Paraphrasing, his response was essentially “Freed to Lead, brother.” All righty then. Let’s see what sort of IR side dish can be cooked up to go along with Red Ryder’s BO beatdown. Note: you can read all about that part of the workout, including COT here. [Read More]

Bruisers stroll with their KB Buddy

YHC/QIC called a Bruisers workout for Phoenix yesterday to see if there was any interest. @Disco Duck HC, so it was on. DD mentioned he had KBs we could use.

I decided we can become close friends with our KB buddy all the while enjoying the blissful views of Bond Park. [Read More]

Bruisers with a side of Vesper

YHC woke up not so bright but very early this fine morning at 4:24a, a good 30 minutes before my alarm. I took that as a sign to give Insomnia EC run a try. I was a bit intimidated by the 9 min/mile pace but was shocked to complete the 4.0 miles in 36 minutes flat. A record to try to improve on next time. After the run I met up with Disco Duck and Pulley for a bruiser side workout at SNS. [Read More]
