Check

Slept in on a Saturday morning, but can still sleep in and make EC run prior to my Q at Off The Rails. The beauty of later starts on the weekend. Warm Up We have an FNG, so make sure to give a solid disclaimer. Start off with The Pledge. Mosey to eventually reach the Thales Academy parking lot near the park. Hit the PAX with some SSHs, Good Mornings, Moroccan Night Clubs, Steve Earles, Calf and Runner’s stretch, and 10 CF Merkins for good measure. [Read More]

Promises were made. Q-drenalin is real. Back In Black, Oct 28th 2021

Made the commitment to VQ BiB a few weeks ago. Since then…body has fallen apart. Left ankle injury, neck strain at the Super Shield Lock BiB AO, and then my right ankle started feeling really dodgy after my Tuesday run. Several rounds of PT with Erin and plenty of needles. This AM my body is only being held together by pills, creams, and strong black coffee. Come hell or high water, this thing is going to go down.

Good Hill Hunting

BRR season is upon us, whether the Pax like it or not. Several crushed the Cauliflower EC, but since I rolled in at 5:13, I can’t tell you exactly who. 5:15 start. No shovel flag with good brother Snip at the beach, but I noticed on my drive in that the Town of Cary mounted flags around Koka Booth for the 4th, so we moseyed to the traffic island where we were surrounded by Old Glories.

Another Nice Q

AO: Back In Black Workout Date: 07/01/21 My sixty-ninth Q of the year was the prior Friday at Boiler Room, but that won’t stop me from repeating the joke for my sixty-ninth challenge Q today. Nice. BIB starts surprisingly early (0515), and YHC pulled into the Koka Booth lot just in time to catch Cauliflower and Adjacent for the prerun. I laced up and we were off on a two mile loop where we saw lots of wildlife (rabbits, a bat, maybe a mouse? [Read More]

So I know some of you are woodworkers...

My 3 years of f3 celebration continue as I Q at the place I posted for the 2nd time, and my favorite Carpex AO, Bradfords Ordinary. What I remember from that post was that Disco Duck was the Q and the old lady that gave Callahan what was walking and carrying a bag of rice as he was coming off of IR a hard time. (Read about it here) FNGs: 2 Welcome Satchmo and Flavortown [Read More]

Making Rectangles!

Really beautiful, crisp & cool morning at BnB! Here’s what happened: Welcome & mission, no FNG, pledge. Mosey to the big office building for warm-up – typical stuff. Then, the big Thang – 21’s merkins & monkey humpers working the big parking lot making beautiful Strava rectangles – added LBC’s on the alternate corners…. After that we got a little bear crawling in as promised & it was back to the flag for CoT – parking lot was packed with Lifetime Fitness folks crowding our space – what the heck people? [Read More]

Parental Advisory

Balmy 34 at Koka Booth at 0515. Cauliflower and Squatter for the impressive 0445 EC. 12 Pax for my second attempt at a gangster rap strength workout. No one was clamoring for this the first time around, but it was so famously interrupted that I wanted another chance to stick the landing. Mosey half-way to the rock pile. Quick warm-up. Mosey all the way to the rock pile. Choose a non-traveling rock. [Read More]

this is the year

HAPPY OPENING DAY! We made it through another baseball offseason. And through another Q1. And through another gloomy gloomy winter. We got some sprinkles this morning, and I don’t think we cracked 50deg, but it was glorious nonetheless. Here’s what we did… Gather up, and oh snap, Bayonne’s here!! Awesome to see you back, man. 9 others rolled up including 2 via EC. Burt swaps his Dodgers jersey for a tank top, and I don my Matt Harvey jersey for potentially the last time. [Read More]

We didn't start the fire...

…it was always burning, since the world’s been turning. It’s been 49 weeks since I last “officially” posted at an AO, March 20th 2020, with @Franklin at the helm at Gran Torino. Since that time, it’s been a helluva ride: Well, Covid, Black Lives Matter became a movement instead of just good damn common decency as humans Kim Jong Un died. Then didn’t Kanye West ran for president. Really, that happened.

2nd to Last Day

We’re almost there!! This was my only second time posting at Point Break (I hung onto the edge of the magic carpet that is running EC with Lookout and then bailed for SNS one other time), but the spot was open this weekend, so the JP as imminent South-Caryite Q tour had an opportunity to continue. Can’t pass that up. Adjacent rolled up at 5:20 (stronnnnnng move by the site Qsee correction*), followed by 4 others. [Read More]
