18 icicles decided to defrost their toes and warm their hearts collectively in celebration of YHC and HoneyDo’s birthdays at today’s edition of The Dogpile. Temperatures were an unseasonably warm sunny and 70. According to the toll operators on the Nickel Bridge, something like this happened:
10 Burpees to warm our souls.
Split the Q today to spread the birthday love.
HoneyDo Q (birthday mañana):
Quick COP
Warma Dora 60/120/180 of burp ups, merkins, and the tiniest of baby crunches.
Coupon-a-ram-a: 80 presses along with murder bunnies across the field.
3 sets of 15 pullovers
10 sit and press
Partner-up: 2 rounds of wheelbarrows and 3 sets of partner leg tosses.
Quick visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Triple Check
BTTF
UpChuck Q (birthday yesterday):
Mosey towards the river, find a patch of grass (or rocks, Swirly), and circle up.

Mosey to the Nickel Bridge and perform a Burpee Bridge:

Run from home to first, perform 10 reps of the exercise. Return to home for one burpee.
Run from home to first, perform 10 reps, then move onto second base for 20 reps, then back to first for 10 and then back home for the single burpee. Continue building/reversing up to 30 reps at 3rd base and then up to 40 reps at home.
First base: 10 mercans
Second base: 20 WWIIs
Third base: 30 Rosalitas

Number-am-a, Name-a-ram-a, YHC took us out.
Announcements:
January 1, Carlos Santana’s Hill in Chesterfield/Powhatan/Amelia/Roanoke at 07:00. Roll down the windows and Clown Car with your pals.
Nurses are busy these days. Let’s keep them in our thoughts, and let’s do our part to keep each other healthy.
Two quotes from today’s workout:
“Last week was a 5 alarm emergency.”
“This is definitely not a hoax.”
NMS:
YHC was pretty fired up today after the workout. Lots of “that was a hard Q” from both groups. YHC confesses that he’s not sorry to have missed a Silent Assassin Q. YHC dislikes murder bunnies.
YHC has wanted to visit Burpee Bridge for some time, so a modest sized group at Dogpile offered a nice return to an old favorite. Probation crushed the uphill. Nice work.
YHC had a quick chat with Vinny yesterday, which reminded YHC of the 4-bagger. Like a good eggnog, a good Prostitute warms the heart and the toes on a chilly morning.
Happy birthday to HoneyDo.
YHC thanks Swirly for reminding YHC that having a birthday means getting one year older. YHC promises to practice saying “Tim Nee, UpChuck, 48.”
UpChuck spits the bit.

Nice work today, gentlemen. Thanks for letting me lead.
Thanks for the Q share Upchuck. You still move like a 47 year old! Smaller group allowed us to share more, like finding out the opposite of the Pull n’ Pray birth control method…
Opposite?
Hmm
Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh no???
(Bonus points for artist ref and year… Without peaking at the Google) Bong thugz already DQ as this was the Thomas Stone HS theme song.
Nice Q UC and HBD.
Highlight of the day for me
A chick with a loud raspy voice should not name her rambunctious & exploratory canine something that rhymes with Kelp or Grape. And then go unleashed. Around cyclists
The brief interlude was responsible for raising all the Alpha’s ( that’s all of us of course) blood temp back out of the languid sludge range.
Gitty up
For that ever-so-brief moment, we all thought it was our chance to be the Cavalry in a western movie.
It would have been ugly – great Q good times.
