Pocahontas Middle School

Pocahontas middle school was still open for eight late voters today. Blue Moon voted to do some track work as he comes back from knee surgery. Pigskin voted to do laps around the school with 200 merkins, 200 dips and then four stops with 20 reps of different ab exercises. The rest of us (6, including guest Cappuccino) ran away from the pollsters and went to Short Pump Park. They did whatever I asked including warmups of DQ, Hillbillys, Cherry Pickers, Merkins and Freddies. I then used my platform of “the government is running in circles” to get 80 merkins…

Darkness falls across the landThe 5:30 half hour is close at handFive Creatures crawl in search of bloodTo terrorize the West Broad Village neighborhoodAnd whosoever shall be foundWithout the soul for running up and downMust stand and face the Hounds of HellAnd run inside a parking deck shellTo the top we ran in the airThe funk of four corners fear10 Merkins, 20 Plank Jacks from every tomb30 Squats and 40 Smurf Jacks to seal your doomAnd though you run up and down the stairs to stay aliveAnd at the Gazebo your body dips and steps up & starts to shiverWe…

Lighthouse requested the Pocahontas route. And so that’s what we did. Start out with 20 merkins by the stairway to the right of the entrance to the school, run on the sidewalk to the side of the school at the low walls and do 20 dips. Run around the back of the school and over to the tennis court benches; 20 merkins and 20 dips. Continue around the school on the sidewalk to the entrance to the school and run on the sidewalk to the front door to the school and back to the start at the stairway. This takes…

The Thing Regular Cul-De-Sac workout for us, run to neighborhood and 20 merkins and 20 LBCs each cul-de-sac. 10 cul-de-sacs once completed mosey around pond long way and then over to John Rolfe to get back to the flag. 4.25 miles covered, 200 merkins and 200 LBCs. Great combo for getting chest abs and some fat burn. Q closed with prayer.

5 gathered to enjoy the fall temps and get our workout in. We cover 3.8 miles of distance with some workout in the midst. Ran from flag over to Barrington neighborhood, first cul-de-sac we warmed up with 15 Side straddles, 10 Ukrainian solders, 10 merkins, and 10 Suzzanne Summers to pay tribute, mosey down the road to another street end, 20 merkins 20 LBC and 5 burpees, mosey around and find anothe cul-de-sac to start 11’s Merkins and Jump squats. Turned out to be a big spread of distance and covered 2 miles doing 11’s. headed back to flag, loop…

For a litany of reasons, had been several months since YHC had 1) posted 2) Q’d. Upon arrival at the AO, Lighthouse asked at 5:26 if I wanted to Q. Of course, why not!? Having given no thought to a gameplan, I decided to reheat a workout from my last Q. It went something like this: Head out from the AO and run to Windsor Place/Thamesford Way neighborhood Continue running through the neighborhood to the parking lot at Church Run Community Pool for Elevens, consisting of squat jumps and merkins After Elevens, caught our breath with a smattering of Mary…

With the end of Oktoberfest, it was time for some penance. We ran 2.7-3 miles, hit 9 different spots where I have had beers in the past and did increasing multiples of 1 burpee, 3 reverse crunches and 5 squats. Ended up with a total of 45 burpees, 135 reverse crunches and 225 squats plus the mileage. The 9 stops were: Pour House, Rusty Taco, World of Beer, MPM, Chuy’s, the old Kona Grill spot (under construction to be Fogo De Chao), Burger Bach, Park Lane/Keegans, & ended at the old Halligans spot (under construction for something new). Ran out…

After going all the way to five last week, this week we fell back to two, and it would be one if I would not drive Tonka with me. Where is everyone? Pig Skin had grandkids to take care of, but what about everyone else? Anyhow, we went in opposite direction this week to the end of Three Chopt road, but still did 11s: Hand Release Merkins on one side and Squats on the other (sorry, I am not very original). By the time we got back to the Flag the time was up. Total distance 3.5 miles.

We had a crowd! Five instead of regular three. We have not done 11s in a while, so this is what we did after some running: Merkins on one side and Squats on the other. On the way back it turns out we had extra time left, so we went around the lake and did three rounds of 20 derkins, 20 dips, 20 Freddies. Back to the flag with total distance around 4 miles. Great job everyone! Sorry for a delay… I am working on it.

The usual three turned up early Wednesday morning. Not to hot, not to cold. Pigskin stayed to do his usual circles around the school. Pinto and I ran to retirement community at the end of Three Chopt road. We did Dora there with merkins, squats, and LBCs. After finishing Dora YHC was surprised to discover that there were still 25 minutes left on the clock. Trying to stretch out the run back to the flag we stopped at every sign on our left and did two burpies (inspired by Gomer). That helped a lot with time. My usual apologies for…
