Accountability - sign up for the Q slot after a long week out of town to ensure that you post. Accountability revisited - repeat of before, so why not repeat the workout. Hard to believe that we did this back in February 2018 the first time. There were several modifications though since was my first running Q after recovery and with Green Mile down the road our hi tempo guys had an additional option. [Read More]

Eighteen PAX gathered this swampy moonlit morning at Carpex’s original limited-run AO, Tortoises. With the Dark of All Helmets fan club gathering happening over at SNS, YHC was very pleased with the turnout. Disco Duck and Frisco were already doing some EC, alternating intervals runs and pull-ups. YHC started to caution them that they might regret that later, but decided they would find out soon enough. No FNGs, but practice makes perfect, so let’s run through the disclaimer anyway. [Read More]

The Slack- and Twitter-spheres were abuzz for the first 75% of yesterday which led to a steep dropoff - all pointing to some unproblematic numbers for the 5th of July. Our suspicions were confirmed!

Pause at the corner for Good Mornings, then turn onto Apex Barbeque back into the park for warmups consisting of IW / SM / CS / SFAC,OC,rSFAC,MN / CP. [Read More]

Pre-Blast 16 HIM pushed themselves to their personal limits at HB as part of the 11th of 19 Murphs in 2019. So proud of these guys…everyone was gassed on the last mile. It takes a lot of courage and discipline to push yourself that way. Just awesome. #StrongerBacksStrongerHearts Warmup Because CheddarBo slept in and the gate was locked, we launched from the lower lot. After reciting the Pledge at the Flag, each man grabbed a kettle bell and slow jogged to the pull-up bars. [Read More]

Filling in for the legendary @www is no easy task. Prepped the workout and all plans are in place. Until Texas Ranger posts on slack “might not be enough cinders”. When I showed up on site and ran quickly to see the cinder count, I thought I should be good with about 10 or so Pax standing around and roughly 9 min to “go time”. But… cars continued to roll in and by the time we began it was 19 solid HIMs waiting for some fun. [Read More]
