Continued Odyessy Recovery

14 PAX gathered in the swampy pit of Marla Dorrel Park this July October morning. With the temp at 75 and the humidity at 132%, everyone worked up a good sweat walking from their cars to the shovel flag. Most were relatively early this morning, YHC assumed that spirits were high with anticipation. 5:45, time to crush the spirits. Warm-up: Jog around the parking lot, weaving the Target balls and then across the street to the shopping center parking lot. [Read More]

Got to keep things moving...

My wife was out late last night so I ended up staying up late too which made me a little nervous about the early morning Q. We had a good crowd when I got there and per usual Flouride showed up right on time with Midler right behind him. Then we were off. Warm Up Jog to the lake up to the amphitheater - SSH, GM, and WMH. Got a little mumble chatter so we headed around the lake. [Read More]

Big Lots

When: 9/20/2017 QIC: Pet Sounds The PAX: see below As SNS is my 2nd favorite site in F3Carpex (only behind Kryptonite obviously) I took this Q seriously.

Kryptonype

Yes, there were concerns, its September 18 and the Wolverine marketing machine had been working overtime for a few weeks. Creeping thoughts as I drove to Koka-Booth, am I going to be leading myself around the lake? But alas, nine Supermen and YHC were ready to go at 5:30. Only confirms, there is more then enough fun to go around Carpex for three workouts, even on a Monday! The Warmup [Read More]

What Sore Legs?

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]

"It's Good To Be Alive Today"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjELo3fmS-M Early this morning, before YHC laced up his brand-new sneakers, there was a post on GroupMe from the ‘Man’Tan himself, MaBell. MaBell reminded me of my mom, who always would call/send me a message the morning of someone’s birthday/anniversary: “hey sweetie, call ___________, it’s their birthday today”. Anyhoo, MaBell declared that today, August 30, was the official 4th anniversary of CarPex. He went on to praise some of the OGs of CarPex, and remind us to swell their heads for setting a foundation for what is soon to be 14-15 AOs across Cary-Apex. [Read More]

Lost...in Cary

After a very long hiatus from Carpex F3 posts, Hotspot egged me on by stating that he and Hasslehoff were doing an abbreviated Insomnia, followed by Vesper, and asked if I wanted him to take the Shovel Flag there for me. Smack. So YHC HC’d to the double down. After a brisk (7'45"/mi) 4+ miles, I wrung (is that a word?) out my shirt and knew I was in trouble. Had called the route for Vesper long as James Jackson, the hard way, last night on the Groupme. [Read More]

WHO NEEDS EDDY MONEY, WE HAVE Pink Floyd

Workout date: 08/14/17 QIC: Fluoride On the way to our warm up in front of Koko Booth, somewhere in the chatter I heard that Eddy Money had been playing at Koka Booth the night before. What a blast from the past, did not know he was still out there. I had another concert in mind as we began our workout, it involved not only music but lots of sweat and some pain. [Read More]
