Backblast

Posted on November 26, 2018 | 2 minutes | 365 words |

Is it gonna rain, or isn’t it. Last night Steve said it was likely to rain. This morning, he’s saying it won’t. 17, er, 18 HIMs braved the uncertainty that is the iPhone weather app and posted on a near-perfect 50 degree November morning. First exercise, the Pledge of Allegiance Warm Up Pet Sounds arrives. Slow count Good Mornings, Sir Fazio arm circles, overhead claps, Steve Earles, Cotton Pickers, and Merkins (on my down AND up).

11-19-88. It’s a number I’ve recorded a ton of times, and now it’s 30 years in the past. Warmup. This is Kryptonite, you get no warmup. Follow me out to Ederlee and the lake greenway entrance. Pause for 30 merkins, OMD. Partner up for a catch me if you can around the lake with 8 cadence prisoner squats (or just sprint if you’re Flip Flop). Rendezvous at the fence. 10 penalty burpees followed by 30 LBCs, IC. [Read More]

The 2018 Odyssey: It’s a Journey, Not a Race

Posted on November 10, 2018 | 29 minutes | 6037 words |

In CARPEX, we have a saying “if there’s no Back Blast then either it was a Riptide Q or it didn’t happen”. But the Odyssey did happen (I have the t-shirt to prove it) and so it must to go down into the annals of CARPEX so that someday future generations will read about it and ask themselves “What the #*@(#* were those morons thinking?!?!!” So what the #*@(#* were we thinking?

11/7/18 We had a blast doing pull-ups, monkey humpers, rock your bodies, fast feet, curb hops and Australian mountain climbers. Most complained, but all delighted in the punishment.

Water Wings Week Begins

Posted on November 5, 2018 | 2 minutes | 304 words |

YHC couldn’t have asked for a more glorious morning to Water Wings Week than what God blessed us with this morning. Water falling from the sky pretty much the whole morning to keep the sweat at bay. We moseyed to the usual warm-up parking lot for some SSH, Merkins, Calf stretches and Good Mornings. Next, Mosey to the far parking lot to find a rock. We setup in the parking circle for the thang.

DRP - Decisions

Posted on October 26, 2018 | 2 minutes | 407 words |

#DRP Proverbs 25:28 - Like a city whose walls are broken through is a man who lacks self control We each made the conscience decision to take the Red Pill - resolving to do what is hard and true, over what is easy. Each day we make 1000s of decisions, some of which set the course for our lives. Your first decision today was not easy, its raining, its cold, but you knew that through this effort you would be incrementally more than you were yesterday. [Read More]

A little name calling (and poo slinging) after some pre announced shoulder work

Posted on October 22, 2018 | 3 minutes | 460 words |

A brisk cold morning met us today as we disembarked from the toasty warm cars at Hells Bells this morning. What is that Snots and Squatter running in? and Pickles dressed for the summer? Seems like the Odyssey hangover was still in the air this morning. Promptly at 5:30 (yes Squatter, the Qs time piece is always correct), we did two slow laps around the pickle to try to get the blood flowing. [Read More]

Circumsack

Posted on October 17, 2018 | 2 minutes | 396 words |

30+ Pax found a way to get to Bond Park Senior Center today between the hours of 0430 and 0545. Some arrived that early for #TheMaynard, others a little later for #Insomnia, and picking up the 6 were those ready for a #Beatdown or a #Vesper run. For those that couldn’t make it a new(ish) F3 Lexicon word was discovered by YHC during a recent 43Feet podcast. Some guys faced certain circumstances; work, family, scheduling, issues and had to fartsack. [Read More]
