Are You Sure It’s October?
It was another muggy, summer morning in Greenwood SC, but the only problem was that it is the second week of October. I guess we thought the warm, humid temps were behind us, but we were obviously wrong. Maybe Al Gore was on to something with this whole climate change thing. 25 pax met at […]
Shipyard Bucket Brigade, Concrete Monster, Stadium, and more
11 pax showed up on another warm muggy October morning. Around 71° and 100% humidity. This was a slightly larger crowd than YHC had expected, but work was planned, and work was done with minimal modifications. Disclaimer was given that this was a Spartan-centered workout and that if you needed to modify, then by all […]
Furious Trio
YHC had no real plan for Fury until late last night. While searching the recesses of YHC’s limited brain space, it was recalled (recalled to life, perhaps?) that we had not done any Tabata work in quite some time. So, Tabata it was. But, there has been a pretty high bar set for the […]
“The guy who came up with this must be a jerk”
Conditions: balmy Disclaimer issued at 5:59am Pax strode down and grabbed coupons and circled up at base of concrete monster. 15 SSH and 15 Cut the grasses performed to loosen up and then off we went. Since there were only 5 pax and Thumper and Bengay had not done battleship, we proceeded like […]
Blu’s back with Bucket ‘O Bricks
Blu had been out a few days and was anxious to get back in the gloom. Terrapin is the perfect venue to get back to it. Wow, what an uncomfortable morning, 77 degrees and 100% humidity. But work to be done. This is what we did: The Thang: Gather at the pull-up station. 25 burpees, […]
Round and Round
A 6 pack of Hustlers cut through a soggy wall of tropical moisture topping out at 100% humidity and a balmy 75 degrees at 5am in October. YHC was looking forward to getting back to Hustle and try to find his long lost running speed. Well, I do not know if I ever had the […]
It’s so humid, the air is sweating
Conditions: 75°, 100% humidity per the Weather Channel (isn’t it October?) Disclaimer: Given at 1 minute warning Some pax arrived early and left early, some pax arrived early and left on time, Tootsie Roll arrived at exactly 0515 and left shortly thereafter. Pax ran varying routes of varying distances. All but 1 pax arrived back […]
My, my, my I’m so happy…
…I wanna join the band We gonna sing and dance in celebration We are in the promised land! REDFridays always seem to be special, but as YHC rolled up to Old Glory waving in the wind, the air seemed a little more crisp, like this day was just a bit more special than most. Turns […]
You Do You
10 pax met at the Uptown Fountain for this week’s edition of the Hero Hills. I was not so sure how many would post for a run since there are a couple races this weekend, but it was good to see double digits today. I had no set plan for the run, so I instructed […]
Tick tock, ya don’t stop
The look on Sours face told the story when he saw the rock buckets in the back seat that I was asking him to help carry to the workout site. The buckets were back in action and they were begging to be carried. Disclaimer-given, tried to emphasize that it’s ok to modify – especially […]
