13 conspirators gathered in the gloom at MM Elementary and waited for @Conspiracy to show up for his first Q in quite awhile. It was not to be – not because he was late, but because HE NEVER SIGNED UP TO Q TODAY. Instead, YHC was accommodating a request from several PAX that they not know when The Lucky Horseshoe was to happen, only to quickly realize that you can’t make everyone happy. THE THANG Mosey to the corner on Grove Ave. Warmup COP: Jumping Jacks x 20 IW x 20 Lunges x 10 each leg LBCs x 20…

8 faithful posted for a Friday morning jog.  Weather was perfect for a run. The Thang. Commonwealth north to Monument, right on Monument.  4 mile turn is The Boulevard, 5 mile turn is Allison and six mile turn is Stuart Circle.  Back to commonwealth and to the shovel flag. Moleskin Bleeder was an early runner this morning.  He left 10-15 minutes prior to the workout so he could get an extra mile or two in.  He is training for the 1/2 marathon and needed to get a few miles under his belt.  Probably didnt hurt to add a mile more…

In celebration of ESPN’s College Game Day visiting Harrisonburg for the JMU vs UR game, 15 Strong + Jville gathered in RVA to make themselves fitter and remember other famous Virginia sporting accolades.

11 strong emerged from the fartsack and posted at 45MOM today.  Weather was crisp and clear, 58 degrees and clear, The Thang: Mosey to far side of school.  Disclosure and announcement of the birth of Maximus Alexander Bleile.  Workout today to be done in his honor.  Little Baby Crunches x89 (Maximus was 8 lbs 9 oz at birth), SSH x20, through the tunnel x 20, arm circles x15 forward, arm circles x15 backwards, Merkins x 10.  Mosey to tennis courts for “The Pusher”.  All plank along side of tennis court.  First PAX run from baseline to service tee, sideways to…

16 got their mosey on at 45MoM this morning.  Goose previously let the PAX know we were tackling the Lucky Horseshoe today, and here’s how it went down: Mosey to the corner on Grove for COP: SSH x 20                                                                                                                              …

8 men of purpose got their day started as the shoveled Stars & Stripes flapped gloriously in the wind. Most of the pre-planning went out the window; the Q made on-the-fly adjustments to still meet the objectives of the day: – No rolled ankles from uneven ground in the gloom – Get a good workout while not rolling around in the mud – Pull-ups somewhere along the way THE THANG: Mosey past the Carillon to the second turnabout circle. COP – SSH x25 – IW x20 – Alabama Ass Kickers x15 – Russian Soldiers x20 – Merkins x10 Mosey around…

16 Dry and Driven men emerged from their Fartsack to attack the day (and the british) at 45 MOM.  The weather was nearly perfect.  60 degrees, slight rain, no stars.  YHC was hoping for much worse weather, man do I like it when the gloom gets gloomy!!!!  Despite the lack of driving rain, the PAX left 45MOM drenched and muddy.  A great time was had.  Here is how it went down. The Thang Mosey to the basketball courts, Paul Revere Starter (1 if by land two if by sea, so everything is either and 11 count or 22 count).  Merkins x…

17 Faithful beat the fartsack this morning for the gun show at Mary Munford Elementary. Most of the PAX seemed to have figured out the parking situation, and @Bleeder planted the shovel flag. An extended #mumblechatter-style “Happy Birthday” to Fudd was rudely interrupted as YHC kicked off the festivities. THE THANG Mosey to the NW corner of the school grounds Warm-up COP (all in cadence/IC) – SSH x25 – Arm circles: small fwd x10, small backward x10, large backward x10 – Merkins – full range with locked elbows and hands off the ground at the bottom x8 – LBCs x…

…showed up for a solid beatdown at 45MOM on a beautiful morning in the Gloom.  Humpty Dumpty was nowhere to be seen, but 25 strong PAX were in full force.  AYE!!  Here is how it went down.
