Pushed around by BBQ
Disclaimer was given PAX departed Starbucks at various times and returned safely at 6:00am. Had to move to Starbucks because the BBQ was in town and clearly the Nantan does not have more political clout than the Festival of Discovery. Announcements: BC tomorrow will be at the Epicenter by our very own Hulk Prayer requests: […]
Hero Hills
Conditions: 72 degrees, 100% humidity Disclaimer was given at the Fountain and all PAX that had not left already headed out, mostly up Main Street. All PAX returned, eventually, to the Fountain 45 or so minutes later. Sugar and Beuller made a drive-by appearance. COR NOR Announcements: Tomorrow the BC is at Terrapin. Judge Judy […]
A Monday Fountain Convergence
Weather: Roughly 70 degrees Disclaimer: Given Hustle and the normally scheduled OnB converged at the fountain for a mix of distances, paces, and speed workouts. Some ran, some rucked, some sprinted, some walked. But all returned safely at 0600. It was nice to see such a large turnout to start the week. Welcome FNG Wheaties! […]
Hustle at the Fountain
Today started week two of a training plan I have mapped out through December. At this point, I feel like I’ve already got one foot in the door of the struggle bus. So, this morning when the alarm went off, it took a lot more effort to get out of bed than it took to […]
Monday Morning Moves
Today was the last OnB of July. Conditions: 75F and slightly less humidity than a downpour Disclaimer: n/a The THANG: Go run and enjoy your Monday morning before it gets ruined by a coworker of work in general. Just be back for the COT at 0600. Most of us moved around on the 4.5 miler […]
The Need for Speed
It has been a while since I Q’ed The Hustle. But I started a new training plan today and speed work was on the schedule. Seven other pax had the same need for speed. The gates to the track were closed. So, we went out-and-back with several plans and made it back in time for […]
Winning
Last night some chatter surfaced to see whether RunTheWood or RedFriday could get the most pax. If it isn’t already obvious, I enjoy a friendly rivalry. In this case, it was good motivation to go a little further in getting the word out about our Friday options. But more on that in a minute. This […]
Quiet Crowd for a Wednesday
For mid-July, it was a very nice, crisp morning in the Wood. 24 PAX got out of bed to get a little better. I’m always surprised the number isn’t higher. Not only for Wednesdays, but for every day. It’s so dang easy to get to a 5:15 work out. In fact, it’s simple. All you […]
THIRD TIME’S A CHARM

Countorama Nameorama COT- Announcements- Looking for a 2.0 Q for Saturday. Need someone to step up and lead. A few things that were not mentioned were the IronPAX challenge […]
Hills Abandoned (Temporarily)
YHC arrived to the fountain to learn no one in attendance planned to run any hills, myself included. Some pax in attendance are training for various events (marathon, Ragnar, etc.), and others are out running trying to build the base after coming off injury. So #herohills was scrapped for this particular Friday. Pax in attendance […]
