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]

School makeup day - CARPEx Dad style

 Posted on January 20, 2018  |  5 minutes  |  862 words  |  

After barely one day of schooling since sometime in the fall, the 2.0s came out in force this morning for a makeup day care of Dr. Pierogi. And, as any good substitute teacher, I had a vague idea of a lesson plan in mind. Yup, that’s right. This was going to be another classic Pierogi Q… except this time I had grand hopes of keeping the troops motivated with the promise of snacks and Gatorade! [Read More]

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?

The Day EVERYBODY Spelled MERLOT

 Posted on January 15, 2018  |  1 minutes  |  191 words  |  

Pre-BB It was high time that EVERYBODY at a CarPex AO ALL spelled MERLOT on the same workout. YHC was determined to make that happen today. And so it did. BB 6 highly committed, highly motivated men spelled MERLOT at Wolverine on a nippy January morning. The Warmup - Pledge of Allegiance at the flag - Run to the north field, far corner - SSHs, Good Mornings, St. Merkins, Sir Fazio+OH Claps, Penalty Burpees, Hillbillies, LBCs - Run to the rock pile, grab a “one hand” rock - Run to the shelter with the rock over your head [Read More]

Ab-stract

 Posted on January 10, 2018  |  8 minutes  |  1505 words  |  

Ab-stract: existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence. Fear and Trepidation- Gotta admit it fellas, SNS is like the Holy Grail (okay, wrong AO, that’s Flying Circus) of Carpex workouts (sorry DZ) to me. So much going on here on Wednesday mornings, that over the last 2.5 years YHC has been constantly growing more and more nervous about the possibility of ever Q’ing this site.

Wolverine Tour (or how we found our way out of the gloom)

 Posted on January 8, 2018  |  3 minutes  |  539 words  |  

Does anyone else sleep terribly before a Q, especially when it’s an AO VQ? YHC isn’t afraid to admit that he does. This time was no different. At least three times I woke up checking the clock, making sure I hadn’t overslept. Maybe it was just the fact that I hadn’t done much in the way of planning for this Q. After all, what’s there to plan for when you can’t see the nose in front of your face? [Read More]

 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]

The 2nd Most Amazing Workout To Have..... never happened

 Posted on January 5, 2018  |  6 minutes  |  1102 words  |  

Yep the weather app stated 11 degrees. At 6:40 a.m. YHC waited for next door neighbor @f3pierogi to emerge. Nothing. Damnation, he fartsacked on his own neighbor. That’s when YHC should have gone into his garage, utilizing Pierogi’s obvious garage code “TCUrulz”, to confiscate all his homebrew. But YHC didn’t. Instead moseyed/slid a couple of blocks to DZ. YHC was nervous. Ice appeared to be covering DZ—potentially spoiling YHCs plan for the 2nd Most Amazing Workout To Have Ever Happened (the 1st Most Amazing was here as written by @mccantscarpex).
