Urban Farmhouse Midlothian

On a crisp morning at Winterfield Crossing, a picturesque park nestled amidst rolling hills and towering trees, the scene was set for a gathering of fitness enthusiasts and thoughtful conversationalists alike. Two runners and three walkers had assembled, each with their agenda for the day’s activities. Honeymoon and Gumbo, the dynamic duo of the running world, wasted no time in lacing up their sneakers and setting off on a brisk run. Theirs was a mission of speed and stamina, as they aimed to conquer the winding paths and undulating terrain. Meanwhile, Aisle 5, Nancy, and Cookie, the trio of walkers,…

Just another Sunday OTB. 4 2-legged runners followed our favorite 4-legged pace car for some flat miles (6.25) through Salisbury. We passed Draper’s house and sent some healing vibes his way. Heal that ankle up quickly brother. Coach OshA entertained us with some of his current cases. I think Boberry may be contemplating a career change but I’ll leave that to others to inquire. Poor Annie wore off some pads on her paws dragging Honeymoon around today. Tough work Annie. Heal up quickly girl. 3 walkers solved all the worlds problems and shared tea bags afterwards…don’t ask. Another great OTB.…

Bermuda boys brought 4 PAX to beef up the back and biceps – barbaric body weight brutality to brighten our Friday! #Alliteration. YHC has a love/hate relationship with pull-ups – but given the amount of “push” (Chest, Tris) we do during F3, it takes some focused efforts to target the back/bis/rear chain. Today was all about the pull-up! Nearly 100 were completed (PERFECT FORM! ha) during the following circuits… 1 mile Warm-up JOG OYO Stretches COP 1 – Pullup Ladder 1 P/U (all 4 Pax rotate thru, short break b/w each set) 2 P/U 3 P/U 4 P/U 5 P/U…

Two SOJ vets gathered back at buttermilk trail this morning for some ruck training. The trails were quiet this morning as we rucked 5.5 miles. As we came to our turn around point we ran into Fudd and the boys out for their morning trail run. Great work guys! F3 was taking over the trails this morning! Grateful for the weather and the quality conversation. Have a great day!

Three men launched from just outside Belle Isle Park at 6a for a 2 hour, ~6.5 mile Ruck throughout the Buttermilk Trails. Morning temperatures were perfect for getting after it to start the weekend off right. PAX enjoyed a casual hike filled with banter and even made a mid-hike pit stop at Dogpile just in time to join Handshake and the PAX as they closed with COT. First bumps and welcomes from all at Dogpile before turning around to complete the remaining ~3 miles back to our starting point. Excellent view of the sunrise while crossing Nickel Bride and grateful…

Five runners started off their Sunday right by hitting the mean streets of Midlothian. Pretty standard southern route that got us 6 miles. Great company and great conversation followed by more 2nd F at Starbucks. After the run, YHCs watch said that one more minute of vigorous exercise was needed to hit the weekly quota. Great ideas followed on how to hit that last minute. Enjoy your Sunday fellas!

6 SOJ ruckers, an F3 runner and some friends met Off the Books for ruck training around TwinTeam. Draper and some coworkers ran off into the Gloom in search of some hills while the rest of us hit the streets toward Robious Landing Park. What looked like a cliff near the river turned out to be the overflowing banks of the James. As most of the trails circle around to the river, access was not to be found today. Hopefully not too much damage to the park or floating docks. The only reasonable alternative was hit the TwinTeam hill, the…

Very dark and misty this morning. But that didn’t stop 3 runners and 2 walkers from meeting up at Starbucks and getting it done. Runners got in anywhere from 5-6.5. 2nd F at Starbucks afterwards. The title of the BB is just two of this morning’s conversation topics. If you’re interested in investing in Bitcoin, Aisle 5 can tell you all about it. Have a great Sunday!

YHC + 2 enjoyed some off the books beef with a “kettle bell Safari”. Venturing across the Sahara of Bermuda to hunt down the kettles hiding in the brush around Goyne Park. Krikey! CAUTION TO ALL: Unfortunately YHC placed his 50# KB out of eyesight and it was gone upon completion of the AO… Someone in Chester who is now 1 kettlebell richer probably saw the following… Warmarama Disclaimer Mosy Warm Up Stopped every couple hundred meters for various IC warm-ups and stretches THE THANG – 3 XO Circuit at each station – Mosy ~1/4 mile to next station GAZEBO…

Two stallions explored the streets of Westham by foot; surveying the aftermath of Halloween. It was in fact pretty calm and quiet with no signs of the previous night’s events. Pucker came up with a nice running tour of Westham, UR, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Crisp morning for a run!
