1/24/18 - TheMaynard and some clean feet

Posted on January 24, 2018 | 2 minutes | 356 words |

Well there were about 8 or 9 HC’s on the Slack channel for the pre-blasts. Turns out we had 23 run the 10.7 miles for The Maynard or as our Nantan apparently wants to call it: The May May. We also had 1 legendary servant leader: Shut-in volunteering to wash our feet, I mean serve as our course manager/swag waggon/emotional support/cooler retriever/safety official/cheerleader/mentor/and all around High Impact Man! If you are not sharpened by his Iron then you are doing it wrong. [Read More]

Phoenix Rising From The Arctic

Posted on January 20, 2018 | 3 minutes | 513 words |

Rising from days of snow and arctic air the 20 HIM at Phoenix this morning ended their week on the lofty heights of another Carpex beatdown. Here’s how it went: Warm-up: No FNG’s so no disclaimer and we were off jogging from the starting flag up the road to the next parking lot. Then, circled up for some SSH (IC), Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, and Sir Fazio Arm Circles forward, then backward. [Read More]

Merkin in a Winter Wonderland

Posted on January 18, 2018 | 3 minutes | 431 words |

9 souls braved Snowmaggedon to be warmed by the fellowship that naturally occurs when HIMs get together. I mean, it’s scientifically proven. It’s the stable genius that makes us wake up at 5:15, put on four layers, and traipse through snow and ice. One might even call it talismanic. Also talismanic: that Ole Ripper has a backup truck. And not some small jalopy. I mean a MAN’s truck. Like a Canyonero 8000HD or some shit like that. [Read More]

No snow, no truck

Posted on January 17, 2018 | 1 minutes | 208 words |

27 men didn’t care what the weather man said. Snow? Blinding, blizzard like Cary-closing snow? No HIM cares about that. No such weather can slow an F3 man down. Now, having your Optimus Prime truck stolen out of your driveway, that can keep you from a workout. I’ve seen plenty of PAX dressed like ninjas lately, which is about what it would take to steal said Optimus Prime truck out of your driveway. [Read More]

Roundabout

Hot and fresh from the BRR interest/info meeting held by Hot Spot the night before I had fond memories of Old Maid’s Vesper Q from way back in the year 2017. So with vests, lamps and batons in hand we did what all great men do. Stand on the backs of those before us to reach new heights, ahem elevations? Warm up: 10x - GM’s IC 20x SSH IC 10x - Windmills IC 10x - IW IC 10x KDK IC The Thang: [Read More]

Thirsty Thursday Pub Crawl

Posted on January 11, 2018 | 2 minutes | 392 words |

Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the digital emotional headlock. The Twitters were damn near frozen last week, but alas YHC and Riptide were able to talk FNG Ted into making his debut at BO (nickname to come in NMS). With that YHC set out to introduce him to Carpex’s flagship AO with a tour of the local watering holes. So a pub crawl it is. Warm-up: Mosey to the bank to take out some cash for our pub crawl After Coney dropped the ball (we did some good mornings), McCants stepped up to the “how much money do we need to go out drinking” with a healthy “$60, aye!

Fellowship Pain Sticks

Posted on January 10, 2018 | 3 minutes | 460 words |

Last week at Rush Hour the fountains were frozen, this week we were all wearing short sleeves. Warm-Up Mosey around the parking lot a couple of times then circle up. We often go around the horn during Mary, but why not the warm-up? So we went around the horn doing side straddle hops, imperial walkers, cotton pickers and calf stretches. The Thang Mosey back behind the parking deck and grab a pain stick. [Read More]

QSwap @ Flirting With Disaster – or – Slide Rules Goes to Carpex!

Posted on January 9, 2018 | 4 minutes | 809 words |

Background: For those who don’t know, Carpex is world region locally renowned for their Mumble Chatter. Also, the last time I Q’d in #SouthWake, the neighborhood FB / community running pages lit up with complaints about that “infernal loud counting” by F3 (aka YHC). Seems like a match made in heaven. Let’s make some NOISE boys! Background Pt 2: YHC arrived a little early to find PetSounds standing in the parking lot…in dockers and an argyle sweater. [Read More]

Shuttyversary Day 3: Gettin' After It

Posted on January 6, 2018 | 2 minutes | 306 words |

YHC and a crew of 7 hit up a little EC Phoenix run to kick the morning off. A 1 mile down / 1 mile back run. Upon return to Phoenix there was a new face amongst the crowd. Apparently 1 HIM-in-training saw YHC’s call to action on Facebook to join some men in the outdoors and the cold for a 0630 workout! Welcome FNG Butterscotch! Disclaimer was applied and we lapped the parking lot and ran out to the intersection for our #ShutInStandard Warmup. [Read More]
