Over 70 Pax showed up for the Odyssey only two days ago, and after six AO’s and 11.5 miles of total distance covered….rest assured there would be some sore pax by this morning. Would it be possible to hit a muscle group that wouldn’t be sore already? Let’s see….. Wait, what tha hell is this hard clear stuff on my windshield?!?!?! Frost?! Weather channel said 36 degrees!!!! After the truck warmed up enough to get that melted, I headed to the AO for a little EC Odyssey recovery run with Ollie. [Read More]

Ever since I attended my first themed workout, I knew that is the way I wanted to go when I started Q’ing. I believe it was a Hello Kitty Q themed on the college football playoffs, nothing fancy, but it was never the less, inspirational. However, a time comes in every man’s life where he has to embrace change and also that time was Sunday night where he hasn’t come up with a theme and needs to go to bed, hence my first vanilla Q.

18 of Carpex’s finest HIMs arrived in the finally crisp fall morning hours at North Cary Park for a Doogie VQ adventure. Mumblechatter was at its finest with Burt in tow especially after I gave him free reign to speak his mind since he named me 4 months ago at Wolverine (spoiler alert). Unfortunately for Burt he needed to be reigned back in only a few minutes later… After a nice jog around the pickle we completed the following: [Read More]

Pre-Blast This being my virgin Q and my first time at SNS, I truly appreciate all the support and advice from the PAX. Special thanks go to Angry Elf for the pep talk the night before and for planning the Thang with the pain sticks. I do wish I had made it to Q school. It is amazing how much I didn’t pick-up naturally from two months of just doing the workouts. [Read More]

So a little less than 5 Months ago in May, an overweight, really out of shape FNG wandered up to Rush Hour. I was welcomed warmly by Old Maid and Disco Duck, and Riptide showed up to lead the Pax at 17:45. We went to the parking deck and ran the stairs with pain sticks and baked on the top deck of the parking deck. Now I am less overweight and less out of shape so in honor of that work out we would not be going to the parking deck or getting close to pain sticks… [Read More]

In the fourth and final installment of Flaccoversary Week 2018, YHC’s eyes were a little bigger than his stomach. We stepped up to a buffet of Wolverines and put a few more on our plate than we could stomach. More on that later, for now you just need to know that 16 HIM gathered at Bond Park ready to cap the week with a Flacco-style beatdown. Which is sure to include some yoga. [Read More]
