Monday- Funday!

23 HIM strong in the very moist & gloomy Wolverine – so much for the bright sunshine post time change. T-Claps for 2 FNGs coming out in the rain – nice start! We started with the pledge of allegiance at the flag. Cross Davis to the west sidewalk & head up to the middle school - started the warm up in the front, but moved to the back to avoid the garbage truck… [Read More]

Twas The Day Before Halloween

And all through the park creatures were stirring and leaving their mark. “Has there ever been a rhyming backblast?” He said with a grin. All those laps on the field made my head spin. It was dark, cold and wet! and somewhere Frisco was thinking “what else can I drink for a bet?” We got up, got dressed and then had a good morning, then took towards the summit without proper warning.

The Mag Mile

A beautifully clear day at Wolverine. 5:30 in the morning - 50 degrees. Moon is clear and stars are out. Had an aggressive plan for this morning, but 31 PAX showed up for a beatdown, so I had to adjust. I had planned for a Track & Field event, but ended up with only the track - well, I have my next Q tee’d up. We ran The Magnificent Mile - Nicknamed “The Mag Mile”.

DRP - Decisions

#DRP Proverbs 25:28 - Like a city whose walls are broken through is a man who lacks self control We each made the conscience decision to take the Red Pill - resolving to do what is hard and true, over what is easy. Each day we make 1000s of decisions, some of which set the course for our lives. Your first decision today was not easy, its raining, its cold, but you knew that through this effort you would be incrementally more than you were yesterday. [Read More]

Chilly Mini-Cooper

I have to admin it was quite chilly this morning but 12 PAX braved the colder temperatures to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the finest site in NW Cary on Thursday. I am sure the PAX would have preferred Clementine’s Q but since he had an unfortunate accident last weekend on the Odyssey YHC took over the lead spot. Get better soon buddy! We all arrived early so it was tempting to take off before 5:45 but I thought Trike might come in on two wheels but he never showed up so off we went. [Read More]

Welcome to DanKryptoPeak

It wasn’t my intention of running a Kryptonite-style workout the day before Odyssey but from the mumble chatter, that’s what it turned out to be. I debated what I should do for today’s Q and what I didn’t want to be sore tomorrow, so I was hoping this was the right choice. According to some, I failed. PAX of 1 (YHC) for an EC run PAX of 4 for EC pull-ups. [Read More]

Sometimes Vanilla is the Right Flavor

Ever since I attended my first themed workout, I knew that is the way I wanted to go when I started Q’ing. I believe it was a Hello Kitty Q themed on the college football playoffs, nothing fancy, but it was never the less, inspirational. However, a time comes in every man’s life where he has to embrace change and also that time was Sunday night where he hasn’t come up with a theme and needs to go to bed, hence my first vanilla Q.
