In the words of Jigglypuff "A Kingly VQ"

I almost spilled Merlot during my VQ. I knew I wanted my VQ to be the week of my 30th birthday and no better way to send Kyrie back off to Marine Pilot school than to try to give his Marine boot camp a run for it’s money (yeah right). Accomplishment Adrenaline. The Warm Up The Pledge of Allegiance. Mosey over to the FM parking lot for the warm up which included a little bit of Good Mornings, Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Merkins and LBCs. [Read More]

Military Time

28 strong for a #TeamFOD Q this morning. YHC has now become used to 0530 (and soon to be 0515) workouts that upon arrival there was plenty of time to stretch. Pax started rolling in but, of course, none made an entrance like Burt…yes Burt was at FOD. I think for the first time since we tried to throw Callahan a surprise baby shower, so like what, 2-3 years ago!? Anyways he came in windows down mumblin his chatter BEFORE HE EVEN PARKED HIS CAR!

Beaker's Back-up

YHC was up early this morning, looking forward to a Beaker Beatdown. Unfortunately Beaker was under the weather and needed someone to pick up his Q, and since YHC was the only other person awake at 4 AM, it was all mine. Beaker’s Back-up’s Beginnings (The Warm-up) Mosey over to the parking lot next to the hill and circle up for side straddle hops, cotton pickers, hillbillies, copperhead merkins and copperhead squats.

One Thang

16 pax came out to do a thang this morning… YHC has never done the Q week thing because…well because YHC doesn’t want to. It’s tiring and it’s a lot of planning and backblast writing. Yet, somehow we got where we are today. 5 b-day Qs this week (day 6 is the Odyssey, aw shucks oh well). As YHC pulls into the lot he sees 4 guys punkin him and running before the workout.

Sometimes Vanilla is the Right Flavor

Ever since I attended my first themed workout, I knew that is the way I wanted to go when I started Q’ing. I believe it was a Hello Kitty Q themed on the college football playoffs, nothing fancy, but it was never the less, inspirational. However, a time comes in every man’s life where he has to embrace change and also that time was Sunday night where he hasn’t come up with a theme and needs to go to bed, hence my first vanilla Q.

If the glove don't fit...

18 of Carpex’s finest HIMs arrived in the finally crisp fall morning hours at North Cary Park for a Doogie VQ adventure. Mumblechatter was at its finest with Burt in tow especially after I gave him free reign to speak his mind since he named me 4 months ago at Wolverine (spoiler alert). Unfortunately for Burt he needed to be reigned back in only a few minutes later… After a nice jog around the pickle we completed the following: [Read More]

Cherries and Merkins

Pre-Blast This being my virgin Q, it was great to do at BO as it was my FNG site. I really appreciated all the help from and support from the PAXs, before and during workout. Hermes brought cherries, Lite Brite provided water, and Burt provided tank tops. Warm-Up Pledge of allegiance Ran to the bank and circled up to do: 10 -good mornings 20 - side saddle hop 20 - Merkins [Read More]

Effort Drives Excellence

YHC was definitely a little anxious (yet confident) leading up to the VQ at F3 Carpex’s finest AO in downtown Apex, Bounty Hunters. Woke up extra early to mentally prepare and to make sure I knew how to use my wife’s watch (I hate watches) for the workout. I then headed to the skate park early only to find out Disco Duck beat me there. After a great pep talk, I moseyed around to ensure my plan would work while Disco Duck went to take a leak in the woods.
