The weather has shifted and the PAX are taking notice. There were some long sleeves, some who were envious of long sleeves and others who don’t know where their long sleeves are. A healthy EC crew returned just a few minutes before ME go time…Largemouth came in sprinting, which either means he was setting a new land speed record or was sending a message to the Q that whatever he had planned wasn’t going to be adequate.

Apologies dear Reader – it’s a short one today. It’s late and YHC is making a trek to the Land of Oz tomorrow, where everything is wonderful, taxes are high, grades are always B+ and Duke really is the devil. Churham here we go! But let’s stick with Flirtin’ for a minute. The pre-run here is no joke. About ten showed up and at 0500 we were off. And I mean like a flash. [Read More]

So 2 years ago on this date, worked out at Rush Hour I followed that up with posting at BO and SWW, so I almost did the same to Celebrate, and adding Q’ing to finish out the week. We had 16 Pax so Hermes took the new pax off for a Q school and the remaining 9 Mosey’d to the lot by the shelter for Warm-up FNGs: None EC: Lookout, Chipper, Oofta, Staubach, Bluewater and Captian Jack [Read More]

We were all headed out for milk and bread to get us through the Blizzard of 2020, but 14 detoured to Back in Black, hopefully the Ms and 2.0s understand. No FNGs present, the pledge was said, with meaning, and we mosey’d to a parking lot for warmups… Warmups: SSH, Merkins, Plank Jacks and Good Morning Partner Catch Me if You Can…5 burpees by partner 1 as partner 2 headed out towards Tryon Road…I hope the PAX each had the pleasure of at least three sets of burpees.

If YHC has one skill when it comes to Qing. One that is greater than all the rest. It has got to be the ability to sign up to Q the morning after late night events. Thursday night football…a major holiday…Christmas Party…you name it, I’m probably Qing it. So of course YHC has the Q on Friday at Slippery When Wet when just hours ago he was stuffing his face with pasta, slingin a few back, and toasting to the new year. [Read More]

It was an honor to be at the original location of Coffee with Oofta, Joe with Joe this morning. I arrived to find the pax milling about in the gloom, including Bayonne’s father, Whippersnapper who I later learned was celebrating his 77th birthday in the gloom. Lots of time help for this Q who prefers to lead without wearing a watch. Oh well, 545 ish - and we were off for a quick lap and a circle for - GM, Hill billies, Mountain climbers, SSH, Sir Fazios and then off again to the pavilion. [Read More]

Three met at 4:45 (GTL/Denali/Largemouth) for a few EC lake laps and got the sweaty slogfest started. With adequate time left for a shoe change #Denalisignaturemove, the rest of the PAX gathered. 5:15 a.m. on the clock so we mosey to the big parking lot. Warm up 15 Imperial Walkers 15 Side shuttle hops 5 Good mornings 15 standard merkins 15 Mountain Climbers Next up is a favorite of YHC, the BLIMPS circuit.

YHC is honored to celebrate my 3 year anniversary in F3 Carpex! Technically it is Monday 3/18, but work, yada yada yada.. The celebration will continue at DZ on 3/22. Repeato did the 440 EC ruck. Several did the 440 EC run, maybe Largemouth, Build-a-Bear and Ollie. My nantan, Ma Bell was blasting Back in Black by ACDC as he rolled up. He named me by the way. We welcomed the Krispiest of all Kremes from Hartsville. [Read More]
