Cycles of 3

5 Pax and 1 K9 Pax made it out to another great winter’s evening in downtown Cary. Or, I guess you could say (un)winter, cause the weather was great and temperatures remained nicely in the 60s pretty much all day. There may have even been a momentary thought of letting the routine of “feet in the fountain” make a return. But that’s only for summer time for obvious reasons. Plus, if this is what winter is going to be like, then we’re definitely going to need that routine when summer actually does arrive… [Read More]

Wet n Wild

We welcomed FNG Grant, newly relocated from Birmingham. Many dedicated HIM arrived for my 2nd Q. Glad to help McCants. And as he peacefully remained in the fart sack we grittily said our Pledge to our Flag. Immediately our warm up run began…and so did the chatter…5 burpees with the fellas. Ran to warmup in this warm weather, SSHs, Prisioner um…Sumo Squats, one other and off we went. Still too dry as we continued our run I decided to slow us down for Paint the Lines, backwards mostly, in Cary’s Biggest Parking Lot. [Read More]

Rush Hour Racoon

Backblast for my VQ, so I guess this is my VBB. As I was reviewing the extensive F3 Exicon for exercises/routines for my VQ, I saw the Racoon Crawl. I knew I had to incorporate that into the Q. So the whole Q was built around doing that exercise. There are a lot of animal crawls, walks, etc. That’s for another Q. No FNG’s, No Disclaimer, Mission, Pledge. Warm Up: [Read More]

RIP Mamba...

I am not the biggest basketball fan, but I am a sports fan. The tragic passing of Kobe Bryant as well as his 13 year old daughter and the other 7 people on the helicopter that crashed transcends basketball and sports all together. I played JV basketball in 10th grade (the only year I ever played in high school) and I vividly remember that I wore Kobe’s shoes that season. [Read More]

We Have Liftoff

AO Launch Day. YHC was a bit nervous about attendance because there had been zero Slack hype for this event during the lead up. Despite that fact, a lot of folks somehow showed up to be part of the emergence from stealth mode. YHC knew something major was afoot when Ma Bell decided to again venture into “the eastern regions of his former kingdom” for not only the ME but an EC run taboot.

Peace at SWW / Crazy sheet abroad

YHC loves his annual (less if it can be avoided) trips to AOs below Route 1 but the Friday ones are doubly special. Once a DZ’er, always a DZ’er after all. But with the holiday-ish week upon us and the 2.0s not yet in school, tis the time to commit to a 20+ minute commute and see how the other half lives. And boy is it a different world down here in Car-ner Springs. [Read More]
