Posted on May 29, 2019 | 2 minutes | 358 words |

26 HIMs posted the fine morning of Saturday, May 25th first the first of my Birthday week Q’s. Technically, my birthday falls next week but with Memorial Day and Century Day, my Q possibilities were limited. It was warm, humid, some might even say a bit moist outside for this workout. I had to make it warmer! Warmup: 20 SSH 20 Imp Walkers 10 Good Mornings Runner Stretch Partner up for Catch Me If You Can through the woods to the rock pile doing 5 Merkins each time your partner catches you. [Read More]

ShutIn let me know that he had to abandon his Q last night. I was prepared with a great beatdown and even pre-blasted a last minute Q change to get PAX interested. But when Yogi arrived, storming in from his EC run, he enthusiastically (is Yogi ever anything except enthusiastic?) asked to take over the Q. We hadn’t seen him at Tortoises in a couple of months and he was more than excited to lead us. [Read More]

"Are we doing that Clock Thingy Workout?"

So this is the fourth time I’ve pulled out this workout, but It has yet to get a name that has stuck. Term Paper remembered it and yelled out the above quote as we did our warm up run, but I don’t think Clock Thingy Workout is the one. Today I Googled “Circle of Fitness” and two things happened. First, this random guy’s image came up, and two, I saw something that read “Wheel of Fitness. [Read More]

Flirtin' with The Murph

Posted on May 17, 2019 | 2 minutes | 250 words |

Hi-Liter asked me to step in for the FWD Q this week, I was honored! Leading up to the Q, I thought to myself, What would Hi-Liter do? I figured it had been at least 4 or 5 days since his last Murph, so it must be time for another Murph, right?! But the famous Memorial Day Murph convergence is right around the corner. Now FWD is strategically placed .5 miles from Cary’s flagship pedestrian bridge, which is irresistible to YHC with the Q. [Read More]

I pulled my first Riptide on my last Q and never wrote the back blast for FMJ where I earned by first Q-zie. I am also hi-jacking one back blast to write about another AO briefly. I feel like I am committing all the sins of Carpex at once…okay I feel absolved for my sins - I said 3 Our Fathers and ran 3 Miles. Was looking forward to my first Q at Kryptonite and had put some thought into what I wanted to do. [Read More]

Men, Two years ago today I showed up in the F3 Carpex Gloom at the invite of my fraternity brother, Jamie “Repeato” Roseborough. I had been back in North Carolina for about eight months and things were going well. I was getting in workouts about three days a week in the gym and crushing a strong 2-3 mile solo run on the weekend. Things were fine, right? Wrong. Something was still missing, and as they say, you now know the rest of the story. [Read More]
