YHC was truly impressed with all the CARPex crazies talking EC last night on the MC Groupme channel. Between Insomnia, EC Ruck, OTB in South Wake and Pittsboro — and a Tortoise Challenge from @f3earhart — was anyone going to Post at the Utopia that is the unofficial Wednesday CARPex convergence? As @flipflopcarpex and YHC rolled into the parking lot, the answered seemed to be “no”. Lots of dark, homogenic, exhaust-spewing vehicles but little cold breath to be seen. [Read More]

It’s 05:20 and I’m pulling into Regency Park wondering what have I gotten myself into? I’m a tortoise, I’m a clydesdale, I got no business posting at Kryptonite, much less Q’ing. Is this going to be a huge success, like the Titanic movie? Or a huge disaster, like the Titanic boat? Let’s find out. Warm-Up Take a left on Regency and mosey down to the parking lot on the left, circle up for side straddle hops, then find some curb for quick feet, curb plank jacks, curb mountain climbers and curb merkens.

Warm-Up (read more about the real warm-up at the bottom) Hello Kitty leads the men down to the lower parking lot for Side Santa Hops, Cranberry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Sir Fazio, Quick Feet and Curb Erkins. The Thang YHC takes over and leads the men through the Disco Kitty version of 12 Days of Christmas. Here’s the last verse. On the 12th day of Christmas my Q love gave to me [Read More]

June 2nd, 2017, YHC is having an early afternoon HH (I know you’re all shocked!) with a few old friends, when one of them says “Hey, what are you doing tomorrow morning?”. Of course, I was planning to do what I always do on Saturday mornings, sleep! This Saturday would be different. I woke up at 6 am…and hit the snooze. Woke up again at 6:20 and this time I managed to get myself out of bed. [Read More]

Tortoises is supposed to be a “limited run” AO. So be it. But have you ever seen a really motivated tortoise move very quickly, for just a short distance. No? Shut up. Yes you have. Tortoises move quickly quickly in small defined spaces. That is what we do TODAY. With a little baseball theme. 9 PAX took the challenge on this gloomy morning. Warm Up SSH (Nature Boy-style if you dare) Cotton pickers Sir Fazio arm circly things HillBillies Pre Thang [Read More]

I pulled in to the parking lot at Salem Pond Park excited about my first Q at Full Metal Jacket. Banjo was there, McCants was there, I knew we had to do some burpees. Warm-Up Mosey across the parking lot and circle up for some side straddle hops, imperial walkers, plank jacks and ten burpees OYO. The Thang Mosey over to the grass hill next to the flag for Jacob’s ladder. [Read More]

14 HIM gathered at the well-lighted Apex Nature Park to start their weeks off right. Started with a brief jog into one parking lot (where the PAX got a little confused as Hot Spot broke off from the group for his solo run through the woods) for the warmup (SSH, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Overhead Clap, Mountain Climbers, Cotton Pickers). Mosey across the street to the larger parking lot to construct (and deconstruct) some BLIMPS (5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, 30 Squats) as follows.

Warm-Up Mosey around the parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, imperial walkers, cotton pickers, an attempt at Sir Fazio arm circles that was derailed by Hermes’s counting and YHC’s laughter, followed by ten penalty burpees. The Thang Mosey out of the park and down to the Crescent Green parking lot for Paula Abdul. The plan was to travel around the perimeter of the parking lot by moving two steps (light poles) forward, one step (light pole) back, but YHC failed to communicate the instructions clearly at the beginning.

Today was the first cold morning we’ve had that didn’t feel cold. It felt crisp. YHC didn’t question my decision to leave the fartsack for the gloom, I just enjoyed the time spent with my brothers. Warm-Up Take a lap around the parking lot and circle up for some side straddle hops, hill billies, cotton pickers, Sir Fazio arm circles, and since Nature Boy showed up late we did ten burpees.
