You Can Go Your Own Way
Conditions: 37* This morning was a little different than normal OnB Mondays. When I pulled up, I saw a few cars but no PAX. At first, I thought I was late, but then realized we had a few XLers. Hopefully some others were just running a little behind and would be coming in on two […]
That’s What Rick Flair Says
Conditions: 37 Degrees 4:30 a.m. on Monday morning arrives awfully quick when you Q a run on Friday, run an 8k on Saturday and sign-up to Q Hustle on a Monday. To say the least, YHC was struggling a little to get motivated out of the gate this morning. The fog that was shrouding YHC’s […]
Miles for 8-Mile
27 PAX posted at Starbucks for our weekly runs of varying routes and distances. Additionally, we posted for one of our own who is suffering. It amazes me time and again to see our folks step up to the call when needed. The Thang Leave Starbucks at 5:15am (or earlier) and arrive back no later than […]
Montague Ave Freeze Out-n-Back
Coming up with titles for Backblasts can be challenging some days. So I went to my iTunes playlist to see if there were any song titles I could lift. The best I could do today was a nod to The Boss and his song “10th Avenue Freeze -Out”. Conditions: COLD 34* It was […]
One is the (quietest) number
One lonely pax showed up for Hustle this chilly morning. YHC had planned on abandoning ship and joining the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if no one showed up. But, feeling the need to incorporate legitimate sprint work and speed development into the routine, YHC gutted it out alone. Here’s what I did: 800m warm-up run […]
The Story of the Rabid Wolverine
Weather: Cool and Clear, high 30s Disclaimer: Given. Be safe, watch your step, watch out for others The Thang When we began training for the BRR last year, we added Friday “Hill” runs to prepare us for the mountains of NC. Needless to say, we don’t have anything close that compares for what was in […]
Shaggy Starbucks Run
The following BB is being posted on behalf of Shaggy: About half of the pax started at about 5:00, Then The rest started at 5:15. YHC did disclaimer then watched as the rest took off. YHC is trying to get over a headcold and therefore is not running today. Countarama Namarama COT: Furious feb. Shipyard […]
Hustle -More than a workout
Filling in for the injured Blueprint, I admittedly was distracted and not focused. However, I think it was a good Hustle, glad to see Weaver make his hustle debut. Single file run to Parking lot. This was supposed to be Indian run, but we did not know Weaver wasn’t privy! No one really cared. At […]
Abnormally Normal OnB
#Cobains for the delay in the BB. Conditions: Around 50° As we left the fountain to begin, YHC said that we’d do the normal OnB. Judge Judy, as usual, had a sly comment about not just going OnB, but a normal OnB. As I ran, I got to thinking about how abnormal we all must […]
If you’re going to honk, get a better horn
Conditions: 59 Degrees As Boy George sped into a parking spot right in time for this morning’s run, he honked to let Polly know he was a little too close to his car. Polly retorted, “If you’re going to honk your horn, get a better horn.” The mood was set. The route was a repeat […]
