Twas another splendid Tuesday morning in at Field of Dreams. YHC was ready to go after a brisk run to the AO with BOGO, Squatter, and Michelob. We gathered, I recited some form of a disclaimer. Debate ensued on whether we should state the fact that it is a disclaimer, or if we should simply disclaim. Quick mosey around the parking lot and we all join the pivot family circle of trust for warmups. [Read More]

It’s a little known secret that when YHC Qs sometimes I transpose numbers or leave out/imply the unimportant ones. It isn’t really an issue though because I am still considered the best Q in Carpex (In fact, Ma Bell has even taken me aside a number of times and offered to pay for me to attend an elite Q school called Camp Gladiator for the next few years.) But there is always room for improvement so YHC thought long and hard about how to deal with all of these ’numbers’. [Read More]

I’ll admit, sometimes I still flip on the ole GPS to get me out to DP, but when I get there I’m reminded at just how glorious this site is. A few hombres showed up at 0510 for ECP and laps. The only way to get better at pull-ups is to do more pull-ups. Aye! Back to the lot around 5:35 for record PUT6 w/ The Commish. Episode available HERE. [Read More]

4am. 10 month old is up and Daddy Dooty begins. Roughly 510, YHC sneeks out of nursery, dresses and hits the door in hopes to make the 520 pre run. As I come flying in, I see an empty parking lot. Luckily, Denali arrives a few min later and we take off on a leisurely stroll through Cary’s finest back roads. 542, we both realize we are going to be late getting back. [Read More]

Buenos Dias, Hermanos. When it was announced that Liverpool and Water Wings would share their Chimbote, Peru (or is it Chipotle…) story with the Pax at a bread braking and the Q sheet was WIDE FREAKING OPEN for that day, YHC had to jump on it. Knowing we’d have a squad on hand, I was extra excited (hard to believe I know) for this one. With a resounding Yooooooooooooo at 0544, we got ready to roll out. [Read More]

15 PAX entered the gloom on a 40-something degree morning in downtown Cary. A couple guys did EC - you know who you are. By the grace of the SkyQ, one of the BO twitterkeepers tweeted out that YHC was the Q for the week. YHC may or may not have remembered that. (I didn’t) In light of that, I jokingly asked @shutincarpex what he was planning to do for his Q down the road, and like a good PAX, he DM’d me his pre-blast. [Read More]

Standing EC run 0510 with Hermes, Oofta, Chipper, Wonderbread, Chanticleer, Michelob, Denali and YHC. No FNGs so No disclaimer was given by YHC. Term Paper however gave it while Moseying to the warm-up and then quickly sent a harshly worded e-mail to Ma Bell. **Warm-Up **Good Morning, Windmill, Steve Earle, Arm Circles, Merkins Mosey to Baseball Field **Thang One **Seven of Diamonds - Starting at Home plate, mosey to right field perform 7 of called exercise, mosey to left field repeat 7 of exercise, mosey to home plate, repeat 7 of exercise, bear crawl to 2nd base, sprint to center field fence, perform 7 IC count Aussie Mnt.

A half dozen for the pre-run and a full dozen for the main event showed up at Koka Booth Monday morning to start their week off right. YHC was accused of “being mean” multiple times during the workout, but then was also told it was my “best Q of the day.” Not sure which, if either, of those is true, or maybe both. I’m confused but maybe this will clear things up… [Read More]

With the Tobacco Road Half and Full Marathon approaching, the pax joined for what has quickly become an annual tradition… well at least for this second year in-a-row… a long ATT run followed by top-notch fellowship in the parking lot centered around the all-time champion of breakfast meats, BACON. Distances varied between 5-16 (based on YHC’s count), with the majority of pax locking in on that 10-mile distance. Dang near purrfect with the race coming up in 10 days. [Read More]

What a great morning for a Danger Zone workout. #MDZGA FNG Dan joined us, the disclaimer was given and off we went. Quick Mosey around the pickle and circled up for the warm-up. **Warm Up **Good Mornings, Windmill, Steve Earle, SHH Mosey down the trail to the big loop. **Thang One **Partner up - Partner Squats x 15, Partner Clap Merkins x 10, Bropees x5; Run in opposite direction and meet at the other end of the loop.
