What to Expect When You're Expecting

 Posted on April 10, 2017  |  2 minutes  |  386 words  |  

As a fairly frequent Q and poster to Carpex workouts I feel like I’m a pretty good numbers guesser. This is key when planning a workout. Helps you to pick the right excercises, etc etc. So for this workout I planned for about 12. There were 6 the week before and then average numbers were mid teens. Good guess right? There were 23. And that’s with Open Out fartsacking as I waited out from of his house for a few minutes. [Read More]

Beautiful morning in downtown Cary this morning - Burt showed up in full golf attire to celebrate the first Thursday of the Masters (John Daly shorts, Footjoys, putter, etc.) He looked good - but later on learned that footjoys are not the best running shoes. Pleasantries exchanged, Coney gave a quiet disclaimer to our FNG, Nantan started barking about the time so we were off. YHC shot down the road like he was out of a cannon, around the corner.

Round 2 of Double Q

 Posted on April 6, 2017  |  3 minutes  |  623 words  |  

Having rid myself of negative feelings at Round 1 of Double Q regarding the cheaters…no, moving on; they know what they did…a much kindler, gentler Ma Bell showed up to Q round 2. Maybe it was just the sweltering heat that drained YHC of all energy after a mentally exhausting day at work; we’ll never know. 6 strong, aaaaaand let’s roll. Jog over to the parking lot and up the stairs to the top of the parking deck for some assorted warm-up exercises that honestly escape me…cause I was literally making it all up as I went along.

Ring Around the Fountain

A bold PAX of 25 posted this AM. As Coxswain came cruising in at 05:44:59, the PAX proceeded to the newly erected Town of Cary downtown park fountain and circled up around the fountain. The men were blown away at its beauty and the Q drowned out by its constant flow of running water. Warm-Up: 20 Merkins 10 Good Mornings 20 Side straddle hops The roar of the fountain was so intense that the Q had to audible off of his invisible wenke and ordered the PAX to Academy street for an Indian Run/Hunt for the rock pile.
