Pre-Blast 10 HIM joined YHC for 2.5ish miles at FWD to do some work. YHC refused to call anything even closely resembling a burpee. YHC succeeded.

Before circling up, perform 40 Quick Feet, Paint the Lines, and 100 Curb Dips. Circle up for: GM, Windmills, Cotton Pickers … and SirFazios until YM gets tired. [Read More]

Although it was the earliest AO on the schedule for the day, the forecast said it was not the coldest at the start. So we had that going for us. And a quick shout out to Hermes who was so concerned that I was lost as I drove past the parking lot to scout out a location, that he walked up the hill to the road to make sure I made it back safe and on-time.

Little late here in writing this BB….sorry folks! Tuesday, 11/20. 17 HIMS met up at FWD for a morning full of fun, some, 1, still wearing Pajamas. But I am no fashion police. Quick intro to the PAX and we are off. WARMUP Quick jog from the parking lot, to the first playground. Dang its dark. First fail of the morning and we are only a minute in. I did a recon the day before and thought, why don’t we use this first playground?

It was several weeks ago at Full Metal Jacket when some Q (I’ll just say Hi Liter or Riptide to cover my bets) called 7’s and in a very respectful and diplomatic way, Callahan screamed out from the PAX that we’re doing them wrong. He continued that 7’s were not just shorter versions of 11. He then grabbed his ball and went home. Being a good person, I wanted to make sure he was ok so I reached out to him and asked him what he meant and how could I make things right. [Read More]

Wow - love these 530 starts 25 minutes away…. or not. However, it is always a pleasure to lead and this morning was know exception. We started with 15, ended with 15 and had 16 during our mid workout count o rama. Many people that I haven’t seen at all or in a while - that is why it is great to travel. YHC looked through the last several backblasts before his Q at FWD - and noted that they only seemed to a) go to the bridge, b) go across the road to the office park or c) run up and down the Cary Park hill - so my primary goal was to do something different.

It was a glorious morning at FWD. Build-a-Bear set out for a solo EC 4 miler at 4:50 while Chipper, Lite Brite & Yoga Mat set out for a nice fellowship 2 miler at 5:05. All were back to the flag at 5:30 to be joined by 8 other PAX and the 12 of us begin the search for light. Olsen was also there today but I can’t seem to find him on Slack.

AO: Slippery When Wet QIC: Bayonne October 26,2018 Weather forecast: Seriously gloomy… rain and 44 degrees. Perfect weather for a trip to Lochmere Pavilion. 5 HIM rallied for the default 0510 EC fellowship run ‘round Symphony Lake to warm up, while the other 11 pax emerged from the sack. 8:06 average for 3.1 with Chipper and Joe Smith felt fast… until compared to Denali and Chanticleer, who apparently lapped us.

So it is another fine day in southern Cary and how else should we start other than with nice cold 5:30am exercise with 12 PAXs. Warm Up It was cold, well at least I was, so we ran from flag toward park and did two laps so we would not be too cold during warm up. Then we started with 12 Good Mornings because the Q was having trouble breathing and counting at the same time and did not know when to stop.
