Backblast two-fer

Taking a page out of the high-tempo-ness of the two AOs to which this two-fer belongs and high-tempoing this mofo in one uninterrupted writing block. Clock. Starts. Now. 7:01PM start. Measured Thrice Location: TGM PAX: YHC, Parker, Snots, 1-4, Pivot, Skidmore (out of towner… sort of), Biner, Hi-Liter + Ruckers: Trike, Repeato + Pooch, Skipper Warm-up: Bring yo gloves. Bring yo water. Start your Stravas. Follow me. Leave said gloves and said water (except Hi-Liter who claims that water makes him weak) over by the buses. [Read More]

Are we still writing backblasts?

Hello, and welcome to Fastest Friday AO in Carpex! The site that never shut down. Where mileage records are set and asterisks are badges of honor. YHC put forth his best marketing campaign he could to reQruit our native #beardedmillennial but with the Covid15 around his waste, Fortnight at his fingers, and a warm and dry fartsack YHC received word this morning at 0830 he “didn’t hear the alarms.” And he’s “sorry man”.

RESPECT

This Guy! Largemouth, Denali and Wonderbread for some EC laps around the AO. Today is a perfect example of never giving up on your dreams. I’ve waited for this day for 50 years and it finally happened. You see kids…. Great group of defiant HIM this morning for an early rollout of Phase 2. We ran, circled up, and celebrated the day of my birth with 5 Good Mornings; 19 Steve Earles; and 70 (IC) SSH. [Read More]

THEMES...sometimes less is more

This guy! Michelob, Largemouth, Chanticleer and Blazing Banjo for a little EC. Great group of guys this morning including a FNG. A disclaimer was given, and then a disclaimer about the disclaimer was given. Today was supposed to be the day before This guy! and Michelob left for Boston to run a little road race they have there, and we had signed up to Q GT as a little sendoff. Then COVID-19 happened and so… but we decided to Q anyway. [Read More]

Eric Carmen

This Guy! for a solo EC run. While running I couldn’t get the song “All by Myself” out of my head, when I thought I might be all alone for the workout. So I’d like to present for discussion a new word to the Lexicon… The Eric Carmen, a workout where you are all by yourself. However that didn’t last long as I saw Pet Sounds and Theismann pull into the parking lot for the ME [Read More]

No counting; Unauthorized Homer to Marge; Gates...it's banana land.

This Guy! and Michelob, Largemouth and Chanticleer for a little EC run. Hey look, 5 other HIM. Let’s workout. Mosey over the church parking lot. Some agility drills along the way, then circle up. **Warm-Up **Good Morning, Windmill, Steve Earle, SSH, Mnt. Climber, Plank Jack Mosey back over to the track around the field to count the number of fences and gates that are unnecessarily placed around the field confusing even the smartest among us.

"It's as easy as ABC..."

So YHC had been on the Q sheet for SNS for a while now, before AOs started to close and practically all of F3 had shut down. Without still attending “F3” workouts, I know I would go to a bad place of staying up late, eating like garbage, and worst of all, not working out. So might as well still show up and see if anyone else does too. Low and behold, upon pulling in the parking lot there stands 3 other Pax and some runners cruising around the parking lot of the Bond Park Senior Center. [Read More]

It's called WWI. Look it up!

This Guy! (instead of YHC. What do you think Denali?) for an EC 3.5 mile run with now 53-year-old Michelob, Denali, Largemouth, Chanticleer, and Grandpa Banjo Hey, look there’s Hermes, Francois, and Hi-Liter. Let’s work out. Mosey to larger parking lot Warm-Up Good Morning, Windmill, SSH, Calf Stretch Thang One Located a nice size hill, ordered extra headwind and called out 11’s with L/R Jump Lunges at the bottom and Squats at the top.

What a co-inky-dink

At 0510 I parked my car at Apex Nature Park. At 0515 I set off on a little EC run. At 0542 I arrived back at my car to find 10 other HIM standing around. So at 0545, I asked them if they wanted to join me in some random exercising. They agreed. So we were off. Mosey to the top parking lot and circle up. **Warm-Up **Good Morning, Windmill, Steve Earle [Read More]

Best Estimate in the Circus

March 5, 2020, it’s a perfect day for a morning workout, and for YHC’s VQ at FC. Thanks to Pivot for signing me up, it’d probably take me much longer to make up my mind even though it had been mentioned to me a couple times recently. Slight jitter to start as YHC did not have a lot of time to go through the Q plan that was made up the day before, but knew the structure’s there. [Read More]
