Six gloom HIM’s converged at Dapile as a hazy dawn broke over Daville. SPIT planted the flag and closed the door on a nasty coupon beatdown he’d prepared in case YHC no-showed. No chance boyz, this Summer Tour has GOT to end! Here’s how we all got a little stronger: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the big lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer The usual DTH top to bottom IC Reps GETTING THERE: Mosey around the school Lunge walk pole to pole 50 yards Continue mosey to the tennis courts COP #1: PLT LINDSEY Partner up, PLT’s 30-25-20-15-10…

Welcome to F3RVA, where breaking away from the status quo serves the F3 Mission, brings families together, creates momentum and space for FNG’s, and where we get to have a whole lot of fun together in the process! The usual runners took off for BRR training while 23 ruck-loving F3 Dad’s, a gaggle of awesome kids, and a couple FNG’s hit the North Bank trail towards the city. The PAX stopped to count off a few times, stopped at about the 40min mark within sight of skyscrapers, snapped a group pic, and then reverso marched BTTVSF for a total of…
The GridIron Gang welcomed an SOJ Summer Tourist this morning. WhiteDeer is still having caber PTSD but at least he stuck around to see. Choosing “more miles” instead of the DTH beatdown, we bid farewell to Gypsy and Mooseknuckle (not sure of his actual name but this bro is proud of his junk and keeps it on display). The remaining 11 PAX followed YHC onto the GridIron. The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the football field Circle up for Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom MUSICAL BEATDOWN expectations reviewed – promised no…
And why not, right?

16 exceptional men joined YHC in celebration for the latest edition of First Watch. Conditions remained 70 and sunny. According to my father watching over us, the following might have happened: Mosey to the UofR athletic fields with a short pause for the six at Casa de Saab. Circle up at the field goal uprights for the COP. 100 SSHs (4 count)Dead Man Hang (OYO)Fudd’s Wife Roaring 20s – one set of 20 exercises for each year he lived in the 20sCarolina DrydocksImperial walkersHillbilliesLBCsGas pumpsLieutenant Dans (to remember the accident) 1940s – Dad served from 1943-1946, USAAC/AAF.

Four gloom compadres converged at Atlee HS for the Daville Monday Bootcamp option. YHC prize for recent Pickleball participation is apparently a Pickle Elbow (of course Beat It knew all about this), so we focused on legs and abbs today. With a full moon and a freshly shaved Beaver, what could go wrong?! The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey a big latecomers loop around the lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer PRESS PLAY: Bon Jovi’s “IT’S MY LIFE” – Nancy Kerrigans the entire song (alternate side as needed) interrupted by a Burpee with every “It’s My Life” A few of the usual…
That was me for 4.5 miles. Proof that you can achieve anything you set your mind to! The other seven also ran or rucked their way with the main route being Pump to Church and then down and up three neighborhoods: Sterlingwood, Chapelwood and Lake Lorraine. This route proved that Church Road is the high point as all three neighborhoods, 2 on 1 side of Church and 1 on the other, started downhill and of course, ended uphill. I successfully raced home while most everyone else did coffee and donuts at Dunkin.
Blame the Russians! Some how, I signed up to Q, but the Q sheet appeared open for the Forge, so Snuff signed up ready to rock! Anyway, Snuff kicked it over to me at 5:29:59. No problem. Let’s go. Warmorama by flagpoles: Provided F3 mission statement, core principles, and disclaimer. Exercises were: SSH/Deadman hangs/CHs/Ukranians soldiers/DQ/merkins/LBCs/APDs/flutters/ and Rosco’s Mom stretches (my fav!) COP 1: 11s using the amphitheater stairs. 1 squat to start.
