Kettlebell Clock of Pain

Well, appears something going on with the fields and the regular spot that we normally meet because the gate in is locked. We decide to head to the nature park up the street because for some reason that gate is open. Gather the HIM and head over, parking in the very back near the shelter. Hop out and see this great circle that just shouts for some sort of pain. First-up though, we need to mosey to the front of the parking area for: [Read More]

Limited Running

The Hi-Literversary Week and the Disco Duck Birthday Week overlapped, giving two brothers an opportunity to co-Q Phoenix, the greatest Saturday AO in all of Carpex.

Keep Pushing

I don’t know what’s going on with the weather this week. It’s spring, but it’s snowing.

One FNG, disclaimer is given, let’s get the blood moving and warm these boys up.

Tribute to the CHAMP

YHC got some sad news on Friday that one of my college buddies, Brian Champ, was admitted to ICU at UNC hospitals with a terminal condition. I went to visit him on Sunday morning and it really hit me hard to see him like this; knowing that barring a miracle, he would probably never wake up. It also troubled me a lot that we really hadn’t been in contact much over the past decade. [Read More]
