We had 9 of able bodied souls at U of R west (Tuckahoe Elementary) going for a work out on Veteran’s Day. Even though I am not a veteran, I respect the sacrifices those individuals have made to allow us to keep the freedoms that most nations don’t have. Off to the workout:
COP: 34 SSH (in honor of the Jets’ epic 34-27 win over the Giants), 10 DQs, 10 Arm circles, 10 Merkins. Mosey to Bodos’ 3rd parking lot across the way from his church.
First Exercise: Four corners: 10 HRMs, 20 jump squats, 30 monkey humpers and 40 2 count flutter kicks. Follow this up with a burpee with bear crawl per parking space for one side of the lot (~15 burpees)
Second Exercise: Doras with 100 bike rack merkins (BRMs), 200 box jumps, and 300 2 count flutter kicks (I like those flutter kicks).
Third Exercise: Triple check with Donkey kicks, WWIIs, and run to the chin up bar and do 8 chin ups.
Finish with 19 American hammers (not sure why I ended with 19), 34 Freddie Mercuries and 10 arm circles.
Announcements: CSOP on 11/29 at Forest Hill Park. Working off the gluttony of turkey, mashed potatoes by doing some loops. See TYA for details. Gridiron this Saturday 11/16 will NOT be held at its normal location in order to support Blue Moon running the VCU Health Marathon that morning.
Even though I was not on my A game (forgot an exercise, COP cadence a little off and a couple mispronunciations) I am happy to lead this group and I hope everyone takes a few minutes to think about all that our Veterans do for us. Thank you Gomer for your service.

Aren’t Firemen considered Veterans? 🙂
Thanks for your service, Gomer Pyle!
Thanks for taking the reins today, Fireman Ed! A great start to the day. It was great to have our own veteran Gomer Pyle to honor today.
Nice Q Fireman Ed.
In my view the best thing you can do for veterans is to be engaged in our American experiment – whether you approve of the headlines (or the people behind the headlines) or not.
Make it a great one.
Gitty up.
