At WaThoHuk, we’re not afraid of a little rain and 42 degrees. OK, Lighthouse and I aren’t. We ran out of the parking lot at Pocahontas to 3 Chopt Road, took a right, another right on John Rolfe, a right on Old Brick and headed to the parking deck on the same block as Dave and Buster’s. Three trips up and down the ramps. First time, a stop at each end of the ramp for increasing flutter kicks (4, 8, 12, etc.) Ended up doing 44 flutters kicks on the last stop. Next time, Merkins (1, 2, 3, etc). Final…

Three warriors met at a warm parking garage to enjoy a musical workout. Did you expect anything less from my first Q (2nd if you include the one time I was the only one to show up)? Here’s what we did: Warmup: Ran up a few levels doing butt kickers and high knees. Then stopped for some Don Quixotes and Russian Soldiers. Then the music played: Playlist: Chumbaburpees: Listened to their one hit “Tubthumping” doing SSH’s except the Chorus with a burpee for every “knocked down” (about 20). Took the stairs down and ran to the Aloft deck entrance. Paula…

4 gloom warriors stumbled into WTH on a fairly chilly morning not knowing what to expect from YHC.

Warmarama- Dead man hang right side left side right foot across then flapjack The Thang: 11s on the straight away in the center of the complex to include squats and merkins. We then took a sightseeing tour around short pump which included a DD sighting, T-Mobile, new eye wear and…

We had 4 times the number of people that we had last week! Roger Roger flew in. White Snake decided to drive in instead of run in. And Homer was enticed by the opportunity to do Burpees, even though it was about 25 degrees. We went east on Three Chopt Road, around the Goose Poop Loop to the entrance, (15 Dips in cadence, 10 derkins in cadence and 5 Burpees OYO) then North on Fish Pond Lane, left on Old Brick Road to the parking deck next to Burger Bach. We ran the stairs or ramps 4 or maybe…

My first planned Q at WaThoHuk. ‘We’ went east on Three Chopt Road, around the Goose Poop Loop to the entrance, then North on Fish Pond Lane, left on Old Brick Road to the parking deck next to Burger Bach. ‘We’ ran the stairs 4 times with a stop at the top for 20 merkins. ‘We’ then returned the way ‘we’ came except ‘we’ completed a circumnavigation of the Goose Poop Loop. When ‘we’ got back, ‘we’ ran around the island and then ‘we’ did 20 merkins and called it finis (about 10 minutes early). Total distance was about 3.2…

A thin crowd today for my first unplanned Q at WaThoHuk. Despite the cool weather, Whitesnake was sweating that he was the only one, until I showed up at 5:28.  So, we ran the island twice in case someone showed up (no one did) and then went east on Three Chopt Road, around the Goose Poop Loop to the entrance for some Derkins and Dips. North on Fish Pond Lane, left on Old Brick Road to the parking deck next to Burger Bach. We ran the ramps twice with some stops for merkins, and the stairwell once. We then returned…
