14 resolute resolution-holders came out to celebrate the WFT playoff berth with some fun. We did: COP in front of school: Don Qs, Russian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, Flutterkicks, Merkins. Mosey across street to the dark 3rd lot. 4 corners of 10 HRMs, 20 WWIIS, 30 Jump Squats, 40 SSHs. Then repeato but increase reps by 5 each station. Over to office area. Bear crawl spaces with 2 HRMs at each space. Back to the horseshoe for Triple check fun: Donkey Kicks, Reverse Crunches, & run the loop. Stop to commemorate the Former-Skins victory with 20 Burpees. Then onto skating-blacktop for…
No Q no problem in the new year. 5 men came out on a foggy morning for the morning hot patato. Bulkhead lead the group in the COP and then went over to the blacktop and formed a line, started with one burpee then sprinted to the left then right side of the basketball court, increased to 5 burpee. Then mr Holland stayed on the blacktop and did 11’s of jump squats and WW2 situps. Then it was handed over to mudface where he did merkin squats (dont know what they are really called) against the wall then balls to…
Seven studs showed up to take on the New Year and start the first week of the new year in good fashion. YHC was coming off a stellar weekend starting with a Buckeye win in the Sugar Bowl and ending with my beloved Browns ending 18 years of misery and making the playoffs. According to the white Tesla here is what went down. COP- 80 SSH’s (yes 80 because Wilson was being a smart ass and 1980 was the year the 8 year old version of YHC fell in love with those Kardiak Kids). 18 each: DQ, Dead man hang,…
Weather was predicted to be 40 degrees and wet. Thankfully for the PAX it was 70 degrees and sunny. 17 men took the Daily Red Pill and descended upon the AO in search of a beat down. This is the known unknown of what transpired that morning. Mosey to the bright light beside Dogwood Dell for COP #1 (Winter Olympics Edition) Nancy KerrigansApollo OnosBonnie Blairs Mosey to circle near Ha’Penny Stage for COP #2 (More Sports) Michael PhelpsNolan RyanBobby Hurley Stay there for Merkin Jacks (merkin/plank jack), and Captain Thors (WW2/American Hammer). 1/4 up to 5/20 and back down for…
Three regulars took a stroll through the Salisbury neighborhood on a chilly Sunday morning. Wilson and Aisle 5 were missed (the walk just isn’t the same without a 45 minute discussion about the history of Walmart cold storage facilities and their connection to VFD’s) but we managed to solve a few of life’s problems anyway. Snitch entertained with stories of Beer Man and Guitar man. Life is good.
5 brave souls adapted the time honored tradition of the start and stop location for Breakfast Club. This was done in order to obtain a most delicious biscuit sandwich. According to the aloof cyclist, this is how it went down. Led by Fauxberry (AKA Handshake), we moseyed down Robinson, around the lakes, and through and uncleared field for the long way around to get to Dogpile. Got in about 2.5 miles! On the way back the biscuits were calling our name so we took a more direct route. Alas, our journey was in vain, as when we arrived. They biscuit…

A solid 10 started the new year with a run around town. Weather was perfect and spirits were high. East on Grove, left on Lafayette, right on Monument. 4s turn on the Blvd, 5s on Meadow, and 6s on Harrison all picking up Grove to return to the SF. YHC took us out. Moleskin: Unlike the last time we did a New Year’s run, the town was very quiet this morning. YHC only saw a few empty liquor bottles and a giant red hawk on the route. Post anything interesting that you may have seen in the comments. The backblast…
Eight strong men from all over the metro RVA area made their way to Satan’s Hill located in New Market for the New Year Convergence. YHC gets why the turnout was so low. The incredible challenge and skill level to takle Satan’s Hill isnt for everyone. Fortunately for todays PAX, we would visit the hill only once. Please come back as Satan’s Hill is used often! Here is how it went down. Short COP, make way up Satan’s Hill for the popular Cul De Sack Tour. YHC has struggled to get EVERY one covered in 45 minutes, but with an…
Two superheroes and a boat anchor successfully alluded the fart sack, but bore witness to the absolute murder of cadence and numbers in general. So according to Arnold’s goldfish Gilbert, it went a little something like this: The THANG: COP #1: Mosey to the top of Mount ForgeWelcome & F3 DisclaimerTo warm up we pulled a Chappy (except not as hard): run down to the ticket booth, stopping at each parking lot to perform warm ups: 3x 5’s and 10’s, DQ’s, helicopters, imperial walkers, scorpion kicks. Staying in the final parking lot for :Round 1: ThunderCats (cat crawl on a…
