15 Pax including 4 FNG’s for Explored a new area at Flirtin With Disaster. Gloves were donated to each of our 4 FNG’s. Great work Oofta in bringing out all these FNGs!

The Warmup: Jog to the office park across the Parkway, a little Karaoke and backwards running, plank holding and one-arm merkins along the way to keep us all together. [Read More]

Thanks to Nature Boy for texting me yesterday asking me if I was attending A-Team. In response - I checked the Q schedule and what to my wondering eyes did appear - but my name next to the Q spot for today. I guess that seals it, I should attend. Planning can be overrated - just ask Callahan. Arrived this morning to find gates closed (nothing new here) but spring is in the air and everyone seemed to have extra pep in their step. [Read More]

What to Expect When You're Expecting

 Posted on April 10, 2017  |  2 minutes  |  386 words  |  

As a fairly frequent Q and poster to Carpex workouts I feel like I’m a pretty good numbers guesser. This is key when planning a workout. Helps you to pick the right excercises, etc etc. So for this workout I planned for about 12. There were 6 the week before and then average numbers were mid teens. Good guess right? There were 23. And that’s with Open Out fartsacking as I waited out from of his house for a few minutes. [Read More]

Cary Brewery Tour in Golf Attire

Beautiful morning in downtown Cary this morning - Burt showed up in full golf attire to celebrate the first Thursday of the Masters (John Daly shorts, Footjoys, putter, etc.) He looked good - but later on learned that footjoys are not the best running shoes. Pleasantries exchanged, Coney gave a quiet disclaimer to our FNG, Nantan started barking about the time so we were off. YHC shot down the road like he was out of a cannon, around the corner.

Round 2 of Double Q

 Posted on April 6, 2017  |  3 minutes  |  623 words  |  

Having rid myself of negative feelings at Round 1 of Double Q regarding the cheaters…no, moving on; they know what they did…a much kindler, gentler Ma Bell showed up to Q round 2. Maybe it was just the sweltering heat that drained YHC of all energy after a mentally exhausting day at work; we’ll never know. 6 strong, aaaaaand let’s roll. Jog over to the parking lot and up the stairs to the top of the parking deck for some assorted warm-up exercises that honestly escape me…cause I was literally making it all up as I went along.

Early recovery from a late night basketball game

 Posted on April 4, 2017  |  2 minutes  |  408 words  |  

I pulled into FWD this morning - a little worse for the wear after a late night basketball game. I did a few donuts around the mini-pickle as I pulled in - partially to scare Hermes and Blue and Out and partially to wake myself up. 8 hearty souls made the trek this morning and were anxious to get after it - in the beautiful weather. (As a sidenote, Largemouth gave me a HC yesterday…. [Read More]

Danger Zone welcomed us with a deluge as March was determined to go out like a lion. If you don’t get that reference, look it up. I’ll wait…Anyway, YHC’s grand, beast-like plans were thwarted. Yeah, we could have run around the pickle and rolled around in it with some Superman - Bananas, but nah. Warm-Up Jog up and around by the basketball court and into the shelter. Perform a little Hot Spot-esque feng shui (again, I’ll wait…) with the tables to make room for the Thang. [Read More]
