With BRR around the corner, 94 days to go, the training has begun for many newbies and veterans alike. And feeling a little behind the curve following last years nipple run, it’s time to get into hill shape. Warm Up jog around the parking lot and circle up for various warmup exercises including runners stretch. [Read More]

YHC had not Q’d since we sent the guys to Peru so I was long overdue. A cool and clear spring morning brought strong numbers out to Salem Elementary. EC guys rolled in with a minute to spare and after a piecemeal disclaimer we began. Warm Up Good Mornings Windmills Sixty Second Arm Circles (Check out the exicon, I think I did them justice but confusion ensued!) Sprinkler (Another exicon gem, looked more like a Heisman pose or awkward prom dance move) [Read More]

Stupid uncle Owen. 29 of us moseyed to the parking lot for warm-ups Han Solo Hops Princess Leia Lunges Chewbacca Merkins (on my grunt) Obi Squat Kenobis Imperial Walkers Leia secured the Death Star plans and was subsequently chased by Darth Vader.

It was a perfect morning to bring out the old tank-top, but it required digging it out of my pile of old t-shirts that I keep for some reason. Is it possible for t-shirts to have sentimental value? Smokey had the same idea, and looked quite stylish in his colorful apparel. We began with the F3 disclaimer and pledge. Then a short jog to the end of the park for: [Read More]
