Workout Date: 04/29/21 This is my third Carpex Q of the week (and fourth overall) as I try to force myself back into a regular posting schedule. This is also my third Cornerstone Church Q of the week, a great site for the no run/low run/coupon crowd. Like the pull up bars I had incorporated yesterday, the cinder blocks were on my mind for today. Warm Up: Give the mission statement, check for FNGs, give the disclaimer, and warm up: [Read More]

Cougar Town, 30-40 make 70's

 Posted on April 13, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  625 words  |  

The idea for this Q came from my curiosity on whether there is actually a definition of being a cougar. Reliable, first-page Google hits assure that there is, indeed. The possibility of being a cougar begins at 40 years old, with a typical 10 year gap, thus making the average cub a barely-escaped hate at 30 (coincidentally also YHC’s age). Less than 2% of US relationships meet this definition, so if you, gentle reader, are one of them, you are one of the few, the proud, the cradle-graved. [Read More]

So…recently trying to get back in the swing of things, Piranha Park has become a new favorite. I’ve still not had a single drop of Vicious Fishes brews, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Piranha Joe’s offerings. This has become a “go for the 1st F so I can enjoy the 2nd and 3rd F” workouts. The call went out from Peeping Tom on Thursday afternoon…and it sat there for just a little bit before YHC picked it up. [Read More]

No Mamby Pamby Here

 Posted on March 29, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  436 words  |  

On a rare weekend at home, Earhart put out the call there was no Q for Piranha Park. YHC quickly snapped it up. EC and pain options abound at Apex Nature Park, even though the AO has to start so late to allow Cheddar Bo Jr the chance to unlock the cot dang gate. Anyway, remembering an OTB EC run we did a few months ago in from Vicious Fishes then back again afterward, I decided to resurrect it. [Read More]

I’ve been enjoying the “limited” run bootcamps – Tortoises, Tin-2-Iron, Hells Bells – as I need to limit my miles while still getting out with you men. Was thinking of something new to try & decided to give it a go with the men of Tortoises this very gloomy but warm morning. Here’s how it went down ….. The gathering: My GBB & wheelman today, Flacco & I came into the lot hot as our little neighborhood carpool hit a snag kind of like a container ship in a canal. [Read More]
