224: Gregorian Style

Posted on August 21, 2019 | 1 minutes | 121 words |

The PAX at Wolverine celebrated the 224th day of the Gregorian calendar on August 12, 2019. After a quick disclaimer and pledge, we moseyed across Davis Drive and to the middle school parking lot. Several warm-up exercises were completed, including a set of Ernie Davis Heismans (we missed you, Biner). To celebrate the 224th day of 2019, the group enjoyed a Gregorian merkin mile – 4 laps around the track, with 4 sets of 22 merkins at the conclusion of each lap. [Read More]

Six degrees of (scratch that)…eight exercises of Kevin Bacon

Posted on August 21, 2019 | 3 minutes | 462 words |

Everyone knows what July 8th is…none other than Kevin Bacon’s birthday. So what better way to celebrate one of America’s national treasure than to play Kevin Bacon movie trivia. Full disclaimer, this BB is now 6 weeks late and the video of who was there is, well, gone. I do remember Trike, Liverpool and me there, but none of the other 20ish in attendance. So, if you were there (or wished you were there), please let me know and I’ll amend the entry. [Read More]

Anything for a Q-zie

Posted on August 20, 2019 | 2 minutes | 215 words |

While perusing our beautiful Q-sheet, looking for a spot to q and remembered I had never Q’d FMJ and there was an open spot and you get a koozie. I mean when stars align you go with it, even if you don’t have a theme ready to go. Everyone gathered in the parking lot, trying to stay away from the problematic traffic coming in. Disclaimer for the Pax/FNGs and we’re off. [Read More]

Bigger than I expected ...

TWSS. A sizeable group of Carpex’s finest showed up and parked along Laura Duncan. Crap. There goes the planned workout. Not a problem, you can conjure up just about anything on a steady mosey. After 34 welcome fist bumps, a thorough disclaimer, an intro to FNG Paul and we were off. After a stellar weekend at F3 Dad’s Camp that included quite the libation session around a fire and more carbs and saltpeter (KNO₃) that’s remotely advised for anyone, I was ready to get after it.

BRR Training Barkley Style

Posted on August 19, 2019 | 2 minutes | 315 words |

The hills at Danger Zone are intense! Having done a few BRR training runs there last year, I knew it was time to get back. When I saw the open Q spot, it was a sign that I must share the love. YHC pre-blasted the plans Thursday on the Slacks, so everyone could see the big idea. I know that DZ is not a high tempo workout, but would resemble that on this day. [Read More]
