“But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words,… …Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man teach his son,…”   — Shakespeare, Henry V July needs a Puppy Pile, and Puppy Pile needs a Q.  Teach your son (or daughter, or sons, or daughters, or sons and daughters…). I’ll be out of town for a couple of weeks.  Need a H.I.M. to step up.  Who shall pick up the Gauntlet and lead?  (He’ll also need to pick a date and talk it…

45! Strong F3 dads and Kids convened for a little speed frisbee golf, and splashing fun.  Here’s how it went, more or less. The Thang Mosey around the parking lot to COP which was: 10x SSH, 10X woodchoppers, 10X Rockettes (arm circles IC with alternating leg kicks on the 4 count), 10x Merkins. The next part of the workout was a bit of controlled chaos whereby each family took turns throwing a frisbee and chasing after it until you reached the next “hole.”  The goal was to get it into the hole fastest, not necessarily with the fewest throws, so…

23 water-logged warriors threw off the covers of their Fartsacks, resurrected the mud-filled dreams of their youth, and created a PuppyPile for the ages.  On Monday, the kids in the cafeteria will tell a tale that sounds something like this: COP: Mosey to the Amphitheater Circle.  COP Q’d by YHC and escorted by two of Richmond’s finest officers of the law. SSH’s IW’s DQ’s Invisible Jump Rope, with flair. Mercans LBC’s Curb Crawls: Start on inner curb.  1 mercan.  Crawl bear to outer curb.  2 mercans.  Bear crawl to inner curb.  3 mercans…continue progression up to 5 mercans. Hot potato…

With the very brief return of Spring, my 2.0 has increased the frequency of her “Daddy, when is the next 2.0 Friendly Workout?”  In chatting with the PAX, a number of you have given soft commits. YHC is requesting anyone with interest to drop a quick reply to this post.  Last year, 7:00 a.m. after Dogpile (PuppyPile!) seemed to get a good response…who’s interested?  Who’s ready to HC for April 21 or April 28?
