In case you haven’t heard BRR is coming up soon. Like next week soon. Like you won’t have to hear about it anymore for a while soon. Many, many moons ago Hermes suggested we all take Q’s this week and do running/hill repeat type work outs which we were all enthusiastic about signing up for. Come today and YHC forgot that he signed up to Q FWD. Fortunately someone was kind enough to ask me what we were doing that day which started the conversation of how I was the Q today and so on and so on. [Read More]

A lovely morning for a workout! We have been truly blessed the last three days with some fabulous weather!!! Roughly 60 degrees this morning, with pretty high humidity. The preblast indicated this would not be a Blue Ridge Relay training workout and while there WOULD be running, it would not be a run-centric workout. Turns out, we still managed a little over three miles…… Bayonne, Biner, PBX, and I met for some EC hill repeats at 5:45 and ran a little over 30 minutes on the High House hill, joined about 3/4 into the run by Snots and Chipper.

AO: Phoenix August 18, 2018 Keeping with the mid-August pain pticks theme, and not to be outdone by Bluewater’s Death by Dora mini-Murph at Slippery When Wet yesterday, YHC and Build-a-Bear dutifully planted a minefield of concrete and PVC for a lovely morning’s fun. Site Q Texas Ranger led a pack of 4 HIM’s for the EC run (+ Ollie, Sosa & Chipper - who had a rare Saturday M-pass to join us).

AO: A-Team August 13, 2018 Stepping in late last night to sub for an injured Pet Sounds, YHC posted what innocently turned out to be a somewhat misinformed plan for a Route 66 around the lake. Shout out to Sosa for warning of construction and related obstructions. Upon arrival and inspection of this particular AO (YHC’s first posting there), it was decided by a committee of one to modify. And, it being Monday the 13th, why not play in the parking lot with that number.

Today is my 1-Year F3 Anniversary!!!! First post was a year ago today at Flirtin’ with Disaster. Funny story about that…… Blue Water EH’d me, but due to a mix-up, I posted in Carpex and he posted in South Wake. Joe Smith was was the Q that morning. It was his VQ, and I learned who “Dora” is, and how to get to the “Bridge of Pain.” Sosa and I were both named after COT.

July 17, 2017. I ventured out a boy in search of Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. I found it at the Monday site, Kryptonite. Here we are one year later, YHC leading the PAX for my 1 year Anniversary at Flirtin With Disaster. Quick awkward intro to the PAX and we are off. Your leader/guide/q for the morning….

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” We were all created equal, and these 17 HIMs met in the early morn on this Independence Day Eve 2018 to fight gravity and humidity in an effort to better themselves, and their fellow man. With several pax heavily anticipating the 1776 convergence tomorrow morning, the objective today was the keep the pax moving, and spread the workout focus without overemphasizing any particular body part.

YHC had the idea of doing a mini beast and 7s and so it just grew from there… Warmup: SSW (Signature Shut-In Warmup) Thang 1 - 6s: Mini Beast (6 laps of 3 exercises performed 6 times each) - 6 Merkins, 6 Pull Ups, 6 Monkey Humpers (run a lap) x 6 Thang 2 - 7s: Sprints / Hand Release Merkins Thang 3 - 8s: Shelter Work - This was supposed to be 2 sets of 4 exercises (= 8s) but the group was so chatty I said, let’s keep going!
