The Murph

The day immediately following a Maynard Run is usually reduced attendance, and today is no different. Six HIMs felt the call and posted regardless! Gorgeous weather this morning, and I wasn’t the only one still nursing minor aches and pains from yesterday’s Maynard. 7:15, time to start. No FNGs, so two brief laps around the pickle followed by a quick Warm-Up 20 SSH 5 Good Mornings 20 Merkins OMD 20 Squats OMD The Murph! [Read More]

She's a good girl...

…as long as she squats. Just ask Smokey. Any who… 15 pax deep for YHC’s return to FWD. Been a minute since I’ve been at the second darkest AO in all of Carpex. A stellar mission statement, short disclaimer and we’re off. Warm-up: Over to the pickle lot for agility weave thru the balls (giggidy) and circle up for GM, SSH, Imperial Walker, EWalkers and quick feet/merkins on the curb [Read More]

#HelloBrother

YHC went to a multi faith prayer vigil at Broughton high school with 2.1 in remembrance of those killed in the mass shooting in Christchurch New Zealand. One of the speakers was Farris Barakat, brother to Deah Shaddy Barakat, a second year dental student at UNC, who was murdered 2-10-15 at his home in Chapel Hill. Farris shared the story of the Muslim man, Daoud Nabi, at the mosque in Christchurch. [Read More]

Twas a starry night in the gloom which was ideal to bring on some Thunderstruck!

Date: 3/18/2019 QIC: WWW AO: A Team PAX: 15 For some reason, Sky Q forgot to turn on the heater. Albeit being a crisp / brisk morning, it was a blessing to be out there leading the PAX in the workout. Sooey graced us with his presence to get his walk in. Sooey is da Man because he did not wait long to get back out in the gloom. There is always one or two PAX that would not mind taking a walk with him. [Read More]
