You Dirty Rat
A solid number of runners for our weekly Starbucks extravaganza. Even a running appearance made by Sour who blew by YHC on the CrossCreek Connector. Afterwards, we had some fun when a mouse scurried over Meter’s foot inside the newly renovated Starbucks. We alerted the staff (one of whom appeared to quit on the spot) and […]
“Embarrassing Moments with Polly” S1E1
After a month-long absence due to injury, YHC knew he would need some extra accountability to get back in the groove. YHC borrowed a page from UncleJesse’s playbook and signed up for a number of Qs over the next few weeks. Then, the Nan’tan dropped the dope on the October pax challenge. The two dovetail […]
Heavy Things
Spartan Race is right around the corner and YHC has been dreaming of different ways to use the buckets and other heavy objects to strain the muscles and work on grip strength. Hopefully this was a good challenge. Disclaimer-given, warning about carrying of heavy objects and to try and avoid injury Mosey to the […]
Spartan Training: Core, Grip, & Burpees
Continuing on the trend to get a little Spartan training during bootcamps, YHC decided to pull out a workout from a good while back. The goal was to work on core and grip strength, but also practice for those burpees that will unfortunately come. Conditions – Clear skies, crisp, and temps around 55 degrees. A […]
Return of the “Dogfather”
It was a crisp, cool, finally fall morning at the “best AO in the state”~ And long overdue for YHC to Q a workout, been a couple years, being a kotter is for the birds. We have been off to a little bit of a slow start and leaning hard on PAX from other regions […]
Carry on you wayward sons…
Spartan Training is all the rage now days. So, YHC decided he would throw in what he knew about the matter, which is admittedly not much. So the work was simple. Quick warmup: 25 Side Straddle Hops 25 Alternating Shoulder Taps The Thang: Heavyweight Dora (This was done in five minute rounds in teams of […]
Runnin Down a Dream
11 pax descended at various times on the Fountain for a little running around #TheWood. The disclaimer was given. Pax went Out n Back and Round n Round. Some went long and some went for fartleks. Runnin and Dreamin of a Half, a Full, a P200 or grateful for a 10K for the first time […]
Hustlers Gonna Hustle
One never knows how many pax to expect at #Hustle on a given week. There can be double digits, or it can be a solo workout. I have experienced both. I was encouraged to see a few cars in the parking lot when I pulled up. 4 strong pax got together to get their #Hustle […]
Bucket Brigade Meets Epicenter
The recruiting efforts the night before by Baby Blu, the Q at Fury, abounded. But, I felt very safe after getting a solid HC from Flossy, Sour, and Dixie Chick. I knew other dedicated men would be there as well…but it’s always nice to “know” you can count on those who HC. In the immortal […]
Come Hill or High Mileage
Conditions: Not Quite Fall Yet When YHC arrived at the fountain, he thought the crowd looked a little thin given the number of cars that filled the lot. For a few minutes, it seemed as though there was a much larger early-start crowd than the one queuing up to run some hills. But with five […]
