Beautiful morning in downtown Cary this morning - Burt showed up in full golf attire to celebrate the first Thursday of the Masters (John Daly shorts, Footjoys, putter, etc.) He looked good - but later on learned that footjoys are not the best running shoes. Pleasantries exchanged, Coney gave a quiet disclaimer to our FNG, Nantan started barking about the time so we were off. YHC shot down the road like he was out of a cannon, around the corner.

A bold PAX of 25 posted this AM. As Coxswain came cruising in at 05:44:59, the PAX proceeded to the newly erected Town of Cary downtown park fountain and circled up around the fountain. The men were blown away at its beauty and the Q drowned out by its constant flow of running water. Warm-Up: 20 Merkins 10 Good Mornings 20 Side straddle hops The roar of the fountain was so intense that the Q had to audible off of his invisible wenke and ordered the PAX to Academy street for an Indian Run/Hunt for the rock pile.

Within days after turning 49 last year, I started hearing questions like, “Are you still 49?”, and “Shouldn’t you be 50 by now?” Contrary to McCants’ accusations, I have not been 49 for 3 years. Well, 49 no longer. 24 PAX showed up at SnS today to join in the 50th birthday Q celebration. It went something like this: Warm up Fellowship jog to lower parking lot 50 Merkins (because 50) 50 Hillbilies, IC 10 Good Mornings, IC 20 Mountain Climbers, IC Thang 1 [Read More]

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8E8MDObXBg[/embed] The Interwebs are full of “ruck 101” posts.. why start another one? Great question. The answer probably lies somewhere between hubris and helpfulness. You be the judge. Anyway, here are my thoughts. First.. Why? Why in the world should I do one of these? It sounds awful. 12 hours of being beat-down? No thanks. It’s not about that. It’s about you, contributing to your team. It’s about the people to your left and right. [Read More]

24 PAX, YHC forgot one in the list, thanks to Term Paper for the assist! On this date in 1781 the British astronomer William Herschel discovered … well you had to be there. Remind me to ask Sky Blue about this British discovery. I don’t guess I knew it was that old. Seems like you would need a good telescope to be able to see it from that distance. Cheddar Bo was once again late for the workout, which required a long jog to warm up. [Read More]
