YHC had the flag and the Q for Rush Hour but did not anticipate how bad Raleigh traffic is at 5:00. I roll-in to the AO 5 minutes late, AFTER A 50 MINUTE commute. Needless to say, I was steamed and frustrated to be late. Lucky for me, only PAX that posted was Captain Kirk. Since it was just the two of us lucky souls on a beautiful afternoon in DTC, I convinced the Captain to step up and lead the work-out.

 Posted on June 4, 2018  |  3 minutes  |  547 words  |  

The day before my Q at Hell’s Bells I asked the site Qs if running was discouraged. Neither Monkey Nut or Earhart responded, so I naturally assumed that meant running was a great idea. It’s not. I was instantly berated with a verbal assault from the first step. However, sticking to my plan, the later runs actually became a nice break from the punishing kettle bell workout we were experiencing. Crimson even thanked me for running and volunteered to run more if that meant he didn’t have to pick up his KB again. [Read More]

YHC is an admitted podcast addict. Sometimes the family gets a little tired of listening to ANOTHER podcast in the car. So I ran across a series of four podcasts done last year, hosted by Hollywood and featuring OBT and Dredd. They talked a lot about how F3 got it’s start and the 3 Fs. In one of the conversations Hollywood mentioned doing the Cooper, and of course I looked it up on the Exicon.
