Danger Zone welcomed us with a deluge as March was determined to go out like a lion. If you don’t get that reference, look it up. I’ll wait…Anyway, YHC’s grand, beast-like plans were thwarted. Yeah, we could have run around the pickle and rolled around in it with some Superman - Bananas, but nah. Warm-Up Jog up and around by the basketball court and into the shelter. Perform a little Hot Spot-esque feng shui (again, I’ll wait…) with the tables to make room for the Thang. [Read More]

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]

Milestone birthday this week leads me to thinking back through the years, and about the important people who have been and will continue to be involved in my life. 22 PAX started the week off right at A-team this morning for a workout based around this theme. Warmup Fellowship jog to front parking lot 49 SSH ID (because not yet) 20 MC IC 20 Diamond Merkins 20 IW IC (with a little Hillbilly thrown in) Small group (3-4) Indian run to the back of the park Plank it out with some Shakira hip dips while everyone arrives The Thang [Read More]

It was Picture Day at Phoenix. Jenn, the FUMC chairwoman for the health ministry at FUMC, agreed to come out and take some pictures for an article she wants to write on F3. It turns out Jenn is also Burt’s spin class instructor. More on that later. With that backdrop, here’s what happeed: Warm-up After a circumnavigation of the parking lot consisting of runs, side shuffles, and backward runs, we circled up for [Read More]

YHC is working on his fitness and his #CarpexChallenge so after making sure his passport is valid he hit up the ole Q sheet and got on for DZ. Swung by and grabbed Open Out so we could take turns driving and let the other one sleep. I love road trips! Upon arrival we had to check our calendar. This was Friday, right!?! Empty lot. Soon enough the PAX rolled in. [Read More]

YHC gets a bit giddy for a Q at BO. Afterall, it is the very finest AO in CARPex and may well be in the great state of North Carolina. It also has the best site Q’s and site Q emeriti. There really isn’t much negative you can find in this gem and the men that come to this hallowed ground know it. Its been a while since the Ripper has Q’d, as he has allowed the other men to led the PAX here more recently. [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]

Q: Franklin So - who decided we always needed to run some before the warm up - not this Q.
