Slow. DOWN.

 Posted on September 20, 2018  |  4 minutes  |  838 words  |  

Occasionally, I like to sit on my porch and tell the kids (and defecating dogs) to stay off my lawn, to complain about the weather, reminisce about walking to school, upAndy, in the snow, both ways, and to yell at the cars to SLOW DOWN. That was the genesis of this workout. And, like almost any old man story, that is completely false. I actually realized about 1/7th of the way through Ma Bells ridiculous Hindenberg workout at FOD (the OG of Tuesday Carpex AOs) that my form was becoming exceedingly sloppy and rushed.

How Not to Win Friends & Influence People

 Posted on September 18, 2018  |  3 minutes  |  524 words  |  

Someone mentioned to me last week that I had the Q this week at FOD. I had not remembered that. It would have been super embarrassing to travel across CarPEX Nation and miss a Q at FOD. I mean, who does that? Anyway, given this is the OG Tuesday AO in CarPEX, I wanted to bring it. Nobody splashed but the level of hatred thrown my way leads YHC to the following conclusion: mission accomplished. [Read More]

A River Runs Through It

I know all you Robert Redford fans are rolling your eyes right about now but trust me, I wouldn’t steal it if I truly didn’t need it. Now that Flo is no mo and being how we are the men of F3 it only made sense to me that we take the lead in returning our little community park back to pre-storm conditions (or at least the running path). As I pre-blasted, we’ll mosey around the Apex Lake clearing debris as we go. [Read More]

YHC woke up not so bright but very early this fine morning at 4:24a, a good 30 minutes before my alarm. I took that as a sign to give Insomnia EC run a try. I was a bit intimidated by the 9 min/mile pace but was shocked to complete the 4.0 miles in 36 minutes flat. A record to try to improve on next time. After the run I met up with Disco Duck and Pulley for a bruiser side workout at SNS. [Read More]
