Fourteen minus one HIM’s (It’s like being on the 14th floor of a hotel….There is no 13th, but you KNOW what floor your on) embraced the morning for a monumentally adequate workout. Keep reading to see what we did:
COP: SSH, IW, DQ, Arm Circles, Hand release merkins, heels to heaven
Rusty Cage: Partner up, complete 50 pullups with your partner.
Proper Dora: Partner up, each team completes 100 proper Dora’s. One partner performs exercises while other partner runs the carillon perimeter. A Dora this morning consisted of 1 WW2 situp, 2 merkins, and 3 jump squats.
Time Killerz: Chicken Peckers on amphitheater stage, then one minute of happy feet on first step.
5 MOM: Freddie Mercury’s, Rosalita’s, Hello Dolly’s, LBC’s (homage to TYA).
30 seconds of merkins
NMS
So first up, let’s call him out: Circle K, where are you?!? He called half the pax last night on the drive home from South Boston Hill saying he was coming, but didnt make it out. The Q was a little nervous running down the road to the COP, knowing his history of bringing it in a little hot. Alas, the pax was safe this morning from the “silver bullet” that skids into AO’s between 0529-0531. Let’s just hope that it was in the name of family, not the other silver bullets that my boy is known to handle loosely that kept him from us this morning.
Now, on to people who did make it out: especially Swiper, that has been on the IR lately with a stress fracture. Glad to have you around again, brother! YHC hopes that you will continue to come out and do what you can with us while you are healing up. AYE!
“Proper Dora” was met with some groans from the pax this morning……whaaaaaa???? YHC developed this “new and improved” take on an old classic when he noted that Dora’s are always way out of whack….if you are the first to run, your partner could plow thru all the merkins before you get an opportunity to even do one. How is a man supposed to get all swolled up when his partner keeps doing all the merkins?!? Proper Dora’s are fair and balanced….seriously, what’s not to love? Of course, it does feel like an extended burpee, but that’s like a bonus, right? An added exercise within an exercise. I mean, your welcome!
Announcements:
-Viral is buying people coffee that will look at his tool….or something like that. See him for details (and pictures).
-45 MOM next week (Turkey Day) will be a special 1 hour workout (0600-0700). Hardywood will be supplying coffee afterwards, so shirts optional. Rumor has it that the workout will be Turkey-Trot-taper friendly.
-Hardywood also has the Q for Breaking Bread next Sunday (after TDay). Anyone that would like to participate, please see him. Unfortunately, shirts required for this event. Or a hair net.
Apology of the week goes to Viral for making fun of his tool. I am sure your tool is very nice, but he is ACTUALLY giving a coffee tour of the Richmond Tool Bank tomorrow morning at 0830. The Tool Bank is located at the Michael and Son building next to 95….see him for details. Insert Bleeder and Sons, or parking will be next to Big Blue joke here….
Lab Rat apologizes…

Damn Swirly! A+ for enthusiasm!
Great Q Lab Rat. You covered a ton of ground today and way to bring it with the chicken peckers. Be super.
Thanks for the shout-out. I feel blessed! My body can feel the time away from posting.
Good to have you back out there Swiper!
While I appreciate the concern for my well being this morning, all is well with Circle K. My absence this morning was nothing more than oversleeping, due to the fact that two weeks of 16 hour days may have finally caught up to me. I will see the F3RVA PAX the next couple of days.
There he is – Circle K baby !
Great Q Lab Rat!
