Maupin
With the Murph challenge coming up, I wanted to pick a Hero WOD that would continue to prepare pax for the Murph. Maupin seemed like the perfect one to get a good workout while learning about and honoring a fallen soldier. To read more about U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Maupin, click here: Maupin. The Thang: 4 […]
KIA 5/27/1968
YHC came in hot to a surprisingly large run group for a Friday hill run, threw out some obscure, inaudible random route which loosely translated into a nice relaxed OnB. Oh, and YHC remembered the disclaimer… The weather was near perfect, the morning reasonably quiet so off we went… Upon returning, we counted (14, […]
Murph Training Days
YHC has been keeping an eye on The Murph Challenge twitter account as they post daily workouts to help get people prepared for the official Murph Challenge workout that happens on Memorial Day. That got me to thinking, while it wouldn’t be one of the normal Hero WODs , why not do a day or […]

Honoring Severin
With REDFriday’s being at the end of the week, many Pax are worn out from their week and it can be hard to get up one more day early in the gloom. However, getting to workout in honor of someone who paid the ultimate sacrifice and with a group of guys who have no quit, […]
RED Friday honors Easter
6 posted for JesusWOD in honor of the greatest sacrifice. The day prior, YHC was running with Juggernaut when he suggested that we do the JesusWOD at Red Friday in honor of Easter. I missed the running of this WOD the previous year and after hearing all the hype surrounding it, was excited to […]
Leaders, Followers and Heroes
It was a small group this morning at REDFriday and, honestly, YHC has come to prefer it that way. Well, maybe not small, but that those who post there come prepared to give everything and then some with a never quit attitude. It makes all the difference in the world. That brings me to another […]
Dual antennas whipping in the wind…
9 PAX gathered to take on F3Greenwood’s self proclaimed (not proven) toughest workout of the week. Each Friday we gather to honor the fallen and this week we honored Ryan Job. You can read about him below. Typically the workout is ramped up and “for time” which means you determine when the suck ends by […]
Who’s Q is it any way…
YHC believes it was this past Saturday that Baby Blu got the reminder that he had the RED Friday Q. Later on in the week Blu contracted the “Crud” so he asked for a sub to take the Q. I responded and told Blu I would take his Q. A few minutes later Uncle Jesse […]
