Run fast to be fast
UncleJesse was scheduled to Q this weeks version of Hustle but was under the weather after a long night of concerting over the weekend. Due to Chicago Marathon training, if YHC is in town on a Monday, Hustle is the place to be for Speed/Track training…so a subQ was a no-brainer. Tweeter had UncleJesses proposed […]
Monday Motification
YHC always enjoys a Monday boot camp at Terrapin. Seems like a good way to start the week. Here’s what happened: Conditions: Hot and humid Disclaimer: given Warmup: 25 SSH Mosey to coupons then back to the swamp. 10 pull ups 20 pull overs 30 windshield wipers 40 overhead presses 50 V ups 60 curls […]
Just Another Day at Fury
This was the 2nd Sat FuryQ in a row for YHC. A ton has changed at Fury since that last Q. The lock went missing, the tires left town, the weights were relocated, ThunderSticks were introduced, the tires returned from vacay, a BattleChain was born, and Alpo turned another yera wiser. It was incumbent upon […]
when I find myself in times of trouble
YHC signed up to lead several workouts to find a little motivation to get back at it. Today’s Coffee Run was one in a trifecta of run Qs. 7 guys hit the streets/trails and got their Sunday started off right. It was great to see Coach K back with the group. We were named, we […]
Breaking Up A Rendezvous
There was a small Twitter war going on between the REAL RED Friday workout and the other guys on who would have the most PAX. I knew from past history that I was fighting an uphill battle, but the banter was welcomed and entertaining. We’ve had some that recently defected to the runners due to marathon training. I […]
I count my blessings when I find them
As the RunTheWood AOQ, I’ve been a little lax in motivating Pax to get out for a run. So, last night YHC made a prediction that more Pax would post at the fountain over RedFriday–igniting a competition. Immediately following this prediction, a texting campaign was started to try and drum up support for HeroHills. The […]
Pull-ups at TheShip?
YHC cut his teeth at TheShipyard and it will always have a special place in the ventricles and atria of my heart. The only thing that keeps TheShip from being a complete AO is the lack of pull-up bars – until today. YHC loaded up the garage pull-up rig and made a special delivery. […]
take their places at the table when they’re called
This is about a week late, so YHC will be brief. 9 pax showed up and ran varying distances and routes from the fountain. A disclaimer was given. We were counted and named. And Fabio led us in prayer. Until next time, hear this … [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVykImIbmhs?rel=0&showinfo=0&w=560&h=315]

Back to basics
I have been wanting to bring a different type approach to Fury. Something simple, but effective. So me and Jugs went and got replacement tires yesterday and I put my thinking cap on. I wanted to add some more weight training stuff mixed with some cardio. I thought up some new movements for Fury 2min […]
