Last night, HoneyDo made the sudden realization that Qing with the possibility of dealing with Kidney Stones may have been slightly more than he was willing to take on for a cool crisp Saturday Morning, Swirly and Bleeder stepped up for a little Hot Potato Q. HoneyDo hope you feel better soon!
As Swirly hit the First COP, Fire Engines Lights and Sirens were seen and heard coming around the corner. Hardywood thought the F3 workout was going to make a serious change as we all looked for a burning building in the adjacent neighborhood; but it appeared to be a false alarm: however, no one informed the Driver of Mini Van coming up the hill at HROS(high rate of speed), THE PAX ,standing directly in the middle of the road, went into evasive manuevers. THE PAX was preparing for the First Polar Bear Experience of the Day. The Fine folks at the Richmond Fire Dept would have been proud of Swirly, with out missing a beat, Swirly quickly added to his directions of the Polar Bear intervals, If you hear that sound “STOP, DROP & ROLL!” Being the Q means, adapting to the situation, THE PAX is relying on the Q to make clearly executed commands. Way to make it happen Swirly!
As Bleeder took the Q, continuing to Bear Crawl came as little surprise to many PAX members. Flipper stayed bear crawl step for bear Crawl step with Bleeder. Way to Push it Flip!
The Modified Beast gave THE PAX an opportunity to keep up with the Merkin Challenge this month, Grand total of 340 merkins during the workout, if you were Keeping track. Lost and Found commented to Swirly that coming back in November may not have been the best idea. Wilson prematurely jumped on the Beast(a common problem with age) Wilson was able to maintain going early throughout the multiple intervals of the Beast.
With a brief Preamble about what it means to be the Q, Bleeder handed off to Circle K to take the lead. Circle K did not disappoint. Moseying to the VITA Track for some running and core work.
Welcome to Mulder! Hardywood’s introduction, which seemed to go on so long, SAAB finished another 100 mile race, Swirly completed all of his Merkins for the entire Month, and Bleeder re-injured his knee, had surgery and completed Rehab before Hardywood finished his suggested names for the FNG, none of which seem to garner any enthusiasm from the PAX. Note to self, Add Lamborghini and Vanilla Ice CD to Hardywood’s Christmas list.
Post Workout – Cofferteria – Ellewoods Thompson’s
Wilson, Hardywood, Swirly, Flipper and Bleeder were joined by TYA for a fine breakfast, “Best deal on Bacon in town” With the discussion about Merkins,LugNut’s ankle virus Pine Cone battle, and the progress on Wilson’s new house made the morning that much more entertaining.

Way to hit today guys, Welcome Mulder! Great job Swirly and Circle K!
Great BB – Bleeder !
Best wishes Honeydo – hope you are feeling better buddy ..
Good work this morning pax – what a beautiful morning for a beatdown …
Many thanks to Bleeder and Circle K for the hot potato ..
Excellent time @ ET’s as always .
That is how a bb should be done.
Hard to imagine Hardywood doing anything without generating enthusiasm though.
Nice hot potato Q! That run around VITA did me in and my right knee agrees #runningsucks. Driving home today from ET’s I was thinking of how great F3 had been in my life. Thanks to all the fellas that make me laugh, listen to my many issues and of course my premature jumping. Thanks!
I think that my grammar was wrong. “How great F3 HAS been in my life.” Ih well. Another issue.
^Oh
Great Q gentlemen way to make Neckbace’s first DogPile a good ! I thoroughly enjoyed the BB!
Thanks for covering the Q guys. Stone has passed, soreness is subsiding. Only problem is Doc says no Donkey Kicks for at least a month!
Premature…jumping?!…ok, whew.
While Saab was considering to keep it unofficial (you-against-you as they say), witnessing Swirly continue to complete each workout with a number of Merkins that would make Jack LaLanne wince, prompted him to finally entered his name into the spreadsheet.
Bleeder with his booming-voice had me shaking as he took over the Q. For a moment I questioned whether he was chafing from third-party undergarments, but quickly realized he was intent on everyone getting a jump start on the November challenge…I was smoked man.
Thanks Circle K for incorporating a workout that DID NOT involve Merkings…although if we had, I think we would have been done for the month.
Regret missing ET and TYA sighting, but on the bright side, but the reason for absence has secured me for availability on future Saturdays…see you in the post-gloom guys!
Wilson…S$@! Box Lives!
Saab out
Glad it passed and you are well. Throw it in a pickle jar dude…
Great BB Bleeder. I think we have finished the 5000 monthly challenge as the Fire Trucks rolled up this morning. Great work by all the PAX and a great way to start the weekend.
