Frog Weather

Last night the forecast called for Duck Weather: 50 degrees, 100% chance of rain, and 10+ mph winds. Sadly when YHC arrived Carpex’s newest Wednesday AO, it was Frog Weather: no rain and no winds, just a bunch of puddles. Warm-Up Mosey through the shopping center to a side lot and circle up for imperial walkers, cherry pickers, Sir Fazios, copperhead squats and copperhead merkins. Then Crimson led us in the longest one count Good Morning ever. [Read More]

Horseshoes

Overnight storms left the Ritter Park area wet and slippery, let’s see if we can make it through the beatdown with no injuries. Warm-Up Mosey across Kildaire Farm Road to the Retail Section and circle up for Good Mornings, imperial walkers, Sir Fazios, copperhead squats, copperhead merkins and three slippery mountain climbers. The Thang Mosey down to the greenway, through the tunnel and up to the top of the ramp. The lucky number of nails in a horseshoe is seven, so we’ll make seven horseshoes. [Read More]

A great start

I’ll be the first to admit that I did loose some sleep night before, I did end up rewriting my workout ideas multiple times, I did have some anxiety. And once we got rolling that morning I did suffer a bit from my winke. Mumble chatter was prominent, for certain. But I was warned. Despite all that after all was said and done it sure did feel good. What a great start. [Read More]

Finding Peace in Chaos

ECers: YHC, Michelob, Denali, Oofta, Chipper, Half, Term paper & RileyTheDog 5:45 Mosey to the parking lot near the shelter. Circle up for Good Mornings, Arm Circles, Steve Earles, SSH, Mnt Climbers.

Mosey to playground for 10x pullups and Merkins and hold Superman for an uncomfortable amount of time. [Read More]

Are We Gonna Do This The Whole Time?

Slippery When Wet - home of the EC run as well as where YHC completed week 1 of the 2019 IronPax Challenge. In celebration of how much that sucked the first time, we’re gonna do it again today. Several PAX did some kind of EC run, 2 PAX for EC pull-ups. At 0545, there were 15 gathered round the flag. First exercise, Pledge of Allegiance. Warm Up 2 laps around the pickle with some high knees and karaoke. [Read More]

#2247 - SWW 12/27/19

4 or 5 for 7800° EC run (including Term Paper completing the full EC run). 10 including YHC for the main event. A formal briefing was conducted at 0545 and we jogged up some stairs to a parking deck (yes, Cauliflower, there is a parking deck magnet that mysteriously draws a Q in). Circle up for a standard Shut-In warm-up with a break for 10 Burpees OYO. The word on the street was that this week’s record of LBCs stood at 480. [Read More]

Will Q for coffee!

Apex was decorated for Christmas, and YHC thought the PAX would enjoy seeing some of the lights. After moseying through DTA, we stopped at the RR station with the purty Christmas tree, all a-light (see what I did there?). Warm-up Sprinkler Windmill Steve Earle Sir Fazio Bonus Burpees Not to be caught napping, we mosey to our next location. YHC saw a path between buildings that looked okay but turned out to be kinda mucky. [Read More]

The Morning After

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]

365

So this was my first Q, was worried for a little while that no one would show, but luckily Adjacent showed up and then Earhart and Ninjago from a EC run so it was on. Its definitely different being on this side of the workout. I first started F3 six months ago and someone mentioned that you should start Qing after about six months (later found out I probably should have been doing this sooner) but that date happed to coincide with a pretty important personal anniversary for me, a goal I set a year ago so it seemed like fate.
