YHC woke up excited to Q his first kettle bell workout. Hopped in the car, pulled out of the neighborhood and glanced at the clock. 5:30. @#$% that’s the starting time for Hell’s Bells, I’m already late. Panic shoots through me. Then I wake up, for real this time. Grab the phone and see it’s still four-something. Everything’s gonna be all right. Warm-Up Every man grabs a kettle bell (a “travelling” kettle bell) and we mosey down to the circle for side straddle hops, hillbillies, Sir Fazios and cotton pickers. [Read More]

Finally, a Monday where it has not rained or is raining, and we can do a little bit of traveling with our bells this fine morning. Sooey comes in hot, with Crimson in tow of course and Wilbur slides in on two wheels. We mosey down the parking lot, cutting short our usual warm-up run to help Shut-In cover less distance and circle-up for: Warm Up Side-Straddle Hops Good mornings [Read More]

I don’t know what’s going on with the weather this week. It’s spring, but it’s snowing. The weatherman says it’s one temperature, the thermometer in my car says it’s another temperature, and while I’m standing there waiting for the clock to tick 5:45 it feels colder than either of them. One FNG, disclaimer is given, let’s get the blood moving and warm these boys up. Warm-Up Mosey over to the end of the parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, imperial walkers, Sir Fazios both ways, plank jacks and merkins (morning, Ma Bell! [Read More]

When: February 26th, 2018 QIC: Earhart The PAX: WWW, Wilbur, Capone, Sour Mash, Monkey Nut, YHC Earhart For what feels like the 5th Monday in a row, it is raining for HBs. YHC plan for the workout was curtailed as we cannot use the Bells in the wet. So, thanks to a well-lit and roomy shelter right next door, the Q will be in there. We drag the bell’s into the shelter and distribute them around the different benches (or is it pain stations).

Another great Monday morning to start at the best AO in Apex (I’m biased of course).

It was a little bit warm this morning so it was a good time to get our sweat on. I was a little worried because it was 5 minuts to start time and only Shut-in and Sooey had a kettlebell. [Read More]

You had to know this was coming. For a week straight, we’ve been treated to a running gag concerning my last name. The Slack really does have a life of its own. Although, y’all are pretty tame compared to some of the variations I’ve seen and heard (Switch the X with a Z, drop in an N, and my all-time favorite, “Now batting, KEVIN MULLINEZZER!” - WTF?!). There’s nothing like being handed a little card right before walking to receive your diploma, the culmination of a lifetime of waaaaaaay too much schooling, asking you to phonetically spell out your name for the Dean to read (“Moo-Yay-So”), only to have her glance down, shudder, look up, her mouth moving silently, look down more earnestly, begin sweating, then look up, lean into the microphone, and say with all the confidence that only an academic trained for a lifetime to BS when all else fails could muster, “Kevin Mossalayou!
