There weren’t Fire-ant Bombs, but there were fire-ants and there were B.O.M.B.S. 14 of the finest Carpex PAX gathered in the Wolverine gloom for a beatdown. Build-a-Bear, Biner, and PBX enjoyed a three-mile EC from Crema at least until they arrived on site and encountered the fire-ants. As 5:30 approached, PBX was still in battle with the fireants, three of our far west Cary PAX arrived kind of on time, and no FNGs were present. [Read More]

Warm-up Sadly Aretha Franklin died yesterday. We did not do a themed workout but to honor the Queen of Soul we did do a themed warm-up from her song “Think” with mixed results and lots of feedback from the PAX: Two laps around the pickle T - Travolta’s - Basically a plank with a Saturday Night Fever dance move with your arm. H - Hillbillie’s I - Iron Mike’s - This was a fail N - Nadal’s - Sprints on the court K - Kraken Merkin’s - Burpee with 3 merkins at the bottom. [Read More]

So when Build-A-Bear messaged me on Monday to “ask” me to incorporate the pain sticks into my Q on Wednesday, of course I said yes. You’ve seen him right? So with my original workout put back on the shelf for another day, I started drawing up some new plans. Big group this morning of Insomniacs, Vesperers and SNSers. The boot campers broke off and headed toward the community center to find the afore mentioned pain sticks waiting for them. [Read More]

YHC has driven past North Cary Park many times on the way to various destinations. However, this is the first post. Luckily Google maps gives some very detailed satellite photos of what is rumored to be the premiere site in Cary on Fridays. There is cluster-Q potential with this one, after YHC sees the collection of HIMs who have decided to post. Nineteen, in all. Warm Up Standard fare of SSHs, Cotton Pickers, Sir Fazio, BURPEES, Plank Jacks, and Merkins (and my down AND my UP). [Read More]

As we wrapped up COT at FMJ on Tuesday, I let the PAX know I’d be Q’ing SNS Wednesday, and invited to the beatdown. “What do you think McCants will come up with tomorrow, another MURPH?” said one. The PAX fell silent for a moment, pondering, praying, wondering whether they should just Vesper. Then an angelic, velvet smooth voice cut through the blissful peace: “I know exactly what McCants is going to do. [Read More]
