Five HIM gathered in the hustle and bustle that is Rush Hour for 45 minutes of sweat & fellowship. Warm Up Mosey from the flag to the circle across from Ashworth’s. Along the way we paint some lines. Once there, we complete the requisite reps of SSHs, Hill Billies, Cotton Pickers, Sir Fazio both ways, Plank Jacks, and then 10 Merkins on YHC’s down and up. The Thang Mosey back past the flag to the parking deck. [Read More]

Care and feeding of a Crazy Train

It was hot. No, seriously, it was hot. And the train was late. And there was a Pimento Cheese street festival bearing down on us like an ill names Hurricane in June. So as you can see, it was the perfect CATSUP. Disco, Dice, and I posted at Phoenix for a Kitty beat down. After an excellent beat down, we circled up and made sure we we had coolers, water, sports drinks and fruit. [Read More]

Lifesaver: A thing that saves one from serious difficulty, a ring-shaped life preserver, a piece of candy. AKA: Disco Duck, Yoga Mat and Dice! The Thang: 12 Pax Met at Bradford’s Ordinary 6/9 at 0745. Scratch that the train is delayed (of course), make it 0845.

Crazy(ish) Phoenix

Posted on June 11, 2018 | 2 minutes | 380 words |

Banjo hit the Pax with news of his trip to the IR and naturally YHC jumped on the chance to Q Carpex’s premiere AO on a Saturday morning. And with the boys headed out for Crazy Train, we had to get a good beatdown in, in their honor as well. Fellowship run at 0605 (sorry Chipper who had been waiting since 0545 chomping at the bit) and the rest of the Pax arrive on-time for a 0630 start. [Read More]

Crazy(ish) Phoenix Breakaway Limited Run/Walk Extravaganza - 6/9/18

Posted on June 11, 2018 | 3 minutes | 533 words |

Sorry for a late backblast but I wanted to piggy-back off the original title. Here is the B.B. for the limited run/walk extravaganza breakaway led by YHC while the other 20 HIMs head out with @Hello Kitty after the warm-ups. Kitty was right. YHC led the mosey (limited run) back to the starting point to pick up some coupons (kettle bells) that @EarharT left behind for us … thanks EarharT for the suggestion earlier in the week.

The Thang Line up at the first island for double sevens. Run to the far island and do twelve merkins, run back and do two squats. [Read More]

Against the Wind

YHC asked about the Dante’s Peak mileage record last week. An innocent question, and not expected to turn into a thing. But since Sooey had the Q the week before me, he took it as a challenge and ran us 3.3 miles. Now it’s up to YHC to top that. Let’s see how we did. Warm-Up Mosey over to end of the parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, hillbillies, copperhead squats, planks jacks and copperhead merkins. [Read More]
