Who the $&#@ Invented Meatloaf Anyway?

If you wake up at 04:50, hear the rain hitting the side of the house, and don’t think about fart-sacking, we can’t be friends. But one way to resist the urge is to be signed up to Q. Out of bed and head over to A-Team to get in a quick 2 mile EC run before the Main Event. Eleven other marginally disturbed HIMs are there with YHC for what they will later learn is a mini-Meatloaf’s Massacre, otherwise known as the 2019 week 2 IronPax workout. [Read More]

Q-Swap Week 1, Day 1 Who says you can't go home

Posted on January 6, 2020 | 2 minutes | 325 words |

Or as Frisco, said, YHC left Carpex for a younger, hotter region Q. When I saw the Q swap sheet go up, I jumped on A-Team, as it was a place I had not Q’s when I was working out with Carpex and a favorite. I knew it was going to be a big crowd, and it was. I was excited to get going, so YHC forgot to check for FNG’s. [Read More]

15 PAX gathered in the sub-freezing temps at Hunter Street park, not aware of the history that would be made today.

Warm Up Keep warm mosey to get the legs moving, Pledge of Allegiance and circle up at the skate park for a standard round of SSHs, Moroccan Night Clubs, Seal Claps, Steve Earles, Plank Jacks and CFMs. [Read More]

Holiday Party SZN

Posted on December 5, 2019 | 4 minutes | 784 words |

9 gloom-warriors joined YHC for some holiday fun around DTC. I threw out an invitation on slack for the gents to wear their favorite ugly xmas sweater, with the best(worst) dressed winning a door prize (which would have been a single 12oz bottle of Cold Mountain). Alas, I was the only jackass to dress up for the occasion. Oh well, not the first time I’ve looked like an idiot, and certainly won’t be the last. [Read More]

Enough rollin' in my 5.0 ...

Ah, Thanksgiving. Family, food, football. And, if you are like me and my family, lots and lots of travel. With brothers and sisters spread out across the U.S. (and abroad) hosting Thanksgiving at home is a once-every-few-years affair. The rest of the time, it means a flight or a drive. This year, it was drive. And since no one wants to travel 800 miles only to turn around and head back 48 hours later, we saved the return till the last moment. [Read More]

Triple D Dora

This was just the most interesting picture of Miss Dora I found on the Googles. 23 PAX showed up on a brisk Monday morning to shake off the rust from the weekend and perhaps sweat out a few toxins. YHC, along with Two Factor and Sooey, took a little 2 mile EC jaunt prior to the ME. No FNGs, somewhat of a disclaimer and mission statement, recited the pledge and we were off. [Read More]

Thank you for your service....

Posted on November 12, 2019 | 4 minutes | 680 words |

It may seem like a a cliche that we have heard constantly since 9/11. Some think it’s overused, some people don’t even think twice about it, but to some, this thank you does have value. It has meaning. It is recognition of a young person’s decision to step up into the unknown, to see if they have what it takes to serve in the armed forces. There are many sacrafices made by our young men and woman that have made the decisions to step up and serve. [Read More]
