“Gun Shots rang out like a bell”
“Gun shots rang out like a bell” is a line from one of my favorite songs growing up, Ice Ice Baby. And when we hear gun shots in The Wood we run for the hills, because they are alive. It was an eventful morning in The Wood, as usual unfortunately. Pothole was first on the scene and heard what […]
Ra! Ra! Ra! Best motivational speech never given!
It was a record day at #REDFriday – 7 PAX including 1 FNG! YHC always loves welcoming new PAX to the fold. It was admittedly difficult to have to explain that he was beginning his journey on #REDFriday – Greenwood’s toughest workout. We celebrate heroes and that means it’s time to get down and dirty […]
Clash @Shipyard-Mr Bean vs Rain. (The rain won)

Fabio’s Thursday Morning #SwampFest
9 Pax gave the #fartsack a stiff kick to the mid-section for a rainy #AMRAP #SwampFest at the #EpicCenter. Upon arrival Fabio discovered that the #EpicCenter had been robbed – the bandits got away with all of our #Coupons and all of our orange #ManCones. So Fabio “flipped the script” on the Q. This day […]

The Thang – 5K through the misty Wood! […]

“One of these days they know they better get goin”
21 PAX rolled out of bed to tackle what Uncle Jesse was cooking. Juggernaut pointed out last week that I had yet to give the PAX a “dose” of the Grateful Dead, so I felt it important to honor that request. With the abundance of fartsacking lately, I thought the lyric from the classic “Truckin” was fitting: “Most […]
Running in the Lights
15 pax braved the almost subfreezing temps on a rain free Monday morning! Rain has played havoc on the Monday Run Day so despite the cold temps today was almost perfect! #tclaps to Uptown Greenwood for sprucing up the #FountainHead in all its Holiday splendor. Starting and finishing in the lights added to the run […]
What a Difference 6 Months Makes
YHC had the privilege of CO-Qing with Special K today for his VQ! This guy brings it to the PAX’s early and often. The double Q did not disappoint the PAX or allow them to breath. YHC has been busy of late but had to travel for work on Thursday so had time to reflect […]
Bo Diddley – More than just an evil genius
Bo Diddley welcomed eight faithful PAX into the sub-freezing gloom for the #DRP and the first of what will hopefully be many evil genius Qs. A challenging workout that included everyone mixed with the best cadence cooked up south of Metro! Conditions 29° and, well, dang cold… Disclaimer CoP SSH x 25 IC Windmill x […]
