Shipyard Spokefest
YHC received a fancy LED lantern with 4 small removable LED panels for Christmas. While it has been handy on occasion since Christmas, when I first saw how it worked, my first thought was “I could use this for a workout.” The spoke workout was the logical choice and the Shipyard practice field was the […]
Power Hour – Fury Style
Back in college (and even high school) we liked to get together and drink beer before heading to whatever event was on tap for that day/evening. We affectionately called, and still call, this tradition “pre-drinking”(Sour and Snake Eyes know what I’m talking about). One of our favorite pre-drinking rituals was the “power hour”. Basically, you take a […]
Hello Last Saturday in January
This was originally supposed to be a Dixie Chick / Uncle Jesse CoQ. UJ had to travel for family, so YHC gladly stepped in to assist. DC and I got together Friday night and shot some ideas back and forth through good ol’cyber space. We were both wanting to do a partner type workout to […]
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 […]
Coffin’s First Sausage Party!
YHC was privileged to lead 9 pax in a repeat of his summertime favorite, “The Struggle”. Also known as the Epicenter version of the 1100, the pax, including one FNG, fought their way through almost 1000 reps of joy before time was called. Welcome to Jim Pinson, aka Nugent!

2017 Maltz Challenge
YHC has been advocating for awareness of our armed forces for nearly as long as I have been able to breathe. That has even been paired with F3 when I launched REDFriday here in Greenwood and shared my passion for it with groups in MECA and Mint Hill. We even spotted a guy from Richmond, […]
Jesse’s Tour de Greenwood Day #2
As pointed out by Meatloaf over the weekend, I inadvertently signed up to Q workouts M-F of this week at essentially all of our physical locations (except the fountain I guess). I am making a concerted effort to not fall of the wagon during tax season this year and what better way than to Q was […]
Up hill both ways
Monday 4:25am alarm goes off…I let the covers win and I hit dismiss. 6:05am alarm goes off and I immediately felt like a worthless slob. “Why didn’t I get up and run?” I didn’t have any excuses expect I was lazy. So I get up and mope around for a little bit, then i look […]
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 […]
