Mexican Slayride*

It snuck up on me, but my 6-year anniversary of my first post is 6/15. I first posted at A-Team, at the urging of Hotspot, way back in 2015. You know he can be convincing… Crazy busy schedule these last few days, with 2.0 Zip Drive wrapping up his high school career, and all the celebrations that signal the end of one phase, and the beginning of another. But I saw that A-Team was Q-less, and, even with all the crazy in my life right now, could NOT pass up a chance to see if I could pull off another themed Q there. [Read More]

TP flyby

Today was really all about the warm up. And the fly-by. But more on that one bit later. First the warm-up. Rolled into Cornerstone church several minutes early and took a run over to the cemetery for some hill. Singular. Back just in time to grab the speaker, turn on some NIN radio, and greet the crew. No FNGs. Two FNG2M. Never met them before. Glad to know Jeter and Charmin. [Read More]

Do You Know Any Good Veterinarians?

It’s a beautiful morning at Downtown Train in beautiful downtown Holly Springs! Warm-Up Mosey over to the library and circle up for imperial walkers, Sir Fazios forward, cherry pickers, Sir Fazios backwards, copperhead merkins, calf stretches and copperhead squats. The Thang Mosey over to the rock pile and grab a rock that doesn’t have a copperhead under it, circle up for presses, tricep extensions, rows, squats and curls.

Patriotic Iron Sharpens Iron

Workout Date: 04/29/21 This is my third Carpex Q of the week (and fourth overall) as I try to force myself back into a regular posting schedule. This is also my third Cornerstone Church Q of the week, a great site for the no run/low run/coupon crowd. Like the pull up bars I had incorporated yesterday, the cinder blocks were on my mind for today. Warm Up: Give the mission statement, check for FNGs, give the disclaimer, and warm up: [Read More]

Cinco de Mayo de Sucko

Goal: Have fun and do some stupid stuff. The stupid stuff started early: The first thing that you should do when you Q is to show up early.

Yo no es professionale Y yo no tengo dinero [Read More]

The Thang Head over to the shelter for five rounds of 10 irkins, 10 dips, 10 step-ups and a lap around the pickle. [Read More]

Double Duty

51 is a lot different than 50 was last year. Just the situation - we are now back to getting after it in groups in the gloom. On April 15, 2020, we’d officially shut down group workouts. But one thing I wanted to keep the same. Do a Murph on my birthday. The day started with a run into Bounty Hunters, which depending on the route I choose is right about 3 miles. [Read More]

SLT Meeting: 4/6/21

It was Tuesday, April 6 in the year two thousand and twenty one at 0530. YHC peeled into the parking lot at the Bojangles on 64 next to the Toyota dealership. I was almost late. Rounding the corner, most of my peers were still outside getting ready to breach the doors of the restaurant. I knew a handful would get in line to grab coffee and a biscuit while the rest of the gentlemen waited until after our meeting. [Read More]
