As I was thinking about Claymore yesterday, I was worried that it would be too much running for a limited run AO, so scratched it and started fresh. And it did not disappoint. 545 hits, mission statement and disclaimer, and short mosey to the tennis court. [Read More]

So off to the interwebs at work (because what else would I be doing there) and found the 1000 reps Challenge. [Read More]

Ruck 20100a and 20100b

A beautiful morning for Rolling Stone. Turns out this is my 100th ruck of the year, so the workout was laced with 100 reps / motions / etc. YHC showed up for some EC shortly after 0500. Getting in 2 miles under 26 minutes was a great warm up (Ruck 20100a). I got back to see 1) some smiling faces and questions about how much weight people should or should not bring on this morning’s workout and 2) that the GT flag was not in its usual spot. [Read More]

This morning was a perfect morning to get some good B.O. (The workout site not the stench…duh), and 8 pax got a healthy dose (of possibly both). The start time arrived sooner than expected, or so it seemed, not sure why. Maybe it was the Q-drinaline I don’t know. At any rate, after the mission statement was given, and the Pledge was recited, we were off and running to the big fountain at the top of Academy St. [Read More]

Seeing Ausfahrt you might think “Wow, that guy is so lazy, he never runs anywhere”. But while lazy may be true for his personal hygene when it comes to working out the guy is tough as nails. Some of the newer guys may not know his story. Not long ago he was riding his motorcycle when he was hit by a truck (I think it was a half-ton truck, too! [Read More]

5 pax met up for another round of beatdown in DTC led by yours truly. Weather was hot, but certainly not unbearable at all. Even got to feel some nice breezes to boot. YHC had a plan together with some tempo that would work us and get some good sweat on. Only to find out at the start of the warm up that Town of Cary had some kind of something going on involving, among other things, a giant piece of plastic blocking the path of the first thang that was to take place.
