Today the PAX took fate in their own hands with a game I like to call: Let’s Run Over To Some Hills And Randomly Pull Out Exercises From A Bag Written On Sheets Of Paper And Do These Exercises At The Top And Bottom Of The Previously Mentioned Hills or LROTSHARPOEFABWOSOPADTEATTABOTPMH for short. EC Runners included Sub, Hanson, GTL, Freebird, Orphan and YHC Disclaimer given to our FNG and we circle up [Read More]

It seemed simple enough. Run around Bond Lake and stop and do exercises every tenth of a mile. I’m just not sure where my calculations went wrong. Was the warm up too long? Was the PAX too slow? Was the rampant Mumble Chatter too mumbley? Perhaps it was the shared fear of tripping over a tree root or coming in contact with poison ivy. Maybe it was having Disco Duck’s recent copperhead snake warning ringing in our ears, trying to figure out who was going to carry Liverpool out of the woods if he gets bit again or was Grease Monkey’s silent protesting slowly spreading through the PAX.

After yesterday’s chest and shoulder Kitty Kluster at Sippery When Wet, YHC decided it to be leg and abs morning. With the Brave and Mighty Oliie posting for a solo 5-mile EC, the remaining 23 less motivated PAX assembled for the pledge and headed out on a mosey across High House for a warm up. Let it be noted that Pet Sounds posted, fresh from RDU and red-eye from Cali! [Read More]

Men, Two years ago today I showed up in the F3 Carpex Gloom at the invite of my fraternity brother, Jamie “Repeato” Roseborough. I had been back in North Carolina for about eight months and things were going well. I was getting in workouts about three days a week in the gym and crushing a strong 2-3 mile solo run on the weekend. Things were fine, right? Wrong. Something was still missing, and as they say, you now know the rest of the story. [Read More]

8 HIM gather in the gloom for another Claymore, limited run, beatdown care of Earhart. Welcome to FNG Caddyshack, who received the disclaimer (mostly) and then we performed the Pledge. After a quick lap around the upper parking lot pickle, we circle-up for Warm Up Good Mornings Sir Fazio Imperial Walkers Cotton Pickers The Thang Done with warm-ups, we head over to the park’s lovely rock and flower garden to pick out a traveling rock.
