opted for the typical bro-code route:

    Right on Pump up to Church Rd. – back to last
    Left on Church up to Copperas Ln. – back to last
    Left on Ridgefield Pkwy. up to intersection with John Rolfe Pkwy. – back to last
    Continue on Ridgefield to Glen Eagles Dr. – back to last
    Right on Glen Eagles, left on Old Prescott Rd. and all the way back to Godwin.

    Numbers, Names and Mr. Rogers took us out.
    Great run, great company and 2nd F after at Dunkin’s.
