 Posted on September 15, 2017  |  5 minutes  |  867 words  |  

YHC tweeted last night that this would be a Q that will live in infamy. It would prove a portent of things to come. For, in a cosmic coincidence of epic proportions, both site Qs actually showed up at Danger Zone. I mean, when was the last time that happened? Has it ever happened? Did they recognize each other? Also, Sputnik posted for the first time since Chanticleer broke his wrist at BO. [Read More]

So I found out on Monday that 9/12 was National Day of Encouragement and that Chinese Downhill needing to switch so I had the Q! Must be God’s providence. Woke up to rain so plans changed a little. 8 guys started out and we headed up the Cary Parkway hill to the covered parking. Now for a little encouragement! My favorite verse on exhortation is Hebrews 3:13. “But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. [Read More]

After a GroupMe fartsack shaming on Tuesday - the day after the 9/11 stair climbs and only a couple of days removed from the BRR - when only a handful of CarPEX PAX posted, the boys showed up in force; from the looks of it, pert’neer 40 of them. We’ll count-a-rama later. After a round of fist bumps and a doo-rag tying lesson, it was time to roll. Let’s go! [Read More]

I Believe In Me

YHC knew that after last Friday’s inauguration of V-AO #SLIPPERYWHENWET, complete with breakfast buffet, espresso-wielding baristas, and custom-initialed bathrobes for all attendees, the expectations of the PAX would be high. Like sky-high. Like towering moonshot, fly-ball-to-the-warning-track high. And I’ll be honest, YHC was nervous to be the Q shouldering this burden. Had a little self-doubt. A little lack of self-belief. But then YHC remembered the wise words that may or may not have been famously uttered by Mr. [Read More]

It's Just a Little Mist

 Posted on August 29, 2017  |  4 minutes  |  734 words  |  

With the promise of possibly the first meaningful rain in a few months, I thought I should remind all of our newer guys that we workout whether it’s hot or cold, rain or shine. I mean, you haven’t lived until you’ve worked out in a driving rain or snowstorm. So I posted it on one of the dozens of GroupMe channels. And though it was just a little mist (welcome as it was) apparently that kept some folks at home - or at the gym. [Read More]
