Upchuck has deets on how to donate to support covax efforts in India. Gomer Pyle previewed the upcoming annual medical mission trip to the Honduras – organized by the Friends of Barnabas Healthcare for Children group. A worthy effort – YHC donated previously and will do so again. Tclaps to Phonics for headlocking a colleague. Have a great Mothers Day tomorrow, gents – let’s show those Ms and Momz in our lives how much we appreciate them. It was a privilege to lead today; you guys crushed a varsity level workout.

Way to work, gents! Señor Garmin sez: distance 1.97 miles, 1,019 kCal, av heart rate 149 bpm and Relative Effort of 34.
Very nicely done today, Doublemint. Varsity level stuff, especially on that Quarter Pounder. Murder Bunnies with Cheese are no bueno; just glad for the nice “fall” temps.
Nice to partner with Opus, Angus, and my old pal, Shakedown. Good to catch up.
Welcome MILF. On Mother’s Day weekend. Oh, man.
Nice Q Doublemint. Good seeing you all and partnering with Mr Rogers and Garbage Plate.
Welcome back OBT.
Welcome MILF. They say the harder beatdowns being folks back. But sometimes tough names are a barrier-we hope not.
Now we need a Hunter.
Gitty up!
Solid beatdown Dmint. Other announcements:
– PUPPYPILE 5/16 7-8am at NoToll, watermelon and playground hangout after
– F3 RVA T-Shirts open for ordering: https://f3.mudgear.com/products/f3-rva-shirt-pre-order
Great coupon work this morning, and enjoyed this happy meal you served up. Nice stretching at the end, important and proper follow up for this heavy workout. Great partnering with Bulkhead and Faceplant. Welcome MILF, glad you were able to make it this morning, A Mother’s Day weekend beat down to remember. Cheers…CB
Well done Doublenimt- I too worry about losing a FNG because of a name. Phonics will have to tell him we mean it in the best way. Lol.
I’m all about the cool down stretch session
Great to catch up with so many guys this morning. I love Dogpile. The Healing Place run after suffered a bit but it was worth it
A good name can be clever and poke fun at someone without being offensive for the sake of being offensive. It just feels juvenile.
I agree Swiper. Even if he is comfortable with the nickname, I am not. I believe we need to come up with a different nickname and I am hopeful my colleague will continue to post.
Thanks gents and noted Phonics – how about Flash Card for the teaching connection or Clipper as a riff on the LA Lakers ?
Agreed. This is one worth changing.
It’s ultimately the Qs decision for the name.
If you go with riffing on the Lakers, you might consider “Sterling” as well. It sounds good, but has the added benefit of being a subtle reference to the totally disgraceful former owner of the Clippers.
The Q is going with Flash Card.
Thanks for the input and airing concerns – one strength of this group is it’s collective wisdom, which promotes course correcting when necessary to get to the right place. SYITG!
